Joe will start this post by saying it’s a given that the Bucs have a poor four-man pass rush. That’s a too-long-established fact. [read more]

There’s no way to put a pretty bow around Sunday’s debacle, but it surely can’t be considered a death blow.
The Bucs are 1-1 with the next two games at Raymond James Stadium — where Tampa Bay has won five in a row. The Giants showed signs of life while remaining winless and the Patriots continue to be plagued by a leaky defense that is keeping Bill Belichick up at night.
Unlike last season, I don’t think this was a case of the Bucs coming in overconfident. They were short-handed and manhandled, and it’s difficult to gauge the connection between the two. [read more]

After an offseason of being drilled to protect the football, America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, may not have absorbed the message fully. [read more]
You saw the brutal way Lavonte David’s leg got rolled up late in today’s game.
He needed a cart to get off the field and then Joe saw David in the tunnel. [read more]

Brutal
First Ryan Smith was a cornerback the Bucs insisted was a safety. That didn’t work.
Then he was a kick returner. That didn’t work. He was historically bad.
Now he’s a cornerback — with glaring weaknesses since training camp — who got torched today in Minnesota. [read more]
