From the football field to the negotiation table, Chris Godwin’s sense of timing couldn’t be better.

The 28-year-old wide receiver has been Tampa Bay’s most consistent player through three weeks as he approaches potential free agency in March. If Godwin is allowed to hit the market, he figures to be the premier wideout available. (more…)

Out.

The Bucs updated their injury report for Sunday’s game with the Eagles. And it is terrible. (more…)

Ex-NFL backup QB has Baker Mayfield’s back.

Scoff at Chase Daniel if you want. But very few quarterbacks ever got over on the NFL like this guy did. (more…)

Some teams have a wrecking ball of a left or right tackle and run in his direction. (more…)

More regions of the country will get to enjoy the Bucs tomorrow on free TV. This happens when the FOX No. 1 broadcast crew, highlighted by former Tom Brady and Tampa-area native Erin Andrews, shows up to work a Bucs game. (more…)

Catalyst for a win?

Pretty smart analysis by Ben Solak of BSPN on how the Bucs can win tomorrow against the Eagles. (more…)

Eagles fans are not happy with one of their greats from early this century. (more…)

Tom Brady is back in town.

Joe hadn’t done anything on this because Joe wasn’t going to be overly interested until Tom Brady showed up at The Licht House on Sunday. (more…)

A couple of realities are swirling in the head of former NFL MVP quarterback Rich Gannon. (more…)

Bucs pass rush flopping like a fish.

With the exception of signing Tom Brady or drafting Tristan Wirfs, Joe maintains the greatest heist Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht pulled off came just after the combine in early 2018. (more…)

UPDATE: The headline says it all.

Todd Bowles told assembled media this afternoon at One Buc Palace that rookie receiver Jalen McMillan tweaked a hamstring, presumably in practice today. Bowles said it’s uncertain whether McMillan will play Sunday against the Eagles at The Licht House.

McMillan is listed as doubtful on the injury report issued late this afternoon.

When you’re a starting NFL quarterback, you never want to be in the same sentence as Will Levis. (more…)

UPDATED: A sunny Friday at One Buc Palace was made a little brighter. (more…)

Matching wits.

An interesting angle to study in Sunday’s game between the Bucs and the Eagles is the battle of coordinators. (more…)

So the Bucs scored 37 points on opening day. That total dropped to 20 in Week 2 and a paltry 7 against a sad Broncos team on Sunday. (more…)

“Greeny, they’re turning on us.”

Everywhere Joe turns the Bucs are being shunned by analysts, even guys who picked Tampa Bay to win the NFC South and more. (more…)

So Sunday’s Eagles-Bucs game was one of the price-gouge games on the Tampa Bay home schedule. (more…)

Baker Mayfield’s new favorite?

Once Sunday’s game against the Eagles is finished, Joe will cease referring to it being “early” in the season as some 23 percent of the season will have been played (hard to believe already, right?). (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Joe is willing to overlook some sloppy play in the first four weeks of the season. But after the fourth game, that’s 23 percent of the season played. (more…)

Soft Eagles defense awaits.

Joe will walk out on a limb and suggest if the Bucs can’t move the ball against the Eagles on Sunday, there will be changes to the offense in the very near future. (more…)
