Changes? You Bet.

Monday, October 1st, 2018

BY IRA KAUFMAN

It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there.

On the surface, a 2-2 record is nothing to panic over. This two-game losing streak may be unsettling, but the Bucs are only one game out of the division lead at the quarter-pole, with a road win over first-place New Orleans in the bank. (more…)

Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Bucs-Bears

Sunday, September 30th, 2018

BY IRA KAUFMAN

Admit it.

If you would have known that the Bucs were going to split their first four games this season, you would have been thrilled.

Now, you’re pissed.

As they have too many times in recent memory, the Bucs failed to show up for a road game. They deserved every bit of that 48-10 drubbing at Soldier Field, where conditions were perfect and Tampa Bay’s execution was anything but. (more…)

Desperate For Balance

Wednesday, September 26th, 2018

BY IRA KAUFMAN

It’s not sustainable.

Tampa Bay’s 2-1 getaway isn’t a fluke, but it’s not sustainable. If the Bucs don’t run the ball more efficiently or tighten up defensively, this promising season will slip away. (more…)

Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Bucs-Steelers

Tuesday, September 25th, 2018

BY IRA KAUFMAN

Grit, but no glory.

It was a tale of two halves at Raymond James Stadium Monday night and while the Bucs displayed character and resolve, the Steelers won a close game on the road by capitalizing on some sloppy play.

Pittsburgh hardly played a clean game, incurring 13 penalties for 155 yards, but Mike Smith’s defense didn’t make enough stops.

A 2-1 record should be a point of pride, especially considering the rugged schedule, but the prevailing sentiment in the Tampa Bay locker room is this was a game the Bucs should have won.

Here’s how it went down in prime time: (more…)
