First, let Joe start this post by ordering everyone to perform their civic duty by casting Pro Bowl votes right here.

Panthers fans are doing it in droves. So where the hell are you? (more…)

Joe is growing further dumbfounded by the expert doubters of America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston. (more…)

Preparing For The “Signature Win” Morons

Monday, December 7th, 2015

LoviesadLegions of idiots across the Tampa Bay area, if they haven’t gotten to you yet, will soon be trumpeting that of all the teams the Bucs have beaten this season, not one owns a winning record. (more…)

Throughout today, Joe will bring you reactions from various players discussing the stunning 20-yard run by America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. It kept the final drive alive that ended in a game-winning touchdown. Yesterday’s run by Jameis may have saved the Bucs’ season, as they enter their final four games very much in the hunt for a wild card berth. (more…)

Welcome to Victory Monday, Bucs fans!

So it is official. With four games left, the Bucs are an even .500, 6-6. In December. They are in second place in the NFC South and own a tiebreaker over the Dixie Chicks. (more…)

Excitable Lovie

More video of pumped up Lovie.

Joe always wants to show these videos for the anti-Lovie Smith crowd that howls because the head coach doesn’t act like a cartoon character on the sideline. (more…)

Siege The Pool!

Director of Football Operations Shelton Quarles and his children join Bucs GM Jason Licht and his family in the traditional victory plunge Sunday.

The tradition continues.

Whenever Tampa Bay wins, Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht dives in his pool, fully clothed in the suit he wore during the vicotory. But maybe Licht’s tired of coughing up ugly cleaning bills because he was wearing a cheap jacket Sunday. (more…)

Run With Jameis

If you ever get a chance to talk to a Tampa Bay veteran, ask them about “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, and watch how their face lights up. (more…)

Lovie sure does love some Mike Jenkins.

When Bucs coach Lovie Smith arrived in Tampa Bay, he seemed hellbent on a mission to gut a productive cornerbacks stable. (more…)

Boy, oh boy, is Mike Evans a frustrating watch. The full frontal of Evans was on display today, the hair-pulling, beer-throwing bad, and the cheap hug of the well-endowed chick sitting next to you in exultation. (more…)

Martin Churning Toward Another Pro Bowl

Dirk Koetter was on a mission

Dirk Koetter was on a mission

Your unpredictable Buccaneers opened the game handing the ball off to Doug Martin six consecutive times.

Perhaps Dirk Koetter was doing some twisted self-punishment after senselessly giving up on Martin in the second half seven days ago. (more…)

Contenders

Today was a day we would find out if the Bucs were a pretender or a contender.

Folks, the Bucs are a contender. (more…)

V-Jax gets serious

Vincent Jackson made a few plays himself today, en route to 87 yards receiving on just three receptions.

But Jackson was quiet after the game and only seemed to want to talk about America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston. (more…)

The Rookie Is Magical

Godsend!

Godsend!

Joe is sitting here at the Den of Depression press box staring out onto the empty bowl of the stadium — the grass hardly looks like a game was played just an hour ago — trying to put into words what Joe watched earlier in the afternoon. (more…)

How bout that depth on the Buccaneers’ defensive line!

Missing two starters today, Gerald McCoy and Jacquies Smith, Tampa Bay’s run defense was stout and the pass rush looked unchanged. (more…)

Welcome Back, Lovie Smith

Sunday, December 6th, 2015

lovie smith 0920Give it up for the head coach of the Buccaneers.

Lovie Smith survived a gruesome 2-14 season and a complete embarrassment on opening day this year to earn a return in 2016. (more…)

Jameis

How bout those Dropaneers!

Not even absent Gerald McCoy and costly butter hands by Mike Evans, Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Doug Martin can slow the Buccaneers’ revival under America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston. (more…)
