Imposter?
Last year Bucs safety Antoine Winfield was like the Tasmanian Devil in the Bucs’ secondary. He was everywhere. It’s why he was an All-Pro. (more…)
Not dodging.

Strong effort flushed.
This makes Joe want to pound his head on the keyboard. (more…)
A hearty faction of Bucs fans doesn’t think Todd Bowles is a head coach that can lead the Bucs to the Super Bowl. (more…)

The 2024 Buc season ended with a thud Sunday, a game-winning FG that clanked off the right upright as time expired. Tampa Bay fans will undoubtedly dwell on what the home team didn’t do, but the reality is the Commanders played a confident, poised game in prevailing 23-20. (more…)
Joe hopes and prays and hopes some more that offensive coordinator Liam Coen returns next season. (more…)
