Fear struck out. (more…)

Tim McGraw sang a few songs about heartache and regret before the home team supplied the chorus.

The Bucs were in a giving mood Sunday against a franchise that went 0-8 on the road last season, a 49ers team that traveled cross-country before facing 93-degree heat.

The worst part of all is that San Francisco didn’t play particularly well. The 49ers played hard — and they needed all that resolve to overcome two giveaways and 11 penalties, including three that nullified apparent touchdowns.

Here’s how the Bruce Arians era in Tampa began: (more…)

Ira Kaufman’s Three Steps For The Playoffs

Thursday, September 5th, 2019

“Pay attention, Joel. And can we get brisket and beet salads at halftime? The buffet is getting stale.”

BY IRA KAUFMAN
JoeBucsFan.com columnist

Repeat after me: 1-2-3, playoffs.

This is not rocket science, people. Every year, at least one NFL team makes a giant leap from the basement to the penthouse. Lots of upward mobility in this league, but the Bucs seem to like it down there.

They’ve spent seven of the past eight seasons in the NFC South basement, so here comes Bruce Arians, eager to run over these demons in his golf cart. (more…)

O.J. Howard is starting to think “potential” is his middle name, so he plans on doing something about it this fall. He plans on staking his claim as the NFL’s premier tight end. (more…)
