Jason Licht talks about today’s major lineup change
The way Bucs general manager Jason Licht talked about Demar Dotson today, it sure seemed like Dotson’s relocation to left tackle was not just a one-time thing.
Dotson slid left and played reasonably well for his first game at left tackle. It could signal the end of the Anthony Collins era. [read more]
This information gets Joe so whacked out he just wants to ram his head through the wall. It is unconscionable.
Does the Bucs offense stick their collective heads in a urinal at halftime (and flush)? What is going on?
On the very first friggin’ play from scrimmage in the second half, the Bucs get called for a false start by Garrett Gilkey. [read more]
On the Buccaneers Radio Network postgame show on WDAE-AM 620, Lovie Smith updated Gerald McCoy’s injury.
Right now, per Lovie, Bucs fans from all corners of the globe can let out a collective sigh of relief and grab a cocktail. [read more]
Joe knows plenty of Bucs fans will be sending gifts to backup defensive end Larry English tomorrow.
Perhaps roses are in order. [read more]
Apparently, Lovie Smith and the Bucs defense didn’t learn from the first meeting with the Stinking Panthers that tight end Greg Olsen is talented.
Want to know how awful the Bucs have been coached up this year?
Today’s game is Exhibit-A.
The Bucs are marching towards the top pick in next spring’s draft. They are 2-12. By any measure, Lovie Smith’s charges have deserved an “F” grade for coaching.
Terrible. [read more]
Another carving at the hands of Derek Anderson
The Bucs were dominated for the second consecutive week, this time at the hands of a 4-8-1 football team that now has five wins.
Simple as that, as Lovie Smith likes to say.
Despite starting two rookie guards, a backup quarterback, and a 2013 Buccaneers practice squad guy at right tackle, the Panthers offense marched up and down the field. [read more]
Interact with fans here all game long
This is where wildly passionate Bucs fans hammer away in the comments section all game long.
It’s always a fun time, and a fantastic place to ride the rollercoaster and share your in-game sorrow (usually).
Can the Bucs improved defense slow down the fourth best QB in the NFC South, Derek Anderson?
They saw him once before, and the Panthers have two rookie guards. If not, Joe suspects the comments here might turn particularly ugly.
Enjoy the game. No sharing of illegal video streams. That’s only good for your own emails.
Lovie makes a move
Whoa!
Anthony Collins practiced all week and is inactive today, and look who’s at left tackle. [read more]
No helmet today for left tackle Anthony Collins, among other big name Buccaneers.
Here’s the official list, via Scott Smith, of Buccaneers.com: [read more]
Doug Martin spent his previous two seasons playing for bad Greg Schiano football teams.
Did those teams quit in December? [read more]
The Bucs’ 2011 second-round pick has been looking like an NFL player
Is Da’Quan Bowers finally healthy?
Is he motivated in the final days of his rookie contract?
Is his frayed mental state restored? [read more]
Corralling Stinking Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart should be priority No. 1 today.
The last time the Stinking Panthers squared off against the Bucs, despite having the immortal Derek Anderson at quarterback, the Stinking Panthers rolled up 334 yards of offense to win.
If the Bucs are going to win today (and kiss goodbye the No. 1 overall pick in the draft), they must do something about that. Unfortunately, the Stinking Panthers are coming off a helluva offensive performance. [read more]
Look for Riverboat Ron Rivera to follow the leads of Marvin Lewis and Jim Caldwell
The Tampa Bay offense isn’t just bad, it’s been completely disrespected by opponents over the past two weeks.
Remember that wacky, senseless onside kick by the Bengals two weeks ago? The one with Cincinnati leading 14-10 with 2:04 remaining in the third quarter? [read more]
Time’s up for a member of the Bucs’ O-line, says NFL Films guru Greg Cosell.
In a matter of minutes before “98.7 The Fan” was shut down by the sports radio station’s ownership this month, longtime NFL Films chief Greg Cosell was on their airwaves talking all things Bucs.
Cosell made it clear that Josh McCown, per the film, was nothing more than backup fodder, but Cosell also had firm words for the offensive line. [read more]
A career scout weighs in on mechanics
Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, national champion James Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon and Josh McCown.
It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback to wear No. 5 ever in the state of Florida. [read more]
Albert Breer, of NFL.com and NFL Network, projects six openings at general manager across the NFL in a matter of days, and Breer says former Bucs rockstar general manager Mark Dominik is among the “second-chancers” who could get a serious look.
What? How could this be? So many Bucs fans consider Dominik to be clueless. [read more]
ESPN pumped out key data recently for their Insiders, those who pay their hard-earned cash every month to read allegedly fancier articles.
One nugget clarified a key offseason point for Bucs fans. [read more]
It’s time for Joe’s weekly podcast! As always, Joe joins the silky smooth pipes of Ronnie Lane, of the Buccaneers Radio Network and the Ronnie and TKras show on WDAE-AM 620.
Joe hits on various topics of the day. [read more]
Bucs rookie tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins has a shot at a club mark despite all his injuries.
Joe just has to thank general manager Jason Licht. The man completely and totally hit a home run when he drafted wide receiver Mike Evans in the first round. Evans very well could be the NFL rookie of the year.
How good has Evans been? The weekly release from the Bucs’ media relations staff touting individual and team highlights has four full pages devoted to Evans’ accomplishments. [read more]
One Bucs beat writer thinks QB is not the team’s top need
Raise your hand if you think the Buccaneers’ No. 1 need is a starting quarterback.
Joe’s hand is up. But Joe’s media brethren are not all in agreement. [read more]
