Mike Evans answered the tough questions this afternoon at One Buc Palace, such as why was he spotted before tens of thousands of people wearing a Browns jersey on Saturday?
At least it wasn’t Josh McCown’s jersey. That would be cause for a riot in Tampa and a mental health exam for the Bucs’ budding receiver. [read more]
Decision Time

“I’m Almost In There About To Cry”
October 20th, 2015
The quickest tonic for the Bucs’ ailing secondary seems to be a return of Johnthan Banks and Alterraun Verner to the starting lineup.
At least one of those appears likely, following today’s locker room chatter at One Buc Palace. [read more]

A big masher in the Bucs’ running game has been on the sidelines the past couple of games.

“Quicker Than I Expected”
October 20th, 2015
If Lovie Smith is king of anything, he’s king of optimistic head coaches. Lovie’s proud to tell you his glass is always half full — or more.
So it’s very interesting when Lovie and the Bucs have their expectations exceeded. [read more]
Dotson, Spence Return To Practice Field

“We Can’t Be A Dynamic Team …”
October 20th, 2015
Joe’s not fully understanding the takes of Lovie Smith and some ex-Buccaneers when it comes to what constitutes the best balance for the Tampa Bay offense.
It’s almost like these guys don’t realize the typical NFL team throws the ball 35 times a game, and under 30 times isn’t common. [read more]
Ground Game OK With Jameis
October 20th, 2015
All about winning.
You’ve heard it; Joe’s heard it. From the moment the Bucs selected “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston, in the draft, he has told one and all how much he is a competitor. [read more]

Is Kwon Holding Back Lavonte?
October 20th, 2015
Is the lack of blitzes from Lavonte David because he is covering for Kwon Alexander?
Prior to this season, you could make an argument that Lavonte David was the best outside linebacker in the NFL playing in a 43 defense.
This year? Well, David has been known for bad tackling more than anything else. [read more]
Twisting Aqib Talib History
October 20th, 2015
People have awfully short memories of Aqib Talib’s history with the Bucs.
It was almost predictable. Joe was on Twitter Sunday and the moment cabbie-punching, granny-hassling, gun-totin’, helmet-wielding, Adderall-popping Aqib Talib ran back a pick-six on Josh McClown, Joe’s Twitter mentions were filled with how the Bucs screwed up. [read more]
“Code Red” Game At Washington
October 19th, 2015
“Simple as that, Jay. We put it on you.”
Last year, the 1-8 Bucs went to Washington and beat the snot out of the Redskins 27-7. Even ghostly Michael Johnson had a sack, one of six for Tampa Bay on the day.
So Skins head coach Jay Gruden is speaking out, clearly knowing his sorry team is in a world of trouble come Sunday. [read more]
What Is Worse?
October 19th, 2015

Blitz Diet Won’t Stop Soon For Jameis
October 19th, 2015
An Xs and Os guru weighs in

Who could forget J.J. Watt and the Texans, which dumped mobile Blake Bortles three times yesterday, being unable to take down Jameis? [read more]
“How Disgusting Is It”
October 19th, 2015
The sight of Aqib Talib makes Shaun King angry
You want to know a guy who bleeds Buccaneers red? That’s former Bucs quarterback Shaun King, who grew up in St. Pete loving the Bucs, and then realized his dream when he led Tampa Bay to the NFC title game.
