Now, the high anxiety begins.

Before Sunday’s kickoff, Tampa Bay’s path to the Super Bowl appeared promising — beat the Rams at home and remain in Tampa all week long before entertaining the 49ers in the NFC championship game. (more…)

Bucs DC Todd Bowles.

Bucs defensive coordinator Todd Bowles is one of the best defensive coordinators in the game. It’s why he’s getting so many interviews for the eight (current) head coach openings. (more…)

Saved a penalty.

Bucco Bruce Arians has seen a lot of football in his years. He’s seen good and he’s seen bad. (more…)

For the first time in 19 years, the Bucs won a home playoff game (the Super Bowl was not a home game). And as a result of yesterday’s win and the 49ers beating the Cowboys, the Bucs will host two playoff games in the same postseason for the first time since 1979. And just like that season, the Bucs started the playoffs by alley-beating the Eagles! What a Victory Monday! Get your java and let’s f’ing go! (more…)

Wise Rondé Barber

Few Tampa Bay fans realize that Bucs icon Rondé Barber is a paid gambling guru. (more…)

The architect, general manager Jason Licht.

This post comes down to how one defines the word “flurry,” and the broader context of what the Buccaneers’ general manager was saying. (more…)

Was he talking about the fans packing The Licht House? Or was he talking about his defensive teammates? (more…)

As the seconds tick by on 2021, Joe has to share the latest on the coaching future of Bucco Bruce Arians, the greatest coach in Buccaneers history. (more…)

Leadership!

Anyone see Tom Brady squirm today without about two-thirds of his offensive production on the field? (more…)

Joe picked up bad news from a trusted source this afternoon.

Lavonte David will miss the rest of the regular season and Wild Card weekend of the playoffs. His foot injury could be a complete season-ender but that’s unclear at this time.

What makes this extra awful is David had such a great game against the Saints before he got hurt late. He recorded 3 tackles for loss, a sack and 11 total tackles before exiting Sunday night in the fourth quarter.

It seemed like David finally was 100 percent from his October ankle injury that he explained was a long healing process.

Enjoy this evening’s Ira Kaufman Podcast!

Odd talking point from coach.

Look, Joe is not here to crucify Ronald Jones. Joe wants him to do well. When he does well, the Bucs do well. (more…)

What an ugly night and an ugly morning. Time to go over the sad game last night. Hope you have your caffeine ready. (more…)

Losses have consequences. (more…)

It’s somewhat comforting to know that the Bucs’ offensive struggles last night had a lot to do with one of the very worst games of Rob Gronkowski’s career.

In theory, that should never happen again.

Had it all the way. Just kidding.

Style points don’t count in this league, especially when you’re hunting the NFC’s No. 1 playoff seed. The final scoreboard read 33-27, Bucs, in overtime as Tampa Bay held off a desperate, talented opponent. (more…)

Joe and fellow Bucs fans are witnessing something very special, and it’s not just the Bucs’ 10-3 record (a new franchise best) and their stunning 18 victories in their last 21 games. (more…)

The architects

Thanksgiving may be over, but Joe hasn’t finished expressing gratitude for these unprecedented times after enduring the grueling Lost Decade of Buccaneers football. (more…)
