Sad third-and-long numbers.

It’s enough for Joe to chug Prestone. (more…)

Warm seat.

It is that time of the year. You can smell it in the air (no, not the bathrooms at the Den of Depression.) (more…)

This week, Jeff and Tom hash it out. What is Jameis? What can Jameis be? Why isn’t he where we all expected him to be? It gets heated! But as the offseason looms and another last place finish is all but assured, it’s time for a self-examination. ScuttleBucs… buckle up!

Presented by Fan Retreat, The ScuttleBucs podcast is right here every Wednesday afternoon on JoeBucsFan.com, hosted by Jeff Cameron and Tom Lang, powerhouse personalities and lifelong Bucs fans at ESPN Tallahassee, 97.9 FM.

Since it’s Jon Gruden week at One Buc Palace in advance of Chucky’s Ring Of Honor induction on Monday night, here’s one thing Chucky didn’t do when he was head coach — and something he should consider if he ever is one again. (more…)

Rock Riley (@RealRockRiley), everyone’s favorite Tampa Bay sports multimedia guru, is back in the Bucs locker room and shooting video in the bowels of the Stadium on Dale Mabry Highway. Great stuff today, but why is Chris “Swaggy” Baker seemingly so happy right after Sundy’s loss? Odd.

Catch Rock’s reports here every Monday, Wednesday & Friday.

You know it’s bad when Buccaneers fans are wondering what edge rushers like Tim Crowder, Stylez White and Howard Jones are up to these days.

(Jones, now with the Bears, sacked Andy Dalton on Sunday, in case you were wondering.) (more…)

Victim of organization

You know what is sad? The Bucs have one of the greatest defensive tackles of his era and his talents largely have been p!ssed away. (more…)

Joe will keep this very simple.

Take off the pewter glasses and the Buccaneers have just one thoroughly deserving Pro Bowl player to represent the NFC in Orlando next month. One.

His name is Lavonte David.

Sure, you could make weak arguments for Brent Grimes, Gerald McCoy and Patrick Murray, but David is the guy worth fighting for this year.

Who has an agenda to split these two up?

If one is to swallow Ian Rapoport’s report whole, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter was and is in a no-win situation. (more…)

Frustrating numbers.

Since the honeymoon days of Lovie Smith’s tenure, the Bucs’ head coach talked about wanting fast starts. (more…)

“I don’t have a magic wand.”

Joe has already had to replace his DirecTV remote from spiking the damn thing on his tile living room floor because the defensive line of the Bucs acts as if opposing quarterbacks are tuberculosis carriers. (more…)

Brent Grimes

Imagine the Buccaneers without 34-year old Brent Grimes.

(See Minnesota in Game 2). (more…)

Not lacking focus.

Joe noticed some, in the wake of yet another loss, this one to the limp Lions, reached for the tried and true empty excuse to wave off responsibility: Distractions! (more…)

Getting national props.

It is understandable if Bucs fans aren’t seeing positives when the team is gunning for a 4-12 record, plus fans also have to worry about repairing the door ripped off its hinges after another losing Sunday. (more…)
