“First and 10, Trask in the shotgun. Handoff to Vaughn. He dodges one tackler and gets four yards running behind Tristan Wirfs.”

Could that be the way Gene Deckerhoff kicks off the 2022 season on air for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

Stranger things have happened — like a forlorn franchise landing Tom Brady as a free agent two years ago or the hapless Texans giving Lovie Smith a third bite of the head coaching apple. (more…)

Tom Brady’s exquisite sense of timing finally betrayed him.

Reports of Brady’s imminent retirement broke all over Twitter on Saturday afternoon, apparently catching the Bucs by surprise. In a subsequent statement released by Brady’s agent, Don Yee neither confirmed nor denied the reports.

In the news business, that’s considered a tacit confirmation. (more…)

Behind closed doors at One Buc Place, they’re talking about Door No. 2.

You can bet Jason Licht, Bruce Arians and, most importantly, the Glazers are fixated on the next Buc under center should Tom Brady call it a day.

This franchise can’t afford to be caught flat-footed at the game’s most important position, so plans are being formulated if No. 12 decides to end a career like no other. (more…)

THAT’S the way you take care of a playoff pretender.

The Bucs wasted no time in showing a national TV audience the difference between a 13-4 division champion and a 9-8 wild-card club.

If you arrived a little late for Sunday’s matchup, you missed the game because the Eagles were competitive for less than 15 minutes.

When the first quarter concluded, Tampa Bay had 11 first downs — Philadelphia had one. The Bucs had 25 snaps compared to 8 for the Eagles. The gap in total yards was 137-17.

Game, set, match. (more…)
