Update.

Is Todd Bowles already frustrated with starters in the tub too much? (more…)

Former Carolina coach Matt Rhule

Bad news for the Bucs. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht

When Joe railed about last year’s secondary and players like the bottle of cologne, cornerback Pierre Desir, and washed out Richard Sherman, some fans called Joe an A-hole and worse. (more…)

Lenny gets some YAC Sunday.

Yes, Playoff Lenny is a complete back. And here’s the latest evidence. (more…)

This launching Von Miller shot to Tom Brady’s head in January left Brady bloody — and with a flag for complaining.

National talking heads are barking loudly after yesterday’s game about how Tom Brady gets regular gifts from officials that other QBs don’t.

Man, what short memories some people have. (more…)

“Blaine, why won’t Tom hug me?”

Joe is a having a good laugh at the notion held by some fans (even a handful of interns at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters) that the Falcons would have won yesterday if not for a bad call on defensive tackle Grady Jarrett.

That assumes something nearly impossible. (more…)

Super Bowl coach says the Bucs, not the Dixie Chicks, were hosed by a bad call.

Please do not get Joe wrong: Joe loved how the Dixie Chicks got totally robbed on the Grady Jarrett sack that the zebras claimed was roughing the passer. (more…)

The Bucs are in sole possession of first place. No apologies for a win. No effs given. Survival of the fittest. Grab your coffee and let’s get rolling. It’s Victory Monday! (more…)

Runaround quarterback.

If Marcus Mariota was an NFL quarterback and not a gimmicky, misplaced spread-option QB, the Bucs might have been in a world of hurt yesterday. (more…)

Atlanta coach Artie Smith.

In this crazy NFC playoff race, who knows what might happen? The Bucs could get the No. 2 seed (Joe would wage cash that the road to the Super Bowl goes through Philadelphia. The Eagles’ schedule is softer than a Lovie Smith defense). (more…)

High marks for rookie left guard Luke Goedeke.

The architect of the Buccaneers’ offensive line is pleased with his work and certainly will disagree with the ridiculous (Joe’s adjective) Luke Goedeke bashers out there. (more…)

Todd Bowles arrived in 2019 and the Bucs proceeded to have a historically good run defense for two-plus seasons.

Now that run defense officially is just a fond memory. (more…)

Photos don’t lie, and this one is especially telling with general manager Jason Licht seen on the left with his mouth agape, probably wondering when the flag will come out on this bomb to Scotty Miller.

This photo represents the second of two non-calls that went against Miller and the Bucs today. (more…)

Discusses second-half swoon.

So why didn’t the Bucs blow out the Dixie Chicks this afternoon? Bucs coach Todd Bowles has ideas. (more…)

The Bucs led 21-0 today in the fourth quarter and crapped the bed trying to close out the game at The Licht House.

Still, Atlanta never had the ball with a chance to win yet some Bucs fans are in full meltdown mode. (more…)

Best game yet?

If today was a sneak peek into how the young Bucs defensive linemen can play, the Bucs will be in good hands for quite a few years. (more…)

Bucs catch massive break.

Joe has to call it like he sees it. And the Bucs, for some reason while inviting the Dixie Chicks to pull off a galling upset win in the final minutes, were given the greatest of gifts that allowed the Bucs to kill the final three minutes of the game. (more…)

Reason to smile.

When Bucs running back Playoff Lenny was drafted by the Jags in 2017 he was largely known as a run-only running back, a non-factor in the passing game. (more…)
