An interesting stat out there involves the five-win, officially tanked Dolphins and the seven-win Bucs, a team that tried to win at all costs. (more…)
As the Buccaneers’ brass considers a quarterback change, or pretends to, one piece of the puzzle is the wide receivers corps. (more…)
Fans did a great job responding to grading Vita Vea, so Joe’s going to keep it rolling with fellow defensive lineman and linebacker Carl Nassib.
Nassib had a fascinating 2019 season for one main reason. (more…)
More than a week after the Bucs season ended, there appears to be no market for Bruce Arians’ top assistants. (more…)
What happened?
It has become a sad tradition: Bucs football and bad kickers. (more…)
Roster shuffling.
Former Bucs coach Dirk Koetter used to say that about a third of a team’s roster changes from season to season. It’s just natural attrition. (more…)

A retired NFL receiver sees all 30 of Jameis Winston’s interceptions and also sees a corps of pass catchers that needs to be coached up. (more…)
Predicting his future.
Right around Thanksgiving time, Joe asked stud outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul if the soon-to-be free agent wanted to return to the Bucs in 2020. (more…)
Sad lack of national recognition.
It is getting to the point Joe doesn’t know how Bucs linebacker Lavonte David can get any attention from national NFL media other than to play for a winning team or jump the fence at the White House. (more…)
The tough-guy legend of Alex Cappa grows again. (more…)
Bad matchup for TEs.
