Programming note here for the many thousands of listeners to various JoeBucsFan.com podcasts.

Bucs Uncensored will have a changed schedule because of travel from New Orleans and won’t be heard today. Stay tuned for the twice-weekly schedule. Monday Morning Joe will be a Monday evening affair after Dirk Koetter’s late afternoon news conference and it will have a Tuesday vibe since the Ira Kaufman Podcast this week will be Wednesday and Thursday, also due to travel. The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast will post last this afternoon.

BY IRA KAUFMAN

It was wild, it was frantic and in the end, it was transcendent for Buc fans. [read more]

Joe has written many times that the Bucs through last season and entering this season were a mentally fragile team.

Well, it seems Dirk Koetter might have had similar thoughts. [read more]

Bruised and battered in celebration.

Based on just today’s results, Bucs fans haven’t been this happy since they saw the Bucs’ cheerleader calendar circa 2010. [read more]

Brawler.

It didn’t take long for the Saints defense to know Ryan Jensen is the new Bucs’ center. [read more]

Sad flashback.

Joe is not going to write about the horrid Bucs defense until tomorrow and beyond. Today was just far too much fun to dive deep into Mike Smith’s mess now.

However, Joe will throw one key stat out there. [read more]

Let’s peddle in reality. It was a very gutsy move for Dirk Koetter to turn playcaller duties over to Todd Monken today — gutsy when it comes to his job security. [read more]

Monster day

Man, the Bucs sure brought their big mother $^&$’n stick today. Wow!

Is there anything better than humiliating the Saints in their own crib? [read more]

Bang it here in the comments section with all your thoughts on the Bucs-Saints game to open the 2018 season.

Play nice!

Not playing today.

This is a stunner. [read more]

*START FAST!!!! The Bucs averaged eight points per game in the first halves of games last season — combined with allowing the most points in the first quarter in the NFL. Fix it!! And elect to receive if you get the chance, Coach. [read more]
