Teammate talks up JPP in great detail

Joe has this gnawing feeling the Bucs will miss a whole lot more than just Jason Pierre-Paul’s sacks this season. (more…)

Why not the Bucs, says Bucs TE?

Recently, Bucs tight end Cam Brate was over in England as part of a troupe of NFL players promoting the league and the game to the British soccer snobs and hooligans who just don’t know any better. (more…)

History is not proving kind to the Bucs

Cornerback Aqib Talib has gone to five Pro Bowls, played in three Super Bowls and scored seven touchdowns since getting traded from the Buccaneers to the Patriots.

And recently on ESPN, Talib revealed one reason why that happened after he got rid of his Tampa address. (more…)

Joe sure hopes the important people at One Buc Palace take note of this video and send it to the proper authorities at NFL headquarters. (more…)

Projection.

So will the Bucs be hunting for a quarterback in January or will America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, cement himself as the team’s first franchise quarterback and the first quarterback drafted in team history to receive a second contract? (more…)

Excuse for futility exposed.

Wanna know why Joe tunes out most of the howling about the Bucs’ offensive line? First, it’s not really accurate. Second, it’s a lazy excuse for non-production from running backs. (more…)

A no-surprise message about life under Bucco Bruce Arians was delivered last week by a Bucs player.

For Joe, the surprise was who said it. (more…)

They’re on their way.

Plenty of former Bucs will be making their way to training camp this season at the request of head coach Bucco Bruce Arians. (more…)

Stud.

Memo to opposing defensive backs: Just when you think you have Mike Evans covered, you don’t. (more…)

Bucs fans should smile.

So what’s going to happen? Are the Bucs going to re-sign America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, or will the Bucs be quarterback shopping in January (and maybe coach and general manager shopping, too)? (more…)

Big numbers last year.

There are just so many, many unknowns about this Bucs defense. But Joe is pretty sure of one thing: That Vita Vea may be the NFL’s Next Big Thing. (more…)

Very down on Bucs.

In the eyes of a well-known draftnik, Tampa Bay is a black hole of football that swallows up good players and spits them out because it is the worst-run football operation in the land. (more…)

Big year coming?

One reason why Joe is very, very hesitant to start throwing rose petals at the feet of the Bucs for the 2019 season is there just are way too many questions and too much hope for unproven players to transform into studs to turn this franchise around. (more…)

Calls for liberty.

As we wind down Independence Day by drinking our remaining cold beers, watching fireworks, and witnessing neighbors chasing down their pets who are freaked out by the fireworks, what better way for Joe to commemorate this day than to cite how a former Bucs player is among a growing legion of players and fans wanting independence from bad uniforms. (more…)

No longer the back they drafted

Joe is trying so hard to be optimistic about this new development. (more…)

It was one of the few times in the last decade that it was good to be a Bucs fan. (more…)

Bucs DC Todd Bowles

The first thing Joe thought about when he heard that Bucco Bruce Arians hired former Jets head coach and former Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles was, how did the rest of the NFC South quarterbacks play against a Bowles-led defense? (more…)
