Targeting Mike Evans.

In the next seven games, Mike Evans needs 665 yards to extend his 10-year streak of 1,000-yard receiving seasons. (Provided he doesn’t get hurt again). (more…)

Giants QB Tommy DeVito, who will start Sunday against the Bucs, talks to Bucs receiver Sterling Shepard.

A neutral observer could say Giants third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito, who will start Sunday against the Bucs, is a joke of a quarterback who was benched in Week 16 last season after a fun run for a crap team. (more…)

Todd looks at an NFL weekend with a half dozen teams on bye, two favored by double digits and the genesis of the “POG” according to the great Chris Thomas. The Todd Wright Survivor Football Podcast is presented by Brandon Legal Group.

Relax, says Todd Bowles.

Joe is a history guy. So two elements of Bucs history have Joe spooked about Sunday’s game against as the Bucs buckle their chinstraps for the final seven games of the regular season. (more…)

Situational? Really?

Joe put this quote from Todd Bowles out on Twitter yesterday and Bucs fans erupted. But Joe understands what Bowles is trying to say. (more…)

On a team’s shopping list?

It’s that time of the year — the second half of the season — when NFL stenographers try to guess who will be head coach of what team after the smoke clears from Black Monday (Jan. 6). (more…)

Antoine Winfield Jr. is not on the Buccaneers’ official injury report that came out today, but he sort of issued his own personal injury report. (more…)

“Greeny, we’d miss you.”

Is this the year an NFL owner in need of a general manager looks south to Tampa and thinks, ‘Maybe we should raid Jason Licht’s staff for the stability, production and intelligence we’re seeking at GM?’ (more…)

Quick update given today on the injuries to starting cornerback Zyon McCollum (hamstring) and All-World left tackle Tristan Wirfs (sprained knee).

Todd Bowles said it’s “going to be close” for each.

If Joe had to wager, Joe would say Wirfs is a go in a knee brace and McCollum won’t see the field.

Bowles noted that recently-promoted veteran cornerback Troy Hill will get a long look this week to see what knows. Joe presumes that meant the playbook.

When last seen on the field — before today — Mike Evans messed up his hamstring and dropped this pass.

So the greatest receiver in Bucs history was back on the practice field today with his healed/healing hamstring. (more…)

It was very obvious this week that when former Bucs Super Bowl-winning QB Brad Johnson isn’t lighting up social media with bizarre trick shots, he’s paying close attention to the current Tampa Bay team. (more…)

Todd discusses all the bad football still to come for the 2024 NFL season and how that Rondé Barber game-clinching pick six in the 2002 NFC Championship Game may have never happened if Andy Reid’s first choice to replace an injured Donovan McNabb had decided to leave the broadcast booth in pursuit of a fourth Super Bowl title.

Tiki Barber explains.

So iconic Giants running back Tiki Barber, twin brother of Bucs legend Rondé Barber, will be calling the Bucs-Giants game this Sunday for CBS. (more…)

How are the Bucs doing?

Joe was very, very surprised no one with the Bucs had whined about this stat this year. (more…)

Tough to find a negative.

If you are going to find something wrong with the Bucs’ hire of offensive coordinator Liam Coen and the job he has done, you may have to set aside some time to discover a fault. (more…)

Offenses explode on Bucs.

Disturbing numbers for a defense coached up by a defensive-minded head coach. (more…)

Playoff percentage.

Well, this is something very interesting to Joe. (more…)

Bucco Bruce Arians

The remaining Bucs opponents have a combined record of 24-47. (more…)

Will the Bucs’ opponent be trying to win on Sunday?

So Joe sat down to listen to an interview today with retired Giants fan-favorite receiver Victor Cruz.

Why? Because Cruz caught passes from Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen in college, and he stays tight with the Giants, the Bucs opponent on Sunday. (more…)
