Breakdown.

Injuries. It all boils down to injuries. (more…)

Remember the first Saints game this year in New Orleans?

The Bucs won big but also needed eight tries to score once from the 1 yard line. (more…)

Bucs’ success rate of offensive plays almost total opposite of 2024.

The Bucs’ third-down percentage against the slimy Saints was atrocious on Sunday. (more…)

So Sunday in the shocking loss to the slimy Saints in Tampa, Bucs running back Bucky Irving got off to a poor start. (more…)

The Bucs haven’t found a repellant for the injury bug. (more…)

Jason Pierre-Paul plans to be vocal with teammates.

The more Joe reads and hears about the Bucs throwing a Hail Mary, signing a guy just days away from his 37th birthday, hoping a guy who hasn’t had a sack in three years can somehow produce on the field wasn’t so much about production on Sundays but about the culture of the locker room. (more…)

“We need a spark, Tae.”

Joe heard Bucs players, coaches and officials say over and over again all offseason the team has a very special group of leaders.

The veteran leadership on the team is top-shelf, they said. (more…)

PRESENTED BY

Jason Pierre-Paul (right) on a glorious night about five years ago.

The Colts just signed 44-year-old quarterback Phillip Rivers to possibly replace injured Daniel Jones.

The longtime Pro Bowl QB hasn’t played since the 2020 season. Joe read comments and writings on various Colts blogs, and the move seems to be embraced by Colts fans. (more…)

The Bucs’ starting left tackle on Sunday was no Charlie Heck. (more…)

Headed to IR.

Ben Bredeson’s (regular) season is done. That’s the news coming out of One Buc Palace today.

(more…)

Rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka.

The late and sometimes great NFL receiver Mike Williams, the Bucs’ fourth-round pick in 2010, was handed the Tampa Bay’s No. 1 receiver job a handful of weeks after he was drafted.

It wasn’t too big for him, despite no-name rookie receivers playing opposite him. (more…)

“Mr. Glazer, there’s a reason my guy Christian Izien led the team in tackles Sunday.”

What’s wrong with the Bucs? (more…)

Depressing chart.

It’s official. Josh Grizzard has gone full-blown Liam Coen, except not with Coen’s positive results. (more…)

Purging Sunday’s memory.

The Bucs don’t have time to lick their wounds. (more…)

Another bad defensive game.

Is Joe the only guy who has had it with opposing quarterbacks reaching milestones against the Bucs’ defense? (more…)

Don’t get started.

There’s a reason why the Bucs won a Super Bowl in 2020. (more…)

Panic.

The last we saw of Jason Pierre-Paul, he packed up his belongings in his downtown Tampa condo and watched the moving company haul them away. JPP then climbed aboard a private jet and left Tampa seemingly for good, laughing hysterically, waving goodbye to Tampa from hundreds of feet in the sky. (more…)

Retired Bucs Pro Bowl DT Gerald McCoy.

The Buccaneers’ biggest cheerleader, and a six-time Pro Bowler for Tampa Bay, is like a lot of Bucs fans. (more…)
