“The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Are Very Much For Real”
October 7th, 2025
Top shelf.
Does the road to the Super Bowl go through Tampa?
Well, Joe isn’t going that far yet. But one of the top NFL writers in the country, firmly entrenched in New England, suggested any team that doesn’t take the Bucs seriously will likely be in for a long afternoon.
The way the Bucs have been playing of late, especially yesterday lighting up a solid defense, Albert Breer of SI.com believes the Bucs put the NFL on alert.
In the immortal words of Warren Sapp, “Here come the Bucs!”
“The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are very much for real,” Breer said. “Ifyou only paid attention to the final score last week against the Eagles, you may have missed it.
“I think they are going to be there at the very end.”
The key for Joe is the Bucs cannot afford too many more injuries. But once this team starts to become healthy, they can do some damage.

This team has the early season MVP in Baker. Anybody that isn’t a fan of ‘Born Again’ Baker is just a Hater. Boy is the future bright in Tampa. Just wait until this Team gets healthy. Now about that Putrid Pass Defense…. Go Bucs!

Albert Breer … ‘Buccaneers are very much for real. Bucs are in it for the long haul this season.’
Gotta love that folks outside the Tampa Bay area are now starting to appreciate our Bucs. FOUR 4th qtr comebacks in 5 games tend to do that I guess.
These past 2 games against Seattle & Philly have shown a side of the Bucs that I think has been somewhat dormant these past 3 years. Bucs went head-to-head with 2 of the ‘Big Dogs’ … with a banged up roster. Both games were dogfights, and this team didn’t back down one iota. Pulled out 1 victory & almost pulled out the other. Yes Albert, this Bucs team is for real.
Sunday’s game was both beautiful AND ugly all in the same 60 minutes gametime. And I think that’s what made it so much fun (and nerve-wracking of course). Bucs made some mistakes, especially on defense & Special Teams, but we kept consistently overcoming those mistakes, as a TEAM. So did the Seahawks, but time ran out for them. Actually, I prefer to think that the Bucs’ time management was just a tad better.
