It’s been 15 years since Derrick Brooks was a Hall of Fame linebacker for the Buccaneers, so Joe feels the need to remind young readers what a stud Brooks was.

Then he jumped into media and business and later into his role as an appeals officer hired by the NFL and the NFL Players Association about 10 years ago to determine on-field discipline. (more…)

Veteran QB coach Alex Van Pelt.

UPDATED: A former Bucs quarterbacks coach is interviewing with the team today. That’s the word from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. (more…)

Well, that was quick.

Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales has gone from first-time playcaller with Tampa Bay to the head coach of the Stinking Panthers in the NFC South. (more…)

Crushes Todd Bowles.

The gang on “Good Morning Football” agrees. Either Bucs coach Todd Bowles had some shady agreement with his friend Dan Campbell to lay down in the final seconds of Sunday’s division-round playoff loss to the Lions or Bowles made one of the worst mistakes in coaching annals. (more…)

Mike Evans hauls in a crazy catch in front of Detroit CB Cameron Sutton. (A JoeBucsFan.com photo.)

No Victory Monday today. And none for about another nine months. Rotten fourth quarter yesterday. Sad ending. Let’s get this over with. (more…)

Team Glazer has an easy evaluation.

Today’s edition of the Buccaneers sure didn’t look like the clown show that showed up (didn’t show up?) against the Saints three weeks ago or the mess on display at Carolina. (more…)

Jared Goff wins off the field, and when facing a Todd Bowles defense.

Joe knows a sect of unreasonable Bucs fans think Bucs coach Todd Bowles is a terrible defensive coordinator. Well, he has way too many pelts on the wall for Joe to even entertain the idea that he sucks. (more…)

The Bucs have a special quarterback.

But how special is he? (more…)

Offense made Todd Bowles smile.

Joe typed last night that this Bucs team can do serious damage when the offense is opened up. (more…)

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts.

The quarterback the Bucs expect to face a week from tonight to begin the postseason likely won’t be 100 percent. But it appears Jalen Hurts will play. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht may not have jumped in his backyard pool after clinching his third conseuctive division title today, but he did engage in online trash talk. (more…)

Set an early tone in shutout.

To paraphrase Colorado coach and NFL cornerback legend Deion Sanders, is YaYa Diaby, him? (more…)

Gerald McCoy

The media’s biggest Bucs fan outside of Joe may be six-time Pro Bowl Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, a first-year personality on NFL Network. (more…)

It’s become clear to Joe that the Bucs’ only hoping of winning a playoff game is tied to them facing a reeling club.

The football gods appear to have handed that to Tampa Bay. (more…)

Joe was so upset by the irresponsible way the Bucs came out yesterday when they had a chance to win the NFC South and totally rolled over like a golden retriever puppy begging for a treat from mom, that Joe had to listen to an obscure World War II podcast to try to fall asleep. Let’s get this over with so Joe can watch football all day and night today. (more…)

Sure, Baker Mayfield has a Christmas wish for the Buccaneers to finish 10-7 and thrive offensively as long as they can.

But he’s also wishing for something else. (more…)

Baker Mayfield is a true believer. (more…)

“Blaine, somebody coached up Baker.”

Like many Bucs fans, one Joe at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters thinks it blasphemy to say Baker Mayfield has been an upgrade from Tom Brady this season.

The Joe typing here thinks Brady is a big boy and can handle the truth. (more…)

Bucs OC Dave Canales.

Several fans like Joe think getting the ball to Chris Godwin more in Green Bay was the catalyst to one of the best offensive outputs of the season for the Bucs. (more…)
