Injury report.

No media availability today other than to watch 30 minutes of dudes warming up. So no one was available to speak today as the Bucs raced home to inhale Thanksgiving grub. Three Bucs starting defenders got sort of a head start. (more…)

Wild YAC numbers.

So earlier this week, “this Joe” dabbed his toe into the fantasy football waters. But only for a brief moment. (more…)

Gotta have him Sunday.

The Bucs need a consistent pass rush, even though they average more sacks per game than in 2002 and the same amount as in 2020. This has been a recurring theme all but three seasons since Joe launched this here site in 2008. (more…)

Surprised Bucs’ star LB.

Well, if Lavonte David ever needed motivation or inspiration… (more…)

Joe sincerely wishes all readers (and the haters addicted to this site) all the best today on one of Joe’s favorite holidays. (more…)

Bucs’ best pass rusher (who plays).

Joe is still moderately triggered that Bucs coach Todd Bowles did not put YaYa Diaby on the field to slow Brock Purdy on Sunday. Purdy was shredding the Bucs defense. (more…)

Injury report.

Joe knew Lavonte David, Carlton Davis, Jamel Dean and Tristan Wirfs were banged up from Sunday’s loss to San Francisco. Now add another key starter to the list of walking wounded. (more…)

Ready to juggle lineup.

It was an ugly scene on the turf of Levi’s Stadium on Sunday. The Bucs lost four starters. (more…)

Injury news.

Little-used rookie undrafted free agent wide receiver Rakim Jarrett had his best game against San Francisco on Sunday. It may be his last. (more…)

Rachaad White

Joe needs medication. Make that more medication. (more…)

See all the taproom menus and all the legendary Big Storm beers at BigStormBrewery.com.

Great specials below at the Clearwater and Ybor City taprooms — upstairs in Centro Ybor!

Rookie receiver Trey Palmer gets a candid critque from Todd Bowles.

Cue the Michael Clayton fan/hate club.

Young Bucs fans may not know who Clayton is. Older Bucs fans may be trying to forget. (more…)

Yes, Baker Mayfield eagerly blocked beastly 49ers edge rusher Nick Bosa on Sunday to help spring receiver Trey Palmer for a six-yard run. (more…)

Rookie cornerback Josh Hayes.

Joe applauded a Todd Bowles answer this afternoon because it cut through all the BS. (more…)

Seasoned Bucs fans have seen the struggles of Tampa Bay’s veteran cornerbacks, the Super Bowl duo of Carlton Davis and Jamel Dean. (more…)

Update.

The way Bucs corner Jamel Dean crumpled to the turf of Levi’s Stadium Sunday and nearly had to be carried off, Joe though surely it was a bad injury.

Alas, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Dean isn’t ruled out for Sunday at Indianapolis.

Dean, per Rapoport, is week-to-week and his foot injury is not considered long-term.

Stretch run of 2023 season.

This may be the most overused phrase in football but dang is it accurate. (more…)

Historic Bucs game.

Joe was so enraged Sunday night how the Bucs didn’t think enough of rushing 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy as he was on his way to having the best game a 49ers quarterback played since the legend Joe Montana in 1989, the Bucs preferred a milk carton on the field (Joe Tryon-Shoyinka) rather than a guy who has three sacks in his last two games (YaYa Diaby).

Joe totally overlooked a Bucs work of greatness on the field of Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. (more…)

Lavonte David

Yeah, the Bucs defense held the 49ers off the scoreboard in the fourth quarter on Sunday. (more…)
