Last Call For The No. 1 Overall Pick

Tuesday, October 15th, 2019

BY IRA KAUFMAN

The Bucs had a tough decision to make in the spring of 2015. They had to choose between a dynamic gunslinger and a savvy game manager.

They went with Jameis Winston at the top of the draft ahead of Marcus Mariota and felt good about the pick. More than four years later, the Bucs and Titans are coming to grips with the very real possibility both quarterbacks are destined for the dustbin of NFL history. (more…)

Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Bucs-Panthers

Sunday, October 13th, 2019

BY IRA KAUFMAN

There’s a church close to the Buffalo Wild Wings in south Tampa where I watched in dismay as Carolina humbled the Bucs in London Sunday morning.

When the game ended, I watched several Buc fans trudge out the door, seeking the power of prayer.

When 1 o’clock came around and the game was still not over, all of the TV stations in the house automatically switched off from the Bucs-Panthers broadcast to a different network.

You should have heard the cheers. (more…)

No excuses.

The Bucs shouldn’t attribute this setback to officials, lousy as they can be, the raucous Superdome crowd or a couple of injured players.

This was a beatdown, even if the final score appears respectable. The effort was not, so Tampa Bay’s roller-coaster season marches on across the pond, where the suddenly resurgent Panthers await, eager to atone for a Week 2 setback in Charlotte.

The Bucs have suffered two losses in a 3-week span to backup quarterbacks. Daniel Jones looked like a rookie at home against the Vikings on Sunday, but he shredded the Bucs on the road. Teddy Bridgewater just pulled off a very impressive impersonation of Drew Brees. (more…)

Now comes the hard part — dealing with the aftermath.

I once had a hockey coach tell me it’s not about how many times you get knocked down, it’s about getting up off the canvas. The Bucs just took one to the solar plexus. If they’re still writhing in pain from a devastating body blow, who could blame them? (more…)
