In a crazy way, Sunday’s decisive victory against the 49ers was incredibly frustrating for Buc fans.
It showcased what might have been in 2018 if this team had shown more discipline about keeping the football and retrieving the football. (more…)
Not happy with win.
This was too predictable. (more…)
America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, is now 2-2 as a starter for your Buccaneers this season.
And he certainly earned the “W” today.
The Buccaneers’ ironman left tackle says he gets “crap” for sometimes looking like he doesn’t care as much as others. (more…)

The warrior in the Buccaneers’ backfield appeared to be the last player out of the trainers’ room tonight in the bowels of MetLife Stadium.
Joe was waiting for him. (more…)
The Bucs ought to print this out and paste it in every defender’s locker, in every defensive meeting room. Hell, put in on the side of the stadium just like a player’s mural. (more…)

Here we are again on Buccaneer Boulevard, talking about finishing out a lost season with pride.
We’re all too familiar with this scenario as Buc fans head toward Thanksgiving with one eye on the cranberry sauce and another on the next NFL draft.
Brent Grimes talks to Ira
It’s painful to look at the standings and even more painful to remember that this team was once the talk of the league.
When the Tampa Bay locker room opened Sunday, I risked a pulled hamstring by running after Brent Grimes. The veteran corner hadn’t talked publicly for awhile and he was booking toward the exit door when I blocked his path. (more…)
Team Glazer members Bryan and Ed should have a busy planning week
Forget for a minute that the Bucs are 3-6 and nestled in Buccaneers Cove, aka last place in the NFC South. (more…)
“Dear football gods, please make sure the Glazers know I don’t call high school lateral plays when needing a score from the Falcons 20 yard line, or fake punts in the second quarter.”
It appears the Bucs coaching staff would benefit from a PODS discount code after this season. Tampa Bay is on a 9-18 run and a lot is going wrong.
But what about the guy who buys the groceries? (more…)
More Derrick Brooks talking Bucs is always a good thing, especially when he’s doing it with Ira Kaufman, esteemed JoeBucsFan.com columnist.
It’s a new TAMPA TWO, presented by Caldeco Air Conditioning and Heating. Another can’t-miss production from The Identity Tampa Bay and Joe.

“Jason, we’re not getting caught with our pants down in eight weeks — or wearing that jacket.”
Preparation is critical for good NFL owners.
Let the coaches worry about the day-to-day; the guys who sign the checks need to always consider the big picture. (more…)

Dirk Koetter says the Bucs are mired in a depressing pattern this season.
Make that 11 seasons.
Koetter was referring to Tampa Bay’s habit of falling far behind in the opening half, only to stage a comeback bid that falls short. We’ve seen that play out against the Steelers, Falcons, Bengals and Panthers while the Bucs dropped 5-of-6 after a 2-0 start.
The overarching pattern, however, is far more depressing. The playoff drought is almost certain to reach 11 years and another regime change appears likely.
This team has changed defensive coordinators and quarterbacks, yet the losing continues. (more…)
A quick look at the first halves of Dirk Koetter’s three seasons as head coach: 3-5, 2-6, 3-5.
Joe is not a big believer in coincidences. (more…)
