Buccaneers 28, Jaguars 11
December 1st, 2019
Our beloved Buccaneers are now 5-7 and have won three of their last four games, and for the first time this season they have a two-game winning streak.
Pop the champagne!
Pour the Big Storm!
Tampa Bay played a good half of football and, thankfully, it was enough after a sad second half.
A career day for receiver Brashad Perriman (5 catches, 87 yards) and more excellent play from Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, plus a rather efficient no-interception day from America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, was a wonderful complement to a special day for the Bucs defense.
Leonard Fournette didn’t hurt them and Nick Foles looked like a junior varsity QB playing in his first game. The Bucs’ pass rush had him rattled early before QB Gardner Minshew replaced him and gave Jacksonville a spark.
Shaq Barrett racked up two more sacks, a strip, four quarterback hits and probably another couple of million bucks this offseason.
Devin White added a scoop-and-score and an interception, and more confidence as he continues to surge.
The young Bucs secondary had rough moments, but Sean Murphy-Bunting had what could have been a game-saving interception of Gardner Minshew and overall the group certainly did enough. Joe’s hoping Jamel Dean’s shoulder injury isn’t serious.
Next Sunday the Bucs get a struggling Colts team (6-6) that got blown out at home today by the Titans.
Who’s ready for three in a row???

GO BUCS BABY!!!!

Boccaneer Player of the Game: LVD. This is what I was hoping for. That d@@@@@@ defense is blossoming. YEEE-HAWWWWWWW!!!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:22 pm
Ready to see what a new, rookie, qB would look like. Can’t pay franchise tag to Jameis. Not good enough.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:22 pm
5 seasons no progress THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY !!!!!!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:22 pm
WINSTON: 1 Turnover, 0 TDs. Only leads Offense to 17 points.
GRADE: D

Leftwich sucks
December 1st, 2019 at 4:23 pm
Good win.
Great job Defense!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:23 pm
Players deserve all the credit. Play calling was a notch above Pee Wee.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:23 pm
That’s 2 in a row!!!!!! Let’s go!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:23 pm
Nice team win. Got a little dicey in the 2nd half.
BL play calling seems to go down the gutter once the script runs out, but we got away with a nice win regardless.
Bonus points for watching all the trolls and haters have a complete meltdown watching the offense and defense both play well.
Suck it
December 1st, 2019 at 4:23 pm
Off to moderation again I see.
Sorry I guess if I was a troll who chit all over this team every Sunday my comments would actually be allowed.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:24 pm
The secret to success in the NFL is no secret. Don’t turn the ball over and create turnovers! Whoa what do you know Bucs win!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:24 pm
Winston is still hot garbage
overthrows
fumble
almost another 2 more fumbles
December 1st, 2019 at 4:24 pm
Well fk it, I’ll just go ahead and say to Bandit, Anthem, Jean and the rest of the morons who pretend to be fans:
SUCK IT!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:24 pm
If less points is the tradeoff for less turnovers …I’ll take it
December 1st, 2019 at 4:25 pm
Oh man now we’re calculating “almost fumbles”
LOLOLOLOL
Anthem you’re such a fkn loser
December 1st, 2019 at 4:25 pm
We will win the final 4 games in spite of BA still not calling QB scrambling/no huddle calls. 9-7 I will take it. 🙂
December 1st, 2019 at 4:25 pm
Bucs Win!
All that matters. Have a nice day suckas
December 1st, 2019 at 4:25 pm
Most of you just like whine and complain no matter what. You whine when they win a game where they led from beginning to end. You whine and cry when they lose.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:25 pm
People talk about blowing draft position in an effort to learn how to win games that will hopefully roll into the next season. This is the first year that I’ve bought into that. It looks like they are legitimately learning to play the game correctly.
Now if they would just stop taking the foot off the gas and stop playing the game not to lose, maybe we won’t have to have a clearly won game end up so close
December 1st, 2019 at 4:26 pm
Man..if we only had a QB like Ryan Fitzpatrick, we could beat the Eagles, and not just the Jags.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:26 pm
@BucsBandit mad because his Winston INT watch ended up with a flat donut.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:27 pm
can’t defend not scoring in the 2nd half
poor decision making as well
trying to be superman again…..stupid

LongSeason,
ALL QBs get hit and sacked. It’s the NFL. There are elite athletes on every Defensive Line in the NFL. They get to the QB.
But that gets worse if a QB holds the ball too long on avergae, which Winston definitely does.
How many times I see the line just let the pass rushers into the backfield and Winston has no time. Your words are meaningless. The best QBs in the league are not under siege the whole game. Winston handled the pass rush better today. He kept his eyes downfield. Only one turn over. I’ll take that.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:28 pm
Did we just quit on offense in the 2nd half……that’s not the first time this has happened……could not run the ball…..
December 1st, 2019 at 4:28 pm
A W is a W, and the defense is starting to round into shape here.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:28 pm
Orl… no team runs the No Huddle exclusively, because when your D is on the field the lions share of the game every game, you wear out and can’t win.
It isn’t just about what best suits Jameis, because if that is what it takes for Jameis to win, he can’t be a successful NFL QB.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:29 pm
Forgot to put BucsBandit before How Many… in my last post.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:29 pm
Anthem and bandit are troll trash fans with little no football knowledge. Jean thinks putting up 17 points with bo picks and winning by 2 scores isnt good enough.
This is one of the must toxic cesspool of fake fans I ever seen.
Go buc! Some of us actually root for u.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:29 pm
Figures someone bought my ticket to the Colts game next week…lol. Maybe I can find a cheap one.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:29 pm
Pitiful trolls on here. I’ll just take the win. The defense should be winning games. They’ve lost more than a few for us. They get turnovers and the offense scores points. That’s called complimentary football.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:29 pm
Offense still win this game no matter what you clowns say. 17 always trumps 11 points any day. The offense wasn’t spectacular but efficient in the 1st half. You can lie all you want about Jameis but the 2nd half let down was all on the play calling. I was all in going for it on 4th down. Put the nail in the coffin and play keep away. O line blocking messed that up
December 1st, 2019 at 4:30 pm
Yeah, bobby gets it. Team sport. Wins when played like a full team.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:31 pm
We need to pay a Rollie QB and spend the rest of the cap on D. Jameis isn’t worth the franchise tag. Shaq Barrett is.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:32 pm
Late season wins are meaningless. JW sucks and so does Leftwich. Don’t get me started on Licht.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:32 pm
Bucs win and there’s still complaints? Two almost fumbles? lol. Why are you people here?
December 1st, 2019 at 4:32 pm
Winston isn’t good enough for us to win a super bowl with.
Sorry. Just not. Look at the past five years. No damn playoffs once. He’s not the truth.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:33 pm
Cant wait to see winston balling next year!!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:33 pm
Good win! Suck it Jameis Bashers!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:33 pm
Wow two games in a row I’m getting lightheaded.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:33 pm
Not complaining about almost fumbles, complaining that the play isn’t good enough to win a super with. And he’s a first overall pick in year five. Either you’re a rock star or you’re not.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:35 pm
good win. Jw was careful with the ball, run game was decent. Defense was stout! Secondary was locked in. just a really good team win.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:35 pm
Ha ha ha stinkin panthers lost!!!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:35 pm
A win makes the whole week better and gives us something to look forward to. The defense looks a little better every game and it looks like
Winston is starting to limit the high risk plays. Now all I need is a couple of fantasy football victories to complete my already great Sunday.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:36 pm
Bucs win by 3 scores, stop btching! Go Bucs!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:37 pm
good win
December 1st, 2019 at 4:38 pm
Playoffs this year for Jameis!???!! Why not! It’s year five. Show me. We are 5-8. Woohoo
December 1st, 2019 at 4:38 pm
5-7
December 1st, 2019 at 4:39 pm
Just once, I’d like to see us put our foots on the throats of our opponents and keep scoring……3 points in the 2nd half on that team is pathetic.
But, I’ll certainly take the win.
Our young DBs are playing and Devin White is the real deal.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:39 pm
Steve K this o line isn’t good enough to win a bowl with. Shore that up Winston can, but I can’t say will win at this time. There is no other qb available in free agency that is any better than him.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:39 pm
Just so confused about Winston. We can’t win a super bowl w him. And we can’t pay him franchise tag money. He ain’t taking us into the playoffs in five years.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:39 pm
Do any of you stat geeks have a guess on average yds gained on between the tackles runs? You would think that we are super successful with running up the gut the way that Leftwich calls that run! There may have been a couple of big gainers ( 4-5 yd runs ) but I can’t recall them. Seems like what few holes the O line opens are on the right side. Maybe we should try to hammer that side for a while? I love the fact that we won another one but can we PLEASE get a little more innovative with our run game? I think it would help some. I hope that Dean is ok. Smith was not able to keep up with receivers today. That only spells trouble. We almost let the Jags back in today. GO BUCKS!!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:39 pm
Steve K is so furious because Jameis ruined his day
December 1st, 2019 at 4:40 pm
So much for congratulating the Bucs. Too many bad comments to argue with here.
I just won’t address this. I’ll say my piece on the next article.
GO BUCS!

Yes, I hope everyone see that this was a defense win AGAIN, and don’t get fooled.
JW has nothing to do with this win….. any average QB could have done the same or better. He MUST go!
BA = LovieS 2.0
December 1st, 2019 at 4:41 pm
David,
Good points. I just think a sixth year would bring another lost year with arguing about whether Jameis is any good or not. I’m not a believer. Haven’t seen the consistency and I don’t believe we will win a championship w that.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:41 pm
Sorry, but why should we be excited? They aren’t making the playoffs, surprised everyone watched with so many other good games on.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:42 pm
@steveK they are not getting a rookie bonehead! Love these people that think he had a lousy game.. what a joke! He got us I position to score be it pass or rush. Go find another team
December 1st, 2019 at 4:43 pm
Jameis almighty,
Not upset at all. Wearing my Jameis jersey and happy my team won!
I just think we are not going to the playoffs if we keep Jameis. He’s too inconsistent. I personally cringe at all the turnovers.
I just don’t see the wins and the ability to consistently lead your team to victory. Too streaky.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:43 pm
Tbbf that’s what going gir it on 4th illusions of kicking the field goal was all about. The non blocking on it messed everything up plus a receiver not going all out on 3rd that would have given us a 1st also. Turtle shell offense finished it off
December 1st, 2019 at 4:44 pm
Not a lousy game!
Just can’t pay $27 million of salary cap for a QB that is a turnover machine.
Godwin and Evans are elite.
What could a rookie or a vet QB on a cheap contract produce in the same circumstances?
December 1st, 2019 at 4:44 pm
Impressed by jameis play this game … no TDS no turnovers … just smart play… if he does this the last 4 games I’ll be one to give my vote for a return
December 1st, 2019 at 4:45 pm
Nice win !
See what happens when the Bucs keep the ball out of Jameis’s hands
December 1st, 2019 at 4:45 pm
Excuse me no INTs
December 1st, 2019 at 4:45 pm
Ham sandwich,
We can’t pay top
Dollar for the turnovers. We will never ever go
To the playoffs.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:47 pm
I didnt realize ALMOST was a stat in the nfl!!! No one talked about the 5 ints matt ryan almost threw last week. Some of you jokers just seem more happy to complain when we lose.
FYI Winston will be franchised. BA will go with the known and not trust playoffs to a rookie quarterback but will have one on the bench in a break glass in case of emergency situation. No interceptions but guess winston is the only one that overthrows receivers.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:48 pm
Jameis played game manager today, limited his turnovers and contributed to the win.
Good job Jameis.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:48 pm
@steve… most likely nothing. Give Winston a D like today and running game and we will be just find. Was around Sind 76’ and you must have forgotten or not been around for our 10 point games. Last few years most productive in Bucs history! Fact
December 1st, 2019 at 4:49 pm
We won’t go to the playoffs if we pay Jameis $27 million next year. Too inconsistent. I’m ready for someone new! Five years no playoffs and not a considerable improvement. What’s to think he’d suddenly correct the turnovers and get us to the playoffs in year six? Can’t waste another year. Deja voodoo would be bad news bears.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:50 pm
Don’t be fooled by a couple decent games from Jay Miss. We have 5 years of evidence of what he is. A leopard does not change its spots. With that being said, nice team win today against a crappy football team.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:50 pm
Ham,
I understand, but the fans need to know that defensive football is extinct in the NFL. Rules are made for offenses to thrive and with that I set my
Expectation, coupled with draft investment, for the QB to take us to the playoffs by now. Or at least turn it over much much less.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:53 pm
It’s a win at the end of the day folks. You keep trying to find something to blame Jameis for every week. I don’t care who the QB is but with that offensive line it’s going to always be no push in the running game and terrible pass protection. If that’s isn’t addressed I will truly question the organization by saying they just want to collect that TV revenue. Welp the worst they can go is 5-11 and some folks hoping that happens but let this sink in last week at 4-7 you had the 12 pick. That means it’s a lot of bad teams. They win 2 more games that means Jameis is 90% going to get franchised tag jus getting to 7 wins or better.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:53 pm
SteveK me too. I see it all as well but I also see the really good that he does. I don’t have rose colored glasses on but as long as he’s the qb on my team I want him to get better and my boys to win. He plays with all the heart and passion of any player I’ve ever seen. It’s not like he’s Trent Doofler! If you notice this year there were a number of games that Jameis played very well and had us in the position to win but the defense was as protective of that lead like wet toilet paper. Two games and the defense has played well AND protected the lead and we won. So there’s a glimmer of hope.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:55 pm
We have lost consistently because we have had the word D in NFL for years and no running game. Breeze when 7-9 with that logic. We are a top 5 offense. Sit back build D and RB and Enjoy!
December 1st, 2019 at 4:55 pm
Not blaming Jameis. Just not a belieber that playoffs would
Come in hear six if they have not in the first five. Not inspired by the play enough to commit franchise tag money to. You franchise tag Shaq Barrett.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:56 pm
There was a true gunslinger on the field today….
December 1st, 2019 at 4:57 pm
David,
You’re spot on. After the Seattle game I started to believe in a Jameis turnaround but it didn’t stick. And I’m just not confident it will all click-consistently- enough to make the playoffs.
And I agree there’s so much good. But the turnovers and the decision making and The inconsistency scare the hell out of me.
December 1st, 2019 at 4:59 pm
I think Jameis’ turnovers are a big factor
Towards the “worst defense in the nfl” shtick. No
Defense has to overcome more.
December 1st, 2019 at 5:00 pm
There have been a lot of qbs that took longer than 5 years to put it all together. Winston might have become Americas Turnover Machine but Steve Young sucked as a Buc but went on to become a Hall of Famer. Will never say Winston will be but he is a baller and wants to be great for this team so I want him to be as well.
December 1st, 2019 at 5:00 pm
Drew Locke putting on a show in his first NFL start
December 1st, 2019 at 5:03 pm
Yawn who cares about Locke??? Boring! Try again
December 1st, 2019 at 5:05 pm
funny how RB Gordon was the talk of the town in San Diego but now with a below average oline he’s non existent
December 1st, 2019 at 5:07 pm
Jameis made y’all bums mad. Lol!
December 1st, 2019 at 5:08 pm
I’m inclined to believe that if the front and back halves of our schedule were reversed, we’d be poised for a playoff push right now. This team is starting to gel and the past couple weeks seem to be a slightly delayed result of our coaching moves. The players are progressing and for a change we are able to impose our will against inferior opponents. At this pace of improvement we’ll be winniing and gaining some great momentum into year 2 of Bruce!
December 1st, 2019 at 5:12 pm
Exactly takes more than just a year of coaching for everyone to get on the same page. Next year will be great. That first half looked like the 02 bucs but with a offense!
December 1st, 2019 at 5:20 pm
Like Mort said, a win is a win. Too much of a replay of the Giants game though for my tastes … get a big lead in the 1st half, then play turtle the rest of the game. Fortunately our defense has grown quite a bit since that game & we held them to 11 points.
First half was a great example of COMPLIMENTARY FOOTBALL IMO. Not only did the Bucs’ defense force 3 turnovers, but it even scored on one of them & provided the offense a short field so they could score easier also. Nice to jump out to a 15 point lead so quickly.
Wouldn’t mind one bit bringing back that same starting defense next year, but augment it with better depth, such as adding a veteran CB & Safety. We could probably do just that for about $70-$80 mil (about $10-$20 mil above what we’re paying right now) and end up with a Top-10 or so defense.
December 1st, 2019 at 5:31 pm
It’s funny the Chiefs have one of the best Qbs in the league who doesn’t turn the ball over but still only 7-4 and will not see the AFC Championship game. I wonder why that is? He had a great run game and decent special teams but I can’t understand why still have a hard time winning against good teams. Can someone tell me what the problem is? Some so called experts up here say it’s all Jaymiss’ fault so don’t know what it is.

Kind of sad even after a win we have to listen to the mindnumbing commentery of bucs anthem and his lacky bucs bandit. As ive said for weeks jameis will be back next year. Dont like it, pick a different team. You know its a good week when we hear of the stupid overthrow argument. Saw lamar jackson overthrow 3 revievers today, he must be garbage. You guys need new material.

He wants to be positive but at this time he’s positive we won’t win with the ATM. This defense keeps getting better the whole offense will and he will see it. He’s not like these miserable trolls who never say anything good.

Real gangsta with the name Jean La Patitte
December 1st, 2019 at 7:01 pm
There are other players on this team not named Jameis that have contributed to 3 wins in the last 4. Face the facts, the Bucs are an improving team with Jameis leading the offense despite a terrible OLine. Carlton Davis is looking like a stand out DB. Go Bucs!
December 1st, 2019 at 7:25 pm
We’re in it till we’re not. GO BUCS!!
December 1st, 2019 at 7:59 pm
Man !!! Even when we win you same people complain about the quarterback. Now when we win it’s not because of Jamies he had nothing to do with the win but if we lose than it’s all his fault . Man want you guys do yourself a favor and us real fans a favor and just go root for another team. I don’t believe you guys are real bucs fan. I don’t care about when you guys talk I’ve been a fan for 30 or 40 years I think all of you Jamies haters are not real bucs fans. You guys say I just want the team to win and when we do win all you guys do is cry about Jamies. I got 1 question if they bring Jamies back are yall going to root for another team because it will be nice for the real fans????
December 2nd, 2019 at 12:29 am
But…. Minshew threw an interception
December 2nd, 2019 at 12:40 am
So my name obviously explains my personal thoughts but I’m an equal opportunity basher too so here is an honest and hopefully balanced look at America’s QB:
Pros
+ Big arm
+ Athletic and can make plays with legs although not a running QB
+ Tough – the guy has gotten beaten up behind our O-Line and keeps getting up and chucking it. He’s willing to take a big hit to try to make a play
+ By most accounts, one of the first guys to practice and last ones to leave
+ Leadership has improved immensely
+ Involved in community and gives time back
Cons
– CONSISTENCY – duh right? Maddeningly inconsistent game by game and sometimes play by play
– Takes too many chances – still tries to thread the needle on throws either he’s not capable of making or his receivers can’t get or both
– Game management – -plays the same way up 20 or down 10
There are more but you get the idea. Although I am a fan of the guy, I do NOT think we should shell out $15-20M per to keep him.
