Most Bucs fans are searching for the nearest toilet to put their head in this evening.

Aside from the Bucs being 2-5 in the NFC South cellar, nothing about this team makes a lot of sense. [read more]

Talks rotten run game.

This just in: The Bucs’ rushing attack stinks. Again. [read more]

Squeaky clean

One of these days, Joe expects an opposing quarterback to come out and play the Bucs wearing a Speedo. [read more]

Game 39. Enough already.

Joe’s not sure what’s a greater horror, the second-quarter senseless giveaway by America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, or the fact Jameis isn’t learning quickly enough from all the protect-the-ball coaching drilled into his head.

At some point, this stuff has to stop. [read more]

Dialed up strong game.

Can’t pin this loss on Mike Smith or the defense. [read more]

Not ready to start games?

These slow starts are getting out of hand. [read more]

Joe despises typing this, but your Buccaneers are a bad football team right now.

Really bad. They look like the 2-5 team they are.

So now the offense, littered with weapons, can’t show up at home? Dirk Koetter’s big MF stick seems to have been carried away with the rest of the Hurricane Irma debris.  [read more]

Comment throughout today’s Buccaneers-Panthers game with intense, wild and reasoned fans. Great fun! There is sure to be more than 1,000 comments by game’s end.

Direct the personal attacks to Carolina players and coaches, not each other (Joe’s filters are tuned up for the haters.)

Enjoy and prepare for Joe’s award-winning postgame coverage, including Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways.

Dirk Koetter speaks

All offseason, on the heels of a 9-7 season, Dirk Koetter stressed that the Bucs had more talent on the roster than he’s ever experienced.

Joe hasn’t yet asked Koetter for a reassessment, but the head coach gave one on Friday. [read more]

Galled by third down defense.

You know your team has a horrid defense when on each third down, predicting a conversion by the opponent would be at worst a break-even bet. [read more]

Bullish on Bucs today.

Interesting takes from the gang at CBSSports.com on today’s game. [read more]

They dig the long ball.

When Joe has written the only chance of the Bucs beating the Stinking Panthers today is if winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter goes Air Coryell and launches the ball downfield on virtually every play, Joe is only being half-sarcastic. [read more]

Welcome to a weekly feature on JoeBucsFan.com. Joe has challenged Ira Kaufman, Tampa Bay’s only Hall of Fame voter, to pick against the spread this season for a $500 prize. Every Friday, Ira types out his picks for each Friday-through-Monday game.

Feel free to send Ira your stone cold locks on Twitter, @ikaufman76. The sage of Tampa Bay sports could always use some help.

You know that sliver of light I talked about last week? That was just a tease.

Here comes that rainy day again. [read more]

Pattern detected.

It seems fans have an issue with the offense called by winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter. [read more]

Last week, before the defensive collapse in Buffalo, Bucs players and coaches all said they had a smooth and very successful week of work.

Not so this week. [read more]

Joe cannot take credit for this but it is a helluva idea. [read more]
