A Midterm Vote For Toughness

November 5th, 2018

BY IRA KAUFMAN

At times, their finesse is astounding. At times, all those weapons coalesce into an offense that takes your breath away. At times, they look downright dangerous.

But most of the time, they’re not nearly good enough, not nearly tough enough. [read more]

Keep An Eye On John Harbaugh

November 4th, 2018

Bucs fans know what the horrid stink of a sinking franchise smells like.

Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Bucs-Panthers

November 4th, 2018

BY IRA KAUFMAN

Dirk Koetter says the Bucs are mired in a depressing pattern this season.

Make that 11 seasons.

Koetter was referring to Tampa Bay’s habit of falling far behind in the opening half, only to stage a comeback bid that falls short. We’ve seen that play out against the Steelers, Falcons, Bengals and Panthers while the Bucs dropped 5-of-6 after a 2-0 start.

The overarching pattern, however, is far more depressing. The playoff drought is almost certain to reach 11 years and another regime change appears likely.

This team has changed defensive coordinators and quarterbacks, yet the losing continues. [read more]

No Heart

November 4th, 2018

No obvious sense of urgency late.

Joe was watching the game today with a hardcore Bucs fan who admits his wife all but leaves him alone on Sundays knowing her husband is so locked in on the Bucs that he wouldn’t even know he has a family for three hours. [read more]
