The Bucs are now 12-10 when Todd Bowles is their head coach at The Licht House, but that’s not the kind of advantage Joe is referring to after today’s clobbering of the Eagles. [read more]

Snapped an ugly franchise streak.

Yeah, Joe wondered aloud after last week’s blowout loss to Denver if maybe Mike Evans’ slow start was an early sign that age would catch up to him this season.

But the film showed a different story. [read more]

 

Joe loved seeing the Falcons and Saints clash in a hot contest that left the Bucs free and clear atop the NFC South.

Atlanta kicked a last-second field goal today to win 26-24 at home. It was a back-and-forth game that saw the fierce division rivals beat the crap out of each other physically.

That puts each team at 2-2 and a full game behind the Bucs, which travel to Atlanta on Thursday night.

How bout those 3-1 Buccaneers!

Those fans who buried Tampa Bay after a bizarre hiccup last week were shut up in a hurry today. The Bucs even scored on their opening drive for the first time since the 2022 season. And they scored on their second drive! [read more]

Flash poll posted at 10:36 a.m.

Ecstasy on Dale Mabry Highway this morning from network news reports that Bucs manbeast Vita Vea will play on his sprained right knee against the Eagles today at The Licht House.

Eagles All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson, as expected, will be out because of a concussion suffered last Sunday.

“Got it from a source, Mayfield.”

Good news from uber NFL insider Adam Schefter of BSPN. Both Rachaad White, who was added to the injury report Saturday, and Bucky Irving, who has been nursing a hamstring, will play against the Eagles.

Schefter posted this information on Twitter, currently known as X, after midnight. White was added to the injury report with an illness that Schefter reported as food poisoning.

So you can relax, Bucs fans. It looks like the Bucs won’t have to lean on only Sean Tucker against the Eagles at 1 p.m.

Jamel Dean explains.

Jamel Dean was polite about it. But the Bucs’ veteran corner told Joe last week that expecting the Eagles to be a less dangerous team because of injuries on offense would be downright stupid. [read more]
