Meltdown in Philly.

Eagles fans are completely and totally melting down this morning in the City of Brotherly Love, not quite 24 hours after the Bucs seal-clubbed their beloved birds 45-17. (more…)

Deep love

Gerald McCoy loves America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, but a reason might surprise you. (more…)

Lovie Smith is known behind the scenes as an organized guy, a guy with goals and plans and a system.

Oh, don’t you dare question that system. Lovie will tell you it’s a proven winner and shut you down if he sniffs a whiff of doubt. (more…)

The menacing and punishing Bucs offense also is a very dangerous bunch.

Buccaneers Radio Network Xs and Os guru Dave Moore, the former Tampa Bay tight end, touched on the subject this morning on WDAE-AM 620. (more…)

FSU coach Jimbo Fisher discusses the five-touchdown game his most famous QB pupil had Sunday.

So while Bucs fans were chugging mass quantities of alcoholic beverages over the five-touchdown performance of America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, the man who coached him up in college was on radio talking about the game. (more…)

Joe understands why Tampa Bay fans stomp their feet because national types don’t talk much about the team and few if any games are broadcast in primetime.

TV networks are not about what is fair. (more…)

Welcome to Victory Monday, Bucs fans!

Welcome to a playoff chase. Yes, really!

And you know how this all started? It started with the drafting of America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. (more…)

So the “Fire the Cannonballs” tradition is growing. (more…)

Emotional Lovie.

Yes, Joe gets a kick out of Bucs fans who kvetch that Lovie isn’t some cartoon character on the sidelines.

Lovie is a stoic figure during the games, unless Akeem Spence does something dumb. That’s usually because Lovie is deep in thought. A man in control. (more…)

Finally, Logan Mankins is having serious fun.

The Buccaneers scored their final offensive touchdown today and old man guard Logan Mankins, the 33-year-old former Patriots superstar and six-time Pro Bowler, was bouncing up and down along the bench like a 4-year-old who just got a new tricycle for Christmas. (more…)

Jameis tells Joe where “to get your analysis of the game.”

Notice how there was diversity in the Bucs’ offense today?

Mike Evans wasn’t barraged repeatedly like a worn out carnival target. All of a sudden there was an underneath passing game. Adam Humphries looked like a real slot receiver. (more…)

Determined gamer

After today’s game, Joe asked Vincent Jackson exactly how accelerated his return was today after a knee ligament injury on October 25. (more…)

Bucs LB Lavonte David returns a pick for a touchdown before dozens of Eagles fans today to seal a victory. (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.)

In the first half of the season, a big question with the Bucs was what the heck happened to outside linebacker Lavonte David. It was like he wasn’t even on the field. (more…)

What kind of league slaps woman abuser Greg Hardy with a four-game suspension and issues the same punishment to a 21-year-old, 227-pound linebacker who likes energy drinks at 7-11?

Alas, this appears to be what the Bucs are dealing with. (more…)

Defensive end Jacquies Smith won’t be playing in a Pro Bowl anytime soon, but he’s a darn good football player.

Hell, the guy has 12 sacks in just fifteen career starts for your Tampa Bay Buccaneers. (more…)

Tight end Luke Stocker (88) congratulates fellow TE Cameron Brate for his eight-yard TD catch that capped an impressive drive to suck the life out of the Eagles. (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.)

A lot of Bucs fans grumble that the Bucs almost always defer the opening kickoff to the second half under Lovie Smith. (more…)

Tough, inspiring talk from Vincent Jackson. (Photo courtesy of Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

Joe has plenty to write about today’s return of Vincent Jackson but first must share a 1-on-1 moment with V-Jax in the happy Bucs’ locker room of Lincoln Financial Field. (more…)

Bucs RB Charles Sims makes a ridiculous body-control catch and touchdown late in the first half. (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.)

Joe nearly jumped out of his shoes when he saw Charles Sims haul in a touchdown pass from America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, late in the first half to put the Bucs up 28-14. (more…)
