Welcome to draft watch, a Bucs tradition unlike any other in the NFL. (more…)

John Lynch has a big night ahead of him, surrounded by family and friends at Raymond James Stadium.

An even bigger day looms ahead in three months.

On the day before the Super Bowl in Houston, a panel of Pro Football Hall of Fame voters will meet to decide on the Class of 2017. Lynch’s 15-year career will be judged by 46 members of the media and two former players who already boast busts in Canton — Dan Fouts and James Lofton. (more…)

Once upon a time back in 2013, the Bucs had a receiving corps thinned out by injuries and turned to an undrafted rookie tight end to bail out their 23-year-old quarterback. (more…)

Has serious doubts about America.

When America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, was carving up the Raiders in the first quarter, Joe remarked on Twitter it appeared Good Jameis showed up Sunday. (more…)

I’ve been covering the NFL for 37 years and I’ve watched pro football for half a century. Never have I seen a game quite like this one. None of us have because the Raiders were just flagged 23 times, setting a single-game record in a league that began play in 1920.

And they won.

But don’t fret, because here are 10 takeaways to mull over until the Falcons come to town Thursday evening on John Lynch night. (more…)

Help is on the way for Roberto Aguayo!

And it will come from a very sour man.

Throwing himself a changeup tonight.

Gerald McCoy is moving past this kick-in-the-nuts Bucs loss in record time. (more…)

Can’t trust passing attack.

Want to know why Bucs coach Dirk Koetter went turtle at the end of the first half and in particular, in the final Bucs possession of the fourth quarter? (more…)

Lays down the law.

When Bucs legend Derrick Brooks is talking, Joe is listening.

You can take that to the bank. (more…)

Report of possible trade not really news.

Let Joe be clear before getting rolling. (more…)

Costly blunder

The truth has come out on the brainless penalty committed by America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, on Sunday. (more…)

Tell the truth, how many of you out there in Buccaneer Land thought the visitors had the mental toughness to rally from a 14-0 deficit on the road?

You can put your hand down, Mr. Licht. The Bucs have reached .500 and Atlanta’s loss to San Diego represents a nice bonus. Bring on the home stand and let’s bring on the takeaways: (more…)

The Buccaneers are 3-3 and alive and well in the playoff hunt — with a very shaky rookie kicker.

It’s all smiles and daisies for the Bucs’ big win at San Francisco today, but Roberto Aguayo has morphed into a significant problem. (more…)

Ok, 101 yards on 30 carries on Monday Night Football for a no-name running back was a fairy tale story.

But now it’s getting serious. (more…)

Rarely does a Buccaneers player reference Team Glazer. (more…)
