What might have been. [read more]

Joe isn’t sure where to start on this depressing Monday. The Bucs are now providing much more drama than “Hard Knocks” ever offered. [read more]

Takes grievance to Twitter.

What Joe feared is now in the midst of pollinating One Buc Palace like the MRSA that helped take down former Bucs commander Greg Schiano.

“Mike, the Glazers might want to talk to you right after the season.”

Joe hates to bring these facts to the table because they tar and feather a good man. [read more]

Angry at Bucs coaches.

Joe wrote about the potential of a fractured locker room now that the Bucs’ playoff chances are grim. [read more]

Quick fix on the Bucs’ plate

UPDATED 2:02 a.m. Monday: While it may seem the football gods have been cruel to our Buccaneers, in fact, they’ve given them a great and timely gift.

Now sitting at 2-4 in the NFC South basement, the Bucs have been granted a very quick and easy fix to their predicament. [read more]

I can’t put it any better than Dirk Koetter:

“We let this one slip away.”

This was a galling setback, in some ways more hurtful than the embarrassment in the Arizona desert. The Bucs simply didn’t man up against the Cardinals. On Sunday, they didn’t smarten up against a Buffalo team that was there for the taking.

This one stings like a yellow jacket, so let us count the ways: [read more]

Dumped from the outside

No, this post is not about Vernon Hargreaves getting traded to the Lions for Jacquies Smith.

It’s about Hargreaves, last year’s No. 12 overall pick, getting benched from his role as starting outside cornerback today. [read more]

Potential storm brewing.

The way Joe sees it, winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter is about to have a major problem on his hands. How he handles/survives the looming clouds likely will determine his long-term future. [read more]

Ask America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, a question about his shoulder and you’ll get a strange response. [read more]

In the sixth game of the year, defensive end Robert Ayers got a sack. [read more]

Both Bucs main ball carriers have the same number of carries, and yards per carry.

Doug Martin’s triumphant return three games ago hasn’t been the savior happening so, so many Bucs fans thought it would be.

Martin is part of a much bigger problem known as the Bucs’ rushing attack. [read more]

Be careful!

Joe cannot believe he is typing the following. [read more]

Mental regression scary

Joe could write all day about all the ups and down of today’s game and the train wreck Bucs defense, but what’s really important is how and why Tampa Bay went from a team on a roll to a team with a losing culture. [read more]

Bucs have their NFL version of a terrible college DC.

Joe used to rag on (and still does) Lovie Smith for his horrid defenses. [read more]

Gift-wrapped.

Joe should know better. [read more]

“Can anyone tackle or cover out there?”

Joe will keep this extra real. Finally, finally, finally, your Buccaneers showed up to play with a big pair of balls for a road game against a hard-hitting and motivated football team.

And it didn’t freakin’ matter.  [read more]

Hee’s baaack!

Comment throughout today’s game with intense, wild and reasoned Bucs fans. Great fun! Look for well over 1,000 comments by game’s end.

Keep it clean. And direct the personal attacks to Buffalo 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.

Go Bucs!

Watch the game with lots of fans & the Sage of Tampa Bay sports, Ira Kaufman! Rock Riley in the house, too, and Joe.

Abe’s Place is a great atmosphere with amazing food.

Giveaways onsite by 12:30 p.m. … AND Ira will talk all things Bucs and take pictures before the game.

Redemption?

Could the Bucs hold a magic elixir to shut down Buffalo’s offense? [read more]
