“Questionable”

If you happen to be down in the dumps today, don’t read the Bucs’ injury report.

For those that crave this sad information, Joe has today’s rundown (not quick).

Did not practice: WR Cyril Grayson (hamstring), C Ryan Jensen (ankle), RB Ronald Jones (ankle), WR Breshad Perriman (hip/abdomen), OLB Jason Pierre-Paul (veteran’s day), RT Tristan Wirfs (ankle). Limited participation: RB Giovani Bernard (hip/knee), QB Tom Brady (veteran’s day), CB Sean Murphy-Bunting (hamstring), T Josh Wells (quadriceps).

Everyone was else was full participation.

Intelligence.

It seems like in almost every win, Bucs safety Mike Edwards makes a big play. The guy is a damn ballhawk. (more…)

If you believe guys who make a living betting on the NFL know more than BSPN talking heads like that fool Bart Scott, then Bucs fans should be very interested in the following. (more…)

Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians

Joe has already typed that folks think so much of Tom Brady, some don’t give Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians the credit he deserves because folks think none of this happens without Brady. (more…)

NFL Network’s Excel queen.

Cynthia Frelund was playing with numbers again. But this time they actually seem to make sense. (more…)

Projection.
