Panic.
The last we saw of Jason Pierre-Paul, he packed up his belongings in his downtown Tampa condo and watched the moving company haul them away. JPP then climbed aboard a private jet and left Tampa seemingly for good, laughing hysterically, waving goodbye to Tampa from hundreds of feet in the sky. (more…)

BY IRA KAUFMAN
Trudging off the field into the locker room, Mike Evans rubbed his eyes in apparent disbelief regarding what had just transpired.
Buc Nation nodded in agreement.
A team with little to play for besides pride had just beaten Tampa Bay, a club with everything to play for. Prohibitive favorites against New Orleans entering Sunday’s divisional matchup, the Bucs suffered a jarring 24-20 setback.
While the surging Panthers enjoyed a bye week, the Bucs appeared idle for most of a rainy afternoon. What made it even more discouraging was that the 3-10 Saints didn’t play particularly well in pulling off an upset that left Tampa Bay and Carolina tied atop the NFC South at 7-6.
The Bucs and Panthers will meet twice in the final four weeks and there’s no credible reason to think Tampa Bay is capable of registering a sweep. (more…)
Blames himself.
Joe was going to type about the rookie wall. That was before Joe heard Emeka Egbuka speaking to a throng of reporters in the locker room after the Bucs’ 24-20 loss to the slimy Saints. (more…)
Todd Bowles
So the Bucs are 7-6 after starting the season 5-1, and Joe can say now with 100 percent confidence that head coach Todd Bowles will be coaching the team next year if the Bucs finish the regular season strong. (more…)
Speaks truth.
Chris Godwin is the ultimate pro, both on and off the field. (more…)
There’s much to pick on when it comes to the Bucs offfense, but the final throw on the final drive highlighted a recurring issue. (more…)
Offensive offense.
Joe’s had it with this dink-and-dunk offense! (more…)
