Buccaneers-Cardinals, Open Thread

October 15th, 2017

He’s back!

Comment all game long with intense and sometimes ludicrous Bucs fans. Great fun! More than 1,300 comments last game.

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

Go Bucs!

No Pressure, Either

October 15th, 2017

Think pressure is more important than sacks. OK, the Bucs are last in the league at pressure.

Once upon a time, during the great 10-6 season of 2010, the Bucs won games with no significant pass rush. Defensive ends that year totaled — totaled! — just 10.5 sacks.

That’s why the Bucs ran out in 2011 and drafted Adrian Clayborn and Da’Quan Bowers. [read more]

Ira Kaufman’s NFL Picks Against The Spread

October 14th, 2017

Welcome to a new 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 will type out his picks for each Friday-through-Monday game. If he hits at 53 percent or better for the regular season, then Ira gets $500 in gift cards to Abe’s Place in Clearwater, home of historically amazing food and 44 craft beers on tap. Feel free to send Ira your stone cold locks on Twitter, @ikaufman76. The sage of Tampa Bay sports could always use some help.

“I Am Done With The DeSean Jackson-Jameis Winston Chemistry Issues.”

October 14th, 2017

Tom Lang of “The ScuttleBucs.”

Bucs fans are so frustrated with the lack of connections on deep passes between DeSean Jackson and America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, that they momentarily forget about the $8 lukewarm Miller Lites at the “Den of Depression.” [read more]
