Return imminent?

As beat up as the Bucs are, any positive injury news is sorely welcome. Well, here is some: (more…)

Baker Mayfield lands on his back finishing a 15-yard scramble on fourth down on the game-winning drive to beat Houston.

Welcome to Victory Tuesday! It may not be as much fun as Victory Monday, but it means the same thing: Bucs win, Bucs win!

Something tells Joe after last night Bucs fans may need an extra mug full of coffee. It’s all good. Damn that was fun! (more…)

Offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard.

Last year the Bucs led the NFL in third-down conversion rate at 51 percent.

Keep in mind 40 percent or better is quite good by league standards. (more…)

Kicker Chase McLaughlin

Perhaps Busch Gardens will add a new roller coaster and simply call it: Todd Bowles’ Buccaneers. (more…)

Challenge.

So Baker Mayfield is 1-7 in night games as a Bucs quarterback.

Next up for his team is the Texans on Monday night. (more…)

Mike Evans was very clear beside his postgame locker last night. He wishes he had been mic’d up for yesterday’s game so fans could have heard rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka advance pleading for the touchdown pass that won the game. (more…)

What a debut!

Now THAT’S why you spend a No. 19 overall pick on a receiver! (more…)

No answers.

Sloppy, sloppy football game to open the season. But it was oh, so pretty in the end.

Pass the Rolaids. The Bucs are 4-0 in opening days under head coach Todd Bowles. (more…)

Two points to get out of the way.

First, 10-7 is a strong record befitting of strong teams. Besides Lovie Smith’s 2012 Bears, 10-win teams in NFL history are nearly always very good. (Those Bears opened 7-1 and imploded; then the Bucs hired Lovie.)

Second, Sage of Tampa Bay Sports Ira Kaufman, the venerable JoeBucsFan.com columnist, says the Bucs are an 11-win team. “And I’m not budging!” Kaufman barked. “This team is damn good.” (more…)

All aboard!

Buckle up, Bucs fans. The Bucs bandwagon is rolling down I-275. And none other than Kay Adams is driving. (more…)

Joe loves the anonymous but legitimate surveys of NFL team power players and the results that follow. (more…)

Not afraid to unload on a player.

Joe only wishes fans got to see the side of Bucs coach Todd Bowles that Joe sometimes sees. (more…)

And here it is! The 2025 Buccaneers initial 53-man roster. (more…)

So last year Joe experimented on game days with a Betting The Bucs feature and it will be back this year in a slightly different form. (more…)

The Bucs are an emotional, camaraderie-loving group. Their quarterback feeds on it. (more…)

Take that, Teddy Bridgewater! (more…)
