A former Buccaneer drops the hammer on Mike Evans
Whoa!
Even-keeled, level-headed and Xs-and-Os-minded former Buccaneer Dave Moore was one fired up guy yesterday during the Bucs’ sad performance at the Den of Depression. (more…)
Adios
Watching cornerback Alterraun Verner run around thieving Team Glazer gelt yesterday was depressing. It’s easier watching Michael Johnson perform for the Bengals, or tight end Brandon Myers being inactive on the Tampa Bay sidelines. (more…)
Joe’s got a telling — and real — statistic.
The Tampa Bay defense played just about exactly the way Joe thought it would yesterday.
And frankly, it was eerily similar to how it’s played all season. (more…)
Jason Licht talks about the grand slam
Christmas in 11 days, and the other Christmas, the one celebrated by all, is in 137 days. (more…)

If there was one thing Bucs fans hoped to see as they filed into the Den of Depression Sunday, it was the Tampa Bay offense clicking against an atrocious defense. (more…)
Well, here we are. Back to soul-crushing football. Here it appeared the Bucs just might explode into a playoff spot, a wild card. December games were meaningful for a change. (more…)
Bucs RB Doug Martin breaks loose on one of his 11 attempts. (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.)
Bucs fans are grumbling about why Doug Martin is not being used very much.
Well, there are two answers. (more…)
Just do your job.
Last month, Lovie Smith pulled Akeem Spence out of a game and benched him for going after someone when a play was over, a critical personal foul late in a close contest against the Giants. (more…)
Punting late was right, said Lovie.
It was late in the game. Saints led 24-17. The Bucs’ offense was, well, uneven (Joe is trying to be polite).
Tampa Bay’s defense was starting to wear down and through much of the game couldn’t stop Drew Brees. (more…)
Gerald McCoy was back on the field but largely ineffective with a cast on his left hand.
Look for Gerald McCoy smiling at the Pro Bowl after this season, but it certainly hasn’t been an eat-pineapple-and-hula kind of year for No. 93. (more…)
With so much to play for, how could the Bucs be flat?
For a while today, Joe couldn’t believe his eyes. Then later in the locker room, Joe couldn’t believe his ears. (more…)
Showcasing for his next team
With Kwon Alexander suspended for the rest of the season after sucking down the wrong energy drink from a local convenience store (allegedly), the Bucs turned today to the guy they paid massive cash to in March to play the position Alexander won in August. (more…)
After Bucs WR Vincent Jackson left with a knee injury today, the lack of depth at receiver was exposed. (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com)
The Bucs aren’t as good as we thought.
No, Joe is not going to rail on penalties, though he should, but Joe will rag a little bit on dropped passes. Those drops revealed the lack of depth at wide receiver. (more…)
An example of Lovie Smith’s Cover-Nobody secondary today.
Well, Lovie Smith’s famed defense returned in the first half today. It’s his version of the Cover-2. It’s called the “Cover-Nobody.” (more…)
Don’t dare suggest to America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, that he overthrew Charles Sims in the fourth quarter for what looked like a sure touchdown bomb. (more…)
Saints RB Tim Hightower celebrates what proved to be the winning touchdown against the Bucs.
It’s time to face facts: The Bucs aren’t good enough. The Bucs are not a playoff team.
Oh, sure, America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, stated after the game the Bucs “absolutely” are still in the playoff hunt, but reality suggests otherwise. (more…)
