You gotta love a homecoming game.

Well, most of the time. [read more]

Allow Joe to take you inside the Buccaneers’ locker room.

Even the crickets were silent. [read more]

No reason to go to games.

This is so disgusting, Joe strains for words. [read more]

Throwing himself a changeup tonight.

Gerald McCoy is moving past this kick-in-the-nuts Bucs loss in record time. [read more]

Inaccuracy getting out of hand.

Magoo, you’ve done it again! [read more]

Can’t trust passing attack.

Want to know why Bucs coach Dirk Koetter went turtle at the end of the first half and in particular, in the final Bucs possession of the fourth quarter? [read more]

This one came right out of the Den of Depression playbook.

Early 10-0 lead for Tampa Bay, and then the Bucs allowed 17 unanswered points lowlighted by the Raiders taking the lead on a Donald Penn touchdown reception. Yeah, that Donald Penn. [read more]

Welcome to the start of a three-game home stand. Is that a good thing?

It better be. The Bucs (3-3) must  win two out of their next three. And why not start today against a solid Raiders (5-2) team. Gerald McCoy is back. Robert Ayers is back. The offense is revived. The Bucs have a enough juice to win this. No excuses.

Bang it here with comments all game long. And prepare yourself for postgame coverage.

Play nice. Personal fouls at not tolerated.

Game 7

Raiders (5-2) at Bucs (3-3)

Cool stories from Bucs WR.

Recently, Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans did a spot on the “Russillo and Kannel Show” on BSPN and offered up cool, behind-the-scenes stories. [read more]

Flawed.

The Raiders lead the AFC West. They are 5-2, tied with the Broncos. They are 4-0 on the road. [read more]

“Future star.”

OK, here’s something to take your time with. It’s a breakdown of the Bucs’ offensive line from a guy who actually played offensive line, not some laptop keyboard warrior of a college student looking for a few extra bucks for beer money. [read more]

Dirk Koetter talks about his O-line

Interesting to hear Dirk Koetter describe his offensive line yesterday. [read more]

Yes, Joe was on ESPN Tallahassee radio yesterday talking Bucs with Jeff Cameron, he of “The Jeff Cameron Show.”

Joe has long been a fan of Cameron, a St. Pete native who puts together damned good radio. [read more]

It’s Game 7 for the Bucs! And Joe breaks out the map showing where you can watch — for those who don’t like bars and those unlucky, unfortunate souls without NFL Sunday Ticket, the greatest invention since the beer bottle opener. [read more]

The head coach shared on radio

Speaking on SiriusXM NFL radio this week, Dirk Koetter admitted he knew little about Derek Carr before studying him in advance of Sunday’s Raiders-Bucs game.

In fact, Koetter called him “David.” [read more]

Growing, learning and evolving.

Joe is a big fan of Andy Benoit. The X’s and O’s guru of theMMQB.com does nice work breaking down film in an intelligent manner as opposed to a belligerent manner (yes, Joe is looking right at you, PFF tribe!). [read more]

Assessing the offense

Count to 10 and the Bucs’ hide-and-go-seek master will be long gone. [read more]

NFL.com pushes Bucs to acquire WR.

The Bucs need a wide receiver if this team hopes to play meaningful games in late November and December (or — gasp! — beyond?). [read more]

Can’t go.

The Bucs have declared who will not play Sunday with injuries. [read more]

Donald Penn returns home and will make his 148th consecutive start at left tackle. He can’t wait to deliver some payback.

Raiders left tackle Donald Penn was painted by the Tampa Bay Times during his Bucs days as a rubber-shirt-wearing fatso stressed out about weigh-ins and dehydrated and ineffective as a result.

It was tremendous disrespect — and a lot of hooey — directed at a very good player who never missed a start. [read more]

Mobile Jameis = good Jameis.

Earlier this year watching underwear football, Joe noticed a whole lot of rollout plays by America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston. [read more]
