Bucs OC Dave Canales.
In only the first eight games of the miserable 2013 Bucs season, Tampa Bay changed quarterbacks (veteran with mental issues to a rookie third-round pick), lost its top running back to injury, and had only had one legitimate receiver to complement an undrafted rookie tight end.
No wonder the Bucs went 0-8! But they averaged in those eight games only 1 1/2 points less per game than the current Bucs. (more…)

Owner Arthur Blank looked a little wobbly walking to the Atlanta interview room after Sunday’s game.
Who can blame him? The Falcons owner knew his team didn’t play particularly well, but hey, a win is a win and his franchise now leads the NFC South at 4-3. Sluggish coming off a bye last week, the Bucs were sloppy and unfocused en route to a 16-13 setback.
That’s three consecutive home losses for Tampa Bay, which now hits the road four times in the next five games. (more…)

Offense did Bucs in.
In the second half, Joe was getting bombed on social media with folks hollering about how the Bucs defense could not get off the field on third down. (more…)
Our first-place Buccaneers aren’t ready for primetime.
The offense is stuck in 2022 and the defense isn’t good enough to overcome it against a powerful team. That’s the Lions, the club that smacked around Tampa Bay today — with maybe 20,000 blue-clad Lions fans invading The Licht House. (more…)

Mark Twain said it more than a century ago — and the man had a point.
“There are lies, damned lies and statistics,” Twain concluded at the time. The NFL hadn’t even started, so there’s no way he was talking about Mike Alstott’s franchise-record 58 career rushing touchdowns.
Some NFL numbers don’t lie. Some swear. There are more than a few statistics through the opening month to explain Tampa Bay’s 3-1 start heading into a dynamic home matchup against the 4-1 Lions. (more…)
Third-down king.
The positive here is incredible, and that’s what makes it sort of a cautionary tale. (more…)
Return of “The Gravediggers.”
What an awesome Victory Monday this is! Leaders of our various counties in the Tampa Bay area should grant workers a day off to celebrate whenever the Bucs beat the slimy Saints. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.
Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht entered this season with one hand tied behind his back thanks to a record amount of unspendable salary cap dollars because the team lost that cash by overspending during the Tom Brady years.
Licht flexed and dropped a great quote before the season. (more…)

For two sublime weeks, Buc fans were sitting on top of the world. Welcome back to Planet Earth.
First, some perspective.
There’s no shame in losing to the defending NFC champions on a stormy Monday. The Eagles are going to win a lot of games this fall and Tampa Bay’s 2-0 getaway meant Philadelphia wasn’t likely to take the Bucs for granted.
Instead, they took the Bucs to the woodshed.
This was a prime-time beatdown as Philadelphia won all three phases by wide margins. Tampa Bay couldn’t run or stop the run. By the time the Bucs scored their only touchdown, the Eagles were cruising with a 25-3 advantage in the fourth quarter.
In case you haven’t noticed, Tampa Bay’s first two opponents currently sit at a combined 0-6. The Vikings no longer excel in close games while the Bears are staring at a 3-14 season.
The Eagles might finish 14-3. Big difference.
On a night Rondé Barber thanked Eagle fans for turning out for his Hall of Fame halftime ceremony, thousands of Philly fans stayed to savor every last moment. All that was missing was the cheesesteak.
