    Great Podcast!

  2. Daniel Dream Says:

    first play of the game, the refs already bailing the ratbirds out, lol

  3. Daniel Dream Says:

    To be honest, and i hope I’m not being overconfident, but i could care less what the falcons do because I really do not think they have a chance at catching up to us in the division. I really don’t. I have faith in the Bucs to keep taking care of business so its irrelevant what Atl do IMHO

  4. orlbucfan Says:

    I hope Atlanta wins cos I remember the raw deal the Glazer Boyz forced Raheem Morris into back a few decades ago. The Glazer trust fund kids were over in England, and infatuated with Manchester United.

  5. Woodman Says:

    Well go be a Atlanta fan you idiot. You ain’t no Bucs fan you are just a troll. You are the weakest link.

  6. Aqualung Says:

    woodbrain – seek help. Seriously. Now you’re picking on one of your own and you have no clue. Really – you’re off your meds or something

  7. Daniel Dream Says:

    To be honest i must admit i have such Josh Allen fatigue i was actually rooting for the ratbirds to hang on lol. All the pundits who cast shade on our week 1 nailbiting win, well, that’s lookin kinda good in the power rankings now. I really would not be surprised if Atl was able to sneak up and grab a wildcard spot, they’re much improved. This division as a whole is much stronger than most anticipated, except of course the Saints are the worst team in football. Other than that, there really are no objectively lousy teans in the NFC at all. Funny how quickly it flipped- the AFC is now the conference where a bunch of bad teams reside. Its kind of cool, i think, after the past couple seasons being the king of a hill but the hill was kinda trash, now we are dominating the big boyz club 🏈🏆🌎

  8. Daniel Dream Says:

    I’m honestly way too confident about us to care what Atl or anyone else in the division does, tbh. We’re taking care of business and it’s Bucs all the way this season. I have no ill will towards those fated to finish behind us 😉

  9. Irishmist Says:

    When a person starts every sentence with “To be honest..”, it makes me question the truth of everything they tell me.

  10. heyjude Says:

    As always, an enthusiastic podcast!

    It was fun to watch Vildor get that interception.

    Baker has it going. The way he zig-zags through the other team’s defense is remarkable every single time. And on top of it, Johnson and Johnson getting their first TDs via Baker! And here we are, best record in the NFC! Let’s bring it home!

    Grizz has been there and is getting even better as OC. Bowles is really good with HC career paths. Hopefully Grizz stays awhile.

  11. Kenton Smith Says:

    Irishmist, I know what you mean. Really have to look out when they start their sentence “trust me…”. But to be honest, and you’re gonna have to trust me on this one, me and the old hound sure enjoy our favorite podcast. And that’s no BS!!

  12. heyjude Says:

    I always took the phrase “to be honest” as a sincere statement. Call me naive, but many of my colleagues, friends, family, and myself have said it while talking amongst each other about ideas, opinions, and feelings on a subject.

  13. Bucco Steve Says:

    I know this is a taboo thing to bring up, but if you also put your podcast on YouTube, it increases the reach of your ads.
    This would potentially allow you to charge more and maybe attract more advertisers.
    I know, it would also give your listeners more options on how to listen. Can’t have that. 😆
    1) Your first assertion is a guess not grounded in reality.
    2) There are very specific reasons (multiple) why Joe does not want the podcast on YouTube, even audio-only.
    3) Unlike other sites, Joe isn’t trying to fleece advertisers for every last nickel. That’s why, unlike other sites, Joe has consistent advertisers that do not jump ship every year or two.
    4) Listeners have lots of listening options. ‘I couldn’t access the podcast’ is not a thing.
