Joe has been up damn near all night and it has nothing to do with the barbeque shrimp and jambalaya he had at Mulate’s last night. (more…)

As every Bucs fan painfully knows, coaches, players and personnel staff have pushed Team Glazer to a point where big — and fast — decisions must be made. The Commish, Justin Pawlowski, a former voice on the Buccaneers Radio Network, an ex-college football player and a lifelong Bucs fan, dives into that subject this morning.

He drops loads of passion and knowledge, and works in plenty of rabid fan takes, too. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, Bucs Uncensored unifies Tampa Bay fans (Stick Carriers!) in every corner of the universe. You can be a part of the show. Just email a 90-second-or-less audio blast to BucsUncensored@gmail.com. Listen above or subscribe on iTunes right here, or at Podbean.com. Justin’s work is not influenced by JoeBucsFan.com. Joe just thinks it’s very, very, very special. **CAUTION: some R-RATED language!* 

PRESENTED BY

Mike Smith is delivering fans an unwanted Lovie flashback.

Halfway through the 2017 season, your Bucs pass defense has now regressed to where it was during the Lovie Smith era.

Consider that entering today’s slate of NFL games, only two starting QBs were completing passes at a 70 percent clip, Josh McCown and Tom Brady. (more…)

Flash poll posted at 6:09 p.m. Polls will close in two hours.

Curious words.

A lot of readers of this here website think Joe has some agenda against Doug Martin. The word “hate” is often abused by these people. (more…)

Roster architect

General manager Jason Licht has spoken often about winning in the NFL Draft. Licht likes to say winning in the draft is 90 percent about evaluating players from the neck up, aka picking guys with the right mentality because raw talent is everywhere.

(more…)

Walked without aid.

Obviously today, fan favorite, left tackle Donovan Smith did not take the field in the second half of the Big Easy Blowout. (more…)

The belly of the Buccaneers defense today reminded Joe a lot of his gut when it’s not filled with beer or Abe’s Place wings. (more…)

Fingers Saints’ CB.

When Mike Evans got tossed from the game today for blasting Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, there is no one to blame but Lattimore. (more…)

Joe really thought Donovan Smith would bounce back today from his rough game against the Panthers last Sunday.

He didn’t.  (more…)

Ashamed.

A dejected winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter did not deny his job could be in jeopardy the way the Bucs have fallen off a cliff, now losing five straight games. (more…)

Joe loves the Bucs and is in agony like the rest of the Tampa Bay faithful, but it troubled Joe deeply to see the Bucs’ two offensive captains fall apart with the season on the line today. (more…)

Scapegoat for season?

The problems with the offense? Joe could point to one area and the offense is fixed: running the ball. (more…)

There is one major factor here that is far more important than any win(s) now that the 2017 season is toast. (more…)

The early punt block sort of said it all.

Joe feels absolutely kicked in the gut, punched in the groin.

Again, the Bucs were non-competitive. That’s four crap shows in eight games. That’s the kind of stuff that rolls heads, Rightfully so.

Dirk Koetter has no answers. Jameis Winston’s pregame gobbling of Ws is meaningless. This team has no leadership and questionable talent and desire. (more…)

Time to move on.

Joe knows this won’t go over well with the Doug Martin fanboys, as they will react to this post like drug addicts during an intervention. (more…)

Comment throughout today’s Bucs-Saints game with intense, wild and often reasoned fans. Great fun!

Direct the personal attacks at New Orleans players and coaches, not each other (Joe’s filters are tuned up for the haters.)

Enjoy and prepare for Joe’s award-winning postgame coverage, including Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways.

Go Bucs!

Hopes last week turning point for defense.

Last week the Bucs defense, which was truly horrid through much of the first six games, perhaps played its best game of the season against Carolina. (more…)

JOE will be pleased to buy you one beer BEFORE the game. Look for Joe in the bar area.

Please join Joe for a watch party event at Abe’s Place in Clearwater. Great place to watch the Bucs, and there’s NFL Sunday Ticket, too.

Amazing food, WiFi, giant craft beer selection on tap, indoor and outdoor seating, and more. Joe will have giveaways, too. Kickoff at 1 p.m.

Harsh words for Bucs QB.

It is getting ugly out there for the Bucs. (more…)

More prominent national hot-seat talk

As ecstatic as Bucs fans were last year as Tampa Bay rode a five-game winning streak to national respect and to what felt like a true team culture change, they’ll do a complete 180 and be at rock bottom today if the Bucs lose their fifth-straight in New Orleans. (more…)
