Demar Dotson, the longest-tenured Buccaneer, said it was the best defensive performance he has seen since joining the team in 2009. It’s hard to argue with the big man after Russell Wilson was limited to a 38.8 passer rating in Sunday’s 14-5 triumph. That’s not a passer rating — that’s the overnight temperature in Seattle.

Third down is “Bucs Down.”

Man, the way the Bucs are playing on third downs, it is getting sick. [read more]

Last play of first half broken down.

Joe sure as hell thought the Bucs got jobbed at the end of the first half. [read more]

Warren Sapp had plenty to say after this Bucs win

No. 99 was hootin’ and hollerin’ in the happy Bucs locker room after the game today, in addition to bellowing in the press box and yelling it up with Jameis Winston’s dad in the bowels of the Stadium on Dale Mabry Highway. [read more]

On a tear

If Noah Spence isn’t careful, dude just might have 10 sacks this season. [read more]

Yes, Akeem, you are on a winning team in December. No joke.

Yes, it is still November. And Joe can still taste that delcious deep-fried turkey he had on Thanksgiving. [read more]

Perhaps only one man on the field today really understands what the Bucs accomplished against the Seahawks. [read more]

The longest tenured Buccaneer chimes in

Demar Dotson is nothing special as a right tackle. But as the longest tenured Buccaneer, a Mark Dominik signing in 2009, Dotson has major street cred when it comes to Den of Depression history. [read more]

Play of the Game.

It was midway through the fourth quarter. Every Bucs fan in the Den of Depression was gripping. [read more]

Gerald McCoy weeping in the shower is one piece of evidence, says Jameis Winston.

Time of death for Loserville: 7:01 p.m.

Pouring it on

Mike Evans already has Pro Bowl stats — with five games left to play. [read more]

The Bucs are 6-5 entering December — and there’s only one winning team left on the schedule. [read more]

What a statement by the Buccaneers defense!

Holy crap!

Joe’s feeling like it’s 1997. What a dominant performance for your 6-5 — and now very relevant — Bucs. [read more]

And the beasts of the NFC are here, the nasty, physical Seahawks and their All-World quarterback.

Bucs win and they’re true contenders. Bucs lose but compete hard and most fans won’t go home crying.

But the Bucs bettter treat this like a playoff game. Nothing less is ok. Seattle is banged up and as beatable as they might ever be this season.

Bang your thoughts in the comments here all game long. And stick around for savage postgame coverage from the locker room.
