Bucs QB Baker Mayfield.

Joe notices this from time to time but now we can flush it out with a degree of certainty. (more…)

Better off catching than running.

Back in the third game of the season, the Bucs were undefeated (2-0). That didn’t last long as the defending NFC champion Eagles put a hurting on them at The Licht House. (more…)

Confident.

Joe believes this is significant as it relates to how much money Baker Mayfield will demand and/or command in free agency.

His contract expires after this season.

True colors?

Warning to weak-stomached Buccaneers fans. Remove sharp objects from reach when reading the following.

Hide the remote control. Tell the kids to cover their ears. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

In September, the Eagles looked like the defending NFC champs they were when they pounded the Bucs on Monday Night Football. (more…)

Joe has trouble getting a read on the Bucs defense. The pass defense has been miserable too often and the edge rush isn’t what it used to be.

But the run defense has had many excellent games, turnovers have been forced at a good rate and the Bucs don’t allow a lot of points. (more…)

Not practicing.

So the Bucs hit the practice fields outside of One Buc Palace today and there was a notable player who wasn’t between the white lines. (more…)

Studs.

Friends, we better savor what Bucs fans have for maybe just one more game. (more…)

Not a one-man offense.

Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales is getting a lot of chatter about being a head coach someday. The Stinking Panthers have already reached.

There could be more invites. (more…)

How hurt?

Man, this video doesn’t look good. (more…)

Strong start; wore down last week.

Really cool video of one of the picks nailed by Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht in his 2023 draft and rookie undrafted free agent class, (more…)

It almost reminds Joe of Lovie Smith’s Bears in 2012 going 7-1 and finishing 10-6. (more…)

Interesting chatter from a plugged in NFL insider. (more…)

Antoine Winfield gets props.

Eff the Pro Bowl. You got “The Belt,” son! (more…)

Todd Bowles’ handpicked offensive coordinator is about to enter new territory. (more…)

Conundrum.

According to a Philadelphia-based NFL columnist for CBS, unless Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales finds magic pixie dust for his run game, or unless he goes against his inner soul and goes pass-happy, the Bucs are doomed. (more…)

Adapting to playoff intensity.

So this week will be eye-opening for five Bucs starters. (more…)
