Roller coaster defense.

OK, Joe is still gritting his teeth and kicking an empty 12-pack box across the office at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters over how the Bucs blew a critical division win on Thursday night. (more…)

Strong 2024.

So there’s an interesting voice who was Baker Mayfield’s offensive coordinator in Cleveland and a coaching colleague of Todd Bowles in Dallas under Bill Parcells. (more…)

Numbers keep rolling in.

When your name keeps popping up in the same paragraph as the great Jerry Rice, you know you’re doing something right. (more…)

“Baker, how bout I talk to you right here with your clothes on?”

So the NFL players’ union is barking loudly about immediately ending having media in locker rooms after or before midweek practices and conducting interviews there.

Player representatives say it’s an archaic practice considering players often are temporarily nude while changing clothes. (more…)

Leaving impressions.

Former Bucs offensive lineman and assistant offensive line coach A.Q. Shipley seems to be a real fan of Bucs right guard Cody Mauch. (more…)

More than 24 hours after the Bucs’ debacle in Atlanta, Joe isn’t  just depressed about the 36-30 Bucs loss. Joe is p!ssed off! (more…)

Jamel Dean immediately popped off Falcons receiver Drake London after making this tackle.

So late in the fourth quarter last night when the Bucs defense tried to hold a three-point lead to keep the Falcons (who had used all their timeouts) out of field goal range, Tampa Bay was 1 second shy of completing the task. (more…)

If anyone wasn’t aware that K.J. Britt is not an every-down inside linebacker, last night’s game revealed that to America. (more…)

SirVocea Dennis down for some time.

Deflating forecast for Bucs inside linebacker SirVocea Dennis. And this coming from Bucs coach Todd Bowles. (more…)

So formerly invisible defensive tackle Logan Hall had two sacks last night, building on his first sack of the season on Sunday.
