Reddick has battled ankle and knee injuries dating back to the loss to the Lions. He has 1.5 sacks this season.

No, the subject of this discussion had nothing to do with Michael Vick or the 2013 Buccaneers. (more…)

Tampa Bay’s remaining opponents have a combined record of 25-43 this season.

That’s great news for the Bucs’ playoff hopes, and for a phenomenon articulated by Bucco Bruce Arians that is sure to affect the team soon, maybe as early as tomorrow. (more…)
