Take a bow, Buccaneers.

Despite a flurry of injuries that could have crippled many other teams, Tampa Bay stands 6-2 at the break after cruising past the hapless Saints 23-3. Unlike their first four victories, the Bucs didn’t need a last-minute comeback engineered by Baker Mayfield.

Instead, an inspired defensive effort led by Anthony Nelson provided a comfortable cushion as New Orleans fell to 1-7. The Bucs had five sacks and four takeaways to compensate for another ho-hum effort by an offense that sorely needs Bucky Irving to return. (more…)

They call it Stormy Monday …

The Bucs were beaten decisively by the Lions in a 24-9 setback that was not unexpected. Detroit rarely loses back-to-back games under Dan Campbell and Tampa Bay was due for a letdown.

No big deal.

Then Mike Evans went down with a broken clavicle that could sideline him for the remainder of the regular season.

Very big deal. (more…)

Mike Alstott has owned the hearts of Buc fans for almost three decades.

Since his arrival in 1996, Alstott has reigned as the most popular player in franchise history, but there’s a feisty gunslinger poised to derail the A-Train. The love affair between Buc Nation and Baker Mayfield grows with each Tampa Bay victory and his swashbuckling style is a perfect fit for this blue-collar region. (more…)

Yes, he did it again.

With the Bucs clinging to a 20-19 lead late in the third quarter, Baker Mayfield faced a third-and-14 from his own 41. The 49ers had just kicked a field goal and figured they had momentum on their side.

Tampa Bay had No. 6 on its side. Advantage, Bucs. (more…)

Haason Reddick is gearing up for hunting season.

The Bucs signed Reddick to a $14 million free-agent contract in an effort to spruce up an inconsistent pass rush. Despite Tampa Bay’s torrid start, opposing passers have yet to feel the heat, prompting Todd Bowles to blitz on 34 percent of his defensive snaps, the fourth-highest rate in the league. (more…)

Tom Brady came close, but no Buccaneer player has ever been voted league MVP. It may be time to change that narrative.

Week 5 isn’t completely in the books yet, but Baker Mayfield is making a compelling case for the NFL’s most coveted individual award. Yes, he did it again.

For the fourth time in five games, Mayfield led a scintillating comeback in the late stages as Tampa Bay outlasted Seattle 38-35 in a matchup long on drama and incredibly short on defense.

The Seahawks hadn’t allowed that many points in a 60-minute home game since Dec. 17, 2017, eight days after Mayfield won the Heisman Trophy. (more…)

Sunday’s game in Seattle will start on time. Will the Buccaneers?

Despite their 3-1 getaway, the Bucs have consistently found themselves behind in the opening quarter. That should be a disturbing trend for new offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard, who won’t have Bucky Irving as a key weapon to test Seattle’s stout defense.

It all began with the Week 1 matchup at Atlanta, where the Bucs quickly fell behind because the defense forgot to account for Bijan Robinson leaking out of the backfield for a 50-yard TD reception. (more…)
