What a waste. What a colossal waste.

What a damned shame.

This Buc offense, crafted by Dirk Koetter and Todd Monken, is the best in franchise history … by a wide margin. But that’s not all. (more…)

It’s Fitz! (more…)

Dirk Koetter, Jason Licht and players might not understand the absolute peril the Buccaneers franchise is in right now and how that relates to fans, but Team Glazer sure does and so does Joe. (more…)

Outraged at thought of Jameis starting again.

Want a glimpse of what it may be like in the Bucs locker room? Then watch former Pro Bowl fullback Michael Robinson. (more…)

Joe has written about all of these separately, but given the rock-bottom state Jameis Winston now finds himself in, Joe finds it relevant to put these all together in one post for the purpose of analysis. (more…)

NFL coaches love to say competition is desired at every position because it’s what elevates players’ games.

Well, America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, got his first taste of competition in many, many years and has fallen on his face.  (more…)

“Greg, Koetter and Licht are in a real pinch, you know? And Jameis hasn’t gone mental like the fool we had to deal with.”

If Bucs fans believe the decision whether or not to start America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, next week at Carolina is as simple as wins and losses and interceptions, think again. (more…)

Joe feels like he just came back from the doctor’s office after receiving life-altering health news. Joe can never remember being this bummed over an October loss. (more…)

Among several standouts

Yes, Joe could join many Bucs fans and cry in a bowl of Wheaties this morning or go refill a Valium prescription, but Joe is determined not to let the crumbling of the franchise quarterback soil the memory of strong Bucs performances yesterday. (more…)

No fear a bad thing?

Watch you talkin’ ’bout Willis? (more…)

Smoke signals of discontent from mom?

So yesterday Joe awakened and soon after heard the news that wasn’t surprising at all but still depressing. (more…)

Candid

Nineteen quarters of football plus an overtime. That’s the answer to an ugly 2018 Buccaneers trivia question that puts a spotlight on the biggest problem facing the team. (more…)

Forget the late comeback effort and look at the standings.

Welcome back, Mr. Koetter, to the basement of the NFC South. Yes, even after a 2-0 start, Tampa Bay is looking up at the Saints, Panthers and Falcons.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, the Bucs have a quarterback quandary on their hands. Dirk Koetter didn’t want to make a decision after Sunday’s setback, so I’ll make it for him. (more…)

“Jason, man, if you can’t trade a guy with my talent for a second-round pick, then you’re doing something wrong.”

DeSean Jackson continues to deliver historical performances for Bucs fans.

Last week it was busting 10,000 yards for his career, only the 47th man in history to claim that mark. (more…)

Bucs coach speaks on trade rumor.

This morning an NFL Network report claimed Bucs receiver DeSean Jackson had asked for a trade. (more…)

Minutes before the Bucs-Bengals kickoff, general manager Jason Licht hopped on the Buccaneers Radio Network for his weekly state of the franchise chat with Gene Deckerhoff. (more…)
