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…)

And Joe believes these Bucs have a new identity: the first-half snooze. (more…)

Playoffs!!!

Comment all game long below. Be nice. It’s not hard.

And stick with Joe and Sage of Tampa Bay Sports Ira Kaufman into the wee hours for plenty after this historic game.
