Byron Leftwich’s boss is not happy

Bucco Bruce Arians pointed a finger at his offense — and his playcaller — after today’s humbling loss to the Saints. (more…)

Rough day.

“Totally fixed,” Joe’s rear end. (more…)

Can’t get over the hump.

People wonder why those outside the Tampa Bay area have so little use for the Bucs. Today, once again, demonstrated why. (more…)

Joe’s not sure how the Bucs couldn’t find a way to complete a pass to Mike Evans, but somehow they did today.

That’s not why Evans earns about $20 million per year. (more…)

Someone forgot to tell Joe it was a throwback Bucs game — a throwback to Mike Smith’s defense.

The Bucs’ pass defense is brutal, and it’s even worse when Shaq Barrett doesn’t play out of his mind. Zero pass rush joined forces today with a secondary lacking in talent and Bucs fans paid the price. (more…)

Showtime!

America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, is in the house, and he has a huge challenge on his hands with a stout New Orleans defense and a raucous Superdome crowd. Will the Saints find a way to contain NFL sacks leader Shaq Barrett? First place in the NFC South is on the line.

React with fans all game long in the comments section right here!!

He’s officially active for today’s Saints-Bucs game in New Orleans!

Vernon Hargreaves, M.J. Stewart and Carlton Davis

Those three cornerbacks in the photo above? There’s a great chance two of them must play really well for the Bucs to win today against the Saints.

Shaq Barrett heroics can’t be relied upon indefinitely, and the Bucs aren’t about to stop blitzing, which puts a ton of pressure on defensive backs. (more…)

Four years ago, Bucs fans were hysterical with hope and happiness after Jameis Winston’ first game in New Orleans. (more…)

Big test today.

You know it and Joe knows it. We all expect America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, to have a bad game sooner or later. (more…)

Could make history today.

Today, Bucs pass rushing freak Shaq Barrett is going for NFL history. Sort of. (more…)

Game 5

Bucs (2-2) at Saints (3-1)

Kickoff: 1 p.m.

TV: WTVT-TV Channel 13, DirecTV/NFL Sunday Ticket Channel 712.

Saints DC Dennis Allen

It should be a quite a chess match tomorrow between the Saints defense and the Tampa Bay offense. (more…)

No.

Someone get to Bucco Bruce Arians. Quickly. (more…)

Second-year receiver Justin Watson, the big, strong, fast cat out of the University of Pennsylvania, caught his first ball of the season last Sunday.

But it seems he might be sinking fast on the Tampa Bay depth chart. (more…)

Bucco Bruce Arians said multiple times this week that he’s fired up about the speed and skill cornerback Ryan Smith will bring to the Bucs’ coverage units on special teams.

Smith was suspended for the first four games of this season for performance enhancing drug use, and the Bucs finally made his return to the roster official today.

Man, those Bucs coverage teams can use Smith. Rookie Sean Murphy-Bunting has been looking a bit lost out there.

Huge game Sunday and Derrick Brooks is all over it with Sage JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman in this episode of TAMPA TWO. Enjoy it below, presented by Caldeco Air Conditioning & Heating. It’s another great production from The Identity Tampa Bay and Joe.
