“Jason, are you hearing this %^&$?”

This surely will elicit the following response from many Bucs fans: “Brady Quinn sucked as a player. What does he know? Pffft.” (more…)

First up for the revamped Bucs defense

There’s a real Buccaneers football game in nine short days — nine!!

Status could affect bubble

In the days leading up to last night’s game in Dallas to end the preseason, the Bucs had hoped to get starting safety Justin Evans back on the field. (more…)

As Bucs fans now turn their full focus to the regular season — just nine days away! — it feels good to hear positive vibes from a Hall of Famer not affiliated with Tampa Bay. (more…)

He’s in and he speaks.

So even after the Bucs drafted a middle linebacker fifth overall, second-year linebacker Jack Cichy beat the odds and, per Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians last night, has made the team. (more…)

The Bucs hoped safety Justin Evans would play last night in Dallas after finally getting an official medical clearance to play Sunday for the first time this year.

It didn’t happen. (more…)

Too late or just enough?

Something positive. (more…)

Hurricane Dorian is definitely on Bucco Bruce Arians’ radar and he talked about it after tonight’s preseason finale in Dallas. (more…)

Kicker philosophy.

Three years ago, Bucs fans and media types howled when Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht traded up into the second round and selected kicker Roberto Aguayo. (more…)

Impressed

An answer has arrived. (more…)

Comment all game with fellow Bucs fans and a few haters thrown in. It’s fun. It’s annoying. It’s tradition!

The Bucs are in Dallas tonight wrapping up the too-long preseason.

Play nice, please. And stick around after the game for various happenings and thoughts from Joe.

Will have Bucs tonight.

The hassle is over. The Bucs are back on DirecTV. (more…)

Last call?

Remember three months ago when Bucco Bruce Arians said the Buccaneers secondary was “totally fixed” from last year’s mess?
