Let’s think about what just happened here.

The Bucs struck out in free agency. Yeah, again. (more…)

Yeah, yeah, Bucs fans want super-reliable receiver Adam Humphries back in 2019. Jason Licht and Bucco Bruce Arians have said the same thing publicly.

But lots of other times likely want the free-agent-to-be, as well. (more…)

Blame Jameis, says Jameis.

If Bucs fans want to throw rocks at someone for the lack of chemistry and connection between America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, and malcontent wide receiver DeSean Jackson, aim for Jameis.

And that’s coming straight from the Bucs’ starting quarterback’s mouth. (more…)

It’s always fun on Bucs Uncensored. Listen above to the podcast or subscribe along with many thousands of Bucs fans on iTunes right here, or at Podbean.com. Justin’s work is not influenced by JoeBucsFan.com. Joe just thinks it’s very, very special. **CAUTION: some R-RATED language!** 

Knows GMC.

Joe vividly remembers last year at Super Bowl Week when manbeast defensive tackle Aaron Donald of the Rams appeared on “Pro Football Talk Live,” seen on the NBC Sports Network, and said he watches tape of Bucs stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy to learn how to become a better player. (more…)

New head coach Bucco Bruce Arians has studied Tampa Bay personnel since signing his four-year contract to lead Tampa Bay, and it seems pending free agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick might be welcomed back with open arms. (more…)

Andrew Luck talks to Joe

Joe loves the Pro Bowl vibe. Anything NFL warms Joe’s heart. (more…)

Keeping DeSean Jackson.

In the mind of a former Bucs player, the Bucs are better off holding their noses and finding a way to keep malcontent wide receiver DeSean Jackson than to toss him away. (more…)

Return unknown.

You can put the trade rumors to bed. (more…)

Well before Joe Maddon’s wait staff brought out the pasta, the salad and the booze, Bruce Arians knew this Bucs job was appetizing. (more…)

Joe was eager to talk to the resident Tampa quarterback whisperer, new head coach Bucco Bruce Arians, about scouting quarterbacks and competition at the position.

Arians seemed just as eager to answer Joe’s questions yesteday. (more…)

“Dirk, I can’t make any promises about Jacquizz. But he knows where Atlanta is.”

So now the Bucs have arguably the best quarterback guru in the NFL. What next? (more…)

Right on schedule!

Two-time NFL Coach of the Year Bruce Arians officially will be the 12th Buccaneers head coach in franchise history. (more…)

Team Glazer will name the Buccaneers’ 12th head coach

It won’t be long now, Bucs fans.

JoeBucsFan.com has learned on good authority that the Buccaneers plan to announce their new head coach no later than Tuesday of next week.

Joe expects it will be two-time NFL Coach of the Year Bruce Arians.

“Look, Glazer, my spreadsheet on available coaches was a freakin’ masterpiece.”

It seems general manager Jason Licht was shopping for head coaches weeks or months ago. (more…)

Still a depressing den.

No matter how accurate it is, there is still a sect of Bucs fans that grind their teeth whenever they read the following on this here site. (more…)

Joe has a habit of asking Gerald McCoy questions that seem to annoy McCoy.

It happened again today. (more…)
