Secret to Bucs’ success.

Yes, the Bucs are in a playoff race. Joe feels it. Or maybe Joe’s thinking of creepy Patriots owner Bob Kraft’s visits to Asian strip mall boutiques in Jupiter. (more…)

It’s been 20 years since the ferocious Bucs defense of 2000 crushed quarterbacks for 55 sacks, an eye-popping total that further cemented the Glory Days defense as a force of its generation.

But guess how many sacks the Bucs are on pace for this season? (more…)

Joe eagerly awaited this glorious time, when Bucs fans could step out of the football-fan hell Jason Licht and Mark Dominik artfully crafted for 11 seasons with a little help from Team Glazer, who used to dance on the league salary floor before big spending became mandatory. (more…)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Bucs are 5-2, not 10-2. Lot of strong teams remain on the schedule. Still, Joe’s having fun playoff and scoreboard watching. (more…)

Yes, Joe is playoff watching and scoreboard watching. Joe may be rusty because it’s been so damn long since Joe has done it. (more…)

Joe wrote many, many times over the summer that if Tom Brady could simply get the Bucs scoring another two points per game, then the Bucs would be assured a playoff berth and fans would be doing backflips on Redington Beach.

Why? History says so. (more…)

The Bucs face critical decisions in the offseason regarding key defensive players.

Lavonte David, Shaq Barrett and Ndamukong Suh are unsigned past the 2020 season, but the No. 1 contract priority rests on the other side of the football.

Chris Godwin must be retained at all costs. (more…)

Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians.

[UPDATE: 1:03 p.m.] The Bucs are wasting little time trying to get mercurial receiver Antonio Brown acclimated. (more…)

Bucs WR Mike Evans.

As Joe has stated many times, Bucs star receiver Mike Evans is everything you’d want in a teammate. (more…)

Bucs WR Antonio Brown.

Here is a timeline list Joe cobbled together of all of the stunts new Bucs receiver Antonio Brown has found himself entangled with dating back over the last two years.

So when people ask Joe why he’s not fond of the Brown signing, perhaps this helps enlighten readers to understand Joe’s reservations of the Bucs getting into bed with the talented yet mercurial Brown, just as the team seems to have turned the corner and is a legit Super Bowl contender. (more…)

Peyton Manning seems to know who carries a giant and powerful stick at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Very cool stuff happened yesterday that many fans gave little attention. (more…)

Arm growing stronger?

Yesterday Joe wrote about the right arm of park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring, down-forgetting Bucs quarterback Tom Brady looking nothing like a middle-aged man’s wing. (more…)

Another massive Victory Monday is here. This is becoming a regular pattern. Joe can get used to this even though it is foreign as can be. Off to the analysis! (more…)

Playing time growing.

A week ago against the Packers, Mike Edwards damn near had a pick-six against the great Aaron Rodgers. (more…)

Late February has arrived early at One Buc Palace.

The misdirection smoke now seen swirling usually is the kind reserved for pre-draft chatter when NFL executives and coaches lie regularly. (more…)

Bucco Bruce Arians made an interesting comment about cornerback Carlton Davis last week and it has fresh meaning tonight. (more…)
