BY IRA KAUFMAN

Trudging off the field into the locker room, Mike Evans rubbed his eyes in apparent disbelief regarding what had just transpired.

Buc Nation nodded in agreement.

A team with little to play for besides pride had just beaten Tampa Bay, a club with everything to play for. Prohibitive favorites against New Orleans entering Sunday’s divisional matchup, the Bucs suffered a jarring 24-20 setback.

While the surging Panthers enjoyed a bye week, the Bucs appeared idle for most of a rainy afternoon. What made it even more discouraging was that the 3-10 Saints didn’t play particularly well in pulling off an upset that left Tampa Bay and Carolina tied atop the NFC South at 7-6.

The Bucs and Panthers will meet twice in the final four weeks and there’s no credible reason to think Tampa Bay is capable of registering a sweep. (more…)

Will a defensive humiliation cook the 2025 Buccaneers?

(more…)

You won’t ever catch Joe telling a Bucs fan how to be a fan.

If your goal is Tampa Bay winning a Super Bowl, then Joe is not here to judge how you think it’s best to get there. (more…)

Winning in the postseason requires talent.

There are no smoke and mirrors come January. (more…)

How bout that Buccaneers’ defense!

After being humiliated for three consecutive weeks, the defense found its footing today, with an assist to a weak Arizona offense that moved the ball 396 yards on Tampa Bay. (more…)

The Fighting Canaleses showed they are very much for real today with a stunning win against the Rams in Charlotte. (more…)

Return soon.

Jalen McMillan is Exhibit-A why Joe loathes worthless preseason games. Thankfully, McMillan’s nightmare of a 2025 season is about to end. (more…)
