No sugarcoating this.

The atrocious Bucs’ special teams are so bad, now you’ve got people from the front office barking about it on national TV. (more…)

Rookie making an impact.

When the Bucs drafted Elijah Roberts in the fifth round out of SMU by way of Miami, Roberts was a sneaky good edge rusher. (more…)

The Bucs certainly aren’t intimidated by the world champion Eagles, winners of 10 consecutive games, including four in the postseason and Sunday against Tampa Bay. (more…)

How does this happen? (more…)

The Buccaneers officially named their top 50 players in team history this month and cornerback Aqib Talib wasn’t on the list.

He’s not happy about it. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Joe doesn’t know what the solution is for this other than maybe to dumb down what one is trying to accomplish early in games. (more…)

Chris Godwin embraces his wife Mariah after warmups Sunday prior to his season debut.

Pretty cool column in the Players Tribune by Bucs receiver Chris Godwin. (more…)

Bucs special teams coach Thomas McGaughey.

Could this be the fall of Riley Dixon? (more…)

Baker Mayfield slings a short pass to Rachaad White Sunday.

This is sort of a Barry Bonds batting average. (more…)

Reflecting on positive.

Yeah, that game Sunday sure gnaws at Joe. It was winnable. All the Bucs had to do is block on a punt. (more…)

That 1 o’clock Bucs game on Sunday, Oct. 12, has a new time. The NFL bumped the Bucs-49ers game in Tampa to 4:25 p.m.

The slimy Saints got the reverse bump for the same day. The Saints-Patriots game in New Orleans was moved back to 1 p.m. to accomodate the Bucs.

The brilliant TV network minds have realized nobody wants to watch the Saints, even if they gave the Bills a tough game in Buffalo yesterday.

Eagles green was a too-popular color in the crowd yesterday.

Bucs fans who vomit easily might want to sit this story out. (more…)

Bucky Irving gets past Eagles LB Jihaad Campbell on his way to an 72-yard touchdown catch.

Liam Coen would never. (more…)

Change coming?

Lotta wild extremes within the Bucs’ special teams.

Consider first that Bucs kick returner Sean Tucker ranks tied for 46th in the NFL among kick returners averaging at least one return per game — in a 32-team league. (more…)

Injuries mounting.

UPDATED: Man, Bucs coach Todd Bowles sure was dour about injuries suffered yesterday in the loss to the Eagles. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Joe hasn’t heard Todd Bowles critique an element of his team this harshly. But any drunk (or sober) Bucs fan who has watched every game this year will agree Bowles’ harsh words are more than justified. (more…)

Haason Reddick.

So Bucs edge rusher Haason Reddick left yesterday’s soul-sucking loss to the Eagles in the second half with what was deemed neck issue/possible concussion. (more…)
