Outside of his magical 2010 Bucs season of 25 touchdowns, six interceptions and 10 wins, Josh Freeman was a turnover machine.

He finished his career with 68 interceptions in 61 starts against 81 touchdowns. (more…)

Dominant.

Is Vita Vea the most powerful defensive tackle in the game? That may be a stretch, but an NFL Network analyst actually went there. (more…)

Rookie DBs struggling.

General manager Jason Licht

Regulars here know Joe runs a weekly, 24-hour confidence poll that measures Bucs fans’ confidence in the head coach. Joe started it during the Lovie Smith administration.

Lots of fans send Joe nasty notes because they want the same poll for general manager Jason Licht. And those hate-filled messages have been escalating.

Yes, Joe publishes GM polls, but since the GM doesn’t call plays, Joe doesn’t poll fans every week on front office performance. That’s typically done before and after the draft, when roster cuts are made in September, and then during the bye week and following the regular season.

So yes, the Jason Licht Confidence Poll is coming next week as scheduled. So please stop barking your hate at Joe.

So what went wrong for the Buccaneers against the Panthers?

Yeah, yeah, seven turnovers is too easy an answer. (more…)

“No.”

Apparently NFL teams have reached out to Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht. (more…)
