So arguably the biggest Bucs question entering the 2025 season surrounded rookie playcaller Josh Grizzard, the 35-year-old promoted to fill the big shoes of Liam “El Serpiente” Coen.

Last year, the Bucs averaged 29.5 points per game. (more…)

Be honest. You were like Joe. (more…)

You won’t catch Joe downplaying this massive Buccaneers road win today to up their record to 4-1.

Putting 38 points on the Seahawks is no small accomplishment. Only the Lions carved up the Seattle defense like that last season. This season’s highest total on the Seahawks had been 20 points. (more…)

Might the Bucs be winless without rookie receiver phenom Emeka Egbuka?

Maybe, but nobody cares because he belongs to Tampa Bay and is tearing up the NFL. (more…)

The Bucs scored on their opening drive for a change and kept pouring it on Seattle over and over and over again to the tune of 38 points and 426 yards.

Someone put Logan Hall’s helmet in the Buccaneers’ Ring of Honor.

Sam Darnold fired a late pass into Hall’s head and Lavonte David caught it to set up the winning score.

What. A. Game!

The Bucs are 4-1! (more…)

COMMENT ALL GAME LONG below. Big game if you’re thinking playoff seeding and tiebreakers. Tampa Bay and Seattle are both 3-1

Play nice! No insults.

Go Bucs!

Emeka Egbuka

Bucs rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka drew a stunning comparison last week. (more…)

Bucs RB Bucky Irving.

This comes straight from the Twitter of uber NFL insider Adam Schefter. (more…)

Gritty.

So last week, Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians was on “Up and Adams” with the seductive Kay Adams, and Adams wanted more. (more…)

Slow starts.

An ugly thing has taken place as the Bucs break in a new offensive coordinator. Again. (more…)

Rare national praise.

In the Tampa Bay area, Joe seems to think cornerback Jamel Dean is the most disliked player on the Bucs. (more…)

Big play in front of his homies?
