Preseason: Bucs At Jags, Open Thread
August 8th, 2014
Joe offers his greetings from Jacksonville as the Bucs open the 2014 preseason against the Jags. You should check Joe’s Instagram account. All in crystal clear HD.
So there are all sorts of questions for Bucs fans. Too many to list, on both offense and defense. It should be an interesting game if for no other reason than the newness of the Lovie Smith regime.
Bang it here early and often for your thoughts on the game. As always, pasting a link to an illegal video feed will get you banned but you are welcome to e-mail each other a link to a live feed.
Enjoy the game!

New Unis look good!
August 8th, 2014 at 7:36 pm
New unis look horrible!
August 8th, 2014 at 7:38 pm
GMC
August 8th, 2014 at 7:39 pm
Gmc!!
August 8th, 2014 at 7:39 pm
lol at the first two posts!
August 8th, 2014 at 7:43 pm
I liked the pewter and red better.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:44 pm
Well that was an awful 1st series by the offense.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:44 pm
I like the new look, sets us apart
August 8th, 2014 at 7:44 pm
well, the offensive line looks familiar, lol
August 8th, 2014 at 7:45 pm
WOW! Guards are really bad
August 8th, 2014 at 7:45 pm
O-line: even worse than advertised
August 8th, 2014 at 7:45 pm
Agreed, they completely butchered our once great uniforms. The helmet is nice but the jerseys are gross.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:45 pm
yep, it look like a lovie coached team.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:46 pm
Looks like the Bucs alll right. Good defense. Three and out with penalties and bad offensive line play on offense. GMC is looking unstoppable.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:49 pm
Sharp uniforms. oline looked as expected…
August 8th, 2014 at 7:49 pm
Clayborn sack!
August 8th, 2014 at 7:51 pm
I live in SC and bought preseason live….but the game is blacked out…..two states away really???? Any help guys
August 8th, 2014 at 7:51 pm
My wife saw the unis and instantly said, “There is no way I’m buying one of those jerseys.”
Offensive line is, as predicted, no good. Hopefully they just need to gel. The rest of the offense? Not too bad.
Defense is doing great. Rushing the QB is creating opportunities for turnovers already.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:52 pm
Think Meredith and cousins already lost starting guard jobs. Who is out there? Call travelle Wharton
August 8th, 2014 at 7:53 pm
Love the new Unis.
Looks like we need some O-lineman
August 8th, 2014 at 7:53 pm
It’s almost like someone’s been telling this D to get after people.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:54 pm
Oline sucks really, really bad.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:55 pm
Unis are badass! Oline looks bad but defense looks good!
August 8th, 2014 at 7:56 pm
Here at Everbank Stadium score boards are awesome!! Josh made a great run out of the broken play. Just waiting for some throwing plays. Go bucs!
August 8th, 2014 at 7:56 pm
“hello, Ritchie? Ritchie incognito?”
“this is Coach Smith, when can you be in Tampa?”
August 8th, 2014 at 7:56 pm
Great punt!
August 8th, 2014 at 7:56 pm
helpppp i want to watch the game but i can’t i live in NJ. Does anyone have a link?
August 8th, 2014 at 7:56 pm
Offensive line looks like sh!t
August 8th, 2014 at 7:56 pm
Long season if this o-line can’t even keep Jax off of quarterback
August 8th, 2014 at 7:57 pm
Online looks terrible. At least the jerseys look sharp. GMC is a freak in beast!!
August 8th, 2014 at 7:57 pm
wow, this is a flash back to the old Dungy teams. just fighting for field position!
August 8th, 2014 at 7:57 pm
Anybody miss Davin Joseph and Jeremy Zuttah? Heck, anybody miss Jeremy Trueblood at this point?
August 8th, 2014 at 7:57 pm
Who needs an O-line? Draft receivers, tight ends and running backs. Buc problems.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:57 pm
Whoa! OL, EEEW.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:58 pm
Puke…
First Defensive series we looked real good. 2nd was okay but we didn’t adjust super quick to their hurry up. Offensive Line needs ALOT of work.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:58 pm
O line looks terrible, so bad that we can’t see how good the wideouts are. And I like the uniforms
August 8th, 2014 at 7:58 pm
Simply put, O-line is the reason I’m worried
August 8th, 2014 at 7:58 pm
That strong odor you smell is the offensive line.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:58 pm
Joe
I’m sorry but our Guards are a real issue. We need to let Edwards and Jace Daniels play with the first team for a little bit.
August 8th, 2014 at 7:59 pm
Jacksonville’s getting a little jumpy
August 8th, 2014 at 7:59 pm
oline looks aweful. it is preseason but jeez
August 8th, 2014 at 8:00 pm
Come on get that safety!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:00 pm
Come on get that safety!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:00 pm
I am down right pissed off that L&L even considered going into camp with an O-line like this. It’s a sad joke.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:00 pm
Clayborn blocked pass!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:00 pm
Sooo are guards are HORRIBLE!!!…I mean McCown has 0 time! God help us vs Panthers & Rams, this might get Freddy Kruger scary!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:01 pm
Man if we dont get this offensive line fixed our whole offense will be injured on the sidelines. Cousins is horrible! We need to look long and hard at lineman that will become available. Go Bucs!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:02 pm
At least the defense looks stout so far. It’s just the jags though
August 8th, 2014 at 8:02 pm
To their credit, I’ve heard a lot of people who are high on the Jags coach and look for them to get better. Maybe their D-line is just playing really solid.
I’m not watching the game so this is speculation. I have to wait to watch it on NFL Network in the morning
August 8th, 2014 at 8:02 pm
Let’s see if the offense can get going here
August 8th, 2014 at 8:04 pm
At work in the car. What is a mobile site i can stream the audio for the game on?
August 8th, 2014 at 8:04 pm
And some of you thought Joe has overblown the state of the offensive line …
August 8th, 2014 at 8:05 pm
anyone have a link for the game??
August 8th, 2014 at 8:05 pm
Well thats just pitiful..
August 8th, 2014 at 8:05 pm
bring in Glennon, the “future” is now!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:05 pm
2nd offense will look better
August 8th, 2014 at 8:05 pm
And there we go. Nice floater McCown. Do we have a 1st down yet? BUC BALL!!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:05 pm
@Colin – I’m listening to Gene on the Bucs’ app
August 8th, 2014 at 8:06 pm
Eewwwe
August 8th, 2014 at 8:06 pm
Trying to make a play cuz you can’t get protected by o-line, don’t blame Josh
August 8th, 2014 at 8:06 pm
Ouch…. That hurt….. Even the dunkineers can’t jump that high!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:06 pm
Wow, pick six, that one was not on the line.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:06 pm
Wow o-line is pathetic
August 8th, 2014 at 8:06 pm
Mederith is getting destroyed! Cousins cousin can block better than him @ this point! Lovie needs to take McCown out before he takes a bad hit! We are not gameplanning oook I get it but this REALLY shows how bad this o-line is!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:07 pm
Glennon, Glennon, Glennon!!!!!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:07 pm
Lovie isn’t going to be able to circumvent the offensive line questions anymore because our O Line looks like straight booty
August 8th, 2014 at 8:07 pm
This line- like we suspected- can’t block anyone.
Need the O-line coach fired tonight.
Need new guards in here soon.
Josh has been hit every play
There hasn’t been a crack to run thru.
If that O-line coach though these guys were pros, he should be off the payroll before they leave J-Ville
August 8th, 2014 at 8:07 pm
Sad face
August 8th, 2014 at 8:07 pm
Keep it up McCown, Glennon gonna be startin in no time with throws like that.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:07 pm
@Rsrq – McCown threw the damn ball. Of course you can blame him…he should know better. You can also blame the offensive line for giving him no time. It isn’t a either or situation.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:08 pm
So is Jacksonville’s defensive line really good or is the bucs online really bad?
August 8th, 2014 at 8:08 pm
ty Patrick in VA
August 8th, 2014 at 8:08 pm
this is pathetic.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
WOW this team is laughable
August 8th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
Let’s see how he responds to adversity.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
I can’t watch the game but judging by your comments I’m terrified about the o line
August 8th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
Just what I was afraid of. All our new toys mean nothing if we can’t block.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
The bucs just are not in sync. If only.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
good thing we are not showing our cards on offense
August 8th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
O-line is making me pine for the days of Kenyatta Walker.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:10 pm
OL SUX FRUIT LOOP DINGUS
August 8th, 2014 at 8:11 pm
This is the main reason why I was begging, for us to trade for LG Evan Mathis or RG Alex Boone back in May…smh Those chirps sound like barks now..lol
August 8th, 2014 at 8:12 pm
sooooooooo, how about those new jerseys…..
August 8th, 2014 at 8:12 pm
lol
August 8th, 2014 at 8:12 pm
I bet McCown doesn’t make it half way through the season with this front line
August 8th, 2014 at 8:13 pm
Funny that last year people said the Glennon Mob was using the poor O-Line play as an excuse. But now tonight, that’s all anyone is talking about.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:13 pm
Looks like Glennon willbe the QB of the Near FUTURE!!!!
Mccown is running for his life!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:14 pm
Ruh roh. Time to trad for a guard.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:14 pm

August 8th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
good thing we are not showing our cards on offense

LMAO! Tedford is just toyin’ with ’em I guess.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:14 pm
I’ll be interested to see how things shake up by next saturday. If it’s as bad as you guys are saying, I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be some changes
August 8th, 2014 at 8:15 pm
Why do Bucs games look so different then other games?
August 8th, 2014 at 8:15 pm
Only pineapple McCown will be eating is Dole if he plays like this in the regular season
August 8th, 2014 at 8:15 pm
Ugh
August 8th, 2014 at 8:16 pm
Our line is pathetic. Lets call Incognito. We neeeed a guard
August 8th, 2014 at 8:16 pm
Wow…this oline is like sticks of butter.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:16 pm
And since everyone knows how bad the interior line is now. The price has just went up on the trade market…smh …Buc it.. Get’er done L&L!!!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:16 pm
Uniforms are butt ugly, OL is ugly but, they can be replaced. We’re stuck with the uni’s.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:17 pm
I am so glad this is a preseason game. Although that fumble is mostly on mcCown, yet again he wasn’t given enough time. If this O Line doesnt get it together by the end of preseason, this is going to be a long year
August 8th, 2014 at 8:17 pm
Fruit Loop Dingus… I see somebody else watching Big Brother.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:17 pm
Richie incognito please
August 8th, 2014 at 8:17 pm
Had plenty of time on that one. He needs to work on ball security
August 8th, 2014 at 8:17 pm
that strip was on old man mcCown. gotta get it out faster than that
August 8th, 2014 at 8:17 pm
Don’t blame McCown. He’s actually moving around well. The problem i pass blocking. They are leaving nowhere to go.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
I feel bad for whatever QB has to play behind this line.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
lol what the heck is fruit loop dingus
August 8th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
I hope we sign a good punter!
Gonna be a lot of 3 and outs when we don’t turn the ball over!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
some of these posts are hilarious
August 8th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
McCown is gonna get killed behind this wet tissue of a line. Crazy bad.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
MGM is salivating
August 8th, 2014 at 8:18 pm
I’ll have to rewatch it later but it seemed like the pick and this fumble were more on McCown not getting rid of the ball. The O-Line has been terrible but I wouldn’t say it was on them on those two plays.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
incognito STAT
August 8th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
picks 6 and 2 fumbles with one turned over!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
btw, is the video bad for everyone? I have been trying to improve the pic constantly. Seems like I have these issues with NBC football every year.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
An old John McKay quote seems to be in order: “Three or four plane crashes and we’re in the playoffs.”
August 8th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
Lovie what have you gotten yourself into
August 8th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
Call Richie Incognito and let’s put the best team on the field.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
Josh had time to throw on that fumble. If that were Glennon, some of you would be cussing up a storm claiming he’s a statue. Lol
August 8th, 2014 at 8:20 pm
oh by the way that was the 2nd line dline of jax vs the 1st line OL of TB HAHAHAHAHAA
August 8th, 2014 at 8:20 pm
Get ready for a long year. This o-line is worse than last year’s unit. I don’t need a whole pre-season to know that. Same ole Bucs.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:20 pm
I remember watching the draft and screaming at the tv in the 3rd round that we passed on G Gabe Jackson from Mississippi. Meanwhile we have 4 RBs
August 8th, 2014 at 8:21 pm
HOW CAN WE BE THIS BAD!!!!!!!!!!!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:21 pm
Canabuc Says
“I hope we sign a good punter!”
Already have one.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:21 pm
Its a bowers sighting!!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:21 pm
Bowers! Bowers, dumbasses! Lol
August 8th, 2014 at 8:21 pm
What do you mean the interior line. You fail to notice that Dotson had a hold that killed a drive and Collins gave up an easy sack. They all suck. Don’t limit your hate to the guards.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:21 pm
Let’s put some attitude on the oline.
Richie F@cking incognito
August 8th, 2014 at 8:22 pm
Lol @ the incognito posts. Yep, our black head coach is getting ready to jump at the chance to sign the admitted racist.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:22 pm
Wow. Bowers came to play.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:22 pm
Glennon comin in to put points on the board. LETS GO BUCS!!!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:23 pm
Well at least our D can move the ball towards the opponents goal
August 8th, 2014 at 8:23 pm
Hopefully the backup oline plays better against the backup defense. 😉
We need one of our QBs healthy.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:23 pm
MG8 to save the game!!!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:24 pm
DQ looks good so far
August 8th, 2014 at 8:24 pm
Wow very terrible football from both offenses. We both suck balls on offense
August 8th, 2014 at 8:24 pm
who needs a punter? Can’t even get to 4th down.
Preseason. Don’t panic…
August 8th, 2014 at 8:24 pm
Koenen can’t kick it long anymore and looks like we will need a punter with a cannon leg
August 8th, 2014 at 8:25 pm
threat of mg8 is already opening running lanes
August 8th, 2014 at 8:25 pm
Only thing I wanna hear outta that f+*>ing locker room is
” we’ve fired our O-line coach, and promise to fix this lousy line before the season starts!”
” you fans were right”
August 8th, 2014 at 8:26 pm
The INT was at least 50% the fault of the lack of pass protection. Ask Ronde Barber. He keeps telling u that. It looked like a failed blitz pick up to me.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:26 pm
Damn ASJ with a drop. Damnit COME ON!!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:26 pm
Fr said: Lovie what have you gotten yourself into…
Are you kidding me people. It’s the 2nd quarter of the year. Yes the oline looks bad. Every team has a hole. That’s our. It’s a big one yes but it’ll be addressed.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:26 pm
That was a good pass by Glennon. Better than I thought him capable of.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:26 pm
Straight black players love Richie incognito.
If lovie wants to keep his job he will put the best team on the field
August 8th, 2014 at 8:26 pm
Good thing Rainey excels in those outside bounces, since there will be zero holes for runners.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:26 pm
I didn’t think the offense could look worse than last year. God help us. Missing Penn, Zuttah right about now.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:26 pm
Rainey better than I thought. Continues to make something out of nothing.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:27 pm
Capt.Tim, Back from Davie Jobes’s locker
Keep in mind the entire oline was released and replaced.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:27 pm
The Cannon!!!!!!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:28 pm
There goes Tim Wright and his hands. Good man.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:28 pm
Man! If only we had a 7’5″ Wr!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:29 pm
My bad pic has to be nbc. Some camera angles are perfect, others are very choppy. Leaving my settings alone!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:29 pm
Wow Glennon with a chance to create controversy promptly overthrows his receiver.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:29 pm
Thank you Connor, nice to have you back.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:29 pm
we’re screwed with this O line! WTF! All the money wasted on toys for an offense that will never see because of no protection or holes being opened. They best pick up some camp cuts for the OL. This will never do! We will be lucky to win 3 games!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:30 pm
Everybody see that slant play? Ya I’m sure he’s out future QB. Sorry Glennon mob
August 8th, 2014 at 8:30 pm
OHHHHHH LINE OHHH MY…. 6-10
August 8th, 2014 at 8:30 pm
BuccanerBonzi- I remember, Brother.
But we stopped the “rebuild” waaay before it was done.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:30 pm
Not going to get upset after one game with the offense, however if they look like this on 3rd preseason game, I’ll be nervous.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:31 pm
Lol imminent overreactions preseason week 1.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:31 pm
Lovie Smith declares starting QB 5 months before the season starts.
Glennon points on first drive.
Stay classy lovie.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:32 pm
There is just no way to evaluate any skill position with this line. If I’m not mistaken, most of the starters are still on the field getting bullied by JAX second string.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:32 pm
I like our unis better than Jacksonville’s.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:32 pm
Andddddddddd Glennon looks like s—– as well and just like last year here we go with field goals.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:33 pm
Dont forget to the fact that this is an all new oline so it will tale many games before they all gel. Believe it or not but the jags defense is probably one of the top 5 in the league. So give ot some time but we do need to still look for other lineman out there.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:33 pm
Calm down people, we will be ok. This is evaluation time
August 8th, 2014 at 8:34 pm
relax all! first preseason game with an entire new team and staff and ugly jerseys. 4 wins last season. take it easy with these preseason games be happy with the defense and the offensive is a work in progress; all as expected. Go bucs
August 8th, 2014 at 8:35 pm
This o-line needs a bully. Acquire him.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:36 pm
Yep- great new Unis.
And Bowers looks like McCoy- constantly in the backfield
August 8th, 2014 at 8:36 pm
Yes. It’s only two quarters into the first preseason game. No reason to panic.
But if we DID have a horrible offensive line that would cripple the offense for the entire season, what would it look like during the first two quarters of the first preseason game…?
August 8th, 2014 at 8:37 pm
Defense looked good but that O was HORRIBLE. Good grief, seriously?
August 8th, 2014 at 8:37 pm
They better start winning this season, because merchandise sales will certainly be dropping…
August 8th, 2014 at 8:37 pm
Bortles looks like only NFL qb on field
August 8th, 2014 at 8:38 pm
Yep- great new Unis.
And Bowers looks like McCoy- constantly in the backfield
Other than that . .
All the offensive weapons in the world won’t help you, if your QB doesn’t have time to throw, and your RB has no room to run-
It’s gonna be a long, losing season
August 8th, 2014 at 8:38 pm
“and with the #1 pick in the 2015 draft, the buccaneers pick _______”
August 8th, 2014 at 8:39 pm
Bowers looks sharp so far.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:40 pm
Hmmm. Bowers in coverage, with the deflection.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:41 pm
I still think they should have gone oline or QB in rounds 1 or 2. I like the Evans pick, but I think OL and QB needed developing first.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:41 pm
Geez guys at least Glennon’s first series equaled points…for the Bucs instead of the Jags. The Glennon disdain from some is amazing
August 8th, 2014 at 8:41 pm
I say 6 wins and no playoffs and ticket prices make the owners sell the team
August 8th, 2014 at 8:41 pm
Ryan Mallett welcome to tampa
August 8th, 2014 at 8:42 pm
Wow. Glennon really did take forever that time.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:42 pm
Glad this is only preseason, have seen bad high school games better executed than this. Both teams showing why they were 4-12 last year. Some bright spots but overall, OMG!!!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:43 pm
Mallett sucks.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:44 pm
Typical Glennon. One run, two throws to the flats, and a pubt
August 8th, 2014 at 8:44 pm
needed to draft a qb and keep zuttah….
August 8th, 2014 at 8:44 pm
@ dusty
Dude you may want to check out the horrible turd of a game Mallet had. That guy sucks!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:45 pm
yeah if the oline is this bad the rest of the season, it would not matter if the rest of the team were pro bowlers. We would be in trouble. There is time to fix it; possibly with an outside addition.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:45 pm
Bowers doesn’t look like a schlub, he looks motivated and is making an impact.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:45 pm
every qb except bortles sucks on the field tonite so mallett is an upgrade
August 8th, 2014 at 8:46 pm
McNown v. Glennon?
You could put Tom Brady and Walter Payton behind this O-line and still go 3-13.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:46 pm
Oh good, at least I was wrong about Josh McCown, the oline, our FAs, pretty much everything! Everyone else enjoying the sh*t show? I know me and McCowns mama sure are!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:46 pm
Right after the Redskins beat a Tom Brady and Gronk-less Pats team in the first preseason game last night, their fans were chanting “Super Bowl”…… Judging by the reactions of some of you on here, I feel like you’d be the type to join in on a similar chant after the first preseason game
August 8th, 2014 at 8:46 pm
and get incognito
August 8th, 2014 at 8:46 pm
Take mallatt and incognito
August 8th, 2014 at 8:47 pm
Nice hit!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:47 pm
Bortles looks like a QB.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:47 pm
@dallasbuc
I am, but they are who I thought they were!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:49 pm
4 years With the Patriots studying under Brady. You bet mallett Is going to bring great
August 8th, 2014 at 8:49 pm
Personally, I think Glennon looks worse than McCown did. Especially considering he is playing with and against second stringers.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:50 pm
Major Wright is earning a spot
August 8th, 2014 at 8:51 pm
Joe, what have you been doing at training camp? Glennon looks head and shoulders better than Old Man mcCown!!
Do you need to go to Dr.Updegraff, tell them i referred you so i get my $5
August 8th, 2014 at 8:51 pm
Okay…Glennon actually looks most better in 2 minute
August 8th, 2014 at 8:51 pm
Atta boy Mike!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:52 pm
The Cannon misfires.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:53 pm
@Capt.Tim
Your on point tonite brotha…keep it up
August 8th, 2014 at 8:53 pm
Glennon is moving the ball.
Now all Lovie has to do is get every regular season opponent to play their 2nd & 3rd string defenders and we may hit .500!
August 8th, 2014 at 8:53 pm
Also saw someone say Glennon comes on and and we score. Ya cuz of a bad long snapper
August 8th, 2014 at 8:53 pm
Glennon has had 2 1st downs dropped now. Sheesh. Sloppy damn football
August 8th, 2014 at 8:54 pm
How can people say we need a better punter. That’s twice inside the 5.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:54 pm
Wondering if the Kafka Mob will be heard from tonight?
August 8th, 2014 at 8:56 pm
D looks real good.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:56 pm
MacClown has been a career back up.
Lets start the Fire lovie clock now.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:56 pm
Those of you telling us to stop panicking need to back off. There is good reason to panic. “The o-line needs time to gel.” STFU. When sh!t gels with sh!t, it’s still sh!t.
To the dude who said the Jags have a top 5 defense, bite me. They start Roy Miller and Geno Hayes. Nuff said.
August 8th, 2014 at 8:57 pm
GO KAFKA FOR THE COVER
August 8th, 2014 at 8:58 pm
Patrick, watch the game. The o-line are being individually beaten by a four man front. The players suck.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:00 pm
Every single o-lineman has been bullied by two or three strings worth of Jags d-linemen. As a unit the suck. Individually they suck.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:00 pm
4-12 the o line is aweful and we have no qb
August 8th, 2014 at 9:00 pm
I remember a couple years ago when bad guard play basically sunk the Cowboys offense. OG is not a premium position, but you need guys who can be technically sound enough to keep average DTs at bay. Warren Sapp used to talk about the fastest way to the QB, and it’s definitely through the A-gaps. This OL has a long way to go, and the first thing to do is get Cousins on the first plane out of Tampa.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:01 pm
Buc_realist- I don’t remember you saying that our beloved bucs starters would suck complete A hole as an identity!
August 8th, 2014 at 9:03 pm
Fire Coach and GM for passing on Johnny Football at 7
August 8th, 2014 at 9:03 pm
Glazers are secretly over at Hooters trying to beg Gruden to show Bucs offense some creative plays after he finishes showing NFL playbook to the Hooters girls.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:03 pm
Glennon is playing the second string d first off, second they scored a 44 yard field goal not a touch down. Then again this team has been practicing for a little over a week in training camp new coach and a lot of new players. It takes time people. Love the comments about fire o line coach and what does he have to work with at guard garbage and rookies. If you thought this team was going to be playoff ready by first preseason your drinking the kool aid for sure.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:06 pm
Alright, call up Incognito. Bring on the bully!
August 8th, 2014 at 9:07 pm
McCown will be fine as soon as they put in the 1/2 step drops.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:09 pm
The rookie guard will be starting next game. Somebody make phone calls for the other guard spot
August 8th, 2014 at 9:11 pm
I would be happy with steady improvement throughout the season and ending up 8-8 during Lovie’s first year.
Like the way the defense is looking for the first half of a preseason game. Would love to see the Bucs D head towards the 1999 defense this season.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:11 pm
Well said goodolebucsfan
August 8th, 2014 at 9:13 pm
Well at least the players had a good time, and fun at training camp since coach schiano was gone!
August 8th, 2014 at 9:15 pm
No need to rush to judgement in a preseason game. Just look at the great olines Lovie has assembled in the past. Oh wait…
August 8th, 2014 at 9:16 pm
@TBR
You sure Schiano is gone? it’s not looking like it.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:17 pm
OL IS FRUIT LOOP DINGUS….this is a decent defense and then the shaun king qbing
August 8th, 2014 at 9:18 pm
Think it’s really nice the team is honoring Mike Glennon with the MG patch this season.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:19 pm
Incognito is gonna start next week
August 8th, 2014 at 9:20 pm
The Cannon better use less cannon cause his over throwing.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:21 pm
he’s
August 8th, 2014 at 9:21 pm
New unis look awesome.
Cousins & Meredith are garbage.
We better sign a guard or 2 or my SB prediction is going to look stupid, instead of just highly optimistic.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:22 pm
Should of took Johnny Football, at least he could ran for his life and made a few plays.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:24 pm
Simms looking good to bad all the penalties
August 8th, 2014 at 9:24 pm
sims looks good and so does that pool at jville stadium
August 8th, 2014 at 9:25 pm
Total off sides.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:25 pm
Can’t watch this anymore. Peace out.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:26 pm
No. Ronde was right – he had the snap count.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:27 pm
Did Mike Sullivan leave his playbook behind cause this crap looks EXACTLY the same as last year!!???? Also how does Bortles come in and COMPLETE passes down the field
August 8th, 2014 at 9:28 pm
Letting Zuttah go go was dumb. Why is it teams like the colts and patriots w mediocre talent on the OL seem to overachieve because it comes down to reading defenses and checking off receivers and mainly coaching. We don’t know how to get the best out of those players because of inept coaching.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:29 pm
Well, the good news is the O-line will never have to worry about getting tested for performance-enhancing drugs.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:30 pm
BOWERS!
August 8th, 2014 at 9:31 pm
Phred good one lmfao
August 8th, 2014 at 9:31 pm
“and then the shaun king qbing”
ummmmmmmmmm, shaun king was mobile and had a comeback or 2.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:32 pm
Bortles is the real deal…Jags finally have a quality QB. I wonder when the Bucs will get a real QB?
August 8th, 2014 at 9:32 pm
On a brighter note the Panthers are losing to the Bills, so if the Bucs can’t play well maybe they can suck less than the other NFC South teams? Ugly wins are still wins
August 8th, 2014 at 9:33 pm
@oldskool
2015 with the first pick…
August 8th, 2014 at 9:33 pm
Phred with the WIN, sad on the Oline but so true so far
August 8th, 2014 at 9:34 pm
where is the defense now?
August 8th, 2014 at 9:35 pm
Heat by Da’quan- who was lined up at LDE
August 8th, 2014 at 9:36 pm
I can’t watch the game either, but from reading the comments, it pretty much seems unanimous….our o-line is horrendous. Popular opinion seems to be that Ritchie Incognito is our Obi-wan-kinobe…..scary!!!
August 8th, 2014 at 9:37 pm
Man, that Pool is a great Idea! Tampa stadium needs 3 or 4 of those!
August 8th, 2014 at 9:37 pm
Mediocrity speaks volumes with blown speakers
August 8th, 2014 at 9:41 pm
LuvmyBucs- thank you, Brother!
Team will be fine- if they fix that damn hole at guard!
Lovie will get it together he’s a great coach,
But he always sucked at building an O-line
Gotta fix that
August 8th, 2014 at 9:42 pm
I’m most concerned about the total lack of running game.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:42 pm
that is why MG8 will be the starter later this year.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:42 pm
I don’t know who the OL coach is but this is piss poor even for pre season.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:43 pm
So all the players were talking about ending the season in Arizona in interviews and now we see this team come out against the jags. I pray were all overreacting and Lovie is holding something back.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:44 pm
Need a new O- line coach, also.
Early prediction! Defensive player of the year will come down to Gerald McCoy or Darrelle Revis!
August 8th, 2014 at 9:44 pm
Ghost- look at your coach and rookie GM. They gave him poop for play-doh
August 8th, 2014 at 9:44 pm
Well the air totally left my balloon. Just terrible
August 8th, 2014 at 9:44 pm
Because Bortles is the best QB in the stadium.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:44 pm
Imagine that, Oneil Cousins played like he is who we were ALL TOLD he was…Looks like Lovie HASN’T learned his lesson about starting 3rd rate or worse by the looks of it O-linemen…My hopes for the season just took a BIG hit tonight…if this keeps up Glennon will be starting the regular season because Mccown will be on IR. PERIOD.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:44 pm
if glennon starts it’s because we are tanking for #1 pick.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:44 pm
Blowing up the O-line and starting over with unproven players is looking like a bad idea so far. It’s only the first preseason game but the line has to come together. The offense will only go as far as the line will take them.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:44 pm
“Lovie will get it together he’s a great coach”
Good hell yeah, but great? We’ll have to wait and see on that one
August 8th, 2014 at 9:45 pm
Somewhere tonight Greg Schiano and Josh Freeman have put their differences aside and are laughing their asses off right now!
August 8th, 2014 at 9:46 pm
Anyone who calls the Benn’d around, from this point foward-
Shall be summarily executed
Love Mike James!
August 8th, 2014 at 9:47 pm
Lightning…I like the way you think
August 8th, 2014 at 9:49 pm
The uniforms look like crap. The old ones were great and shouldn’t have been messed with.
Our guards are really terrible. The expectations for this season just dropped big time.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:49 pm
Pretty bad, when all the posters at JoeBuc are right about the O-line, and everyone in OneBuc is Wrong!!
See, I told ya we was all geniuses!
August 8th, 2014 at 9:49 pm
It’s not all bad. We can all see the O-line sucks more than a cheerleader on prom night, but the skills players look adequate and the defense looks like it has the ingredients for creating something top-tier.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:51 pm
Glennon is your starting QB week 1. WOOOOO!
August 8th, 2014 at 9:52 pm
Could be some medical problem with the O-line — they need to see the team gynecologist.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:52 pm
The oline has sucked all night but did anyone else notice Doug Martin has been the least effective running back? Hope that’s not a trend.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:53 pm
Glennon haters grumbling under their breathe that that TD was against 3rd stringers
August 8th, 2014 at 9:53 pm
Dreambig- did you also notice that his oline was also quite least effective?
August 8th, 2014 at 9:54 pm
Long live the Mike Glennon Mob
August 8th, 2014 at 9:54 pm
Martin was a one hit wonder
August 8th, 2014 at 9:56 pm
there was a reason why Jags selected 3rd overall in the draft and the bucs selected 7th overall.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:57 pm
Bowers will be cut
August 8th, 2014 at 9:57 pm
I think the McCown experiment has hugely improved Glennon’s (anyone’s) candidacy for starting QB! We are screwed! I’m so glad Lovie and our rookie ass GM were so confident in that horsesht QB! Why provide a competitive environment or hope (draft) for the future?
August 8th, 2014 at 9:58 pm
Interesting to see how the McCown/Glennon battle plays out if McCown drops a big ole’ deuce on the field again next week. Definitely looked more like Kevin Kolb 2.0 then Rich Gannon 2.0 this game
August 8th, 2014 at 9:58 pm
Martin didn’t have any room to run, but neither did Rainey. Rainey got creative whereas Martin just got gobbled up by everybody the guards decided not to block.
August 8th, 2014 at 9:59 pm
Preseason. Very hard to learn anything. Glennon looks good against backups; McCown looks awful against starters. The truth is somewhere in the middle. And right now it looks like its in the middle of two big defensive lineman crusing our qb.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:00 pm
Refs need preseason too.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:02 pm
Demps is really fast.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:02 pm
Martin is a stud. Don’t mistake terrible oline play that was created by “L&L” as bad play be Martin. Makes you look kinda…unknowing in an embarrassing sorta way!
August 8th, 2014 at 10:03 pm
There should be an Incognito bandwagon.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:03 pm
thank goodness that Glennon came to play, or the bucs would have had given away 5 turnovers and a goose egg for a score!
August 8th, 2014 at 10:03 pm
About Glennon’s TD pass, it looked to me like his third option. He looked at Wright but probably felt like he couldn’t get the ball there. Then flashed left and came back to the middle. Maybe his second read and the flash left was a look-off.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:05 pm
if glennon starts it’s because we are tanking for #1 pick.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:07 pm
The numbers on the uniforms are obscene, look rinky dink and are a definite step down.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:08 pm
lurker- we could just be hoping to make up for a horrible decision
August 8th, 2014 at 10:08 pm
martin was a stud, and even that is/was debatable!
August 8th, 2014 at 10:08 pm
Clearly you need batterys for your stud finder. Martin sucked last year before he got hurt. He should of been traded at the draft. But time will tell who is right. Martin will not be starting after 3-4 games,
August 8th, 2014 at 10:08 pm
If Glennon starts it’s because Lovie wants to get a few wins in the present season instead of just future ones 🙂
August 8th, 2014 at 10:10 pm
I’ve turned down the sound. Darkened the room and now watching the game to “Dark Side of the Moon.” It seems to help. Well, that and the acid.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:11 pm
lovie’s bears sucked against teams with winning records…
August 8th, 2014 at 10:12 pm
that explains a lot about your lame jokes, phred
August 8th, 2014 at 10:13 pm
In the words of Dennis Greene (well Ok a paraphrased version) for at least the game tonight McCown is who we thought he was. Now with that said if Lovie is going to be stubborn and roll with McCown regardless then let’s all pray that he transforms into the good Josh in Chicago fast!
August 8th, 2014 at 10:14 pm
Lurker – not a fan?
I’ll try harder.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:15 pm
we need a poll after each preseason game, joe.
the buccaneers’ 2014 season will be
a) greater than
b) less than
c) equal to
last season.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:16 pm
ok, phred, let’s say 1 for 2
August 8th, 2014 at 10:16 pm
@Danimal
That has to be the most ignorant comment I have ever read. Martin has never “sucked!” He will be back to his old self this year as long as the line can get fixed.
Do you see the them here? O-line sucked the last 2 years and martin struggled! Hmmmm I wonder why.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:17 pm
If Morris or Schiano put this sht on the field everyone would be screaming capitol punishment. Preseason is one thing but no one wants to put this in our leadership. Effed up
August 8th, 2014 at 10:18 pm
I’d say that’s a fair assessment. Some work, some don’t.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:18 pm
Would be overreacting to give up hope on this season after one preseason game, but I said from the get go I expected around 6 or 7 wins this year and a playoff team the following year.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:18 pm
Rainey>martin and it’s not even close. James and simms are my choices at rb
August 8th, 2014 at 10:19 pm
@ panhandle
and yet other running backs did well with the same line.
mighty mouse is overrated!
August 8th, 2014 at 10:19 pm
“Sucking like a cheerleader on Prom night.”
Thank you Phred- nice trip back down Memory lane!
And agreed- O-line musta missed gynecologist appointment. They all played with that “not so fresh” feeling.
If- IF – they fix that steaming pile of an offensive line, I believe everything else will be good.
Big If. Lovie had bad O- lines every year in Chicago.
Hope we are just waiting for second wave of free agency
August 8th, 2014 at 10:19 pm
ASJ looks like an nfl player
August 8th, 2014 at 10:21 pm
How much u wanna bet they will look and score just like this game all through the season.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:22 pm
FWIW Phred I found your Oline joke to be quite funny…but to be fair some here have called me an idiot for saying Schiano wasn’t nearly as bad as a lot of fans believe. So I guess take my approval of anything with a grain of salt 🙂
August 8th, 2014 at 10:22 pm
I agree Capt. Tim. If they can tighten up that O-line the Bucs would be in position to surprise a whole lot of folks.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:22 pm
“Rainey>martin and it’s not even close. James and simms are my choices at rb”
+1
August 8th, 2014 at 10:24 pm
if they fixed the oline i think we would be surprised! lovie hates offense…doesn’t want to be shown up, i guess.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:26 pm
People who doubt Doug Martin are on crack. He made the Pro Bowl as a rookie, deservedly so. Go back to the tape from 2013 and show me where the holes to run through were. The idea that he isn’t a stud is so ridiculous that I can’t believe I’m wasting time responding.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:30 pm
Toes on the Line — Schiano walked into a scene out of Lord of the Flies that Raheem left for him. Bucs needed discipline. The players just quit on him.
Same thing happened to OC Les Steckel in 2000. Set a Bucs record for points scored in a season but he was too much of a hard ass and the players revolted. He got fired.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:30 pm
Great job coach Schiano.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:30 pm
matt, just because you sit in the parking lot outside of gyms watching people exercise doesn’t mean you know how to identify a stud.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:31 pm
McCown is a sht show. Oline is a sht show. Somehow this could have been avoided if only we hired someone to field competitive players at the position!
August 8th, 2014 at 10:31 pm
I see HORRIBILITY by the OLINE
August 8th, 2014 at 10:33 pm
Buccaneer management take heed , see tonight what a franchise quarterback can do for your team. Learn from the Jaguars….Blake Bortles is a franchise quarterback. Think draft next year!!!
August 8th, 2014 at 10:33 pm
Horribility? Interesting
August 8th, 2014 at 10:34 pm
I don’t know that you can honestly evaluate any offensive skill position based on today’s performance. The o-line play was that bad.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:34 pm
Love those new unis
August 8th, 2014 at 10:40 pm
Here’s to hoping we make some great strides by next saturday.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:40 pm
I come from Galveston DallasBuc. Now you know what HORRIBILITY is
August 8th, 2014 at 10:41 pm
I agree with The Lord of the Flies analogy Phred but think the team was still playing hard (most anyway)…then again the team quit in 2011 under Morris was epic, so I have been somewhat desensitized to team quit after enduring that season. Hopefully Lovie gets the ship on course quickly so Tampa isn’t full of “Fire Lovie!” signs end of the year.
August 8th, 2014 at 10:44 pm
Buc fans, we just got our asses handed to us by the Jags, not the pats or the ravens or some other recently accomplished organization. The rams are holding down a high scoring competitive exhibition against the saints. Everyone acting like pro football players. We got our asses kicked by the jags
August 8th, 2014 at 10:45 pm
gatr- I think I do, especially living in the 713 these days
August 8th, 2014 at 10:48 pm
Last John McKay quote from a post-game press conference:
Reporter. “What do you think of your team’s execution tonight?”
Coach McKay. “I’m for it.”
August 8th, 2014 at 11:00 pm
Matt B just so u know, the sane people are here. U had the smartest comment of the night hands down. People are f-ing ridiculous. If it wasn’t for me really enjoying Joes site I wld never come to this forum. Idk why I wast em time. It’ll take a playoff win for you guys to shutup. Been a Bucs fan forever. I’ve endured just as long. Re-fuckin-lax
August 8th, 2014 at 11:01 pm
Matt B had the smartest comment all night. People doubting Doug Martin. Unbelievable. Yes the line is bad, the defense is good. Everything else offensively can’t come close to being judged. Obviously Oline and Franchise QB will be addressed this year.
August 9th, 2014 at 1:38 am

August 8th, 2014 at 8:17 pm
Don’t blame McCown. He’s actually moving around well. The problem i pass blocking. They are leaving nowhere to go.
BuccaneerBonzai Says:
August 8th, 2014 at 8:49 pm
Personally, I think Glennon looks worse than McCown did. Especially considering he is playing with and against second stringers.
———————————————————————————-
One this is for sure!!!!!! You are a true Glennon Hater. You will have to put up with a chafed ass when Glennon starts by game 4. You, bad dog and Joe will not be happy. Hope this does not show us that Lovey is going to be a disappointment like the last two.
August 9th, 2014 at 9:07 am
*First preseason game – Some of your comments are laughable.
*Mike Glennon should be the starting QB Week 1.
*Bucs missing 1 piece for the OL, Richie Incognito.
*Looking at this game for what it is, first preseason game, I see of positives.
*Take a drink out of your pathetic life cup and relax. Bucs 10-6 with Mike Cannon at QB.
