Lovie defends.

Bucs fans have developed a love/hate relationship with receiver Mike Evans.

The former first-round pick can make exceptional catches and frustrating drops, which induces fans to toss beer bottles across the room. (more…)

An Xs and Os look

Who exactly beat the Bucs on Sunday in Indianapolis? (more…)

After listening to Lovie Smith talk on WDAE-AM 620 last night, it seems like the head coach reslishes the situation the Bucs are in right now — and he must have been sickened to his core by what happened after Thanksgiving last year. (more…)

Lovie seems fired up for December football.

Welcome to December. Joe isn’t a big fan of December. Even in Florida it means, often, wearing a jacket.

That’s not factoring in having to spend all sorts of money just because of the month on the calendar. (more…)

Air Lovie?

Though last night on his weekly radio show, Lovie Smith offered that the Bucs should have given Doug Martin the ball more than three times in the second half of Sunday’s loss to the Colts, earlier in the day at his weekly day-after presser, Lovie defended putting the ball in the air so much. (more…)

Lavonte David speaks

It might surprise some Tampa Bay fans that the Buccaneers, a 5-6 team coming off a 2-14 season, aren’t used to losing. (more…)

Regretful

A little light has been shed on the ridiculous mystery of Doug Martin getting just three handoffs in the final 19 1/2 minutes of yesterday’s loss to the Colts — after the 1,000-yard rusher exploded for 56 yards with the score tied at 6 in the second quarter. (more…)

Talks about his bad drop yesterday.

It was a frustrating game for Bucs fans yesterday. Tampa Bay played uneven in the first half yet still had a touchdown lead at halftime with the ball to start the second half. (more…)

Even Cowboys QB Tony Romo knows to pay homage when he is in the presence of America’s Quarterback.

Yesterday’s game was a washout in the second half.

Seemingly on the cusp of a victory to seize a 6-5 record, the Bucs let the Colts defense punch them in the mouth and take their lunch money. (more…)

Tough talk directed at rookie left tackle Donovan Smith

The revival of the Buccaneers’ offensive line is one interesting study.

Every dumpster-to-prominence story is. (more…)

Lofty words for Jameis.

What could be more important in the world of the Bucs than to keep offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter from bolting for a head coach position and abandoning America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston? (more…)

Lost in the Bucs’ anemic pass rush yesterday was frequent fan punching bag Gerald McCoy recording his seventh sack of the season — with five games to play. (more…)

NFL Network insider/reporter Ian Rapoport shared quite a nugget on Twitter yesterday morning. (more…)

It’s a little too easy to find Lovie Smith bashers, guys steadfast in their belief that Smith is just a placeholder for a head coach who can get the Bucs back to the promised land.

These types look at Lovie’s 7-20 record as Tampa Bay head coach and start turning red and screaming. (more…)

Not executing.

The Bucs had the ball to open the second half with a 12-6 lead and an opportunity to maybe put the Colts away laid before them. (more…)

So now the Bucs really have their backs to the wall. With five games left, the Bucs must win no less than three games to have a small chance at a Wild Card. It can still happen. (more…)

Not interested in opinions of sheep.

Cool footage on the Bucs bench caught by, well, Joe isn’t sure,

But Joe is going to guess WFLA-TV Channel 8. Joe is guessing this because WFLA sports reporter Paul Ryan Twittered this out last night of America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, getting all NSFW with who WFLA sports anchor Dan Lucas identified as practice squad dude Evan Spencer. (more…)

Shut down in second half.

On the Bucs’ final drive of the first half, a drive that ended with a 20-yard touchdown pass from America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, threw to Cameron Brate for a 12-6 lead. (more…)

The Bucs’ 21-year-old starting middle linebacker was in no mood to say a word about his looming four-game suspension this afternoon in Indianapolis. (more…)

Colts QB Matt Hasselbeck talks about the Bucs’ defense.

Interesting takes from a savvy veteran quarterback coming from Lucas Oil Stadium in chilly, gloomy Indianapolis.

From the words of Colts 40-year old, bald quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, discipline is way overrated. (more…)
