No use for slimy Saints.

Alright, there’s no sense pretending there is anything good about New Orleans except for world-class, all-night drunken parties, tailgating on Bourbon Street and shoveling top-shelf grub down your gullet all day long. (more…)

Todd Bowles made it clear today that he and the Bucs do not rush back injured players to the field. If they’re healthy enough to play, then expect them to play, Bowles said.

However … (more…)

Rookie cornerback Benjamin Morrison (left) and Jamel Dean.

The rotation of Jamel Dean and rookie cornerback Benjamin Morrison has gone well for the Bucs. (more…)

Haason Reddick

Buccaneers big-money edge rusher Haason Reddick has a bad ankle and a bad knee and will not play Sunday.

The betting lines have not shifted. (more…)

Wednesday news.

UPDATED 1:10 p.m. — Todd Bowles gave a fuzzy timeline for Mike Evans’ return from a broken clavicle on Monday night.

Then he delivered updates twice on Tuesday. Joe remained confused. (more…)

“Did you see this on the four-letter’s website, Mr. Glazer?”

The BSPN numberscrunchers, bean counters and dweebs who program software were not phased by the Bucs losing to the Lions on Monday night. (more…)

Has his team’s back.

Yeah, Gerald McCoy agrees, losing Mike Evans really, really stinks. (more…)

YAC doomed Bucs.

Yeah, the Bucs defense gave up big plays Monday night. But if you peel the onion skins back, there was a lot to like about the defense. (more…)

Passing chart vs. Lions.

Just looking at Baker Mayfield’s passing chart from Monday night in Detroit, passing wasn’t the problem when the Bucs tried to exploit the mismatches they had with the Lions’ secondary. (more…)

Lofty rookie grade.

Going through various sources, Joe still sees a fair number of folks who think Bucs receiver Emeka Egbuka is still a favorite for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. (more…)

This struck Joe because former Bucs running back LeSean “Shady” McCoy, the six-time Pro Bowler with the Bills and Eagles, was a notorious Baker Mayfield basher before this season. (more…)

Still a believer.

The way the Bucs’ offense got slapped around by a team that was both physical and motivated, do the Bucs still have a chance to make a Super Bowl run? (more…)

Talks offense.

Mere hours after the Lions’ defense seal-clubbed the Bucs offense before the eyes of the nation on Monday Night Football, Todd Bowles said he thinks changes will and should come to the offense. (more…)

Yes, Teddy Bridgewater made his first regular season appearance in a Buccaneers uniform last night. (more…)

So at his morning news conference today, Todd Bowles called out four Bucs missed tackles last night. (more…)

Haason Reddick looks on as YaYa Diaby strip-sacks Lions QB Jared Goff last night.

So Buccaneers edge rusher Haason Reddick left last night’s game with knee and ankle injuries and was seen taking a cart ride to the locker room. (more…)

Mike Evans lay prone on the turf of Ford Field after his injury and concussion Monday night.

Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield and Hall of Fame receiver Mike Evans may be tighter than you think. (more…)

Joe was sickened by the officiating last night. Too much of it makes no sense, like Cade Otton getting stripped of a first down after two reviews that featured no clear evidence to overturn the Bucs’ new set of downs.

Yeah, Joe wrote about it earlier, but above photo is from the JoeBucsFan.com photo genius on the scene. The football is seen on its way to Mike Evans while the Lions defender is completely airborne and hanging on/clinging to Evans’ neck.

Sadly, this is the play that left Evans with a concussion and a broken clavicle. The Bucs punted from their 40 yard line two plays later.

“Jamel, you’ve got 3 picks in 5 1/2 games. Just think about all that money you’ll earn next year.”

All Bucs cornerbacks were healthy last night for a change, along with starting safeties Antoine Winfield and Tykee Smith, fulfilling the offseason dream of Todd Bowles and Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht. (more…)
