Killing defenses with his arm.

Joe just doesn’t understand the run-the-ball people. (more…)

Bold prediction.

As mentioned among Joe’s (pleasant) surprises for the Bucs this year is Zyon McCollum becoming a solid corner in his first season as a full-time starter. (more…)

Eats up blitzes.

Just based on the following information from the PFF tribe, if the Bucs want to push the ball and not lean on their pathetic run game, today’s game with the Broncos could be a blowout. (more…)

Joe was very intrigued by an Xs and Os breakdown out of Denver.

A longtime Broncos linebacker, who was a 2024 summer coaching intern on Sean Payton’s staff, had damning words for the sadsack Broncos offense and their rookie quarterback. (more…)

With undrafted rookie receiver Kameron Johnson banged up, the Bucs have called up Baker Mayfield’s good buddy and former college teammates Sterling Shepard from the practice squad. (more…)

How good is he this year?

Baker Mayfield as the NFL’s Offensive Most Valuable Player seems like a reach in late September. But what about after two games? (more…)

The Bucs host a reeling rookie QB tomorrow.

Yes, Joe was somewhat scarred from watching both Broncos games this season with rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

Per a seasoned NFL reporter at Sunday’s Broncos-Steelers game, Nix was so bad that Steelers players were laughing at the Denver offense. (more…)

Will miss Broncos game.

Clearer heads prevailed at One Buc Palace today. (more…)

Drooling.

The dripping sound in the distance might be YaYa Diaby’s drool hitting the floor. (more…)

“Bruce, why can’t we shake this anywhere?”

So it’s Week 3 in the NFL!

That reminds Joe that the Bucs have lost 8 or their last 10 games in Week 3. (more…)

Bucs’ biggest surprise.

So what has been the biggest Bucs surprise in the still-young 2024 NFL season? Joe has a pretty good idea. (more…)

If Bucs fans don’t live in Florida but live west of the Rockies or east of the Mississippi, they are pretty much SOL when it comes to watching the Broncos-Bucs game on free TV. (more…)

Bucs senior advisor Tom Moore talks Baker Mayfield.

Joe finds it hilarious that long-time football coach and current 85-year-old Bucs offensive assistant/senior advisor Tom Moore recently published a book. (more…)

Bucs opponent reacts on camera.

The Lions knew. (more…)

Defends Liam Coen.

It is not surprising for Joe to hear a former Bucs offensive lineman stick up for an offensive coordinator when his right tackle is getting abused by a star pass rusher.

But the same guy, surprisingly, refused to defend the right tackle. (more…)

So Todd Bowles’ teammate for four years in Washington, a guy who knows Bowles and the Bucs well, also is a Broncos great who hosts a popular sports radio morning show in Denver. (more…)

Joe suffered through watching both Broncos games this season with rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

Joe’s favorite line during the Week 2 game against the Steelers came from CBS color analyst Adam Archuleta. (more…)

One message at One Buc Palace this week has been to not blame backup right tackle Justin Skule for Lions edge rusher Aiden Hutchinson playing game-wrecker with 4 1/2 sacks on Sunday.

But today it felt like there was a new message. (more…)
