Game 13
Bungling Bills (4-8) at Bucs (3-9)
Kickoff: 1 p.m.
TV: WTSP-TV, Channel 10, locally. Outside the Tampa Bay area, DirecTV Channel 704.
Radio: Buccaneers Radio Network (in Tampa WFUS-FM 103.5, and WDAE-AM 620); SiriusXM Channel 113.
The Bucs will accomplish a rare feat when their defense takes the field this afternoon against Buffalo. Every opening-day starter will be healthy and ready to roll.
How often does that happen in Week 14 of a season?
Remember when the Bucs opened the year playing nasty, physical, swarming defense against the Jets, Saints and Cardinals? [read more]
Pick this video up at the 9:27 mark, when Chris Collinsworth, Phil Simms and Steve Largent come together to predict the Bucs-Bills game on Inside The NFL on Showtime. Interestingly, Collinsworth liked what the Bucs put on film against Carolina, and Simms notes that the Bucs are marching forward on a mission. “They’re trying to save jobs down there.”
Many tens of thousands of JoeBucsFan.com readers only come here once a week or so. They’re people with meaningful lives, unlike Joe and many Bucs-obsessed lunatics that live on these pages 24/7. So with no Bucs football until tomorrow, Joe thought he’d re-visit a handful of this week’s headlines — for non-regular readers who want to catch up. Enjoy!

Bucs fans won’t see every last inch of talent this season within the most expensive player in Bucs history.

With the Bills-Bucs game broadcast by CBS tomorrow, scant folks around the country will get to watch the game free over their local CBS affiliate. It only will be shown in the areas shaded in orange. Below is the TV map where you may or may not get to watch the game without cable or satellite. As always, TV maps courtesy of the506.com.
The Bucs may be struggling to win games and convert field goals, but they’re thriving in many other areas of special teams.
There’s plenty of credit to spread around. [read more]
Look, this is no knock on Bucs wide receiver Vincent Jackson. He is questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the bungling Bills with a sore hamstring. It likely will hobble Jackson the rest of the season. Hamstrings don’t just go away in a few days.
But Bucs commander Greg Schiano said something Friday during his daily press briefing that made Joe’s antennae perk up when he spoke about trying to keep Jackson healthy. [read more]
Seemingly shunning (or perhaps embracing?) the rollercoaster perception game of a long NFL season, veteran Tampa Tribune sports columnist Martin Fennelly penned a piece about how he can’t imagine Greg Schiano keeping his job if Tampa Bay loses to the Bills Sunday.
Is Fennelly right? [read more]
Below is more DUI law need-to-know from Tampa criminal defense attorney Brett Metcalf. Learn more at MetcalfLawFirm.com and schedule a free consultation.
Is the Breath Test accurate?
That depends on your definition of accuracy. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) drafted the rules governing the breath machine used in Florida – the Intoxilyzer 8000. FDLE decided that everyone arrested for DUI needs to provide two breath samples and that the results are “accurate,” if they fall within .02 points of each other. That .02 margin of error is 25% of the legal limit of .08!
To illustrate, let’s imagine you’re arrested for DUI and you blow exactly .08 on your first attempt. With a .02 margin of error, your second test can fall anywhere between .06 – .10 and be considered accurate by FDLE. That means the spread of acceptable results on your second attempt is .04! Does that sound accurate to you?
If you have been arrested for DUI and you blow over a .08, we can still win your case. The incredible margin of error allowed by FLDE is just one fact we can use to attack the Intoxilyzer 8000. Remember, the prosecution has the burden of proving you were above a .08 at the time you were driving. If we can show the jury a reason to doubt the accuracy of your breath test, you are not guilty of DUI.
