Flash poll posted at 9:07 a.m. Poll closed at 11:01 a.m. Last week’s results linked here.

Todd Bowles

One reason Joe enjoys reading Warren Sharp and the stats his elves dig up is because of the gems they unearth. (more…)

Ready to carry bigger load.

It took a long, long while, but the Bucs’ running game finally was kick-started in Munich. (more…)

Value of Chris Godwin.

Yesterday was the first time Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich spoke to the local pen and mic club since the Bucs offense finally broke out and had a strong game in a win over the Seahawks in Munich. (more…)

Bucs OC Bryon Leftwich.

So Joe is still trying to figure out if the best game the Bucs have played offensively right before the bye, over Seattle in Munich, was a fluke or a sign of things to come. (more…)

Talks return.

Bucs defensive back Logan Ryan was in the Bucs’ locker room yesterday — about a week and a half after he Twittered in the hours after the Bucs beat the Seahawks that he would return “soon.” (more…)

Math time, Julio.

Joe loves when Tom Brady starts fast-talking.

As a rule, that’s when he’s being more transparent and candid. (more…)

Todd Bowles

The must-watch Todd Bowles accountability speech to the team is in the video below.

Presumably it was given a few days prior to the Week 9 Rams game, which makes it more interesting. (more…)

Focused on now.

When Tom Brady played with the Belicheats, some seasons began rather blah and then the next thing you know the Belicheats were in the Super Bowl. (more…)

Can he take advantage?

Look, the Bucs seemed like they were the old Bucs in Munich. Running and throwing with success. (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 ILB Devin White.

Joe is actually concerned about the Browns. Yeah, the Browns. (more…)

Lavonte David

As a face of The Lost Decade of Buccaneers football, Lavonte David knows the years of pain he endured.

And he’s unafraid to share it with teammates. (more…)

Gigantic men and foot injuries are a terrible mix.

And this one feels worse given the recent clarification of Vita Vea’s weight. (more…)

Leonard “Lombardi Lenny” Fournette took a couple of losses against the Seahawks 10 days ago despite the Buccaneers big win. (more…)

Head coach Todd Bowles keeps telling media — again today — that he’s not getting a definitive internal medical update on center Ryan Jensen’s blown knee.

Joe doesn’t buy it, but regardless, Jensen hasn’t practiced since the late-July disaster.

Joe asked Bowles today about Jensen’s potential return this season and Bowles threw a bunch of cold water on it.

“We expect to go without him,” Bowles said.

So there you go. It’s Robert Hainsey or bust … for now.

Former Bucs QB Shaun King.

Longtime readers here know Joe believes former Bucs QB Shaun King is one of most reasoned and seasoned NFL and Bucs analysts on the planet. (more…)

In episode 45 of this season’s Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast, Todd looks at many surprisingly productive fantasy running backs who will be in action on Thanksgiving Day.

Bucs OL coach Joe Gilbert.

So the Bucs offensive line sucks, eh? (more…)

“Tom, text Dana White I need ringside seats for UFC after we win the Super Bowl.”

Bucs stud wide receiver Mike Evans was always a baller. But Evans believes he raised his game on the shoulders of one guy. (more…)
