Welcome to Victory Monday, Bucs fans!
So it is official. With four games left, the Bucs are an even .500, 6-6. In December. They are in second place in the NFC South and own a tiebreaker over the Dixie Chicks. [read more]
More video of pumped up Lovie.
Joe always wants to show these videos for the anti-Lovie Smith crowd that howls because the head coach doesn’t act like a cartoon character on the sideline. [read more]
Director of Football Operations Shelton Quarles and his children join Bucs GM Jason Licht and his family in the traditional victory plunge Sunday.
The tradition continues.
Whenever Tampa Bay wins, Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht dives in his pool, fully clothed in the suit he wore during the vicotory. But maybe Licht’s tired of coughing up ugly cleaning bills because he was wearing a cheap jacket Sunday. [read more]
Tag along with Jameis.
Ever wonder what it might be like to run on the field before the game at the Den of Depression? [read more]
Tomorrow morning you’ll find Joe at a local Denny’s restaurant demanding they rename their famous Grand Slam breakfast “The Jason Licht.”

RT Demar Dotson talks about Jameis’ influence in the game-winning drive.
If you ever get a chance to talk to a Tampa Bay veteran, ask them about “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, and watch how their face lights up. [read more]
Lovie sure does love some Mike Jenkins.

Boy, oh boy, is Mike Evans a frustrating watch. The full frontal of Evans was on display today, the hair-pulling, beer-throwing bad, and the cheap hug of the well-endowed chick sitting next to you in exultation. [read more]
Dirk Koetter was on a mission
Your unpredictable Buccaneers opened the game handing the ball off to Doug Martin six consecutive times.
Perhaps Dirk Koetter was doing some twisted self-punishment after senselessly giving up on Martin in the second half seven days ago. [read more]
Contenders!
Today was a day we would find out if the Bucs were a pretender or a contender.
Folks, the Bucs are a contender. [read more]
V-Jax gets serious
Vincent Jackson made a few plays himself today, en route to 87 yards receiving on just three receptions.
But Jackson was quiet after the game and only seemed to want to talk about America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston. [read more]
Godsend!
Joe is sitting here at the Den of Depression press box staring out onto the empty bowl of the stadium — the grass hardly looks like a game was played just an hour ago — trying to put into words what Joe watched earlier in the afternoon. [read more]

How bout that depth on the Buccaneers’ defensive line!
Missing two starters today, Gerald McCoy and Jacquies Smith, Tampa Bay’s run defense was stout and the pass rush looked unchanged. [read more]
Give it up for the head coach of the Buccaneers.
Lovie Smith survived a gruesome 2-14 season and a complete embarrassment on opening day this year to earn a return in 2016. [read more]
How bout those Dropaneers!
Not even absent Gerald McCoy and costly butter hands by Mike Evans, Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Doug Martin can slow the Buccaneers’ revival under America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston. [read more]
