So the Bucs lead the NFL in one objective statistic that has mesmerized the exiled chieftain of the PFF Tribe (Pro Football Focus). (more…)

Chimes in on Mike Evans.

Bucs stud left tackle Tristan Wirfs has some words for world-renowned JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman, or whomever replaces Ira as Tampa Bay’s selector to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. (more…)

A lot of NFL fans thought surely the Bucs-Cowboys game in Week 16, next Sunday, Dec. 22, would be flexed out of its scheduled time slot of an 8:20 p.m. kickoff. This was simply silly non-logic. (more…)

Beastly edge rushers Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack each played more than half the Chargers’ defensive snaps yesterday.

Yeah, Bosa forced a fumble from the paws of Rachaad White, but what else did those monsters collectively do? (more…)

Bucs electric rookie running back Bucky Irving isn’t just having a strong rookie season. (more…)

Mike Evans opens up.

When Mike Evans caught a bullet of a pass from Baker Mayfield down the left seam for a 35-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter yesterday, Joe could just hear it. (more…)

How about a Buccaneers-Lions NFC Championship game?

One NFL analyst thinks it’s a distinct possibility, and no, it’s not Bucs homer and NFL Network personality Gerald McCoy. (more…)

Smelled blood in the water.

Joe still believes the turning point in the game yesterday, a huge Bucs win, was the Jamel Dean interception. (more…)

The Bucs hold the No. 3 NFC playoff seed if the postseason ended today.

But it doesn’t. (more…)

Will Gholston and Shelton Quarles already know Mike Evans is gone on his 57-yard catch-and-run from Baker Mayfield Sunday. (Photo courtesy Buccaneers.com.)

Good effing morning, Bucs fans! What an absolutely awesome Victory Monday this is. Joe hasn’t been this stoked since — well, Joe doesn’t kiss and tell. Joe hasn’t been this stoked over a Bucs win since maybe the Super Bowl win over the Chiefs. That’s how huge yesterday’s curb-stomping of the Chargers was. Make sure your coffee is hot and the mug is filled to the brim.

Let’s roll! (more…)

Team Glazer needs to get creative and aggressive.

It’s time for Team Glazer to get clever and creative and open its vault like never before. (more…)

The Bucs don’t only look destined to make the playoffs, they now hold the No. 3 seed in the NFC. (more…)

Proud of defensive effort.

Lavonte David was ready for physicality. (more…)

Explains change in strategy.

As Joe noted, Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh likes to build a team the way his old Michigan coach Bo Schembechler built them: Tough, physical, scary defense and pounding the football on the ground.

The Bucs today showed Harbaugh how it’s done with the big boys in the NFL. (more…)

So future Hall of Fame receiver Mike Evans walked into today’s blowout of the Chargers with 43 catches for 590 yards and 7 touchdowns.

He walked out with 52 catches, 749 yards, 9 TDs and a big fat smile. (more…)

Makes game-changing play.

The streak is over! (more…)

Dynamite game.

The thing Joe loved so much about this win by the Bucs today was how the Chargers wanted to play smashmouth football and Todd Bowles and his gang flew into town and showed the Chargers how to win with their own formula.

And that, Mike Evans told Joe, was what won the game for the Bucs. (more…)

Bucs head coach Todd Bowles had a message after today’s chain-whipping of the Chargers in Los Angeles. (more…)

Super effort.

So Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers, wearing their Powerpuff blue uniforms (Joe loves them), want to play big boy football with the NFL. Old school Big Ten. Smashmouth.

Well, the Chargers just met the new bully on the block. (more…)
