All is not scary along the Buccaneers’ offensive line.

All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs injured an oblique muscle Thursday in practice and walked off the field with a trainer before returning to watch.

Today, head coach Todd Bowles reported that Wirfs’ injury is a “day-to-day” situation and there are no concerns about him being ready in 21 days for the season-opener in Dallas.

Hallelujah!

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

If Joe was Todd Bowles, Joe would have been all up in the grill of whoever pulled that stunt last night to leave a potential starter at the team’s thinnest position in a sh!t game with three minutes left in the third quarter against a bunch of USFL wannabes. (more…)

Coach has his back.

Joe noticed on social media that Bucs third-string quarterback Kyle Trask caught hell last night. And Todd Bowles had a message for those folks: Back off. (more…)

Guard Aaron Stinnie.

After last night’s game, Joe fully understands why significant others of Bucs fans do not want their loved ones anywhere near a showerhead today. (more…)

“Hey Glazers, this is how you treat me after I’ve given you more gifts than you could imagine, and you were dying to hire me in 2018? You ungrateful %$#@#$%#^&*^@.

UPDATED 11:16 p.m.: Before Jon Gruden was canceled by Team Glazer and the NFL for offensive old emails, he was enshrined into the Buccaneers Ring of Honor in 2018.

After tonight’s news, Chucky should be reinstated immediately. (more…)

Tom Brady intel.

You wanna get people to stick around after halftime of a garbage preseason game (sorry for the redundancy)? Make sure the guy who won the franchise’s last Super Bowl and is still working for the team shows up in the broadcast booth in the third quarter. (more…)

Joe probably should have had an EKG when Bucs stud running back Leonard Fournette started tonight’s meaningless preseason game and took the opening handoff up the gut for 10 yards. (more…)

Joe has no doubt that devoted family man and work-life balance devotee Tom Brady was huddled around the TV with his Bucs-loving family tonight watching the Tennessee-Tampa Bay preseason game.

Shaky game.

It’s another week of glorious Buccaneers football!

Preseason Week 2 is here with the Bucs in Tennessee. Not a lot of starters on the field but plenty of starting jobs and roster spots are up for grabs.

Comment all game long below, and stick with Joe all night for plenty out of this game.
