Punishing defenders.

It wasn’t just Vita Vea. (more…)

Strong night from Jaydon Mickens

Not exactly a vote of confidence here from Bucco Bruce Arians. (more…)

Anything possible with Tom Brady.

Even though the Bucs opened the 2021 NFL season with a win over the Cowboys Thursday night, there are still a lot of folks giving their preseason predictions since the rest of the league won’t play until tomorrow (and Monday). (more…)

Power.

Joe is waiting for the box score/NFL app alert crowd to chime in. (more…)

Kickers and jinxes.

Joe wrote this on Twitter last night; how refreshing was it to see an opposing kicker come into the Stadium on Dale Mabry Highway and yack all over his shoes kicking in the south end zone? (more…)

Targeted.

Last night, at least to Joe up in the press box sitting next to The Sage of Tampa Bay sports, the iconic Ira Kaufman, it was very, very clear the Cowboys were going after Bucs cornerback Jamel Dean, especially after Sean Murphy-Bunting blew up his arm. (more…)

Ronald Jones had a costly fumble last night, but it was more than that, Bucco Bruce Arians said this afternoon. (more…)

Antonio Brown celebrates

Joe was a little surprised to hear sour Bucs fans in the wee hours and even still this morning.

The glass is way more than half full. (more…)

The theatrical value of last night’s Bucs game kicked up a few notches with 24 seconds remaining.

Tom Brady put his foot down — hard. (more…)

Joe Tryon-Shoyinka

First-round pick Joe Tryon-Shoyinka got the start last night.

Coincidence? Joe doesn’t think so. (more…)

It was almost as if something spooked Bucco Bruce Arians at the last minute. (more…)

Flash poll posted at 9:25 a.m.

Tom Brady’s favorite target?

Joe is confident saying Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski have hooked up on so many passes that both could be blindfolded and Gronk could run a specific pattern and Brady would hit him in the numbers. (more…)

“Tom, I know you can do it because you’ve done it.”

It’s hard not to be confident when Tom Brady is your quarterback. (more…)

It didn’t take long in his postgame remarks for Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians to speak the phrase of the decade about his team. (more…)

Money.

A win is a win and Joe is happy about it. So let’s get to it in this abbreviated column. After Joe recorded the Ira Kaufman Podcast at the stadium well after the game and wrote stories at the stadium, by the time Joe got home it was very late. Joe is typing this here post at 3:50 a.m. (more…)

BY IRA KAUFMAN

The perfect season’s still alive.

Yes, sarcasm is called for after Thursday night’s exceedingly ragged opener. A win is a win in the NFL, but that look on the face of Bruce Arians walking off the field was sheer relief rather than jubilation. (more…)

League-first.

After pulling off an NFL historical first despite playing sloppy football in their first game defending their Super Bowl crown, might the Bucs be on another magical run? (more…)

Talkin’ trash.

Joe is not going to break out in hives writing about the Tampa Bay pass defense on Opening Night. Maybe this afternoon. (more…)
