Bucs GM Jason Licht

Disclaimer for the highly volatile: Joe has no say or impact when it comes to Bucs organizational decisions.

And stop throwing social media feces at Joe. (more…)

Heartfelt bro hugs in the locker room were common after the game.

There was a lot of hugging going on. (more…)

Flash poll posted at 5:01 p.m. Poll closed 7:54 p.m. Last week’s results linked here.

So NFL Network reports the Jaguars formally requested to interview Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen for their open head coach position. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht, the architect.

Some people wonder why Joe often refers to Jason Licht as the “Buccaneers Ring of Honor” general manager.

This confuses Joe. (more…)

Rallying to win (the division).

So the Mike Evans streak wasn’t the only streak on Joe’s mind this afternoon. And thankfully, fortunately, this streak is oh-vah! (more…)

So the regular season just ended with rookie Jalen McMillan hauling in 24 catches, 316 yards and 7 touchdowns through his final five games.

Joe’s never seen a guy pull off those kinds of numbers with limited targets. (more…)

A two-year problem for Todd Bowles.

Rough day for the legions of Bucs fans that aren’t supporters of head coach Todd Bowles. (more…)

Defensive tackle Vita Vea hugs OLB YaYa Diaby in celebration of a defensive play in the Bucs’ beat down of the Stinking Panthers.

Happy Victory Monday! Fun game yesterday. But Joe senses Bucs fans couldn’t fully let loose with robust hilarity and emotion because they were on pins and needles over the Dixie Chicks game late last night. But everything turned out fine. So grab your mug of coffee and let’s roll! (more…)

So halftime social media buzz got a shot of juice today when Todd Bowles told the Buccaneers Radio Network that defensive backs needed to get their heads out of their collective asses. (more…)

Bucs franchise quarterback Baker Mayfield is having a career year and, as Joe said all spring and summer, he’s a hell of a lot better than Kirk Cousins.

You like that, Falcons? (more…)

Bucky Irving is so special, Bucs fans have come to rely on him having a standout game every week. (more…)

Joe hates to be the Grinch with Christmas in two days, but lumps of coal are in your stockings, Bucs! With the playoffs on the line you played like you did nothing but listen to the hype and pretended the Cowboys were the Titans (emphasis on the first syllable).

So let’s get this going so you can finish holiday shopping and make sure you get a good bottle of Christmas cheer to help you forget last night. (more…)

After today’s games, the Bucs would need a mountain of help to qualify for the playoffs as a Wild Card team. (more…)

Bucs are scared of the dark.

Joe never expected to type the following: (more…)

So the Bucs weren’t ready for prime time and simply were not the better team tonight.

Depressing!

No fluke plays. Just the Bucs defense having not enough answers for almighty Cooper Rush and the Bucs offense sputtering just enough with bad snaps, bad penalties, bad drops, fumbles and some bad quarterback decisions. (more…)
