The last time the Bucs opened a season with a divisional road win, Ray Perkins was stalking the Pontiac Silverdome sidelines in 1990, berating officials.

Tampa Bay has fired seven head coaches since that point, so Sunday’s victory was especially notable.

And defensive end Robert Ayers summed it up very well. [read more]

Here we go! Joe is pumped beyond comprehension!

The Georgia Dome is rocking!! Joe is here, along with the A-list JoeBucsFan.com photo team.
