There are lots of reasons the Bucs lost to the Falcons on Thursday. A cynical fan might say there were well over 500.

But Joe thinks it’s safe to say rookie running back Bucky Irving thinks he lost the game for the Bucs. (more…)

Free man.

Philadelphia has had enough. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Yes, Joe is still muttering into a pint of cold beer at Hooters about how the Bucs choked away a game last week in Atlanta. (more…)

Catching up.

Until recently, Bucs receiver Chris Godwin was getting roughly a third of all Bucs targets from Baker Mayfield. But the target percentage is beginning to even out. (more…)

So the Bucs really have two defenses within their 30th-ranked defense (yards-per-game allowed). (more…)

Breathe easy, Bucs fans.

Don’t look at the weather report and listen to the words of Lavonte David. (more…)

“But no sacks, coach.”

This ought to enrage the pressures-are-more-important-than-sacks crowd. (more…)

Joe is feeling too much Bucs depression among fans. (more…)

“Hey Buck, one of us has to get 90 yards. You feel me?”

Joe is still waiting. (more…)

Short and sweet (throws).

Joe doesn’t know whether to be worried or not. (more…)

Scheduled for MRI.

The slimy Saints may have lost much more than a ballgame last night. (more…)

“Hey Ira, how bout you and the boys leave the O-line evaluation to the professionals. I don’t tell you how to conjugate a verb or eat a donut.”

So Week 2 punching bag right tackle Justin Skule is no longer a guy Bucs fans are screaming about or wishing to be traded to a future Bucs opponent. (more…)

If you thought the carving of the Bucs’ interior pass defense Thursday night felt historic, well, that’s because it was.

Joe’s got the numbers. (more…)

Flash poll posted at 12:40 p.m. Poll closed 1:41 p.m.

So the Bucs are bolting town tomorrow to set up shop in New Orleans and prepare to face the slimy Saints on Sunday.

It will be more than a business trip. (more…)

The NFL’s best.

So what NFL quarterback has had his hand — and legs — in the most touchdowns this season? (more…)

The Bucs are bugging out. (more…)

 Todd Bowles
