Another Pro Bowl.

When the Pro Bowl rosters were announced earlier this evening, one name was a total no-brainer. (more…)

Injury report.

While naturally the starting quarterback not being able to practice four days before a do-or-die game will get much of the attention, other Bucs also could not go today. (more…)

Numbers can lie sometimes, but not this time. (more…)

Bucs QB Kyle Trask.

The pressure may be on. (more…)

Status in question.

Sunday will be the season’s most important game. The Bucs at Carolina will decide if the Bucs are a playoff team or if it’s time to bolt to the Dominican Republic. The Bucs may have to turn to a man who has never started an NFL game: Kyle Trask. (more…)

Coaching carousel chatter.

People mocked Joe for suggesting last week Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales might get a head coaching job next season. (more…)

Odd take from Todd Bowles yesterday. (more…)

“Dave, how about running behind Mauch here.”

Every team will hand off, so teams have every incentive to be good at rushing the football.

However, running is losing its importance. Consider the following eye-opening stat that hasn’t been soiled yet by the stat nerds. (more…)

Breaks down Bucs-Panthers.

Looking at the Bucs-Stinking Panthers game on Sunday, Hall of Fame general manager Bill Polian seems to think this game is a major mismatch in the Bucs’ favor. (more…)

“I’m watching you, Baker!”

Recently, Joe heard former Bucs quarterback Tom Brady said he doesn’t have a favorite team, though he watches a lot of NFL (and his Wolverines, too). (more…)

Toast.

Joe knows a bunch of Bucs fans still pine for somehow, someway, Dalvin Cook coming to the Bucs. He is, you may have heard, looking for work after the Jets washed their hands of him. (more…)

He was open.

An apology to Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales may be in order. (more…)

Will be “ready” for Carolina.

Joe understands the following won’t be comforting news to all Bucs (?) fans. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

By any objective, rational accounts, the Bucs knocked it out of the park with their 2023 draft class and undrafted free agents signings. (more…)

“Look, Mr. Glazer, there are many reasons I see a glass half-full.”

It’s easy to want to launch furniture at the state of the Buccaneers following that groin-stomp of a loss Sunday to the slimy Saints. The Bucs looked lifeless for too much of that huge game. (more…)

“Kyle, we endured this twice together. I don’t think it’ll happen again.”

Not since Tom Brady crapped the bed last season against the Bengals at The Licht House — 2 interceptions and 2 lost fumbles in a span of 10 offensive plays — have the Bucs had four turnovers in a game like they did on Sunday.
(more…)

Was Bucs coach Todd Bowles happy with how his team played on Sunday?

He wasn’t happy with anything about it. (more…)

Former Bucs guard/center Ali Marpet.

Joe always enjoys when a former NFL player, coach or executive decides enough time has past that a truth about his or her former team can be revealed safely. (more…)

Doomed?

Yes, Joe is confident the Bucs will win Sunday at Charlotte (if the Bucs lose to the worst team in the NFL on the final weekend of the regular season, well, then it’s a very different discussion on Monday morning.) (more…)
