"Simple as that, Jay."

“Simple as that, Jay.”

Some football numbers lie, but you can’t argue points.

The Bucs allow a whopping 29.6 points per game. The Redskins (2-4) have scored just three points in the third quarter all season. And the Bucs haven’t scored a first-quarter touchdown. (more…)

Nothing gets a veteran player’s groin rumbling more than watching his young replacement get handed a game ball by the head coach. (more…)

KoetterA peek inside the inner walls of One Buc Palace will spark new life for the Dirk Koetter-Marcus Mariota conspiracy theorists, and further cement the revolution nearly completed by Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback. (more…)

Payback Time

Gerald McCoy had to pay off a wager he lost yesterday.

Gerald McCoy had to pay off a wager he lost yesterday.

Last week, Joe brought word that other than making six-figures (or more) a year, when it comes to college football, Bucs players are just like you and Joe.

They sit in bars, cheer on favorite teams, and loudly get into arguments about the best team in the land. (more…)

No “Funk” For Mike Evans

Bucs WR Mike Evans is busting his tail, said a respected teammate.

Mike Evans is busting his tail, said a respected teammate.

Joe already has written that the Mike Evans slump has some fans nervously murmuring the name “Michael Clayton.”

Fair or unfair, the memory of this one-year wonder is seared deeply into the consciousness of Bucs fans. (more…)

Status still unclear.

Status still unclear.

It’s no secret Joe thinks Johnthan Banks is very much underrated.

Last year, Banks’ four interceptions tied for second most in the NFL by a cornerback. (more…)

Bucs WR Vincent Jackson and the man he claims is the team's new leader.

Bucs WR Vincent Jackson and the man he claims is the team’s new leader.

Joe thinks chatter about “leaders” in NFL locker rooms is so Harry High School it isn’t even funny. We’re talking pros, here.

In particular, folks wax about who the leaders of the Bucs were last year. Really? Leader(s) of a 2-14 team? What, is this some sort of Don Rickles’ one-liner? (more…)

Mankins Practices; Leery Of Pamphile?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2015
Perhaps Logan Mankins is leery about being down wind from Kevin Pamphile

Perhaps Logan Mankins is leery about being down wind from Kevin Pamphile

Outside of Logan Mankins’ believing in the power of barbecue, Joe can say the guy is a warrior.

Since being drafted in 2005 by the Patriots, Mankins has started 150 games and has missed little time. (more…)

Film study suggests the Redskins, led by Brother of Chucky, cannot win games through the air.

Film study suggests the Redskins, led by Brother of Chucky, cannot win games through the air.

There is an old football axiom nearly as old as the game itself: Stop the run and you put yourself in position to win. (more…)

After getting walloped by the Browns and their 3-4 defense during the preseason, the Bucs opened the regular season against three consecutive 3-4 defenses.

The offense sputtered in two of those games. (more…)

Why It Is Kirk Cousins

Thursday, October 22nd, 2015
Don't expect the Redskins to bench QB Kirk Cousins.

Don’t expect the Redskins to bench QB Kirk Cousins.

As Joe explained yesterday to his good friend “The Big Dog,” Steve Duemig of WDAE-AM 620, during the wildly popular JoeBucsFan.com hour, if the Bucs don’t beat the rotten Redskins and interception-prone Kirk Cousins, there is something wrong. (more…)

gmc 0911Gerald McCoy has high standards when it comes to life in the NFL and the way players should approach their jobs.

Last night on the Buccaneers Radio Network, McCoy was asked what he loves most about being in the NFL. (more…)

Mike Evans Is “Fine”

Thursday, October 22nd, 2015
 Bucs WR Mike Evans will soon snap out of his funk.

Mike Evans will soon snap out of his funk.

Entering the season, the Bucs figured to have a dynamic offense.

With a rejuvenated Doug Martin, Vincent Jackson, “America’s Quarterback” barking signals, and budding star Mike Evans, what rookie QB wouldn’t succeed with those weapons once he figures out the NFL? (more…)

DIrk Koetter Not A Babysitter

Thursday, October 22nd, 2015
No time for egos.

No time for egos.

Look, the Bucs have all sorts of weapons. Yes, even weapons that have proven themselves in years past, like Vincent Jackson, Mike Evans, Doug Martin and a rookie quarterback chomping at the bit to prove himself in NFL circles. (more…)
