Joe is going to have to eat Advil all week in order to try to sound positive and giddy with the fact this awful Bucs team still has a chance to win the division and make the playoffs. Advil and gallons of coffee and Mountain Dew will help Joe fake it. Joe is that depressed. If somehow the Bucs make the playoffs, Joe knows what will happen in the first round. So let’s get to it as it sure seems inevitable that the guillotine will soon come down on some people, maybe big names in the coming days, weeks and months. Something has to give with this emotionless, losing team. Buckle up and grab your coffee. [read more]

It’s official. The Bucs deserve to be called a bunch of losers. [read more]

Joe saw a less than high-energy Bucs team through the first half today against the sorry, half-tanking Dolphins.

So Joe asked Todd Bowles what he saw. [read more]

There was an interesting moment as Joe sat in a small room with heavy metal doors deep in the bowels of the Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium this afternoon. [read more]

It’s strange how Bucs players are talking about needing to play harder after a winless December.

Shouldn’t that have been ironed out weeks ago?

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

An attempt was made on the Buccaneers Radio Network to try to cheer up head coach Todd Bowles. Sad thing is, he didn’t really want to have anything to do with happy talk or possible playoffs. [read more]

Forgettable season.

A lot of Bucs fans are willing to give Baker Mayfield a pass for three straight games with a fourth-quarter pick that doomed the Bucs because they believe Mayfield is playing hurt, does Bucky Irving get the same pass? [read more]

Upset with loss.

The Joe typing this here story is not on the scene at Hard Rock Stadium, but it seems there may have been more ruffling of feathers by a Bucs leader. [read more]

Latest Todd Bowles killer.

Joe has to give Bucs coach/defensive coordinator Todd Bowles some props here. No, really. [read more]

Another costly pick late.

Joe certainly hopes for Baker Mayfield’s sake, and yes, even the Bucs’ sake, that Mayfield is hurt much worse than he or the team is willing to admit. [read more]

Winner-take-all game is next.

How bout those Bucs!

Yeah, they make fans want to puke but they’re still in the Super Bowl hunt with a 7-9 record.

Thank you, miserable NFC South.

The Bucs (7-9) lost today, of course, in Miami, their seventh “L” in eight games. But the Panthers (8-8) got rolled at home by Seattle, as expected. So next weekend (time and day to be determined) the teams will square off in Tampa for a trip to the playoffs.

What a country!

An old cliché is biting Tampa Bay in the ass. [read more]
