Imposter?
Last year Bucs safety Antoine Winfield was like the Tasmanian Devil in the Bucs’ secondary. He was everywhere. It’s why he was an All-Pro. (more…)
Not dodging.
Today at One Buc Palace, Joe saw dudes carry out their belongings in trash bags. Rachaad White, for example had so much stuff he needed a wagon-like cart to haul his stuff. (more…)
Strong effort flushed.
This makes Joe want to pound his head on the keyboard. (more…)
A hearty faction of Bucs fans doesn’t think Todd Bowles is a head coach that can lead the Bucs to the Super Bowl. (more…)
Wanted.
With only five snaps for Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett in the groin-stomp loss last night, it was clear that head coach/defensive coordinator Todd Bowles didn’t consider Shaq to be a savior of his defense. (more…)
Bye, golly! (more…)
With a couple of plays remaining last night Bucs fans saw Lavonte David on the field last for what hopefully was not the last time.

Sometimes, you have to give the other guy some credit.
The 2024 Buc season ended with a thud Sunday, a game-winning FG that clanked off the right upright as time expired. Tampa Bay fans will undoubtedly dwell on what the home team didn’t do, but the reality is the Commanders played a confident, poised game in prevailing 23-20. (more…)
Joe hopes and prays and hopes some more that offensive coordinator Liam Coen returns next season. (more…)
Takes a bullet for offense.
It looked like the game had turned. (more…)
The Buccaneers’ gameplan in last night’s crushing playoff loss was not to pump the football into Mike Evans early and often.
Perhaps it should have been. (more…)
Mistakes piled up.
In a playoff game, in a one-score situation, the smallest of mistakes blow up into game-changing nut-kicks. (more…)
Heartfelt bro hugs in the locker room were common after the game.
There was a lot of hugging going on. (more…)
So the Bucs trailed 20-17 with 4:41 remaining at the Washington 14 yard line tonight. (more…)
