What is going to snap the Bucs out of their horrible funk?

What will get them to play focused and with their hair on fire in front of a national TV audience on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.? (more…)

There is still hope.

While most Bucs fans appear resigned to shovel dirt in the Bucs’ faces this week, thinking the 2025 season comes to an end at The Licht House on Saturday, one prominent national NFL scribe is thinking the opposite. (more…)

Team Glazer is lurking.

Bucs ownership and management have not confirmed Todd Bowles will coach the team next season, despite a firestorm of distractions before a key game in the form of fans screaming from rooftops for his job. So Joe assumes Team Glazer is still assessing whether Bowles is worth keeping. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Are the Bucs going to resort to only working on fundamentals this week in practices leading up to their final game of the 2025 NFL regular season, Saturday? (more…)

Freefall.

Joe is just going to throw this out there: If the Bucs miss out on the playoffs this weekend (not only do the Bucs have to win to make the playoffs, so too do the slimy Saints), is this the biggest collapse in franchise history? (more…)

Needs more touches.

Alright, if the Bucs are going to win Saturday with the hope and a prayer they can make the playoffs — the slimy Saints also must win on Sunday — it might be time to get the running game going. (more…)

Welcome to your Morning Cup of Joe, an eye-opener to help Joe’s readers ease into their busy workday with a few football links, wacky news and a pleasant distraction. (more…)

“Learn to love me, Bucs fans!”

Joe has a love/hate relationship with the Big Easy, New Orleans. (more…)

Spoiler alert.

Things had gotten so ugly for the Bucs, they were in danger of finishing with a worse record than Atlanta if the Falcons beat the mighty Rams at home tonight.

And that’s exactly what happened. (more…)

The Bucs have developed an edge rusher. (more…)

So how is Baker Mayfield feeling? (more…)

Chin music.

Once upon a time two decades ago, there were loud rumblings/rumors that Team Glazer was hunting former Steelers Super Bowl-winning head coach Bill Cowher to lead Tampa Bay. (more…)

Former Bucs receivers coach and playcaller, Todd Monken, the Ravens offensive coordinator.

So who will coach the Buccaneers in 2026? (more…)

Silent.

Everywhere Joe turns today Bucs fans are talking about firing Todd Bowles. (more…)

Status quo.

If a head coach isn’t going to toss any assistant overboard for incompetence with just one game left in the regular season, there’s no need to show the guy up now. (more…)

Scorn earned.

Joe’s good friend, NFL columnist/humorist Mike Tanier, was appalled by what he watched yesterday, and he’s not even a Bucs fan. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Here is evidence the Bucs don’t have a good team. (more…)

Did dudes go down to Mexico during the bye and drink the wrong water? (more…)

Joe is going to have to eat Advil all week in order to try to sound positive and giddy with the fact this awful Bucs team still has a chance to win the division and make the playoffs. Advil and gallons of coffee and Mountain Dew will help Joe fake it. Joe is that depressed. If somehow the Bucs make the playoffs, Joe knows what will happen in the first round. So let’s get to it as it sure seems inevitable that the guillotine will soon come down on some people, maybe big names in the coming days, weeks and months. Something has to give with this emotionless, losing team. Buckle up and grab your coffee. (more…)
