Befuddled.

Joe is not sure how many Bucs fans had a chance to watch Todd Bowles’ press conference yesterday from One Buc Palace. He might only have two more. (more…)

Bucs QB Baker Mayfield.

Joe suspects at some point during the offseason, probably at the combine in late February, we will start hearing stories about how hurt Baker Mayfield has been this season. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Many things made Bucs fans beat their heads against the wall in the loss to Miami last week. Punting from midfield on fourth-and-one against a sorry defense, not running Sean Tucker and/or Rachaad White more, Joe could go on. (more…)

Is it time to draft a defensive playmaker or is it time to roll the dice in the playoffs where weird things happen? (more…)

Has good vibes for old friend.

Make that two Bucs insiders/employees that don’t seem to believe Todd Bowles will be the ex-Bucs head coach next month. (more…)

Todd Bowles during his Jets days.

Bucs head coach Todd Bowles spent four years coaching the New York Jets (2015-2018). His teams in New York got progressively worse and there were many credible reports that his defense quit on him. (more…)

Before last week’s game, Baker Mayfield was completely off the official injury report.

Now he’s back on it with two injuries. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

So we all saw it last night. A team that had nothing to play for and would have been much better off tanking than winning, the Dixie Chicks, came out against the Rams with passion and fire and equally as important, physicality, and upset Los Angeles. (more…)

What is going to snap the Bucs out of their horrible funk?

What will get them to play focused and with their hair on fire in front of a national TV audience on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.? (more…)

There is still hope.

While most Bucs fans appear resigned to shovel dirt in the Bucs’ faces this week, thinking the 2025 season comes to an end at The Licht House on Saturday, one prominent national NFL scribe is thinking the opposite. (more…)

Team Glazer is lurking.

Bucs ownership and management have not confirmed Todd Bowles will coach the team next season, despite a firestorm of distractions before a key game in the form of fans screaming from rooftops for his job. So Joe assumes Team Glazer is still assessing whether Bowles is worth keeping. (more…)

A family-owned Tampa icon since 1960, one mile north of the stadium on Dale Mabry Highway.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Are the Bucs going to resort to only working on fundamentals this week in practices leading up to their final game of the 2025 NFL regular season, Saturday? (more…)

Freefall.

Joe is just going to throw this out there: If the Bucs miss out on the playoffs this weekend (not only do the Bucs have to win to make the playoffs, so too do the slimy Saints), is this the biggest collapse in franchise history? (more…)

Needs more touches.

Alright, if the Bucs are going to win Saturday with the hope and a prayer they can make the playoffs — the slimy Saints also must win on Sunday — it might be time to get the running game going. (more…)

“Learn to love me, Bucs fans!”

Joe has a love/hate relationship with the Big Easy, New Orleans. (more…)
