Bucs DC Todd Bowles

While the Bucs have one of the offenses for the ages, the defense brought out every long-time Bucs’ fans’ beating heart. (more…)

As Bill Parcells famously said, you are what your record says you are. So in that respect, the Bucs are not (now) the best team in the NFC. (more…)

“I made him my son.”

Joe hasn’t spoken with Bucs left guard Donovan Smith since before The Sickness hit, back when players weren’t kept away from media types by the NFL. (more…)

Watch a home game in style!

All you have to do is test drive a vehicle this month at Bill Currie Ford one mile north of the stadium on Dale Mabry Highway. Make sure to say you want your name in the mix for the Best In Class podcast sweepstakes. It’s that simple. GM Sean Sullivan is fired up to watch a game with you in a suite and talk Bucs!!

Happy Victory Monday, Bucs fans! What a game yesterday. Joe loves it when the Bucs curbstomp one of their old rivals in the (nee) NFC Central. Yes, Joe still wishes the Bucs would be in the same division as the Bears, Lions, Packers and Vikings.

Maybe the way things have shaken out the past two years, those teams don’t.

So grab a fresh, hot cup of java and let’s get rolling. (more…)

Regular readers here know Joe doesn’t pretend to be neutral in any way.

Joe wants the Bucs to win at all costs — even if that means tanking for a draft pick. Joe started this site 13 years ago as a fan looking to have fun, maybe earn a little beer money and to escape boring mainstream media. (more…)

Derrick Brooks went to bed a happy man Sunday evening. (more…)

Not this year, Mr. Robinson.

How good were the Bucs’ outside cornerbacks today, starters Dee Delaney and Jamel Dean, and reserve Pierre Desir? Consider that stud Bears receiver Allen Robinson had his worst game in two years. (more…)

Joe loved when defensive coordinator Todd Bowles blitzed then-rookie safety Antoine Winfield, Jr. early last season.

It was effective and Winfield reminded Joe of Rondé Barber coming after the quarterback. (more…)

Details injuries.

Yeah, there are good reasons Jason Pierre-Paul has been on the shelf for a while. (more…)

Wanted more points.

Fans were likely irked today, despite the Bucs’ blowout win, that the team should have scored 20 points more. (more…)

Big numbers

Man, Chris Godwin is going to earn a fortune on his next contract.

Joe can smell the cash all the way on Clearwater Beach.

“Sack” Barrett on fire, too.

Let’s think about this for a second. (more…)

Big time return today

In limited preseason action, Jaelon Darden did not impress Joe in the least for the main reason he was drafted: to return kicks. (more…)

“I don’t forget!”

Prior to today, the last time we saw Tom Brady play the Bears, he held up four fingers as if to say, “It’s fourth down now, right?” (more…)

Warrior is back.

Former star basketball guard Allen Iverson had a comment for the ages when, after being asked about blowing off practices, he went on a long rant highlighted by, “We’re talking practice. Not a game. Practice.” (more…)

It was not Tom Brady’s best day, but with the time Brady gets to throw and the weapons at his disposal, it just doesn’t matter. (more…)

Cornerback Dee Delaney has come a long way since his defensive debut against the Falcons.

UPDATED 6:58 p.m. – Before the season, Bucs cornerback Dee Delaney had four defensive snaps in the NFL since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2018.

Now he can say he’s better than Richard Sherman. (more…)

Our beloved Buccaneers are now 6-1 for first time in franchise history.

And the mighty beasts of the NFL have won 14 of their last 15 games.

It’s damn impressive. What was seen today is what can happen when the Bucs put out an all-phases effort. (more…)
