The Bucs, if you haven’t read, have a godawful pass defense. (more…)

America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, just finished his podium session with media at One Buc Palace and he was oozing with pride when it came to three key factors. (more…)

Needs to start.

If statistical data from the previous six games is any indication, Arizona rookie quarterback Kyler Murray is going to launch the football early and often Sunday when the Cardinals come to town. (more…)

O.J. Howard returns this week from his hamstring injury. Joe sure hopes he’s up for a big workload.

No excuses.

Back in May, Joe was beyond skeptical that Jason Pierre-Paul would ever take another snap for the Bucs. (more…)

Jason Pierre-Paul mic’d up?

You better believe that excitedly sent Joe to the fridge for pre-listen snack. (more…)

Fun fact: Bowles’ defense in New York last season allowed an average of 30 points over the past 10 games of 2018. (more…)

Yeah, the Bucs lost a close game at Seattle. And some are suggesting math tells them not to go for two when the Bucs scored a late touchdown to pull within one. (more…)
