Making history.

Attention please: Joe will interrupt this morning’s foot-stomping and facepalming over that ghastly coaching debacle yesterday to try to bring some uplifting information that may keep folks from climbing atop the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. (more…)

If you are as depressed as Joe is this morning over yesterday’s events, you are going to want to have an extra cup of strong coffee nearby. It’s one of those mornings. (more…)

Columnist not buying.

If you are like Joe, you keep checking that you haven’t downed a bottle of Crown Royal when someone reminds you the Bucs (5-6) are in first place. (more…)

218-1.

A Bucs coach (twice) didn’t want to go for the kill shot on fourth-and-short in Cleveland territory in the fourth quarter. (more…)

Flash poll posted at 6:49 p.m. Poll closed at 10:48 p.m.

Messages not getting through?

Yeah, the Bucs didn’t play great. They surely didn’t get help from their trusted, accountable coaches along the sidelines, either. (more…)

Pay attention, Team Glazer. (more…)

Who really is accountable?

Recently, Bucs coach Todd Bowles had a speech about accountability that didn’t exactly resonate with Joe and you could argue never resonated with the Bucs offense. (more…)

Friends in broadcast booth.

For the most part, Joe enjoyed the FOX presentation today of the Bucs-Browns game. It was the game that made Joe want to jump through a window, not the broadcast. (more…)

Bucco Bruce Arians.

It’s time for egos to be swallowed at One Buc Palace, and time for Team Glazer and Jason Licht to make executive decisions.

Either you’re all-in to win, or you’re conning fans and cheating yourselves. (more…)

“Todd doesn’t like that, Tom.”

Barring the Bucs running the table and the offense exploding to close the regular season, Tom Brady will lose seven games in a season for the first time since 2002, and he’ll have his lowest touchdown total since his first season as a starter in 2001. (more…)

Bucs OC Byron Leftwich.

Former slimy Saints and Jets linebacker Jonathan Vilma called a spade a spade today on the FOX broadcast of the Bucs-Browns debacle and he hit the nail on the head. (more…)

Faded fast.

There are a lot of reasons why the Bucs were humiliated in Cleveland today, but Joe has to point to the weak rushing attack.

Yeah, Rachaad White ran through a massive hole on his first carry for 35 yards, but what did he do after that? (more…)

Worst game as Bucs head coach.

Before Joe gets rolling, let Joe first point out that Bucs coach Todd Bowles, who is in charge of the defense, had a solid gameplan. (more…)

If you love ugly, underachieving football, then this Bucs team is for you. (more…)

Comment all game here fellow Tampa Bay fans and a few haters.

Play nice, please. And stick around all afternoon and evening for Joe’s award-winning postgame coverage of this nearly must-win game.

Will play today.

This is great news! (more…)

Joe’s been known to make a wager or three and there’s a fun and exciting trend out there that applies to non-bettors, too. (more…)

Kyle Rudolph

No big surprises for today’s 1 o’clock kickoff in Cleveland.

Healthy former Pro Bowl tight end Kyle Rudolph still can’t get on the field, so he’ll be hanging out with always-inactive quarterback Kyle Trask.

Also in street clothes today are Leonard Fournette (bad hip), Russell Gage (hamstring), Luke Goedeke (foot) and safety Nolan Turner.

Joe’s eyes are on the prize. And that’s the No. 3 seed in the NFC Playoffs. (more…)

Bucs OC Bryon Leftwich.

It’s real simple. It’s either the players or the coaches. (more…)
