The quarterback whisperer is getting a tad hoarse.
Bruce Arians is losing his voice, and perhaps a piece of his mind, because this football team is annoyingly erratic. (more…)

Redemption is a beautiful thing, and it can’t come soon enough for some Buccaneers.
While it’s a tough task to single out anyone who fared well against the Saints, one player stands out below the rest. (more…)

Let’s go to the highlights.
Ryan Succop didn’t suck. Blaine Gabbert took a knee without tripping.
The rain held off, for the most part.
What else ya got?
The most lopsided loss in the unparalleled career of Tom Brady left two announcers and a national TV audience wondering why the Bucs have been generating so much hype. After two weeks of slop, even Tampa Bay’s most passionate supporters are questioning the players and coaches operating out of One Buc Place. (more…)

We’re on to New Orleans.
That should have been the mantra for Bruce Arians after Monday night’s forgettable performance at the Meadowlands.
The only positive the Bucs can take out of that slop is they managed to walk out with a win on the road, remaining atop the NFC South. They played better in the second half — in large part because the opening 30 minutes were absolutely unacceptable.
It’s not a stretch to suggest some of Tampa Bay’s minds were already on the Saints, despite all the pleadings from the coaching staff to take the Giants seriously. Those pleas fell on deaf ear holes as New York rolled up 15 first downs in the first half.
The Giants were well prepared for Todd Bowles and his exotic blitzes and a slapdash offensive line opened up big holes for Wayne Gallman and Alfred Morris, two journeymen who will never be confused with Derrick Henry.
“They hit us in the mouth in the first half,” acknowledged Lavonte David.
The Bucs looked wobbly, but they never went down. Perhaps a better opponent would have put them away, but the Giants are 1-7 for a reason. Tom Brady likes to say that if you’re not on your game, you’re in trouble against any NFL team.
The difference is this Buc team has the talent and fortitude to overcome a lethargic effort. The Bucs will have to play a better game against the Saints Sunday night — and they will.
Here’s how the Bucs forged their first 6-2 getaway since the 2002 championship season: (more…)

As Vince Lombardi famously remarked, if you strive for perfection, you can catch excellence along the way.
The 2020 Bucs aren’t perfect by any measure, but they’re sure playing some inspired football. Ol’ Vince would be proud of the way Tampa Bay has rebounded from that dispiriting evening in Chicago, dismantling the Packers and pulling away from the Raiders in crunch time. (more…)
