Should The Bucs Hire A Special Teams Consultant?

September 28th, 2025

“Mr. Glazer, we need a new line item in the budget. We’ll take it out of Greenberg’s 2026 raise.”

“Straight Discipline”

September 28th, 2025

Bucky Irving’s fumble gave the Eagles a very short field. Baker Mayfield’s needless red zone interception channeled the ghost of Jameis Winston. And the Eagles’ opening drive punt block for a touchdown is the kind of stuff that happens in JV high school games. [read more]

Charlie Heck: Impotent Start Doomed Bucs

September 28th, 2025

Slow start doomed Bucs.

“Your best ability is your availability.” [read more]

Thanks, Refs!

September 28th, 2025

No flag on the play as Chris Godwin has his jersey used as a leash by an Eagles defensive player.

As bad as the officiating was today, Joe has to wonder if the NFL wants the Eagles back in the Super Bowl as the NFC representative. [read more]

SirVocea Dennis Needs To Start Playing Smarter

September 28th, 2025

Sad plays in first half.

SirVocea Dennis may look like a grad assistant biology professor at USF, but he played the first half against the Eagles like a dropout from Manatee High School. [read more]

Eagles 31, Bucs 25

September 28th, 2025

What a game! More blood pressure spikes across the Tampa Bay area.

If the Bucs’ special teams wasn’t so damn leaky, the Bucs probably would have knocked off the world champs.

The Bucs defense lost Jamel Dean, Haason Reddick and Greg Gaines in the second half and still clamped down on the Eagles to help mount a big-time comeback. [read more]

Eagles-Bucs, Open Thread

September 28th, 2025

Comment all game long below.
