This struck Joe because former Bucs running back LeSean “Shady” McCoy, the six-time Pro Bowler with the Bills and Eagles, was a notorious Baker Mayfield basher before this season. [read more]

Joe was sickened by the officiating last night. Too much of it makes no sense, like Cade Otton getting stripped of a first down after two reviews that featured no clear evidence to overturn the Bucs’ new set of downs.
Yeah, Joe wrote about it earlier, but above photo is from the JoeBucsFan.com photo genius on the scene. The football is seen on its way to Mike Evans while the Lions defender is completely airborne and hanging on/clinging to Evans’ neck.
No flag!
Sadly, this is the play that left Evans with a concussion and a broken clavicle. The Bucs punted from their 40 yard line two plays later.

BY IRA KAUFMAN
They call it Stormy Monday …
The Bucs were beaten decisively by the Lions in a 24-9 setback that was not unexpected. Detroit rarely loses back-to-back games under Dan Campbell and Tampa Bay was due for a letdown.
No big deal.
Then Mike Evans went down with a broken clavicle that could sideline him for the remainder of the regular season.
Very big deal. [read more]

Bucs fans were painfully forced to watch franchise legend Mike Evans, the 32-year-old Hall of Fame receiver, struggle to walk off the field tonight with a broken collarbone and a head injury.
Minutes later, 31-year-old Haason Reddick was peeled off the turf and taken to the locker room on a cart, which likely drove by hobbled Chris Godwin watching on the sidelines. [read more]
