Joe hopes everyone has a wonderful Christmas and hopes you have happier Bucs outcomes on your DVR.

Joe is also hopeful Santa got you both something naughty and nice, and hopefully it was equally as nice as it was naughty.

Enjoy the day! Please know that if for not each and every one of you, daily readers, fans and, yes, haters alike, Joe wouldn’t exist. Not a day goes by Joe isn’t aware of this. Thank you!

It has happened.

The Bucs got a prize by the way of the NFL outcomes yesterday and it is nothing to be proud of. [read more]

New time for last game of 2017.

The NFL just released its finalized Week 17 schedule and the Saints-Bucs game has a new time. [read more]

Yes, this is a sad Christmas Eve tradition for Joe and it is a sad Christmas Eve to begin with as the Bucs dropped yet another game.

The following is an example to demonstrate how the snooping of the federal government upon innocents can get out of hand without proper checks and balances.

On his rounds from the North Pole this evening, Santa Claus was detained by TSA agents — tipped off by the IRS thugs — who have decided to call in the notorious Jack Bauer to interrogate Santa in the bowels of CTU.

One of Joe’s missions in Charlotte this weekend was to get as much information as possible about the Buccaneers’ head coaching situation. [read more]

“Silver linings, Mr. Glazer. Silver linings. Tis the season.“

Perhaps you didn’t see the gift under the Buccaneers’ tree at Carolina today.

Talks losing

You want to know about losing and its toll on a team and playing for a coach on the hot seat?

Talk to Bucs backup QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. [read more]

Chris “Swaggy” Baker, the Bucs’ half-sack defensive tackle, who is half the player he was in Washington, was Sunday’s most glaring goat in Charlotte.

With the game literally on the line, 45 seconds left with Carolina at 4th-and-3 on Tampa Bay’s 5 yard line, Baker jumped offsides. [read more]

They ravaged the NFL’s No. 5 defense for 392 yards. They kept Greg Olsen in check and punted only once. They scared the bejesus out of Jerry Richardson, who surely has bigger issues to worry about.

Still, they lost.

That’s five in a row in the wrong column for Dirk Koetter, who lasted a little more than three minutes on the podium following Sunday’s setback before the media ran out of questions or Koetter ran out of answers. [read more]

Leaders are frustrated.

As Joe stood outside the Buccaneers locker room waiting for it to open after the game, things got a little odd.

The door wasn’t opening. [read more]

Bad reputation.

No, to the best of Joe’s knowledge, stud Bucs receiver Mike Evans doesn’t do lurid things in a Target parking lot. [read more]

Misguided hate.

Of course, the haters will come out of the woodwork blaming America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, and his fumbles for the loss. [read more]

Painful penalty on a fake punt.

Winners take care of the small things. [read more]

Simply stated, Gerald McCoy is a one-man band on the Buccaneers defensive line.

Today, he was a one-armed bandit. [read more]

Ill-disciplined.

Get the hell out of town! [read more]

Fate pretty much sealed.

This was the final stamp of Mike Smith’s days with the Bucs. [read more]

Yes, America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, waved another flag of greatness today, his second game in a row as the best QB on the field.

And it still wasn’t enough.

Three costly fumbles and two delay of game penalties have a way of preventing victories. [read more]
