In these desperate times for the Buccaneers’ receivers room, Joe thinks it’s wise to take a Sterling Shepard mindset and look at one receiver for which Baker Mayfield has tremendous respect. (more…)

Joe has thrown darts at Rachaad White quite a bit over the past year. He’s deserved them. (more…)

Not everyone worked?

Joe isn’t sure if cornerback Zyon McCollum was suggesting the Bucs didn’t prepare enough this week for the Crows, or that his teammates were too quick to make business decisions. (more…)

Fighter.

Joe is seeing a whole bunch of people both on social media and on this here website killing Todd Bowles for leaving Chris Godwin in the game when the Bucs should have otherwise raised a white flag, run a couple of dive plays and got the hell in the locker room. (more…)

Chris Godwin.

This may make some people call in sick to work this morning. (more…)

Exactly a month ago today when the Bucs lost to the Broncos, Joe was outraged. When the Bucs choked away a win against the Dixie Chicks, Joe was as p!ssed off as he has ever been at a Bucs loss. Still is. (more…)

What next?

In a couple of hours last night, the Bucs went from one of the best teams in the NFC if not the league, and perhaps the best team in the NFC South, to looking like a team that will have a top-10 pick in the draft. (more…)

“It’s going to be tough.”

So what are the Bucs going to do for an offense now? (more…)

Can he fix the defense?

As a commenter on this here site typed on Monday night: (more…)

Every week this season Joe is impressed by third-year cornerback Zyon McCollum. (more…)

Air left the balloon.

Joe doesn’t have field access in any NFL stadium. So at times, the only way Joe can judge what’s happening on the bench is by sight. (more…)

Game (season?) turned on injury.

Color Joe unconvinced that the Bucs have a defense capable of being counted on to win games when the offense is sputtering. That was very evident tonight at The Licht House. (more…)

Joe is having trouble digesting how far the Bucs defense has fallen. (more…)

How bad?

Could the Bucs season hinge on an upcoming injury report? Well, if you judge what happened in the second quarter and late in the game Monday night, it could. (more…)

Baker Mayfield owned up to “dumb” throws tonight and lamented the loss of the Bucs’ star receivers after the 41-31 loss to the Ravens. (more…)

UPDATED: Todd Bowles delivered the news on the Buccaneers Radio Network. Chris Godwin’s serious injury is an ankle.

Is it broken? Bowles gave no details.

UPDATE: Per Ira Kaufman, Bowles said in his postgame remarks that the Bucs thought Godwin may have a dislocated ankle.

Joe was in the stadium tunnel near the Bucs’ locker room when Godwin suffered his injury. He was taken to an X-ray/examination room.

Joe did see what police confirmed to Joe was Godwin’s family jogging through the tunnel hurrying to the exam room to be with him.

Prayers are with Chris Godwin tonight.

He suffered a major ankle injury with the game out of reach. Why he was on the field, Joe has no idea. (more…)
