Head of the class.

Like a lot of folks, the good people over at Football Outsiders are looking back at the recently completed NFL regular season. [read more]

Grim statistic.

As we begin the first full week of a new decade, we all hope there are changes for the better and challenges conquered in all walks of life. [read more]

Gamewrecker.

If this doesn’t tell the tale of what a dominant edge rusher this guy is, Joe doesn’t know what will. [read more]

Joe nearly spit up a Big Storm Bromosa the other day reading a Tampa Bay Times analysis of the Bucs’ salary cap situation that speculated Jason Pierre-Paul could be re-signed for $8 million in 2020.

Yeah, right. JPP has 21 sacks in his last 26 games. [read more]

Lived large as a rookie.

Yes, when it comes to defense, Joe believes there is no position more important than a pass rusher. None. [read more]

A retired NFL receiver sees all 30 of Jameis Winston’s interceptions and also sees a corps of pass catchers that needs to be coached up. [read more]

Predicting his future.

Right around Thanksgiving time, Joe asked stud outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul if the soon-to-be free agent wanted to return to the Bucs in 2020. [read more]

The tough-guy legend of Alex Cappa grows again. [read more]

Bad matchup for TEs.

A lot of folks are getting on Bucs tight end O.J. Howard for being invisible Sunday in the season finale against the Dixie Chicks. [read more]

Bama edge rusher a fit in the draft?

And even though the Bucs transformed their wet noodle 2018 pass rush to a good one in 2019 with the NFL’s sack leader and a couple of other guys known to hunt quarterbacks, maybe that’s enough? [read more]

Observations on final game.

A sad thing about the recently completed 7-9 season was that the powers that be at One Buc Palace actually conned themselves into believing they had a running attack. [read more]

Big time honor.

Back in, say, May, when underwear football was in full swing, if Joe would have asked what two Bucs might make a Pro Bowl team, there would have been good guesses. [read more]

Who would you rather have starting at quarterback for the Buccaneers next season, 38-year-old Philip Rivers (4,615 yards this season) or 26-year-old Jameis Winston (5,109 yards)? [read more]

So how did the Bucs’ resident manbeast defensive tackle fare this season?

There are many ways to judge Vita Vea. [read more]

How limited was defensive coordinator Todd Bowles this season? [read more]

“Wake the hell up, dude!”

Now this is really lazy analysis. [read more]

It’s a bad year for a quarterback seeking contract leverage.
