There’s something about the Buccaneer defense that brings out the best in Kirk Cousins.

It doesn’t matter what uniform Cousins is wearing, he continues to wear out Tampa Bay.

Although he didn’t shout out “You like that?’ when he walked toward Atlanta’s locker room Sunday, that collective groan from Buc Nation made the question moot as Cousins shredded the Bucs for the second time in 24 days. It marked the second time this season that Cousins threw four TD passes against Tampa Bay’s reeling defense. (more…)

It’s almost ironic that on a day that saw Mr. Cleveland, Jameis Winston, put the Browns on his back for a huge interception-free win against the Ravens, Baker Mayfield channeled the ghost of Jameis and threw two more bad interceptions in a Bucs loss. (more…)

Can’t look down any longer.

Bucs legend Lavonte David always likes to talk about “mindset” and “mentality.” He must have been a psych major at Nebraska. (more…)

So the Bucs allowed three drives totaling 225 yards and 17 points on Monday night against the Ravens — in the second quarter. (more…)

“Look, Cade. I don’t care if you’re tired or worn out.”

One Bucs offseason goal was to cut the snaps of tight Cade Otton significantly.

It hasn’t happened. (more…)

It’s been a bunch of days since former Bucs linebacker Devin White negotiated his release from the Eagles. (more…)

Jamel Dean immediately popped off Falcons receiver Drake London after making this tackle.

So late in the fourth quarter last night when the Bucs defense tried to hold a three-point lead to keep the Falcons (who had used all their timeouts) out of field goal range, Tampa Bay was 1 second shy of completing the task. (more…)

This one will sting for Joe for quite some time. (more…)

Baker Mayfield played a heck of a game last night during the groin-stomp overtime loss to the Falcons. That’s back-to-back strong games for the Bucs quarterback, which is exactly what the organization wants from him. (more…)

Benched punter Jake Camarda.

So Joe blew off the Bucs benching third-year punter Jake Camarda on Sunday. It just didn’t move Joe’s needle, but Todd Bowles’ fresh commentary on the situation did.

(more…)

K.J. Britt and Anthony Nelson celebrate sacking Eagles QB Jalen Hurts on fourth down late in the game that sealed the Bucs’ win.

Welcome to Victory Monday! The Bucs are back on track after getting derailed last week. Grab your donut and coffee and let’s get rolling. As the Sage of Tampa Bay Sports, Ira Kaufman, would say, “Keep it tight.” (more…)

Freedom rang.

So Joe was told something very interesting after the game in the bowels of The Licht House. (more…)

So Joe had an intriguging chat with veteran Bucs wide receiver Sterling Shepard, who saw his first action of the season today in Tampa Bay’s beat down of the Eagles. (more…)

A former Todd Bowles player weighs in.

So what’s it like on a sour Monday with Todd Bowles at One Buc Palace?

A former Buccaneer explains. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht can’t be happy about his players’ comments.

It’s been stunning to hear takes from various Bucs on how un-hungry the team collectively was yesterday while getting mauled by the Broncos and held scoreless in the second half. (more…)

Bucs senior advisor Tom Moore talks Baker Mayfield.

Joe finds it hilarious that long-time football coach and current 85-year-old Bucs offensive assistant/senior advisor Tom Moore recently published a book. (more…)

Mike Evans is proud of Chris Godwin.

Boy oh boy, it is so refreshing for Joe to follow an NFL team that has next-level receivers with little to no ego. (more…)

Flash poll posted at 11:42 a.m. Poll closed at 1:01 p.m. Last week’s results linked here.

Mike Evans at practice.

Don’t tell Bucs officials that Mike Evans is past his prime — or even that he’s played his best football. (more…)

Baker Mayfield

NextGen Stats already has Baker Mayfield’s pass chart from yesterday uploaded. So Joe’s taking a gander at the interesting graphic. (more…)

Joe has to give Todd Bowles a standing ovation. (more…)

Vita Vea gets another “C” on his chest.

Bucs players have voted.

No other NFC team can say it has five of its own Super Bowl winners as team captains. (more…)
