Call it complementary football if you wish. Yes, the offense and defense of the Bucs meshed together Sunday to generate yet another road win against a division foe.

But in my mind, the Bucs played so well and so hard, that effort should be lauded and savored. Let’s call that complimentary football.

Let’s also call it Tampa Bay’s most impressive road win in three years, dating back to a 19-17 victory at Arrowhead against the Chiefs, who had been 7-2. (more…)

America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, is racking up numbers just like the best of the best are doing.

Dude is throwing up 300 yards in a game like clockwork. Consider Jameis, by throwing for 313 yards today in a lopsided win over the Dixie Chicks, stretched his 300-yard games streak to six. It’s a team-best streak.

Jameis also tied a Bucs record he established by throwing for 22 touchdowns in 11 games. Jameis also accomplished this in 2016.

But yeah, the Bucs want to let this guy walk away because Andy Dalton.

Hall of Fame numbers.

It is unlikely Bucs stud receiver Mike Evans will break the 8,000-yard plateau by the end of this season. But he already has proved to be one of the best receivers in NFL history. (more…)

Key game.

Joe wouldn’t have believed it. (more…)

New offensive weapon?

Has another NFL player caught a touchdown and recorded a sack in the same game? Bucs media relations is working on this riddle but it seems Vea may have set another NFL record. (more…)

Ecstatic with the performance of his defense and young defensive backs after today’s game, Bucco Bruce Arians still showed his football-coach colors. (more…)

What a joy it continues to be seeing Chris Godwin take over the NFL.

The dude has 70 catches for 1,071 yards and nine touchdowns with five — FIVE! — games to play working largely out of the slot. (more…)

Here’s an eye-opener for you.

After five passes defended today, an official NFL stat, rookie Jamel Dean now has 13 official NFL passes defensed this season. Rondé Barber only exceeded that total in six of his 16 seasons. And Dean has played in just a tiny handful of games. (more…)
