Don’t you dare imply to Todd Bowles that his roster could use an upgrade. [read more]

So you’re telling me there’s a chance! 

Joe’s hearing the famous Dumb And Dumber line echoing through the beer-stained halls of JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters. [read more]

Joe isn’t seeing the same Antoine Winfield Jr. who was an All-Pro safety last year.

And it’s got to be tied to Winfield’s foot injury that came in the final garbage-time minutes of the Bucs’ Week 1 win against Washington. [read more]

Got lucky Sunday?

If you think about it, there is no way the Bucs should have had the lead in the fourth quarter yesterday. [read more]

Test results are in.

[UPDATE: 1:21 p.m.] It seems the best-case scenario for Tristan Wirfs and the Bucs came true. [read more]

Chris Braswell, K.J. Britt, Vita Vea and Calijah Kancey aren’t going to like this. [read more]

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

The Bucs are a bad team. They are 4-6. [read more]

Lavonte David says he feels “shi*ty.”

So the Bucs defense ranks 30th in first downs allowed and 31st in yards allowed.

How can anyone spin that with a happy face? Perhaps by saying the Bucs only rank 28th in points allowed per game? [read more]

Declares unity.

When a season has such high expectations — who among us didn’t think the Bucs could make a play for a deep run in the playoffs? — and it comes crashing down before Thanksgiving, two things could happen. [read more]

The table is set beautifully for a Buccaneers revival this season.

If not, well, head coach shopping for Christmas will be in order. [read more]

Such a depressing game yesterday. Let’s get to it before the coffee grows cold. [read more]

Joe understands a whole lot of guys and girls who served our country read this here site daily. [read more]

Really missed on Sunday.

Joe typed this moments after the Baltimore debacle when the Bucs lost future Hall of Famer Mike Evans and Pro Bowl receiver Chris Godwin, who appeared to be having a career year. [read more]

“Liam, I think I see an eight-yard pass on your sheet.“

Last Monday, after the Bucs (with sober minds) decided to kick an extra point rather than go for a two-point conversion and willingly handed Pat Mahomes a chance to win the game, when asked about the decision, Mayfield was diplomatic. [read more]

Weak when not playing the Bucs.

So the Falcons (6-4) proved how unimpressive they are today by losing to the slimy Saints, snapping New Orleans’ seven-game losing streak. [read more]

Joe remains in awe of Baker Mayfield stiff-arming beastly 49ers edge rusher Nick Bosa today with the game on the line while Bosa hung on — as Mayfield ran laterally to his right carrying Bosa.

Ten steps Mayfield ran dragging the four-time Pro Bowler along for the ride. [read more]

Play smarter, please.

Look, Joe is a big Calijah Kancey fan. If the guy can just start a season healthy, Joe thinks he will wreak havoc on the league. [read more]

Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht was a confident guy before today’s kickoff.

And it had nothing to do with Bill Belichick praising him going viral last week or Jon Gruden being honored on the JumboTron. [read more]

Who is to blame?

Brock Purdy attempted six passes in the 49ers’ final, game-winning drive Sunday. The ball never touched the ground. [read more]

“He’s got twitch, doesn’t he. Man, he can move.”

The above was just one of the high-energy takes by Tom Brady on the FOX broadcast when talking about electric Bucs rookie running back Bucky Irving. [read more]

Sad defense.

Not only are the Bucs a bad team — 4-6 — it is very obvious to Joe: [read more]
