Haason Reddick looks on as YaYa Diaby strip-sacks Lions QB Jared Goff last night.

So Buccaneers edge rusher Haason Reddick left last night’s game with knee and ankle injuries and was seen taking a cart ride to the locker room. (more…)

Mike Evans lay prone on the turf of Ford Field after his injury and concussion Monday night.

Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield and Hall of Fame receiver Mike Evans may be tighter than you think. (more…)

Joe was sickened by the officiating last night. Too much of it makes no sense, like Cade Otton getting stripped of a first down after two reviews that featured no clear evidence to overturn the Bucs’ new set of downs.

Yeah, Joe wrote about it earlier, but above photo is from the JoeBucsFan.com photo genius on the scene. The football is seen on its way to Mike Evans while the Lions defender is completely airborne and hanging on/clinging to Evans’ neck.

No flag!

Sadly, this is the play that left Evans with a concussion and a broken clavicle. The Bucs punted from their 40 yard line two plays later.

“Jamel, you’ve got 3 picks in 5 1/2 games. Just think about all that money you’ll earn next year.”

All Bucs cornerbacks were healthy last night for a change, along with starting safeties Antoine Winfield and Tykee Smith, fulfilling the offseason dream of Todd Bowles and Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht. (more…)

Reaction from Todd Bowles.

Mike Evans went down with both a concussion and a broken clavicle against the Lions. And with that, what next? (more…)

Joe has an important reminder for the overly sad Bucs fans this morning. (more…)

Agent issues statement.

Some clarification surrounding the death of former Bucs All-Pro running back Doug Martin is beginning to filter out of the clouds. (more…)

Joe is going to try to keep this short not just because the Bucs got slapped around by the Lions, not just because Mike Evans’ Bucs’ future is in doubt, but it is in the wee hours of Tuesdayd. A gloomy morning it is. (more…)

“Remember boys, Roger told us not to help the Bucs.”

Last week on the road against the Chiefs, the Lions were royally hosed when the zebras got a call, per Lions coach Dan Campbell, from NFL HQ in New York.

(more…)

Lots of targets.

The NFL official “book” of the Bucs-Lions game from Monday night says it all. (more…)

Defense was ready.

Baker Mayfield wasn’t making any excuses Monday night on the Buccaneers Radio Network. (more…)

Michael Jordan (left) and Graham Barton.

Nobody would know it by watching the Bucs tonight, but the Lions do not have a special defense by NFL standards. (more…)

Offensive players weren’t ready.

Did the Bucs offense not set the correct alarm for their afternoon naps Monday. (more…)

Bucs fans were painfully forced to watch franchise legend Mike Evans, the 32-year-old Hall of Fame receiver, struggle to walk off the field tonight with a broken collarbone and a head injury.

Minutes later, 31-year-old Haason Reddick was peeled off the turf and taken to the locker room on a cart, which likely drove by hobbled Chris Godwin watching on the sidelines. (more…)

Yeah, Joe is annoyed the Bucs lost and got bullied in Detroit tonight, but damn, Todd Bowles defense’ was impressive locking up the Lions over and over and over again while the offense looked like Mike Glennon and the fighting Schianos of 2013. (more…)

UPDATED: We won’t be seeing Mike Evans for a while. (more…)

Early rust. Again.

Speaking on the Buccaneers Radio Network immediately after the 24-9 Motown mugging, Bucs game analyst Dave Moore didn’t want to hear anyone throwing roses at the Bucs defense. (more…)

Off tonight.

Joe feared this would happen. (more…)

The Buccaneers’ offense was not ready for prime time in Detroit, despite keeping Aidan Hutchinson relatively quiet (no matter how much Troy Aikman insists on glazing the guy).

First, the Bucs offense struggled with noise, and then they struggled with just about everything else. (more…)

Comment all game long below as the Bucs try to knock off the Lions tonight on the road.

It’s Monday Night Football!

Huge game if the Bucs want the No. 1 seed come January.

Go Bucs! And stick with Joe after the game.

The Bucs are much healthier than they appeared a week ago.

Not only is Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) on tonight’s active roster, the Bucs promoted guard Michael Jordan from the practice squad and is active, too. A summer free agent pickup, Jordan started two games at left guard early this season and played damn well.

Jordan was battling a knee issue but practiced the past two weeks.
