Big-time praise from coach.

When Bucs coach Todd Bowles broke into the league as a safety in  1986, the NFL was far different than today. (more…)

Tristan Wirfs hugs rookie tight end Devin Culp.

So Joe watches Bucs training camp practices and while a lot of players are rather invisible, one guy who often looked the part of dangerous receiving tight end this summer was rookie seventh-round pick Devin Culp. (more…)

Is it logical to believe the Bucs were distracted Sunday against the Saints, overly consumed with Mike Evans getting his 11th consecutive season of 1,000 or more yards? (more…)

Mission accomplished.

What a wonderful Victory Monday this is! 2024 NFC South champs. Mike Evans kept his streak alive. A Sunday night playoff game. Good times. Fun times. Let’s get rolling. So grab your mug of coffee, piping hot! None of this iced stuff. Act like a man! (more…)

On a day when the Tampa Bay edge rush exploded with three sacks, Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett was on the sidelines pumping up the troops and preparing to play next Sunday. (more…)

Has Todd Bowles done a good job this season? (more…)

People keep telling Joe that the Panthers, with the NFL’s worst defense and a 4-11 record, are a quality football team that poses a lot of danger. (more…)

Joe loves how some fans have firm rules for the blame game as it relates to a Buccaneers loss. (more…)

Is there a reason why the Bucs fumble the ball more than any team in the NFC? (more…)

For more than a year, Joe has heard folks at One Buc Palace say No. 2 tight end Payne Durham is a real weapon in need of more opportunities.

Super effort.

Not-so secret weapon.

Since Sean Tucker went nuts against the slimy Saints, running for 136 yards, the Bucs have put him on ice. (more…)
