With apologies to Zyon McCollum and Cade Otton, Joe feels comfortable saying the Bucs were not ready for prime time tonight.

But the Bucs have great leadership, Joe. Pfffft!

Tampa Bay’s defense was embarrassed after the Ravens’ opening drive. Baltimore scored on their next six possessions. Ballgame. (more…)

Huge game at The Licht House with the Ravens and Bucs each sporting 4-2 records, high-octane offenses and Super Bowl dreams.

Comment all game long with fellow fans and a few haters. 

Play nice. Go Bucs!

Gamer.
