Tight-lipped about incident.

So it still seems to be a mystery what exactly got into Stinking Panthers safety Sam Franklin after Sunday’s game with the Bucs. (more…)

Pro Bowl running back?

This is absolutely wild to Joe. (more…)

“Step it up, Cade.”

Joe’s got faith in Bucs No. 1 tight end Cade Otton, but it’s slipping away slightly, much like balls slip through Otton’s hands too often this season. (more…)

Joe doesn’t get too crazy about these Player of the Week/Month awards.

They’re cool, but heck, Sean Tucker got one and Mike Glennon was once NFC Rookie of the Month. (more…)

So Bucs officials have verbalized that Mike Evans’ injured hamstring is 100 percent healthy and Evans has a green light on the field — even though the deep shot to Evans seems to be out of the offense. (more…)

Defensive usage explained.

So on Sunday, when the Bucs played man-to-man defense against Stinking Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, he struggled mightily. (more…)

Pro Bowl quarterback Baker Mayfield squares up Sunday against future Hall of Fame Raiders QB Aiden O’Connell at The Licht House for a 1 o’clock kickoff. (more…)

This was uplifting and discouraging all at the same time. (more…)

Very insightful stuff here from the Panthers with different looks at the Adam Thielen touchdown catch that wasn’t on Sunday. (more…)

Motivated by rookie teammate.

If the NFL season ended today, Joe doesn’t know if there would be a better story for the Bucs than rookie running back Bucky Irving. (more…)

The shadow lurks.

A lot of Bucs fans are banking on a wet-toilet-paper-soft schedule in the final five games will vault the Bucs to the playoffs and perhaps even an NFC South title. (more…)

It almost seems sacrilegious to suggest that Bucs running back Bucky Irving is better than Eagles stud running back Saquon Barkley. But he may be. (more…)

Injury update.

The returning Bucs championship safeties have had rotten luck in their second go-around with their old team. (more…)

So former Bucs tight end Cameron Brate was on the field for great running back play in his career, including Doug Martin’s mindblowing rookie Pro Bowl season (2015), the 2020 edition of Ronald Jones and the magical spurts of Leonard “Playoff Lenny” Fournette. (more…)
