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 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…)

Dominating in this stat.

Any other quarterback and all the hollering shows on national TV and national sports radio shows wouldn’t shut up about the guy. (Instead, we are beat in the mouth about Aaron Rodgers and the GD Jets.) (more…)

“Mr. Glazer, look at the final seven games on our schedule.”

Joe watched bad football this afternoon as the Cowboys visited Atlanta. (more…)

Proud of his hires.
