The joint was jumping.

Surrounded by passionate Buc fans at Buffalo Wild Wings in Riverview,

I could sense their concern late in Thursday night’s game. Tampa Bay isn’t known for making key plays in crunch time, so Buc supporters feared the worst.

Fear struck out. (more…)

After listening to Bruce Arians woefully detail Tampa Bay’s self-destructive tendencies Sunday, I hustled over to the 49ers locker room to see John Lynch.

I waited as dozens of players walked toward the team bus while equipment bags were lugged out. (more…)

Tim McGraw sang a few songs about heartache and regret before the home team supplied the chorus.

The Bucs were in a giving mood Sunday against a franchise that went 0-8 on the road last season, a 49ers team that traveled cross-country before facing 93-degree heat.

The worst part of all is that San Francisco didn’t play particularly well. The 49ers played hard — and they needed all that resolve to overcome two giveaways and 11 penalties, including three that nullified apparent touchdowns.

They’ve spent seven of the past eight seasons in the NFC South basement, so here comes Bruce Arians, eager to run over these demons in his golf cart. (more…)
