Joe’s been feeling it in the liquor stores, at Hooters, in the Publix cookies aisle and at Joe’s group therapy session for survivors of The Lost Decade. (more…)

The red-hot playcaller of the Bucs reacted today to a question about what it’s like to be a constantly kicked around name for eventual head coach openings next month. (more…)

Bucs OC Liam Coen.

Liam Coen is blessed by his boss.

The playcaller behind transforming the Bucs offense into a bludgeoning force — through the air and on the ground — seems destined to be a hot head coach candidate next month.

That’s Liam Coen, and Bucs head coach Todd Bowles might be his biggest cheerleader. (more…)

Teacher.

Back in 2022, the Bucs drafted three offensive players they hoped would be in full stride by 2024. (more…)

Streaking.

Jamel Dean doesn’t get a whole bunch of interceptions. But when he does get one, one could argue it is unexpected, and not because the Bucs’ cornerback has his droughts. (more…)

Todd Bowles is a stoic dude and a coach who’s hard to find celebrating publicly after a win. (more…)

Might be set free.

No, Joe doesn’t smoke. Joe enjoys breathing. But Joe does have a vice that if it isn’t solved in the next couple of years, it will be the end of Joe as if he had a two-pack-a-day habit. (more…)

Stunned by Bucs’ dominance.

Hey, Joe can’t sit here and wag a finger at Kay Adams. Joe’s reaction watching the Bucs’ seal-clubbing of the Chargers in person was pretty much the same. (more…)

Not just a defensive tackle.

In light of how Bucs coach Todd Bowles trumpeted the play of Calijah Kancey on Monday with WFLA-TV, Joe doesn’t know what to make of the following. (more…)

The 2024 Bucs defense has gone from real to fake and back to real again. (more…)

Tough talk.

It seems Todd Bowles has an interesting line item on his job description for assistant coaches. (more…)

Congratulations, Baker Mayfield!

Deserved love for the Buccaneers franchise quarterback.

Mayfield beat out Mike Evans and others to be named NFC offensive Player of the Week today.

It’s no big deal at One Buc Palace. The award has been won already this season by running backs Sean Tucker and Bucky Irving.

Through 14 games, Mayfield has 3,617 passing yards, 32 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and is completing at a whopping 70.8 percentage rate.

Want to win playoff games? Have a stud quarterback and true playmakers on both sides of the ball.

And the best long-range kicker in the history of the NFL is a bonus, too. (more…)

Bucs believer.

As Joe stated, the Bucs are now on the radars of the big boys of national sports media. (more…)

Bucs OC Liam Coen.

Better get used to it, Bucs fans. In a couple of weeks, you’ll be reading how teams are asking the Bucs for permission to interview offensive coordinator Liam Coen for a head coaching job. (more…)
