Nope.

If, oh, say, Joe Flacco or Baker Mayfield or Ryan Fitzpatrick or Mitch Trubisky had as many picks as he had touchdowns in his past three games, you’d start coughing violently because your beer went down the wrong hatch from laughing. (more…)

Bucs right tackle Tristan Wirfs

Joe’s second review of last night’s groin-stomp loss to the Rams revealed a real stunner in the trenches — and it adds to the pain. (more…)

The picture tells the story here, but not the whole story. (more…)

Months ago, Bucs fans fantasized of unsung Buccaneers rising up in big prime time games to earn accolades from fans and media across the country. (more…)

After two interceptions against the Rams last night, Tom Brady is on pace to throw 13 this season.

Yes, Joe has the info on the last time Brady hit that number. (more…)

The Bucs’ trio of cornerbacks is displaying a disturbing lack of improvement in zone coverage.

Week after week, bad things happen when the Bucs play zone. Shouldn’t it be getting better? (more…)

Slow start, strong ending.

Look, Joe is not going to fully rag on the defense. They held the Rams to 10 points in the second half, and much of it held the Rams to a touchdown allowing the Bucs to stay within striking distance. (more…)

It’s a stat you don’t see very often — even at the Den of Depression. (more…)

Effort.

You know, the NFL combine measures and times just about everything on a football prospect’s body but his tool (to the best of Joe’s knowledge). (more…)

Torpedoed Bucs tonight.

Joe has no firm evidence if Bucs head coach Bucco Bruce Arians has full control and/or final say on plays or if offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich is in complete control, or if it is a hybrid of sorts. (more…)

Gasp! The Bucs lost for multiple reasons tonight, but the kick in the gut is that poor quarterback play was a huge factor. (more…)

This huge game has arrived! Our beloved Buccaneers and the Rams are two beasts of the NFC and this is a massive clash with huge playoff implications.

Comment all game long below. Play nice! Be decent. Go Bucs!

Interesting words from Bucco Bruce Arians that represent something to watch for tonight against the Rams — and going forward. (more…)

Game 11

Rams (6-3) at Bucs (7-3)

Kickoff: 8:15 p.m.

TV: ESPN and WMOR-TV Channel 38.

(more…)

Will be tested tonight.

If the Bucs are going to keep the Rams in check tonight, it shouldn’t wait long when the Rams get the ball. (more…)

No. 55 is ready for tonight’s huge Buccaneers-Rams game. It’s another TAMPA TWO with The Sage of Tampa Bay Sports, courtesy of The Identity Tampa Bay and Joe.

Playcaller Byron Leftwich

Obviously, the Bucs have one job tonight against the Los Angeles Rams: win.

But there’s an important layer to note about the route there, one that will be critical to Bucs fans not having panic attacks at halftime. (more…)

Background studied.

Really cool info here from retired NFL stars on the mindset of park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring, down-forgetting, jet ski-losing Bucs quarterback Tom Brady. (more…)

“Open conversations” with Troy Aikman.

Break out your Super Bowl flag. (more…)
