There’s a simple formula to the editorial process at JoeBucsFan.com.
Step 1 is as follows: If Joe sees it or hears it, whatever it is, and really finds it interesting and Bucs-related, then it appears on these pages. [read more]
It’s another Friday all-Bucs video report from Rock Riley. (Yes, the multimedia guru @realrockriley!)

Enjoy the moment.
There’s a lot of hand-wringing going on by national observers and even a few Buc fans about some of the things that went wrong Thursday night in Jacksonville.
Nick Folk had an extra-point attempt blocked and missed a field goal that caused Dirk Koetter to drop his head. The red-zone offense struggled at times. Jameis Winston turned in a bonehead play.
I get all that. [read more]
“”Losing had become too easy.”
Winning head coach Dirk Koetter was heard talking about the Buccaneers’ culture yesterday. [read more]
The hype is building.
First it was Adam Schein. Now add two Bucs Super Bowl champions to the mix. [read more]
A little more insight into Doug Martin’s journey back to health and football competency was revealed last night. [read more]
GMC and the boys brought the heat.
It is a beautiful thing, pressure. [read more]
Rough night
Last year, offensive coordinators leaguewide wanted to target passes toward cornerback Vernon Hargreaves rather than Brent Grimes on the other side of the Bucs defense. [read more]
Strong night. Strong scrutiny by Chucky.
Despite a dropped pass and limited touches, Doug Martin looked like a No. 1 running back last night for the first time in a long, long time. [read more]
Early exit in Jacksonville
Yes, there is a battle brewing at defensive tackle.
Newcomer big money free agent Chris Baker hasn’t impressed Joe with his on-field performance — practice or games — and after just three snaps with the starters against Jacksonville last night, Baker was pulled. [read more]
Solid game.
There were highs and lows with winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter last night. [read more]
Use your head, not your heart.
Jameis sounded like a desperate craps player at a seedy Las Vegas old school casino. [read more]
“I love you, man.”
A few days ago, there was “Gumby,” and now there could be “Lovely.” [read more]
Resting legs.
Protesting the national anthem seems to be a fad spreading like a virus throughout the NFL. And before tonight’s game at Jacksonville, Joe wondered if any Bucs player would jump in the fray. [read more]
Think!
It was the dumbest-arsed play you can imagine. [read more]
Kicking frustration continues.
Even if winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter tried to hide his frustration with his kickers and their failure to kick a friggin’ extra point, any happy face he may have tried to hide behind was lost with one word. [read more]
He’s gone, but extra-point suckage continues.
Joe wonders if winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter is going to chug about a half-dozen vodkas on the flight home to Tampa tonight. [read more]
Fire up the in-game chatter in the comments section all throughout the pregame show and to the final whistle tonight in Jacksonville.
Please keep it respectful, but don’t hesitate to mix it up. Joe is live on the scene and come back all through the night.
There’s so much to keep an eye on, even in the second half when future gym teachers, grad students, and mattress movers take the field against the talent-rich Jaguars.
Go Bucs!
Joe was jaw-jacking on the radio again earlier today. [read more]
Unfair dart thrown
Another sharp javelin has been hurled in the direction of America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, by mercurial local newspaper columnist Tom Jones. [read more]
No passion, ASJ explains.
One thing Joe noticed regularly was that former Bucs tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins sure did talk a good game. But he simply didn’t have game. [read more]
