Buccaneers 26, Browns 23
October 21st, 2018
A 3-3 record never felt so weird.
Man, Joe is exhausted. What a hot mess of a freaky and beautiful victory.
Two weeks in a row Dirk Koetter had opportunities to let his best offensive players do what they do best and win the game for the Buccaneers late in the fourth quarter. And each time Koetter thought that was a bad idea — and it bit him in the ass.
But in the end, it was goat-turned-hero Chandler Catanzaro burying a 59-yard field goal today to win in overtime.
The Bucs are the best soap opera in professional football. You just never know what’s next — good or bad.
The Mark Duffner defense was fantastic until Kwon Alexander went down with a knee injury that might be a dreaded ACL tear, per NFL Network. After that, it was as if the ghost of Mike Smith returned to haunt the defense. It just fell apart in all aspects.
America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, was his typical gutsy, hard-fighting self, including his fourth consecutive game with two or more interceptions. Jameis took a step back today from his first start last week. It sure seems like Jameis will always be the bad-decision guy, including needlessly taking a sack late in overtime.
Are the Bucs a good team, or a terrible team? They are what their record says they are, whether you like it or not. They’re in the hunt.
Still, loads of questionable decisions by Koetter late in this game.
Stick with with Joe and Ira Kaufman for plenty of postgame fun.

Another 4th quarter/overtime win for the Bucs and Jameis!!
October 21st, 2018 at 4:53 pm
The Bucs offense are getting worse every week
13 turnovers in 4 weeks
I don’t see a playoff team
October 21st, 2018 at 4:53 pm
They’re in the hunt. Hahahahahahaha
What a mess!
October 21st, 2018 at 4:53 pm
What a sheet show!
October 21st, 2018 at 4:54 pm
I’m really trying hard to be happy about this win!
October 21st, 2018 at 4:54 pm
Headed to the shower to scrub myself down…I feel so dirty!
October 21st, 2018 at 4:54 pm
Won despite Winston.
What a joke of a game.
Pathetic.
Come on homers tell us how Winston is the greatest QB ever.
Today was a prime example how he is not worth 100 million.
ITS THE BROWNS.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:54 pm
Ugly win but its a win….bring on the Bengals….LETS GO!
October 21st, 2018 at 4:54 pm
Would Koettet ever put #fitzmagic back in to save his own job?
October 21st, 2018 at 4:54 pm
can’t blame the game on Winston, Bucs should have won befor ot
October 21st, 2018 at 4:54 pm
🍿
October 21st, 2018 at 4:55 pm
Can’t wait to see how all the FSU Bucs fans defend Jameis for this one.
This guy is not a franchise quarterback. You do realize he was drafted No. 1 overall right? And it’s his 4th year? This guy is a joke.
Oh yeah and Dirk can go too.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:55 pm
Jay-Miss sucked today and he was doing his best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:55 pm
America’s Turnover Machine did everything he could to lose that game.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:55 pm
How can anyone seriously believe Winston is anything but AVERAGE?
October 21st, 2018 at 4:55 pm
This rollercoaster ride of emotions is going to kill me.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:55 pm
Tua 2020
October 21st, 2018 at 4:55 pm
Sticking to my 6-10 preseason prediction. This team is awful; if not playing the Browns, this would end much differently.
Jameis is not our guy, long-term. Inaccurate to a fault, and those last two sacks showed he still has his head up his butt.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:55 pm
We won in spite of Winston not because of him.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:55 pm
Jameis is holding the offense back, O Line looks subpar as a whole. This 3-3 feels like a lucky 3-3.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:56 pm
Im glad we won but man. This team has a lot of questions surrounding them.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:56 pm
…on a brighter note, great game by Spence!
October 21st, 2018 at 4:56 pm
Garbage Bowl lived up to it’s expectations and happy the Bucs came up with the win
October 21st, 2018 at 4:56 pm
The haters out in full force today lol
October 21st, 2018 at 4:56 pm
JW is average, no two ways about it. He can flash if that’s what you’re looking for. But, it you want consistency, just count the INTs, that’s about the closest thing to consistency he has going for himself. There were again, bad plays all across the board. But, I’m tired of ppl making excuses for JW. This is the best you’re gonna get. Live with it or die with Fitz and ignite the offense again. If you can live with JW being mediocre, you can live with Fitz. There’s just more energy when Fitz is playing with same putrid OL, same stellar offensive weapons, and now the running game looks to be improving.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:56 pm
There was no defending him today. He was bad when it matters most.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:57 pm
Mayfield played more technically sound game. You could not tell year one from year four.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:57 pm
Its great to get the win, the Bucs showed a lot of resilience when in seasons past they would’ve lost this type of game,however, i think this Bucs team is not playoff caliber.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:57 pm
They’re not a good team.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:57 pm
I’m not one of the anti-Jameis crowd. But it’s becoming more and more apparent that he just isn’t that guy.
I don’t see a choice but to roll with him the rest of the season, but unless there is significant improvement between now and the end of the season it’s going to be time to think about going in a different direction.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:57 pm
Here we go. Fitzpatrick would have been destroyed if he played today. Jameis is streaky as heck. That interception OT cant happen. But it should never have come to that. Catanzaro you have 1 job. Geez. Why no Barber in the final plays. Wasted play handing it off to Quiz.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:57 pm
Get real joe. this team is a disaster. The bucs got lucky with some rookie brown penalties. Winston being careless with the ball again, this team is not a playoff team.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:57 pm
Haters lol did you watch the game ?
October 21st, 2018 at 4:57 pm
Jameis just looks like he’s still working himself into game shape. He looked fatigued near the end on a blazing hot day. But he gave us every opportunity to win before the couple miscues in OT so how can he be blamed? It’s a team game and our team won. Go Bucs!!!
October 21st, 2018 at 4:57 pm
I’d like to see what Ryan Griffin has the rest of the way, clearly JW is not a franchise QB. He hit his ceiling, this is it.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:58 pm
Please dump Winston.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:58 pm
Put fitz back at qb, that win was just lipstick on a pig. browns offense sucks… joes you gonna do an article this week how OL is pathetic and how bucs DO NOT have a #1 rb? barber prolly back to 2.1 ypc again
October 21st, 2018 at 4:58 pm
I see a team that beat Cleveland in overtime on a 59 yard FG
But I don’t see a playoff team
I’m glad the defense isn’t the ‘Scapegoat’ anymore
October 21st, 2018 at 4:59 pm
Let’s face it; a W is a W. However, this is not a playoff team. Jameis isn’t a franchise QB; still no reliable kicker; the D still stinks to high Heaven; still no running game and the O line is beyond porous.
It’s a huge mess, buts it’s the Bucs.
Cleveland gave them all they could handle and then some. Add to that Kwon’s rumored torn ACL and the Bucs may have forestalled the obvious for a week.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:59 pm
This win has me feeling like a just woke up from a drug and alcohol infused night next to a 300lb chick that I know I did EVEYTHING with. I just feel dirty from this win. I’m about to go do another line, take a shower and burn my cloths. See you fellas later
October 21st, 2018 at 4:59 pm
Jameis played well in the first half and complete garbage late in the second half and OT. Defense stopped every possession in the first and then after a Kwon gone, junk. The goal line stand was beautiful though. Can we trade McCoy now? Better without him.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:59 pm
Jameis sucks
October 21st, 2018 at 4:59 pm
Dirk is Dirk. Cant expect a good coach after 3 lousy years. Questionable decisions by him every week. I was hooing theyd lose this game IF Dirk would be fired tomorrow. Glazers have yet to do that in season so Ill take the win. This team isnt ready to even go 8-8. Cmon Glazers make the move. But this time HIRE A FOOTBALL GUY TO HIRE THE RIGHT DAMM COACH! Last thing I wana see watching the Bucs every week is a HC making peewee football 101 mistakes.
October 21st, 2018 at 4:59 pm
All that matters is the “W”. Nothing else matters.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:00 pm
How will be able to compete against a good team? DAMN Winstow dont u ever learn
October 21st, 2018 at 5:00 pm
Cue the Benny Hill theme
October 21st, 2018 at 5:00 pm
This team is a tragedy and tried everything possible to lose. Only the Browns would want to lose more today. Guess Koetter gets another week….
October 21st, 2018 at 5:00 pm
Complete sukfest
October 21st, 2018 at 5:00 pm
They’re in the hunt…Joe said so.
Winston sucks!10
October 21st, 2018 at 5:00 pm
I’m one of the biggest JW fans, but c’mon man !!!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:00 pm
Effing kickers !?!?!
JW made a couple bad throws, one was intercepted in overtime and then holding onto the ball for 25 seconds to take the sack in overtime. That was ridiculous. And I am a big JW fan, but get your head out of your asssss!!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:00 pm
Start Fitz next week
October 21st, 2018 at 5:00 pm
Why is the play calling not effective now. Same guy calling plays as first 3
Uhhmmmm
Maybe it’s jameis ?
Doesn’t trust arm so runs for first down now
Not accurate
Stares down receivers
Zero down field throws.
Turns ball over every game.
You have to game plan on how he is playing now cause he is a roller coaster
No way you can give this guy 100 mil.
And call me a hater if you want. Not good enough for number 1 pick and just tired of the messiah worshippers making excuse after excuse Bucs win and Jameis gets credit. Bucs lose and everyone else fault
October 21st, 2018 at 5:00 pm
The Browns aren’t the old Browns, their defense is really good, shut down Brees, ever heard of him, 365 yards with no running game, a horrible offensive line, and Klueless as his coach
October 21st, 2018 at 5:01 pm
Bucsfan951– But if we lost this game it would be that scenario plus she’s pregnant. Could have been worse.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:01 pm
I am also starting to think if they could get some serious pics for McCoy, maybe it is time to trade him
October 21st, 2018 at 5:02 pm
IMO, the defense turned into the old buc D in the 4th. JW wasnt great but he wasnt bad either. Some of the playcalling in OT was bad. they had ample time to try some run play instead they try to get cute with an end around and proceed to kill the drive. This team needs a average run game very badly!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:02 pm
Man you people sure do love some negativity! At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if we won 59-0 or 26-23 the win still counts the same. On the bright side, defense made baby steps in getting better and maybe CAT will gain some confidence and get it together.
Oh well, at least we can still be known as Cleveland South, not the new Cleveland Browns.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:02 pm
Who’s next? 🙂
October 21st, 2018 at 5:02 pm
I think we need to give a Greg Williams coach defense a little bit more credit they got players all over the place that’s a good defensive team. Yes, Jameis was bad today!!! But stop it haters the kid is 24 yrs old by the time he’s 28 he’ll be what we want him to be a flat out star in this league!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:03 pm
I guess it is a positive that Barber had 2.7 ypc to improve his season average.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:03 pm
Earth to BBonzai: where are you at, fellow educated loyal fan? I am about to choke certain people who hold power over these players. When will I see the offense blossom? Sure ain’t gonna happen with the idiot coaches calling the shots. And the ownership???? Gag!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:03 pm
I have to say, I am falling off the Winston bandwagon. Enough time has elapsed to make a ruling. When he needs to be great, he is not. He does not have the ability to play the game between his ears, meaning he does not become cool and deadly. Quite the opposite. Between his fumbles and interceptions, the other team will always be in the game. I wouldn’t drop a huge contract on Winston after this year. He is a marginal QB who is going to yield marginal results. If Fitz was playing today, Bucs would have won by 14 points.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:03 pm
Everyone wants to blame Winston. He gave an NFL kicker the chance to win it with a 40 yarder!!! That should be a gimmie!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:03 pm
WAIT! DID I JUST SEE A GOAL LINE STAND!!! SHIVER ME TIMBERS!!!!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:03 pm
c-spann–The nature of our passing game with JW is that teams do not have to respect the deep ball. They can play man deep and JW is going to miss wide open receivers and muck up the back shoulder throw the vast majority of the time.
You want a better run game, put Fitz back in.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:04 pm
Joe, quick question, would you trade JW for Baker right now straight up?
October 21st, 2018 at 5:04 pm
Defense isn’t the scapegoat? They gave up 14 friggin points in the 4th quarter.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:04 pm
Jeez Jameis played terrible today. Some Winston homer who’s arguing with me on Twitter said “oh he threw for 400+ yards”. Like the 2ints, 1 strip fumble, 1 botched snap and multiple bad sacks weren’t anything
October 21st, 2018 at 5:04 pm
The offense overall today sucked today. Drops by Evans, Hump, Brate and a huge one by Howard. Donovan Smith got worked over today. The running game was horrible and Jameis made some fantastic plays and some mind numbing plays. But we won and that’s all the haters have been asking for so they should all be happy tight?
October 21st, 2018 at 5:04 pm
hot mess indeed…
but a win’s a win…
and catanzarro live’s for another week…if he missed he would have been the first monday team casualty
October 21st, 2018 at 5:04 pm
Why didn’t HC trust his 1st rd. pick to win the game in regulation and chose to put his money on an untrustworthy kiker? Is it possible that the coach himself can’t trust winston that much? How low can you go??
October 21st, 2018 at 5:04 pm
The win is good
But the turnovers keep piling up
You can’t turn the ball over 13 times in 4 weeks
There is absolutely no excuse for it
It’s bad football
October 21st, 2018 at 5:04 pm
JabooBuc–If I were Jason Light I would break my arm trying to sign that trade so fast.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:05 pm
A bad football team beat a truly awful team today. Barely.
The Bucs are nowhere near being a playoff-caliber team. What’s worse, there is no discernible path to being a playoff-caliber team with this GM, head coach and QB.
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. What behaviors have Jason Licht, Dirk Koetter and James Winston ever demonstrated in the past that would lead you to believe they are capable of building and leading an NFL franchise to the Super Bowl?
October 21st, 2018 at 5:05 pm
My View:
I don’t care how we won. We needed badly to win and we did.
They defense was better. A little bit better.
They was I see it, the win buys us another week to fix the problems. We have the talent, so things should get better.
Our kicker has to be replaced, regardless of the fact that he won the game. If he had made his earlier stuff, we would not have gone into overtime at all.
The Browns defense looked pretty good to me. They are on their way out of the basement, so I don’t feel bad that we barely beat them. They have the makings of a really good team for the near future.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:05 pm
put fitz back in he wouldnt miss djax wide open, pretty apparent jameis is not who the joes try to tell us he is
October 21st, 2018 at 5:06 pm
I’m always happy to get a win. And the defense did look better minus the evil that dare not speak its name. But when is enough going to be enough with continuing to play Winston? He’s averaging 2+ turnovers a game, makes terrible decisions under pressure, and struggles to make routine plays. Deshaun Jackson having only 2 catches the entire game, which were both in overtime, should tell you all that’s needed. Until they make a change at QB1, we’ll continue to be a cautionary tale. Fitzpatrick needs to play next week no matter what.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:06 pm
Jameis is so clutch, putting them in field goal range at the end of the 4th quarter to win the game and then hitting that clutch pass to DJax to set up the game winner…AGAIN. #3 took another step towards that contract extension today. Go Bucs!!!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:06 pm
Why was Rodgers on the field at the end? Just because this website ignores the important issues doesn’t mean the fans do.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:06 pm
We will take it!! I’m so conditioned by my Bucs. I had no faith we would win in the end. But we did despite Jameis. And we actually had a DC roamin the sidelines exhorting his troops on instead of being in the pressbox doin research for NASA’s
next planetary expedition. The D played a little better today. And our Jicker redeemed himself..somewhat. GOOD WIN.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:07 pm
Contract extension? lmao. He is lucky he isn’t benched. Hahaha.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:09 pm
I wish I could post images in here – I would show everyone how people that are not Bucs or Winston fans view him and a supposed Franchise QB.
Hahahahaha
I’m sure that’s “hating too”.
Only Bucs fans Hahahaha
Ever heard of Byron Leftwich but with Steroids; that’s winston.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:09 pm
Jesus you clowns bucs fans are hysterical. How many drives killed by drops today? I cant count at least 4. And in regulation he did EXACTLY what he was supposed to do and drive us for the game winning fg and we missed. His overtime was rough no defending that, that sack was brutal. But you all asking for a new qb haven’t watched a down of college football because there isnt any coming out period. Get over yourselves. And let me guess that strip sack ,which took all of 2.02 second and was the 5th fastet in the NFL was his fault. He was literary still dropping back. On a side note DeSean needs to go one or two plays without pouting. Although I laugh it the still clueless fitz fans. Hell never start unless Jameis gets hurt. Move on already.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:10 pm
You’re right Joe, it just seems Jameis is just never going to get it or at least not until he’s 30 on his 3rd team. To be fair he did everything he needed to to get them down to a 40 yard attempt in regulation. But those 2 sacks back to back killed. What’s so disappointing is you see the talent on the field all over the place. I love the Nassib pickup, the defense responded well until the end and made plays when they needed to outside of 2 drives at the end of the 4th. Catanzarro would have been cut had he not hit the 59 yarder. Caleb Bennenonch is terrible and needs to be replaced as soon as possible. I’d be thrilled if Jason Licht used anything from a second round pick and down to acquire a quality replacement at both guard and corner. I hope Beckwith can get back on the field soon. I like the bigger body guy at MLB anyways.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:10 pm
I was pleasantly surprised with this Defense. It was unrecognizable to the last few weeks.
Jameis played decent but those INTs were just awful. Right to the defenders, Idk what he was looking at.
People want to discredit his stats and point to wins and losses and now the same people are pointing to stats to prove their Jameis hate and ignoring the critical win.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:12 pm
Anyone that has a TINY amount of football knowledge
Knows that this is not a playoff team
Unless they fix the turnover problem
This is not hate
This is COMMON SENSE
October 21st, 2018 at 5:12 pm
@bigdaddio
And JW still got the team in position to win! 2 times!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:12 pm
Amazing how they replace defensive coordinator and defense is 100 pct better.
Maybe if they replace Offensive line coach and running backs coach they’ll get similar results .
Watched some of Bears vs Patriots – both qb’s had all day to throw ball.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:12 pm
I couldn’t watch OT….went to the garage and finished a project….
Another STAT for the Stat Carriers…
October 21st, 2018 at 5:13 pm
A lot of QBs have struggled with the Browns D. See Ben Rothlesberger in the opener and that was with James Connor running for 135 yards. Rivers was 11 for 20 but they ran the hell out of the ball.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:13 pm
We might need to organize a full-blown Fan Revolt until they start Fitzmagic…
October 21st, 2018 at 5:14 pm
SilverBuc
Idk what you’re smoking, but I want some!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:14 pm
When they lose everyone on here complains, when they win everyone on here….complains??? Ummmm okay.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:14 pm
Not going to become a super bowl contender with Magoo at the helm. He can’t hit a deep ball to save his life, and he is gonna get Brate killed one day cause he is inaccurate at any range. He is darn lucky he hit Djax on that final pass because taking those two sacks was rookie mistake. Magoo is not a franchise qb.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:14 pm
If Cat kicks the first FG, we’re talking about what a great game Jameis played. If O.J. catches the perfect pass to get a first down and go up two scores, we’re talking about a great team win.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:14 pm
Remember the 400 yard offensive juggernaut Bucs ?….the talent is there at every offensive position but QB
October 21st, 2018 at 5:14 pm
It sure felt like a loss.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:15 pm
I’ll say it right here as a black man myself who grew up in Tampa. The rednecks came out of their trailers in Seffner and Plantcity when Doug Williams was booted out of Tampa. Now the sons of those rednecks are back and now you have social media to speak behind. No one can convince me otherwise it’s not a FSU thing, it’s not 2 int’s A game thing. It’s a racial issue. Ban me for life or delete this post. Don’t care!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:16 pm
Winston should be converted to a running back and put Fitz back in as QB. Some totally bonehead plays by Winston. I haven’t seen how he has grown at all as a QB this year. Dodged a HUGE bullet this game. You can’t depend on other teams consistantly giving you first downs when your offense can’t do it on your own. Sloppy game by both teams but— ITS A WIN, Now let’s clean it up and start playing the football we are capable of. GO BUCS!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:16 pm
Jameis is such a team player, trusting his kicker AGAIN to hit a game winner by hitting that out rout to #11, instead of putting it in the end zone.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:16 pm
Two poor teams. Cleveland poorly coached on offense in the first half ultimately lost them the game.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:17 pm
Need to start a JoeBucsWhine site.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:17 pm
The Bucs and Jameis ate a nice juicy W today, nom nom nom!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:17 pm
What are you guys watching, JW has maybe 1 sec every snap, oline sucked today.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:18 pm
James Walker
People have been whining about the defense for 10 years.
So what’s the difference?
October 21st, 2018 at 5:19 pm
Ryan Fitzpatrick needs to save dirks job, Jameis will be a New York giant by the end of the year.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:19 pm
Win is a Win! This isn’t high school, Cleveland has got talent and Bucs won and Winston did great and not so great. Same with every QB in the league. They won when there backs were against the wall. Great Job Bucs!! On to the next one.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:19 pm
People have always whined on this site
But it’s only a problem
When they whine about the wrong player, unit
October 21st, 2018 at 5:19 pm
Gambelero
Jameis is a No.1 overall pick in his 4th year and if you thought he played “great” in this game even before the OT interception and sacks taken you are a fool.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:19 pm
I’d take mayfield over Winston in a heartbeat
October 21st, 2018 at 5:20 pm
Winston sucks. Too many stupid mistakes. Too many bad throws. Too many sacks at crucial times. He can’t hit Jackson. He looks like a damn rookie.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:21 pm
Haha
Bucs lose… Cut Winston, all his stats are garbage time
Bucs Win… Cut Winston, he didn’t have enough stats
He had a good game last week and we lost. He had a bad game other than running this week and we won. Maybe, just maybe, you need to be able to run the ball and play some defense in the NFL to win no matter who the QB is. Call me crazy.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:22 pm
Hey KNoxviille Buc fan: Why bring race into it? That card is out of date man. I’m black and grew up near Lakeland and sure there are racist but trust me, my best friends were white rednecks . Quit drinking the Liberal Kool-Aid. By the way, true racist don’t watch any football because there most players are black. They don’t just pick one dude out if there true racist.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:23 pm
@knoxville
You’re a racist. Stfu you fool. Winston is not an elite QB. So stfu you racist.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:24 pm
Jay-Miss is not the quarterback of the future. The sooner the team figures that out, the better this team will be in the future.
The next coach and GM will not want Jay-Miss.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:24 pm
Jameis haters tears taste so good tonight!!! “Stats don’t mean sh/t, only wins matter!!” Jameis leads his team to a W tonight, haters cry!! Hahaha !!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:25 pm
If they talk about giving Jameis an extension, someone needs to put this game on before they do so. It’s JW in a nutshell and it’s not flattering. Too many mistakes for a franchise qb. Not worth $100 million.

Knoxville thats a super weak post that ppl cant say winston sucks wout being racist? GTFOH…. trent dilfer sucked too & winston is trent dilfer 2.0
October 21st, 2018 at 5:26 pm
Winston isn’t the man that’s obvious to anyone with a brain. Docent have the accuracy and smarts
October 21st, 2018 at 5:26 pm
James Winston has 5 TD, 6 INT
Fitz has 11 TD, 5 INT
This is all that matter
October 21st, 2018 at 5:27 pm
Hey scotty. the Defense did NOT give up 30 points today. Where the hell is the high powered offense with the #WeaponsforWinston? It should have never been this close to begin with.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:28 pm
I think much of the problem we have with Magoo is him being a no. 1 pick, and not meeting our expectations. I think we were expecting him be a Brees, Brady, Roethlisberger level qb right out the gate. Whether he will get there or not is to be seen. Many say his numbers are good in comparison to where they were year 4, but much of Magoo’s numbers in previous seasons came during garbage time in 3rd and 4th quarters when game was lost. With him we can win, only if the rest of the team plays well. As far as a comeback type qb like Favre, Wilson, or Manning, Magoo is still too inaccurate.

DBS
They should have beat Atlanta last week
This offense is a FLUKE
There I said it
October 21st, 2018 at 5:29 pm
Before we go all crazy on the QB, how many drives did he sustain? Why did the Browns get the ball back twice? How did we GET to overtime? Point being, Browns are better than you “fans” thought and IT IS A TEAM GAME. Get over you petty biases and you’ lol see that. And I don’t care who is the QB and I didn’t go to FRIGGIN FSU. OBTW, this is week 7…we’re still in the hunt. Stop trying to convince yourself and everyone on this site that a win is something other than a win and that we’re not still in the hunt. One week at a time. Go Bucs!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:30 pm
This game was so funny that even I don’t care if America’s thug ate a W. What a comedy of two ridiculous teams
October 21st, 2018 at 5:30 pm
Knuckleheadknoxville…..Doug Williams was great…Jameis sucks !
October 21st, 2018 at 5:32 pm
Lakeland
They just might have if they got rid of Mike Smith sooner.
There I said it.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:32 pm
Take off your garnet and gold glasses and really look at Jay Miss objectively. First of all, with all the off field problems, he can never be trusted. Second, he is inaccurate. There is no way to fix that. He’s in his 4th year and he’s going to get his receivers killed. He can’t even throw a simple dump off pass. Everything is high. He runs like a giraffe that was just born. He holds onto the ball too long resulting in sacks. Maybe we are stuck holding onto him for next year so we can suck again. I say, “Suck for Tua in 2020!” This team ain’t going anywhere except swirling around the bowl.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:33 pm
Lot of angry fans after a win…Bucs fans always going to complain
October 21st, 2018 at 5:34 pm
Bad game overall by Jameis but he still led the team to a overtime win, this team is on an upward trajectory!! Go Bucs!!!!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:35 pm
PS: Winston IS the Bucs franchise QB. He’s worth what he gets paid by the people paying him. Is that anyone in this site? Your money? And did you see anything good about this game? Easy one: Nassib. Remember that when you’re teasing the GM and all of his moves. Go Bucs!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:36 pm
Winston is a backup caliber qb. Turnover prone. And not clutch.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:36 pm
So many drops by the receivers today, could’ve been an easy win smh
October 21st, 2018 at 5:38 pm
Reach….we ain’t hunting anything with this team man.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:38 pm
Alvin, how many yards/TDS did the giraffe get today? How many first downs? Get real. He sucks because he runs funny. WE GOT THE WIN! Go Bucs!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:39 pm
Jameis is so cool under pressure, you knew he would get them in position to win…. AGAIN. Mr. Clutch with a “C”
October 21st, 2018 at 5:39 pm
MAYFIELD > WINSTON
October 21st, 2018 at 5:40 pm
Ronteco, I’m with ya. Sad. You’d think this was a Falcons site. Go Bucs!
October 21st, 2018 at 5:42 pm
He’s not a team captain for a reason. He’s not a leader.
James Winston: 5 TD, 6 INT, 0 Player of the Week awards.
Ryan Fitzpatrick: 11 TD, 5 INT, 2 Player of the Week awards.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:55 pm
I am ready to call it quits with this site. It’s supposed to be joebucsfan. Why aren’t more of them/fans on here? I have been a devoted fan for, count them, 39 years. My MIL turned me on to the Bucs. She was a hardcore football fan. There’s a lot of hot air on here which needs to be edited/deleted out. When is that gonna happen, joes?
October 21st, 2018 at 5:58 pm
You can’t be a buc fan if your upset by a win. Winston was way above average his second interception came in overtime after James drove down the field to put us in position to win the game. Get upset with our kicker not jameis. But you get upset remember we won lol #patheticbucfans
October 21st, 2018 at 5:58 pm
Jameis is now tied with Mike Glennon for batted balls
October 21st, 2018 at 6:02 pm
orlbucfan
My only complaint is the turnovers
And with Cincinnati, Carolina, Washington coming up
They need to fix that problem NOW
October 21st, 2018 at 6:08 pm
Winston = Leftwich
October 21st, 2018 at 6:11 pm
WalkdaPlank, I’m smoking that W tonight!!! Don’t cry too much, it’s just a game!
October 21st, 2018 at 6:17 pm
The game was good, anyway the Bucs win to ease the tension slightly.
October 21st, 2018 at 6:17 pm
Can’t we all just enjoy a game lol
October 21st, 2018 at 6:24 pm
Two decidedly below average teams and one somehow won.
October 21st, 2018 at 6:36 pm
@knoxville I’m going to assume you barely graduated Highschool with a stupid comment you just posted on here about OUR QB being black and that’s why fans are so critical of him ?? I think you were just trying to get a reaction, but it just shows how out of touch you are !! Doug Williams is a legend just like Coach Dungy and I and others don’t judge someone by the color of their skin. JW ( the number 1 pick ) has regressed and his play has shown why he’s not worthy of a 100 million dollar contract. So much more to life than football and this country has way more important things going on, but yet you play the race card for absolutely no reason. Your ignorance is unwarranted and I hope you never post on here again !!! Start Fitz and pray we can get a shot at TUA because he’s the best QB I’ve ever seen in college and truly believe he will have a HOF career in the NFL and he’s exactly what the our team needs !!! He’s a born leader, throws a gorgeous ball, and has every attribute you look for at that position. I wish JW3 all the best, but I guarantee he will not be a BUC much longer .. oh a Knoxville I will pray for you because you need all the prayers you can get
October 21st, 2018 at 6:37 pm
Kevin Pamphile ended up going on the IR for the Titans, but even on IR he’d be more effective than Evan Smith playing.
October 21st, 2018 at 6:59 pm
Lakeland. I do not think the offense is a fluke. It has loads of talent and performed well under Fitz. Jameis makes great plays but also idiotic errors and to be honest the talent drops a lot of Jameis’ passes. The kicker can not jake a 40 yarder at the end of regulation period. Bucs would be 4-2 if Koetter canned Smith after the Chicago game. Typical Bucs game but it was a W. Hopefully no more posts from TMax2/reality about Cleveland being superior to Bucs as today the Bucs tried to lose it and somehow the Browns refused the gift. A win is a win….
October 21st, 2018 at 7:29 pm
Jason Koetter needs to go I’m tired of em and his bad drafting we need to clean house
October 21st, 2018 at 8:59 pm
Game balls have to go to JPP, Nassib and Carlton Davis. Defense looked different than the other 5 games. Receivers were contested and they showed different looks that weren’t the predictable stuff we saw under Smith.
Offense is regressing badly, Chris Godwin was compromised physically by throws that a veteran quarterback wouldn’t make as he had to stretch and jump into defenders that could have destroyed him.
It’s hard to believe that Jameis can’t lay a ball with any touch. Playing against Matt Ryan and Drew Bree’s twice a year you would love to see some of their kills rub off on him.
October 22nd, 2018 at 2:48 am
holy heck jameis haters are crazy as ever
if we had a kicker who could hit an XP, we win in regulation
none of this is on jameis
