Wednesday news.

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

“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. [read more]

Has his team’s back.

Yeah, Gerald McCoy agrees, losing Mike Evans really, really stinks. [read 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. [read 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. [read 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. [read 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. [read 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? [read 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. [read 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. [read 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.

No flag!

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. [read more]

BY IRA KAUFMAN

They call it Stormy Monday …

The Bucs were beaten decisively by the Lions in a 24-9 setback that was not unexpected. Detroit rarely loses back-to-back games under Dan Campbell and Tampa Bay was due for a letdown.

No big deal.

Then Mike Evans went down with a broken clavicle that could sideline him for the remainder of the regular season.

Very big deal. [read more]
