Renting A Need
October 14th, 2019
Decisions.

Fun With Film
October 13th, 2019

Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Bucs-Panthers
October 13th, 2019
BY IRA KAUFMAN
There’s a church close to the Buffalo Wild Wings in south Tampa where I watched in dismay as Carolina humbled the Bucs in London Sunday morning.
When the game ended, I watched several Buc fans trudge out the door, seeking the power of prayer.
When 1 o’clock came around and the game was still not over, all of the TV stations in the house automatically switched off from the Bucs-Panthers broadcast to a different network.
You should have heard the cheers. [read more]

Setback Or A Pattern?
October 13th, 2019
How much rope?
Yeah, Joe is listening to the Buccaneers Radio Network postgame show. And these dudes are stopping just short of calling for America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, to be benched for good. [read more]
Fuzzy Sports Science Evaluation
October 13th, 2019
Joe is confused.
The Bucs have a sports science team but Bucco Bruce Arians seems to think the scientists are only responsible for physical performance. [read more]
Expect Neutered Offense
October 13th, 2019
Scaled back, ex-Bucs TE says.
For folks who were starting to get excited by sightings today of tight ends O.J. Howard and Cam Brate going out for passes, don’t get used to it. [read more]

Yay, Pee Wee Football!
October 13th, 2019
Comment hits a nerve.
Is Luther Campbell about ready to join the Bucs? He runs a pee wee football league down in South Florida. And the Buccaneers Radio Network sounded as if the Bucs were a member of that league. [read more]

Three Words Sum Up Offense

Bucs OC Byron Leftwich.

Poorly Coached Buccaneers
October 13th, 2019
Joe hates typing this, but right now Bucco Bruce Arians and his massive coaching staff look like the latest in a long line of overpaid and second-rate offseason Bucs free agent signings. [read more]
International Embarrassment
October 13th, 2019

Panthers 37, Buccaneers 26
October 13th, 2019
Big day for Gerald McCoy

Buccaneers-Panthers, Open Thread
October 13th, 2019
Showtime in London!
Rookie savior linebacker Devin White is in the house and finally on the field, and he has a huge challenge on his hands with Christian McCaffrey. Will Carolina find a way to contain NFL sacks leader Shaq Barrett? Will the Bucs’ secondary play better than Clearwater High’s secondary? Second place in the NFC South is on the line.
React with fans all game long in the comments section right here!!

Stopping The Suffering
October 13th, 2019
Bucs fans
Joe threw this on Twitter last night and is deep in thought about this nonsense as today’s game is just over an hour away.
Yeah, it’s not Bruce Arians’ baggage, but it represents fan suffering and baggage, and Joe is sure it’s affected some Bucs players.
Endless first-half losing is a stinky sign of a crappy team culture. It has to change. It has to shift today. This is a winnable game against a backup quarterback.
Please, Bucs. Please!
The Bucs' first-half records since the start of the 2013 season — 0-8, 1-7, 3-5, 3-5, 2-6 & 3-5. … Can we please put our foot down on this nightmare tomorrow? …
