Bucs GM Jason Licht

The Bucs sure are a tale of two sides of the ball.

(more…)

Chiefs quarterback Pat Mahomes runs away from Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and YaYa Diaby.

Even though Joe barfed watching the Bucs gag last night’s game away, Joe is still banging on his keyboard at 5 a.m.  (more…)

Hall of Fame QB Troy Aikman.

A man with three rings to his name couldn’t believe how Bucs coach Todd Bowles left the back door open for the alley cat to get in and tear apart the living room. (more…)

“Jameis, predicting a Todd Bowles’ move is easier than guessing when you will throw a pick.”

Ryan Fitzpatrick called it. (more…)

Surprised.

Joe is very confident that as Joe is typing this here story at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, there are Bucs fans still awake, unable to go to bed so peeved that Bucs coach Todd Bowles played it safe instead of going for the knockout punch in a loss to the Pat Mahomes-led Chiefs in rainy Kansas City. (more…)

Was Todd Bowles burned by numbers?

Joe is still trying to wrap his head around the first answer Bucs coach Todd Bowles gave for not going for the jugular on the road in one of the toughest NFL cribs to play in. (more…)

Called out.

Joe can’t ever remember Todd Bowles publicly pointing a finger at a defensive player during a halftime interview of a prime time game. But that happened tonight. (more…)

Players have his back.

The answers really didn’t surprise Joe. Still, Joe wanted to know what went through the minds of two offensive skill position players in the Bucs’ locker room after the game. (more…)

Star is born?

Who knew something good could come out of something horrible? But it seems that’s what has happened with Bucs tight end Cade Otton — and he’s not happy about it. (more…)

Buccaneers manbeast defensive tackle Vita Vea recorded multiple career highs tonight against a strong Chiefs offensive line. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Joe has to admit, Todd Bowles’ answer didn’t make sense. And when Joe asked a follow-up to get a clearer picture, it still didn’t make a ton of sense. (more…)

 

When is the last time a team had a losing record through nine games after throwing 23 touchdown passes against nine interceptions — with a strong running game?

Joe will guess it’s never happened in the history of the NFL until now. (more…)

Todd Bowles

Joe would love to know what the Buccaneers’ analytics team advised after the Bucs scored a touchdown late in the fourth quarter tonight to cut the Chiefs’ lead to 24-23 with 27 seconds remaining. (more…)

Bucs fans are irate. (more…)

Well, the Bucs had plenty of chances to seize tonight’s game against the Super Bowl champs. But the run defense imploded, the offense had some hiccups and the Chiefs owned the biggest moments.

Ballgame. (more…)

Huge game for our beloved Bucs. It’s a wet Monday Night Football contest in Kansas City, winners of 13 straight.

Bucs win and they stun the NFL world. Bucs lose and they drop to a sad 4-5 record.

Comment all game long right here. Be nice. And come back through the wee hours for plenty out of this critical game. Go Bucs!

Joe Tryon-Shoyinka

So two former Buccaneers took their shots at Joe Tryon-Shoyinka in the past week. (more…)

With apologies to Giants rookie fifth-round pick Tyrone Tracy, Bucky Irving has been the best rookie running back in the NFL season. (more…)

Game 9

Bucs (4-4) at Chiefs (7-0) 

Kickoff: 8:15 p.m.

TV: BSPN (WFTS-TV Channel 28 locally) with Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters.

(more…)

How to defense Pat Mahomes?

Pat Mahomes will go down as having one of the greatest arms for a quarterback in NFL history.

But it is a different element of his game that as Bucs outside linebacker YaYa Diaby worried. (more…)

Proud of Bucs’ front-five.

Ever since right tackle Luke Goedeke returned to the starting lineup after being in concussion jail, the Bucs’ offensive line has taken a massive step forward. (more…)

Joe hasn’t checked in on Gerald McCoy yet, but is there any high-profile analyst out there thinking the Bucs can win tonight in Kansas City? (more…)

Gone.

It seems the slimy Saints are spiraling so badly — as if losing to the Stinking Panthers wasn’t a tip off — they pulled the plug on Dennis Allen. (more…)

So the Bucs head to face the undefeated but vulnerable Super Bowl champs tonight in what Tampa Bay players should feel is a must-win, break-our-losing streak matchup. (more…)
