Good news.

The Bucs have opened the 21-day window for Jordan Whitehead to come back. Sad thing is with that timeframe it may be too late. (more…)

“Hey Bake, whaddya think about going deep?”

It seems Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen opened up the offense for Baker Mayfield on Sunday night. (more…)

Vanished in final 10 minutes.

Joe loves listening to former Michigan State, LSU and Alabama coach Nick Saban. Every time Joe hears him, Joe learns something about football. (more…)

Bucky Irving is so special, Bucs fans have come to rely on him having a standout game every week. (more…)

Soured on Bucs.

Hey, can you hear it? Joe still can. Hell, we all heard it just three days ago. All Bucs fans. (more…)

Stocking stuffer.

Joe understands that humorist/NFL columnist Mike Tanier isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But Joe thinks he’s one of the better NFL writers out there. (more…)

A couple of heavy hitters in NFL media had quite an exchange as they ganged up on Buccaneers defensive guru head coach Todd Bowles. (more…)

“Coach, how did you let this happen?”

Not quite 24 hours after the Bucs lost an embarrassing, sloppier-than-sloppy game to the sorry Cowboys and Troy Aikman Cooper Rush, it isn’t the loss that has Joe triggered so much today.

It’s that Bucs coach Todd Bowles correctly fingers his defensive players for poor fundamentals and really bad tackling. (more…)

Called out.

Joe might have heard the most depressed tone Joe can remember in Todd Bowles’ voice this morning, and it wasn’t during the head coach’s official team news conference. (more…)

“Hang in there, Bake.”

You know it’s bad when Father Dungy, one of the holy figures in #NFLMedia, calls you out on national television.

So Baker Mayfield fumbled with two hands on the ball last night, which led to a 3rd-and-40 play.

Rachaad White also fumbled with two hands on the ball with the game on the line. (more…)

Offense “needed” critical timeout.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles addressed the Bucs’ ill-timed timeout late in the first half that allowed the Cowboys enough time to get in position to kick a 58-yard field goal last night. (more…)

Chin up. Put the pitchfork back in the garage. The Bucs can still finish the season 10-7 and host a playoff game. (more…)

Mike Evans tries to shake Dallas corner DaRon Bland.

NextGen Stats show Baker Mayfield was good on quick, short passes last night. Not so much on long balls. (more…)

Sleepless night for Joe and so many other Bucs fans.

Man, just when you think the Bucs have turned a corner, they drive off the Courtney Campbell Causeway and into the mangroves. (Not underwater, just in need of a tow truck.)

It’s got Joe grateful for playing on a championship team at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters. Today, Joe cruised to 7.8 million actual visits to the website in 2024. That represents about 20 million pages viewed.

It’s been stunning consistency around here for a long time, for which Joe is very grateful to the many, many thousands who burn priceless minutes of their day here religiously. (Joe likes the newcomers and irregulars, too).

Aside from paying the bills, the mere presence here of so many fans soothes Joe through the challenging times.

Thank you.

Joe loves how some fans have firm rules for the blame game as it relates to a Buccaneers loss. (more…)

Bucs QB Baker Mayfield.

Well here is very interesting information by way of NextGen Stats on Baker Mayfield last night: (more…)

Joe hates to be the Grinch with Christmas in two days, but lumps of coal are in your stockings, Bucs! With the playoffs on the line you played like you did nothing but listen to the hype and pretended the Cowboys were the Titans (emphasis on the first syllable).

So let’s get this going so you can finish holiday shopping and make sure you get a good bottle of Christmas cheer to help you forget last night. (more…)
