Admit it.
The only people who thought the Bucs had a chance to win this game were the ones boarding Wednesday’s charter flight out of Tampa, headed for Dallas (and about 14 percent of Bucs fans). (more…)

Sometimes, the simplest explanation is the best explanation. In that spirit, let’s stipulate the Bucs are not a good football team. In fact, they haven’t been good in quite a while.
Their record speaks for itself and that voice is a low growl. Eleven losses in the past 13 games tells the story — and it’s a grim one. This league began play more than a century ago and only the 1992 Chargers advanced to the postseason after an 0-4 start.
Do you have any reason to believe the 2026 Bucs will join them as outliers? (more…)

Wet, wild and totally unacceptable.
You’d think the Bucs would have entered Sunday’s home opener against the Browns in an ornery mood after last week’s giveaway at Cincinnati. You’d think Tampa Bay defenders would tackle better and Baker Mayfield would torture the franchise that cast him out of Cleveland.

Todd Monken’s no dummy.
The new head coach of the Browns knows how to exploit weaknesses on the football field. He proved that as offensive coordinator for the Bucs, Browns and Ravens before getting his shot in Cleveland this year. (more…)
It’s fitting that JoeBucsFan.com columnist/podcaster Ira Kaufman will walk into the Raymond James Stadium press box tomorrow for the Bucs-Browns game wearing a media badge and carrying a laptop.
Sunday marks the 50th anniversary of Kaufman launching his illustrious career in sports media.
Kaufman clocked in on the Manhattan sports desk of United Press International at 6 p.m. on Sept. 20, 1976. His daily shift ended at 1:30 a.m. — followed by a vodka tonic at a bar across the street.
Starting pay was $140 a week — enough to afford an occasional wee hours western omelet (post-vodka) and train fare back home to Brooklyn.
By 1978, Kaufman was routinely covering the NFL and his big break came immediately following that ’78 season. Kaufman was named New York Giants beat writer for UPI, replacing Greg Aiello, who later became the longtime chief NFL spokesperson. (more…)

To blitz or not to blitz, that is the question.
For Todd Bowles, the answer typically is a resounding “heck yes.” That’s why he is known in NFL circles as “Dr. Blitz,” although some disgruntled Buc fans surely have other nicknames in mind. (more…)
