Bucs playcaller Dave Canales.

They’re gushing at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Injury report.

So today’s injury report was released as the Bucs prepare for a win-and-they’re-in game with the slimy Saints. A key cog to the offense didn’t practice.

Bucs receiver Chris Godwin has been nursing a sore knee and the Bucs gave him a day off as his injury was listed as “knee/rest.” Godwin had the same rest day last week.

Godwin joined Bucs sacks king outside linebacker Shaq Barrett (groin), corner Carlton Davis (concussion) and tight end Ko Kieft (shoulder) as Bucs players not on the practice field.

One and done?

When a team succeeds and a key member of its coaching staff has a nice body of work with successful starters — especially quarterbacks — it’s no shock to see said coach’s name floated as a head coaching candidate. (more…)

Interesting chatter between two former superstar receivers this week. (more…)

Blue-collar town, blue-collar team.

While they still boast a few stars, the 2023 Buccaneers have won the region over with a one-for-all attitude that helped them persevere through a horrendous midseason slide that would have doomed this franchise in years gone by. Tampa Bay took on adversity head on and never whined about injuries, official’s calls or bad breaks. (more…)

Joe was adamant on preseason Ira Kaufman Podcasts that the Bucs would throw a lot this year because good sense or desperation would prevail no matter how badly Todd Bowles might want to be a run-first team.

And here sits Baker Mayfield with the eighth-most passing attempts in the National Football League. (more…)

Still learning.

The Bucs offense has come a long way. And Bucs left tackle Tristan Wirfs admitted yesterday he’s not yet at home at left tackle. (more…)

Digging Bucs’ win streak.

While the Bucs are getting a little more run in the national media because they are on a four-game winning streak and one win from a division title, the Bucs aren’t exactly media darlings. (more…)

Wins = cash.

Baker Mayfield has become the talk of the NFL in recent weeks after leading the Bucs from the brink of a franchise reboot to the cusp of an unprecedented third-straight NFC South crown and perhaps a 10-win season. (more…)

Don’t cheat Baker.

Look, Joe knows the ilk who vote for “Comeback Player of the Year.” It’s the touchy-feely, don’t-play-football-on-Christmas-because-I-might-have-to-type-words-and-stay-sober-on-my-day-off types. (more…)

Joe has been hard on Todd Bowles for not getting rookie edge rusher YaYa Diaby on the field in place of Joe Tryon-Shoyinka sooner. (more…)

Masterful season.

We could be watching history these next two games. And it’s hard to believe the guy is doing this at his age. (more…)

Still part-time player?

Will Bucs fans see as much Devin White on Sunday as they did against Jacksonville? It depends, Bucs coach Todd Bowles said today. (more…)

Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett.

When Tampa Bay battles for its third consecutive division crown Sunday, it appears they’ll be without Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett. (more…)
