Joe wonders what Tom Brady thought when he saw Sunday’s film of the Bucs defense.

Buccaneers legend Derrick Brooks set his thoughts free when it came to the poor tackling. (more…)

This is not George W. Bush, it’s NFL Films Xs and Os guru Greg Cosell.

The esteemed NFL Films Xs and Os junkie says he has trouble watching Tampa Bay when they have the football.

Ouch! (more…)

Talks Tom Brady trust.

It’s kind of interesting to Joe how with the rookie class, the two or three guys having the most impact on offense are perhaps not the rookies expected to ball out. (more…)

Call it a miracle. Call it supernatural. Call it a bizarre gift from the football gods or an insane gift from a hated rival. (more…)

All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs

Yes, there was a big-time update yesterday on Buccaneers All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs, who played cheerleader last night while Josh Wells held down his position. (more…)

The national roasting of Todd Bowles could have Joe busy typing for at least 24 consecutive hours.

It’s not just Bucs fans in stunned disbelief. (more…)

218-1.

The Bucs got just what they deserved Sunday — a galling loss.

All the momentum gathered in Munich was missing when they took on a reeling Cleveland team that had nothing to play for. Instead, the Browns exhibited more intensity and physicality than the visitors, who forgot the bye was over.

You’ll need both hands to count the culprits in a brutal 23-17 OT setback.

Looking for a place to start? Try the coaching staff. (more…)

Bucco Bruce Arians

Joe was waiting until this afternoon — when the Bucs flew to Cleveland — to issue a formal thank you to the Browns organization.

In fact, Team Glazer should issue one, as well. (more…)

Great chatter from Todd Bowles! (more…)

Bucs QB Coach Clyde Christensen talks Tom Brady.

Good luck finding a sign that Tom Brady doesn’t want to play quarterback next season. (more…)

Rookie running back Rachaad White.

Is rookie Rachaad White a truly historic running back when it comes to his style?

One guy who’s been around the NFL as a player and coach for 30-plus years seems to think so. (more…)

Still healing.

Sometimes it can take a little more than a year to bounce back from a knee injury. Bucs receiver Chris Godwin is experiencing that. (more…)

What’s the German word for an ass-kicking?

Somewhere during their 5,000-mile journey to Munich the Bucs grew a pair. They beat the sauerbraten out of the Seahawks up front and that was the difference in a 21-16 triumph that evened Tampa Bay at 5-5 before the bye.

Tampa Bay’s offensive priority was to establish a credible ground game. Mission accomplished.

The focus for Todd Bowles on defense? Contain impressive rookie back Kenneth Walker. Mission accomplished.

Pete Carroll’s teams are traditionally known for their physicality, but Seattle was bullied on foreign soil. Don’t be fooled by the final margin — the Bucs were the better team by far. (more…)

Hated Saints DE Cameron Jordan.

Look who officially sits last in the NFC South.

It’s a beautiful thing. (more…)

“It’s easy today, Byron.”

Man, Joe is fired up with the Bucs heading into their bye week without limping, instead pumping their fists high coming off this morning’s powerful performance against a good team. (more…)
