Buccaneers 28, Chargers 21
December 4th, 2016
Fly your flags.
Hug your women and children, and anyone in reach.
Your Buccaneers are 7-5 and in first place — in December!
What a gutsy effort in San Diego. So many unexpected heroes.
Schiano man Keith Tandy with a massive fourth-quarter pick.
Freddie Martino, from the velvet-lined Vero Beach Ramada Inn, stepping up for injured Cecil Shorts and Adam Humphries, with huge catches.
Lavonte David rising from largely a season-long slumber — and an early-game slumber today — and coming up with an athletic pass breakup and a pick-6 on a Vernon Hargreaves pass breakup.
Cameron Brate led the team with six catches and 86 receiving yards and his sixth TD catch of the year.
And how about America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, putting the Bucs on his back again, rising up going 20-for-30 5hrough the air for 280 yards with a touchdown and a pick. The man is a franchise QB.
What a day! The Bucs have won six of their last eight!
Stick with Joe all evening long.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:31 pm
Woot woot!!! Go Bucs!! Bucs fans keep the faith!!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:31 pm
So proud!!! Another complimentary game… we’ve got something going here, y’all.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:31 pm
Rejoice for the Kingdom of Jameis is here.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:31 pm
Jamie’s Winston best qb we ever had
December 4th, 2016 at 7:31 pm
OMG ! WHAT A NAIL BITTER!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:31 pm

December 4th, 2016 at 7:31 pm

December 4th, 2016 at 7:33 pm
OMG!!!!! Are we really contenders??? I have no nails left and my nerves are bad, but what freaking game.
GO BUCS!!!!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:33 pm
Where is the “send Jameis to CFL” crowd at??
December 4th, 2016 at 7:34 pm
Strange times. Go Bucs. Smiles all around.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:34 pm
Scrappy performance…I love it! I could be wrong, but I believe the team controls its own destiny now?
December 4th, 2016 at 7:34 pm
Great Great Win! Huge… Lots a games feel bucs way too. Loving seeing ATL and NO loose.
Hey BigHog Koetter is 1 win away from equaling the dirt-bag Lovie Smith on Bucs all time win list… first year head coach far and away better than the previous useless glazer pr stunt.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:34 pm
Been waiting on this moment for a long time. It feels good.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:34 pm
Man, the what ifs with those Rams and Raiders games…
December 4th, 2016 at 7:35 pm
Come on Arizona!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:35 pm
Jameis’s accuracy lately…just wow!!!! He is straight nasty right now. 4 in a row boys. Let’s rock Ray Jay next week!!!!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:35 pm
What a gutty, hard fought victory! This team believes they can beat anone! I jhave st hope the guys who were injured, are not badly hurt!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:36 pm
I now believe that THEY believe. They just seem to manifest a different attitude since the mini bye. It’s like they’ve finally realized they are good enough to win if they cut out the stupidity.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:36 pm
Great win !!!!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:36 pm
Cheeeehhhhhuuuuu baby
December 4th, 2016 at 7:36 pm

Best bucs sunday in years!!!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:37 pm
We are going to win this division. The Bucs are hungry. This team is learning how to win. The whole team is learning how to win.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:37 pm
Let’s hope all our guys that were injured can make a speedy recovery
December 4th, 2016 at 7:37 pm
They did a great job keeping Evans in check. It was actually great to see Winston spread the ball around. Beautiful win
December 4th, 2016 at 7:38 pm
WHERE ALL THE HATERS AT NOW . JABOO IS THE REAL DEAL. THE BUCS WILL SNEAK IN TO THAT SECOND SPOT IN THE NFC !
December 4th, 2016 at 7:38 pm
I dont know how to feel right now……
December 4th, 2016 at 7:39 pm
I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t looking forward to the draft after week 5….holly $#!t we actually have a real shot at playing in January….I’m still in disbelief….1 down 4 more to go….kick A$$
GO BUCS! ! ! ! !
December 4th, 2016 at 7:39 pm
\Laughing at the tragic desperate trolls.
You love you some you, don’t you?
December 4th, 2016 at 7:39 pm
Well said Phillip. When was the last time the Bucs won 4 in a row? Anyone know?
December 4th, 2016 at 7:39 pm
Great Win!! Chargers are always toough.
The Falcons however, play the Rams and 49ers these next 2 weeks. For us that means we must beat the Saints and the Cowboys. The Cowboys are very beatable, we can do this.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:39 pm
I would take this team over the 10-6 led Freewee team every day and especially on SUNDAYS!!! #SeigeTheStreak
December 4th, 2016 at 7:40 pm
I have to admit…I didnt want Winston. #HeIsMyQB
December 4th, 2016 at 7:40 pm
Washington lost
December 4th, 2016 at 7:40 pm
Gotta give credit to the coaches. They made adjustments to stop Gordon out of the backfield and figured out ways to keep offense moving with #2 and #3 wr out plus #2 te plus #1 rb.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:40 pm
2012 D-Rome
December 4th, 2016 at 7:40 pm
We in 6th seed woot woot!!!!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:41 pm
Cameron Brate = Ron Hall
Adam Humphries = Karl “The Truth” Williams
Jameis Winston = Jameis Winston
December 4th, 2016 at 7:41 pm
Falcons lose
Saints lose
Giants lose
Redskins lose
BUCCANEERS WIN!!!
Best bucs sunday in years!!!
Absolutely!!!!
GO BUCS
December 4th, 2016 at 7:41 pm
Damn , 3 game sealing picks in 3 games , just wow , Bucs returning to playoffs after 9 years , just worried about cowboys games , rest we got
December 4th, 2016 at 7:41 pm
They believe that the only team that can beat them is them. They played the best teams in the league this year and beat themselves each time. The home game vs atl might have just oissed them off which is great.
God bless them all.
Jameis is the Truth and ALL HE DOES IS WIN WIN WIN NOMATTA WHAT!!!!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:42 pm
I thought victory Monday after the Seahawks win was great…lol this $#!t is unbelievable
December 4th, 2016 at 7:42 pm
They just went out and took care of business like a GOOD team would. Both sides of the ball…like a GOOD team would. The wins on this streak are REALLY GOOD, SOLID wins. Truly impressive stuff. Hats off to the coaching staff and team leadership for turning this season around!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:42 pm
Am I the only one in shock. I watched every game until this one due to a work schedule watched the game on break snuck into the break room cuz we have the ticket but just can’t believe it. 4 in a row. First place. Beating quality opponents at home and on the road. AND FOR ALL YOU MCCOY HATERS AND WINSTON DOUBTERS YOURE OUT OF YOUR MIND. THE BUCS ARE FOR REAL CONTENDERS AND IF YOU AINT DOWN WITH THAT-I GOT TWO WORDS FORRR YAAA-U ALREADY KNOW THE REST.
Don’t stop believing!!! WEVE TURNED IT AROUND. JAMEIS NEEDS MVP VOTES AND WE HAVE THE ABSOLUTEEEE COACH OF THE YEAR. NO DOUBT IN MY MIND
December 4th, 2016 at 7:42 pm
IF (IF!!) the season ended today we would be in!
We would play at Detroit I believe.
That is how far we have gone in the past few years!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:43 pm
Great win, started off badly but happy for the W!!!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:43 pm
For years I’ve stayed out of comments but no more. I’ve had enough of posters like Dallas, BucNut2, and some others. Yes, all of you that were saying that the game was over after the first drive, just take a plane home. You are like cockroaches that scuttle out when it is dark but hide away in the light. Where are you now??? Yes, I know the Bucs play badly at times – I’ve been a fan since 1979; Bucs are my first and only NFL team. I don’t understand why some of you gloat when players aren’t perfect – you must be miserable people. Anyway, so excited for my my Bucs! I can’t wait to be there a week from today, Section 122, leading the cheers now that I’m getting my voice back after Seattle.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:43 pm
The stars are a-lining
GO BUCS!!!!!!!!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:44 pm
I love this team! And I love how we’re coming together!
Finish strong, BUCS. Let’s make a NY Giants-type SB run.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:44 pm

December 4th, 2016 at 7:44 pm
I bet the word comes down Tuesday or possibly even Wednesday that we have been flexed up to Sunday night in (2) weeks against the Cowboys…
Plausible ?
December 4th, 2016 at 7:47 pm
How bout our NFL-record-setting QB….
The most Passing Yards before the age of 23 in NFL History.
And the only QB in NFL History who has been responsible for a TD in every game of his career.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:48 pm
I wonder what that clown Rodney Harrison has to say for himself now.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:48 pm
Great win!!!!! Unbelievable feeling to actually have a team!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:49 pm
Artemis
I sure hope not. I have to be at work early. HAHAHA but that’s a dilemma I am happy to deal with!
Go freaking Bucs! Boy this is terrific.
Hopefully the injured ones are okay and nothing is too substantial.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:50 pm
Good teams win tough ugly games on the road like that. It was a little bumpy ride in 1st half, but we were only down by 7 at the half. They got it going in the 2nd half and earned another W.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:50 pm
Tandy your a starter, McCoy you and Ayres are leaders on this team, I believe adjustments were made at half time because they ran it down our throats in the first half, we continue to play team ball, The Bucs got after it today, impressive win!!! 4 games to play with 2 games to win to show improvement over last year’s team, GO BUCS GO BUCS GO BUCS 1st PLACE BUCS!
December 4th, 2016 at 7:53 pm
He may not have a bunch of picks, but Vernon Hargreaves III is quietly becoming the best defender on this team. The Gators could have used his services yesterday.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:54 pm
GOOOOO BUCS!!!!!!!
Wooooooooooo!!!!!!! So many Bucs fans at the game today. Love it!

4 games to play with 2 games to win to show improvement over last year’s team,”
Strictly in your opinion. Last year’s team won 6 games. This team won 7 already. Even at the most baseline analytical model, more games won = improvement.
Every single local and national football expert already acknowledges improvement.
Honest to god, I feel sorry for you. You are so distracted by your anger about a coach that you can’t see the amazing transformation that is happening in front of your eyes.
Let that stale anger out of your heart. This place is for Bucs love, not, useless hate. Let it go.
December 4th, 2016 at 7:59 pm
FSU walk on CB Elliot played good in the slot today. Happy for him.
December 4th, 2016 at 8:01 pm
Wooooooowwwwww
What a game!!!!
1st place
#3 is simply amazing
And what about Cam Brate?
Fred Martino is really this good?
OMG, I’m so proud!!!
GO BUCS!!!
December 4th, 2016 at 8:04 pm
By the time AeroBucOne lands in Tampa it could be a perfect day in Tampa Bay! Anyone meeting the team bus at One Buc Place?
December 4th, 2016 at 8:05 pm
I’m on my way back to the hotel in San Diego and Mr. Miss kick was in front of me all day! I so wanted to tag him but resisted do to his mental state. I say we cut him now before he costs us a playoff berth.
December 4th, 2016 at 8:10 pm
That’s how you put away a team in a nail biter! Very well played on both sides of the ball! A true bend but don’t break defense. Koetter & Smith definitely got them boys pointed in the right direction. Now I drink the kool aid. Now the national pundits have to talk about the Bucs. It took a while but K & S finally got the nasty taste of the last two seasons out of our mouths!
December 4th, 2016 at 8:14 pm
I don’t think we are playoff ready, but we’re not embarrassing anymore.
Playoff ready means being able to win in the playoffs. They still have to convince me on that.
But props where props are earned. Both sides of the ball are clicking.
Anyone remember what happens at this point of the season last year? We lost the remaing four games. I said then that I believed losing Kwon to suspension was the reason. We have him this year, along with Vernon Hargreaves and Noah Spence. Saints are next. Winning this next game would truly tie us, because the Falcons are a game ahead in our division.
Technically, we’re still in second place. But we’re also the 6th seed.
December 4th, 2016 at 8:21 pm
@buc bonzai
What are you talking about????? You were off about last year!!!!! ( they just started playing mediocre teams)
and you are wrong now!!!!!!!
December 4th, 2016 at 8:35 pm
Great win, never seen back-ups step and play like these guys. everyone with the exception of Aquayo played great. Although he did make 2 FG’s, still agree he on hot seat. Otherwise no complaints. Just take it a game at a time. Go Buc’s
December 4th, 2016 at 8:57 pm
Great job Bucs. This team is fighting through adversity and finding ways to win now.
Hello relevance.
Hello playoff contention.
Hello Culture change.
Hello Franchise QB.
And just to stick it in DB’s and tmax’ face – ICE CREAM FOR EVERYONE!!!
Ya boy be ballin gentlemen –
December 5th, 2016 at 1:27 am
