Joe could hear a hint of exasperation in Todd Bowles’ voice.

And no, it nothing to do with the Bucs’ miserable run defense. (more…)

The Manningcast can be a really fun resource for Xs and Os perspective on a particular play, and the whole show has kicked up a notch from that perspective with Bill Belicheat joining Eli and Peyton Manning this year. (more…)

Standing pat.

Would Todd Bowles be interested in the Bucs going out and finding a top-shelf receiver from another team in the wake of the devastating injuries to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin? Sure. (more…)

“I still have you beat, Baker!”

What a bipolar game the Bucs played today. (more…)

So Baker Mayfield is now on pace for 42 touchdown passes, 14 interceptions and 4,218 yards this season. And he’s having the best scrambling year of his career. (more…)

So much for a soothing post-Hurricane game to distract from troubles at home.

Regardless, Joe is in ecstasy! The Bucs pitched a freakin’ shutout in the second half and bumped their record to 4-2, their best start since 2021.

Talent won out.

BY IRA KAUFMAN

The Bucs had a clear path to win this football game. It was right there in front of them as a national audience looked on in prime time.

Then they stumbled all over themselves and ended up on the side of the road, broken down and beaten.

Tampa Bay almost overcame an awful defensive performance but in the end, the Bucs’ second-half offense was equally culpable in a hard-to-believe 36-30 setback in OT. Instead of bolting to a 4-1 start, the Bucs will now have extra time to prepare for another division road game at New Orleans.

It might take a while to get the bitter taste out of their mouths because they had every opportunity to beat the Falcons in a shootout. Atlanta just kept coming as Kirk Cousins threw for 509 yards, primarily against wide-open targets who exploited a soft secondary. (more…)

There are a lot of reasons the Bucs lost tonight. Kirk Cousins notched 509 of them.

But was there any bigger than what happened on the Bucs’ final drive and immediately before it? (more…)
