Man, the football gods toyed with the Bucs yesterday — good and bad.

Big game.
The thing that jumped out to Joe yesterday about the Bucs’ win was the return of stud tight end O.J. Howard. [read more]

They had it all the way.
Yeah, right.
Even Buc players and coaches would admit they had their heart in their throat during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s matchup against the Cardinals. The game was on the line and this time it was Tampa Bay who made the big plays to ensure the first home victory of the Bruce Arians era. [read more]
Redeemed?
Last week Joe gave Jamel Dean little slack. [read more]
Pregame speech taken to heart.

Bucs fans all saw Matt Gay crap the bed in September against the Giants and quickly bounce back to earn Bucs fans’ trust, which is very hard to do around here at the kicker position. [read more]
Surprised.
One could argue the Bucs pulled a win out of their arse today. [read more]
This should be a good one to watch when the NFL releases the coaches film to fans later in the week. [read more]
Freakout explained

From the head coach who brought you back-to-back timeouts at Carolina late in the fourth quarter, plus taking a penalty to back up a field goal kicker for a game-ending boot against the Giants, today Bucco Bruce Arians delivered another gem. [read more]
Imagine how Ronald Jones’ self-inflicted fumble would have weighed on the 22-year-old if that mid-fourth-quarter blunder had turned out to be the game’s most crushing blow against the Bucs.
Yeah, the victorious Bucs are now 3-6, but Joe might be most happy now for Jones’ confidence. [read more]
In this glorious win against the Cardinals today, Joe learned little about America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, and the looming Decision Jameis.
The game was sort of a microcosm of Jameis’ career. [read more]
Hero Jamel Dean
The good folks of Tampa were treated to second-rate NFL football on both sides of the ball today at the Den of Depression.
It was sloppy, but it was glorious.
A desperately-needed “W” arrived that hopefully will spark the Bucs to make a run since the team isn’t interested in playing for the NFL Draft. [read more]
Showtime! The second half of the season is here.
Can the Bucs find a home field advantage and finish strong? Much will be learned today. Arizona has a bad defense and a rookie QB.
React with fans all game long in the comments section right here!!
Go Bucs!
