Saints 37, Buccaneers 31 (OT)

Sunday, October 5th, 2014

SaintsTD

The Bucs shot themselves in the foot with penalties and drops early, and they did the same thing late.

In between it was pretty good, but that’s meaningless for your cellar-dweller Buccaneers.

The Bucs are 1-4 with three division losses. Liquor stores will be busy tonight across the Tampa Bay area. (more…)

Why Support Amendment 2?

Doctors should have the freedom to recommend the treatment they deem appropriate for their patients – including medical marijuana.

Marijuana – legal as medicine under state law in 23 states and the District of Columbia – has been shown to be an effective treatment for the symptoms and side effects associated with HIV/AIDS, Cancer, Hepatitis C, PTSD, MS and other neuromuscular disorders, Glaucoma, dystonia, and chronic pain. The American College of Physicians, American Public Health Association, American Nurses Association, and many other associations and organizations support the availability of medicinal marijuana.

Bucs At Saints, Open Thread

Sunday, October 5th, 2014

bucs cheerleader 0801So here we go. Bucs at Saints at the (loud) Superdome. Just the intercom in the press box is blowing Joe’s ears out.

The Saints are struggling. The Bucs have their issues. This is a big game for the Bucs. A win would both be a statement game for Lovie Smith, and keep the Bucs in contention for the division crown, an improbable thought just two weeks ago. That’s how awful the NFC has performed played.

Bang it here with your Bucs comments through the game. This the place to be! In the neighborhood of 1,000 comments are expected. As always, you may e-mail links of game feeds among yourselves but posting a URL of an illegal feed can and will get you banned. Thanks, and go Bucs!

Gameplan To Beat The Saints

Saturday, October 4th, 2014

Jackson and Glenno

The Bucs may face their most important game this season tomorrow. A win against the Saints may not look impressive, but it would be very impressive given the recent history of the two clubs.

A win would validate the program Lovie Smith is building in Tampa Bay. A win means Bucs fans may have to put a hold on their January vacation plans. A loss would do just the opposite. (more…)

Prime Time College Football

Saturday, October 4th, 2014

auburnWow, what an afternoon that was, wasn’t it? First time so many top-10 teams went down since 1990.

Damn, Joe loves college football! So can the craziness continue? Auburn hosts LSU and Michigan State faces off against sleeper Nebraska with the best running back in college. Bang it here for your thoughts, and how the polls should play out and what realtor Will Muschamp may use.

Michael Johnson Swimming Upstream

Saturday, October 4th, 2014
Bucs DE Michael Johnson may never be 100 percent this season.

Lovie Smith says Michael Johnson may never be 100 percent this season.

Joe was among a lot of guys. He was impatient with Michael Johnson. The man the Bucs dropped bags of Team Glazer cash on in order to lure him to Tampa Bay was hailed by the new Lovie Smith administration as the savior of a putrid pass rush.

Until last week, Johnson was anything but a savior. He was invisible, which is hard to do being as tall as he is. (more…)

“Sounds Like A Weak Answer”

Saturday, October 4th, 2014

mike glennon 1001Mike Glennon knows his role as a backup turned starter who is not allowed to talk like a No. 1 quarterback yet because his head coach won’t give him the job.

Glennon even knows how to respond like a guy who should speak like a No. 2.

Offensive Line Coming Together

Saturday, October 4th, 2014
Anthony Collins and the Bucs offensive line are asserting themselves.

Anthony Collins and the Bucs offensive line are asserting themselves.

In the preseason, the Bucs’ offensive line would have scared even Freddie Kruger it was so bad. Limited holes to run through, and, egad, the (lack of) pass protection.

Joe was starting to worry for Josh McCown’s well-being. (more…)
