Injured linebacker Devin White.

So buried by the explosive Bucs win today over the Packers in Lambeau Field was former No. 5 overall pick inside linebacker Devin White being deactivated for today’s game. There were conflicting reports as to why. (more…)

The pregame report from NFL Network said starting linebacker Devin White was not playing today and it was not injury related. (more…)

Bucs fans are not largely fans of head coach Todd Bowles.

That’s been the case for at least two months. Has that changed? (more…)

How bout those Bucs racking up 210 yards of total offense in the first half with 13 points at halftime!

What is this, 2021?

But it got better. A lot better! (more…)

Our beloved Buccaneers are December-ready.

It’s a beautiful thing. Joe is fired up! The Big Storm beer cans are in a celebratory mess on the floor of JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters. Joe gave the interns the green light to drink early in today’s glorious fourth quarter. (more…)

Comment below all game long below! Stay respectful, unless it involves referees or annoying Packers fans.

And stick with Joe all afternoon and evening for plenty on this critical game in Green Bay. Go Bucs!!

“Here’s how it works, Mr. Glazer.”

Whatever is going on as it relates to Devin White being a healthy scratch today in the biggest game of the season, Joe is confidence the Bucs won’t release White. (more…)

Healthy scratch?

The Bucs published their inactive list for today’s game against the Packers and inside linebacker Devin White will miss his third straight game with a bum foot.

He last played at Indianapolis Nov. 26, after which White explained how hard it is for him to be ready for a game. He talked about “treatment around the clock.”

However, Stacy Dales of NFL Network reports Devin White is inactive today not due to any injury.

A healthy scratch for the former No. 5 overall pick? Joe will let your mind wander about this but remember what JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman said with confidence on his podcast two weeks ago — that White has played his last snap for the Bucs.

Others inactive are safety Ryan Neal, corners Carlton Davis and Josh Hayes, tackle Brandon Walton and defensive lineman Will Gholston.

Feel free to wager (and Joe has) that the Buccaneers are going to pound the rock today on the non-frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.

There’s a ton of excitement about it at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Taking advantage of snaps.

Maybe practice doesn’t make perfect. At least, that’s the way it seems talking to Bucs corner Zyon McCollum. (more…)

Playing through pain.

When Tristan Wirfs had a high ankle sprain earlier in the year, he got a lot of sympathy from a guy who would know. (more…)

Elite in one category.

Joe is pretty confident folks are fed up with Joe not jumping on the running-game-is-good bandwagon. Well, there is something to be proud of when it comes to the Bucs run game. (more…)

Overrated as a runner?

Few football wonks Joe respects more than Aaron Schatz. And he has a very unpopular opinion — based on data — that won’t go over well at One Buc Palace. (more…)

The underwear Olympics that is the NFL Scouting Combine is a lot of fun but often a lot of smoke and mirrors. (more…)

Could the Bucs be the No. 6 or No. 7 seed in this year’s playoffs while another team wins the NFC South?

Absolutely! (more…)

Need more sacks.

Maybe if Todd Bowles played outside linebackers who can rush the passer instead of having them learn from the sidelines while watching nonproduction, this would be different. (more…)

Hot-seat twins Baker Mayfield and Todd Bowles are very much attached the hip. That was a consensus during a chat between former Bucs receiver Keyshawn Johnson, Hall of Fame pass catcher Michael Irvin and longtime Mayfield lover Skip Bayless. (more…)
