“Abysmal” Kickoff Coverage

Monday, November 17th, 2025

This Ray Davis return ended at the Bills’ 49 yard line yesterday.

So Joe caught up with core Bucs special teams player Josh Hayes yesterday in the locker room after the Bills buried the Bucs 44-32.

Benjamin Morrison Must Step Up Immediately

Monday, November 17th, 2025

Rookie cornerback Benjamin Morrison.

One way to teach a kid how to swim — though not very smart — is how parents did before electricity: Throw a kid in the river and he/she will learn how to swim real quick. (more…)

Sean Tucker’s Big Day

Monday, November 17th, 2025

Five Things

Monday, November 17th, 2025

Buffalo QB Josh Allen raked the Bucs’ defense over the coals Sunday.

What a trash performance by the Bucs’ defense and maybe Todd Bowles’ worst coached game of the year in Buffalo. Certainly, the worst since handing Cleveland an upset win in 2022. Grab your mug. You’re probably going to need two belts of black coffee for this. (more…)

Booger McFarland Fed Up With Lack Of Sacks

Monday, November 17th, 2025

Sadly, not a cornerback.

Word is getting around in NFL circles. (more…)

“There Was Plenty Of Time”

Monday, November 17th, 2025

Bucs coach Todd Bowles winces during the loss to the Bills. So too did Bucs fans.

Joe’s head is still spinning as to why the head coach who applauded his quarterback, Baker Mayfield, for scolding his teammates last week for lacking a “killer instinct” showed on Sunday he didn’t have any either. (more…)

Calm, Confident Bucs’ Postgame Locker Room

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

Joe cruised through the Tampa Bay postgame locker room this afternoon in Buffalo and found very little concern with how the team has lost three of its last four games. (more…)

Bucs Holding Half-Game Lead In NFC South

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

Huge day.

Losing three out of four games has a way of hurting your postseason chances. The Bucs are feeling that burn right now. (more…)

Todd Bowles: Receiver Injuries Haven’t Caught Up To Team

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

Joe watched the Bucs pound the ball on the ground successfully over and over today in Buffalo.

The passing game? It’s got no rhythm, especially in the red zone, and it’s often stuck in the mud. (more…)

“We Talked About Kicking It Out Of Bounds”

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

Todd Bowles

Buffalo’s first 5 kick returns went for 220 yards today. Keep in mind most are caught around the 10 yard line.

Joe asked head coach Todd Bowles about this after the game — whether he considered calling a code red. (more…)

Game Turned When Bucs Gave Up On The Run

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

Quit running at worst time.

Joe typed many times before today’s loss in Buffalo that if the Bucs could get rolling on the ground, they had a great shot of winning. (more…)

Lavonte David Insists Bucs Are Not In A “Lull”

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

Lavonte David talks to Joe.

So the Bucs have lost three out of four games and revived ways to lose today in Buffalo. (more…)

Kickoff Team Awful But Correctable

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

Change strategy?

Joe heard Gene Deckeroff say on the Buccaneers Radio Network in the immediate aftermath of the Bucs’ 44-32 loss to Buffalo today that the Bills averaged 39 yards a kickoff return. (more…)

Baker Mayfield Blames Self For Momentum Swing

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

Points finger at himself.

It was the most points Buffalo has scored in a game all season, despite the defense getting seal-clubbed for 44 points and three takeaways. (more…)

Defense Now A Major Issue

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

What happened, Lavonte?

There is no way in hell the Bucs win a playoff game the way they played defense today. No way in hell. (more…)

Running Baker Mayfield Returns

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

Dual threat again.

Maybe Baker Mayfield is finally healthy from his oblique and knee issues. Regardless, he sure finally looked healthy in Buffalo today. (more…)

Shameful Showing By The Defense

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

Sorry defense.

How bad was the Bucs’ defense today? (more…)

Buffalo 44, Buccaneers 32

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

Physical! The Buccaneers came to play today, well, not really on special teams, but the defense was flying around in the cold Buffalo wind and the offensive line was winning consistently.

Hell, Baker Mayfield even started running and again and lowering his head.

It did not matter. The Bucs weren’t good enough against a very flawed Buffalo team battling its own injuries.

Buffalo rung up 400-plus yards of offense rather easily. Heck the Bucs owned time of possession.

Did the Bucs beat themselves? It sure feels like it. (more…)
