Thomas Bassinger performed a deep dive into the great Buccaneers con job delivered by Dirk Koetter in late 2017 and through the first half of 2018.

Joe railed about it over and over at the time, and the Tampa Bay Times numberscruncher/reporter invested the time recently to expose it further. (more…)

Bucs Uncensored, with host Justin “The Commish” Pawlowski, is zeroing in on all kinds of things in this new episode. The podcast is always so much fun. Listen above or subscribe along with many thousands of Bucs fans on iTunes right here, or at Podbean.com. Justin’s work is not influenced by JoeBucsFan.com. Joe just thinks it’s very, very special. **CAUTION: some R-RATED language!** 

A team, with a little good luck, can go from worst to first in a short time. Just look at the Rams. (more…)

The Fixer?

Time for a fun fact!

Dirk Koetter’s offense this season, the one misguided souls consider to be among the greatest in NFL history, generated the exact same number of points as the 2012 Bucs during Greg Schiano’s inaugural season. (more…)

Most of you will watch the biggest games of the season, and a small handful of you like to talk about them during the action.

Feel to do it here in the comments section below. Great teams, great players, four ex-Bucs, ancient quarterbacks, young quarterbacks — there’s much to debate.

Have fun! Play Nice!

Bucs GM Jason Licht

After Dirk Koetter was launched for being bad at his job, general manager Jason Licht talked about a no-ego approach to hiring the next Buccaneers head coach. (more…)

Where will you watch today’s games? You absolutely surround yourself with A+ fresh food and a renowned draft and craft beer selection at Abe’s Place in Clearwater. The menu is superior!  And it’s always Happy Hour at Abe’s. How great is that!!!

Abe’s has great WiFi. See you there!

A lot to prove.

The Bucs’ running game in the post-Chucky era has been pretty lousy. (more…)

And people wonder why Joe has chronic indigestion, sleep disorders and 24 broken TV remote control devices in 11 years. (more…)

Keeping DeSean Jackson.

In the mind of a former Bucs player, the Bucs are better off holding their noses and finding a way to keep malcontent wide receiver DeSean Jackson than to toss him away. (more…)

Fixing Jameis.

New Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians has been on a massive sell job since being named as the 12th Bucs coach telling anyone and everyone America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, is his horse to lead the Bucs. No ifs, ands or buts. (more…)

New Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich says being a quarterback guru is a lot about the QB-coach relationship and understanding, plus effective and sometimes unique communication.

Leftwich’s chatter on that subject was one of the more interesting aspects of his introductory news conference yesterday. (more…)

Harsh words for America.

It sure smells like Bucs malcontent wide receiver DeSean Jackson has his agent working overtime. (more…)

Everything about the Bruce Arians regime screams “win immediately” and “get the most out of Jameis Winston in a hurry.”

That will require a running back. (more…)

Bold words from new OC.

Man, the new Bucs coaching staff is really going out of its way to get their message across to anyone who will listen. (more…)

Something doesn’t add up here. (more…)

Return unknown.

You can put the trade rumors to bed. (more…)

New Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich talks playcalling and his future

Former Bucs QB Byron Leftwich will now call plays for what Tampa Bay GM Jason Licht calls one the great offenses in NFL history.

Leftwich has a half season of experience at the craft, plus preseason games. (more…)

Bucs OC Byron Leftwich.

If the crowd that cannot wait to run America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, out of town is not yet satisfied that he is the starting quarterback after the staunch defense of new Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians, new offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich put the issue to bed. (more…)

Future with Bucs?

A lot of Bucs fans are willing to turn the page on left tackle Donovan Smith. Finding a replacement may not be as easy (or as cheap) as Bucs fans want to think. (more…)
