Backside Football
November 13th, 2018
Joe is loath to link to anything from that fraudulent website Deadspin.com. But this is a rare exception because it is so damn good.
Apparently, Deadspin — a poor man’s version of Saturday Night Live on the internet — has a feature called “@ss Team of the Week.” (Joe wouldn’t know because he cannot remember the last time he visited that site. For Joe, it’s both boring and predictable if not vapid.)
Anyway, this week’s “@ss Team of the Week” is your beloved Bucs because, well, they played like @ss against the Redskins, types Tom Ley.
Watching this game tape was like watching someone execute a perfect back handspring, and then step on a rake, and then try to shoot the rake, only to shoot themselves in the knee. And then they step on yet another rake. For three hours. …
The nearer the Bucs got to the end zone, the less they looked like the Chiefs and the more they started looking like the New York Jets fighting off a powerful hangover.
Of course, Ley had choice words for Bucs Bit-O-Honey-snacking, Ozark-watching coach Dirk Koetter.
Joe wouldn’t call Tampa Bay the “@ss Team of the Week.” But more and more seemingly by the day, the entire organization is morphing into just plain “@ss.”
And America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, would drag this team down even further, right?
Right?!

@ss team of the week!! I love it. How can you not love it if your a Buc fan? I’ve been watching @ss for the last twenty years(rounded up).
November 13th, 2018 at 4:15 pm
Fraudulent? It’s a joke sports news site, Joes.
November 13th, 2018 at 4:15 pm
Would be a Joe Bucs Fan article without mentioning Jameis Winston.
No other players were mentioned, but in comes Joe to save the day.
November 13th, 2018 at 4:16 pm
Please for the love of god stop with the bit of honey loving moniker. I read every story daily on here. But I found my self lately skipping every story you say that in. It just annoys the hell out of me for some reason. I am sure I am not the only one who thinks this. We get it he likes the candy and made a comment a week ago about it. Do you still tell your momma so fat jokes at the bar.
November 13th, 2018 at 4:30 pm
What kind of fans ‘love’ seeing this sort of negative story?
Answer: No real fan. Only trolls.
Nice to see who has become more important to feed here at old JBF.
November 13th, 2018 at 4:32 pm
Easy Pear shaped Petey…just dark comedy in dark times.
November 13th, 2018 at 4:45 pm
I have supported Jameis’ return and am surprised he isn’t starting against the Giants…..
The decision has been made and we really don’t know all of the factors involved.
I am starting to actually feel a bit sorry for Joe who is quite obviously invested in JW…..(America’s QB) and all. Although, it is an absurd title, Joe has the right to call him anything he wishes.
I guess, Fitz will have to be injured or fail miserably for us to see Jameis reinserted into the lineup.
November 13th, 2018 at 4:46 pm
Why Fraudulent – it’s a blog site that is meant to make fun of all of the DUMB shi that goes on with some occasional serious content, and they do a good job. The bucs are a complete tire fire, and are well deserving of “The a$$ team of the week” every damn week
November 13th, 2018 at 4:47 pm
Dirk’s job is to clean this team up and get them ready to go on a run.
This team will need a lot of confidence & momuntum & some killer instinct to make it happen. But Dirk has got his last shot and let’s just see how he does. He wants Fitz……..Bring it!!!
November 13th, 2018 at 4:48 pm
Then we fire him if another egg is lain, right? I friggen hope so.
November 13th, 2018 at 4:50 pm
Hmmmm I wonder if the continued redzone incompetence has anything to do with the scheme we’ve been running for 4 years that’s continually struggled in the redzone for 4 years.
November 13th, 2018 at 4:51 pm
This Joe has orange lips, hence his opinion of Deadspin.
November 13th, 2018 at 5:02 pm
Jameis would have had 500 yards of offense and negative 3 points.
We’re obviously best off sticking with the 36 year old who is 0-4 his last 4 starts and just threw 2 red zone turnovers with 3 total last week and no TDs. He is the future guys.
Just need to rebuild around Fitz. Medicinal technology is better. No reaosn he can’t play till he’s 50 and play at a high level and cut down the turnovers from his prior 15 seasons or whatever it is
November 13th, 2018 at 5:03 pm
Please don’t let dirk call the plays
November 13th, 2018 at 5:06 pm
“this is the best roster we’ve had in the time I’ve been here”
Proceeds to go 5-11. I knew Koetter wasn’t the guy when this happened.
There’s no question about it. The 2017 roster was objectively better than it’s 2016 counter part in every conceivable way, and yet the team played much, much worse.
The only way that happens is if their is a problem with the coaching staff. Some lunatics on here still defend Koetter and even Mike Smith to no end. These people are morons.
Make John DeFilppo the new HC, a coach from the Andy Reid tree who runs a modern NFL offense that takes advantages of Mismatches on an every down basis. Retain Jameis, matter of fact, extend him for 5 years to break the curse of having never signed a drafted QB to a 2nd contract. And hire the best Possible defensive Coordinator there is to be hired on the open Market, be it Jim Schwartz or Don Martindale when John Harbough is fired.

Watching the Bucs is like watching “Jurassic Park” every Sunday and cheering for the goat.
November 13th, 2018 at 5:44 pm
What Smells like, Walks like, and Talks like ARSE is Dork Koetter! The guy is a SCUM BAG! He is BLOWING UP OUR TEAM ON PURPOSE!!!
The sooner this sorry smelling FOOL gets the h@ll out of here the better!
Why in the world are the Glazers letting him do this is BEYOND US ALL!!!!
He wouldn’t get rid of Mike Smith whom he knew was DESTROYING US!
He is COMPLETELY destroying the value of our QB! “Trade Value or Keep”!
He REFUSED to bring in help for Winston which in turn HELPS US ALL!!!
AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Real Douche!
We need to hire a President of operations PRONTO and Double PRONTO so we can START TO HEAL! So we can get on the Fast Track to finding a REAL Head Coach! So that the FANS can have ANYTHING left to believe in OTHER THAN the GLAZERS letting this LOSER Continue to BLOW UP THE FAN BASE!
I was reading an article here or somewhere that “of course” the Glazers want to win…… DO THEY? DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THAT ANYMORE? It seems more like they want us to hate the Bucs and THEM. Maybe they DO HATE THIS FRANCHISE to the point of not fixing it but instead LOVE to make it a laughing stock! BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY IS!!! Maybe they hated their Father because they sure OPERATE like they hate this team!
And they continue to let this BUTT CLOWN SMELLY ARSE Continue to MAKE US ALL SICK OF HIM, THE GLAZERS, AND THE WHOLE BUCCANEER ORGANIZATION!
Not another DAMN PENNY will go towards the Buccaneers as long as this ARSE CLOWN is in the building CONTINUING TO FIND NEW WAYS TO LOSE IT ALL! Over 500 yards of offense and come away with 3 STINKY POINTS!
Has that even ever been done before in the History of the NFL?
ISN’T HIS CLAIM TO FAME BEING AN OFFENSIVE GUY? 3 STINKY POINTS? Can’t develop a QB to save his life much less his job and goes with a Broken Backup? 3 Stinking Points in 500 Yards! A back up QB that can only put up 3 Points?
Worse defense in ALL of the NFL’s ENTIRE History?
ARE YOU SHARTING ME? GET THAT SMELLY ARSE CLOWN OUT OF THIS TOWN NOW! THERE IS NO MORE NEED TO WAIT FOR HIM TO STINK THE PLACE UP ANOTHER SECOND!
NOT ANOTHER DAMN PENNY UNTIL HE IS GONE! SCUM BAG WEASEL!
Auditioning for his next gig huh. Yeah…
November 13th, 2018 at 5:53 pm
Give it up Joe with all the Winston crap
BOTTOM LINE is he has 15 TOs in 13 Quarters
Nuff Said.
Not saying to give up on him yet but the way you keep defending him is ignorant.
November 13th, 2018 at 5:55 pm
“I guess, Fitz will have to be injured or fail miserably for us to see Jameis reinserted into the lineup.”
This basically tells us alot of the way the organization actually feels about JW3
November 13th, 2018 at 6:00 pm
I wish Coach kotter would give Jameis another chance at leading the team, but what happens when Jameis falls back into his MO. You know the one where he is not football savvy in ball security, or not throwing it directly to the opponent hitting them in stride as the take off the other direction. Or not holding on to the the ball like it signed your paycheck. Because we would need to be sure that Jameis has outgrown that behavior. Any NFL Team, General Manager, Head coach who has not gotten that taken care of will find themselves at ropes & wits end. I am from Missouri the “show me state” so please yes, Jamise show us how you have overcame these major obstacles to your career. Until that time comes sit over here, hold the clipboard and pay attention so that you can learn.
No I am not for building the future around Fitzpatrick, but we have had 4 years of being saved by the messiah, and we are still in the NFC South cellar. So no I do not think being saved by the messiah has helped this franchise.
Top ten in INTs 3 out of 4 seasons played, you sure can’t score when you give the ball away to the other team.
Bring on the Giants!
Wins are all that matter. Not stats, plays, explosives, only Wins matter.
GO BUCS!
November 13th, 2018 at 6:02 pm
Its okay to write an article without mentioning the BACKUP QB. lol
November 13th, 2018 at 6:15 pm
Jeffbuc, you read my mind! Joe’s (well, one of them) tendency to add cutesy prefixes to members of the Bucs (AC/DC loving GM Jason Licht!) really diminishes the articles to me. It reads like a high school (well, middle school) newspaper conceit. Just unnecessary or at best, mildly amusing once. Once.. JW’s moniker has been referenced ad infinitum but as Joe has said repeatedly, if he stopped doing it “it just wouldn’t be Joe”. Groan. No, it would be a more mature Joe. Joe will maintain that it’s his schitick. Certainly it’s his website so Middle School Lovin’ Silly Moniker Droppin’ Joe will do whatever he damn well pleases. Unfortunately.
November 13th, 2018 at 6:24 pm
@SB
The only thing that tells me about is Koetters already proven ineptitude.
November 13th, 2018 at 6:34 pm
Now Inspired: Tell us how you really feel.
November 13th, 2018 at 7:18 pm
Vapid- I like 👍🏽
November 13th, 2018 at 7:30 pm
Rebuild around Fitz…. LOL hahahahahahaha deadspin can now update the @ss of the week
November 13th, 2018 at 9:36 pm
Deadspin is like a less credible version of Meatspin.
November 14th, 2018 at 12:46 am
Look the only reason we care about the situation on Jameis has only to do with the Bucs future. I don’t give a hoot he went to FSU, and I don’t care right now he is not meeting some of your all’s godly expectations. One thing I know for sure is this franchise hinges on the decision of what we do with Jameis. I think Jameis is the best QB for this franchise and needs a coach who runs an offense that fits his game style. Many QBs in the NFL did not do well until they had a change of coaching. All of those saying he has had three coaches I say BS. It’s been all Koetter and he hasn’t wanted to work with Jameis since he has been here. Go look at how the two communicated during hard knocks. Read their body language during the game. Something is special about this kid and all’s I ask is that we as a fan base give him a second chance with another coach. Joe and I do not want to give up on a 24 year old kid who has already shown us some special talent. Think about how many of you at that age were just glad people didn’t judge you during that age. I care that he succeeds with the Bucs and I ask that all of you do the same. Let’s give it one more year and see how things go with a change of coach. Go Bucs!
November 14th, 2018 at 3:04 am
Run the fuc$ing ball!!!
The best offense Koetter ever ran was when Lovie FORCED him to run the ball!!
We used to have a nice I-formation running game.
Martin and Sims were the best duo in the league.
Now, we have Marshawn Lynch 2.0 breaking tackles and breaking skulls and we only give him the ball 10-15 games a game!
Run the freaking ball in the red zone!!
Or at least run some TE screens to OJ
or a WR screen to D-jax with OJ, Brate, and Mike evans blocking!
WTF!
Run the ball more!!
November 14th, 2018 at 3:52 am
This run the ball stuff is just flat out stupid…
2015 the Bucs average 21.4 points per game.
Even with the abortion that was Fitz on Sunday the Bucs still average 25.8 points per game.
I know the dopes think the most important thing in football is to win the turnover battle, but that’s not actually true, the most important thing in football is to win, and you win by scoring more points than the other team.
Pretty basic stuff, should have been covered pretty early on.
BTW the team under Jameis, in his starts, averages 29.6 points per game.
Fitz is 0-4 in his last four starts while he progressively gets worse in each game.
Meanwhile Winston is 2-2 in his last 4 starts, and would be 3-1 with a decent kicker.
This isn’t about winning and losing, this is about Dirk angry over the Glazers forcing him to fire his buddy Mike Smith and him burning down the building on his way out the door.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:50 am
Yes he would Joe
