Butchered key play.

One of the non-Tom Brady gaffes that led to the Colts-like collapse of the Bucs tonight came on special teams. (more…)

Carlton Davis.

Damn, a Bucs key to victory today was holding stud Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase to a human game, and they got the job done. (more…)

More history coming from our beloved Buccaneers.

Today was the first time Tom Brady lost a game after having a 17-point lead at halfime, and he locked down the first eight-loss season of his 23-year career. (more…)

Yes, the same guy who wouldn’t let Tom Brady try to beat the Browns in regulation with timeouts in his pocket presided over a fake punt today with the Bucs leading 17-3 and the ball on the Tampa Bay 26 yard line.

It had been a while. And it bodes well for the remaining Bucs regular season schedule, all against absolute crap football teams.

Bucs CB Carlton Davis.

For the Bucs to have a prayer today, they likely will need a couple of big plays from their defense. (more…)

Recruited by Tom Brady.
