Demar Dotson knows a thing or two about the Buccaneers because he’s seen a thing or two.

The longest-tenured Buc turned 32 earlier this month and he’s made more money than he ever dreamed since signing an NFL contract in 2009 as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Miss.

Pathetic third down play.

This is just unacceptable. [read more]

By next weekend, the Bucs could be four games out of first place in the NFC South, hopelessly out of playoff consideration midway through the season.

You can only imagine the disappointment of the Glazers Sunday as they departed their suite for the elevator down to the carport at Raymond James Stadium. They began the year thinking they owned a franchise on the rise behind a franchise quarterback.
