It was good to see at least a few guys on the Buccaneers show up and fight for every blade of grass this afternoon during the shameful clubbing at the hands of the Panthers. [read more]

Lost in the today’s train-wreck showing by the Bucs was the benching of defensive end George Johnson.

Tampa Bay coughed up a fifth-round pick and paid Johnson about $3 million to start this season. [read more]

A learning day.

Not a pleasant day for America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. Happens to some of the best.

For example, John Elway had four picks in the 11th game of his rookie year and in his 16th game of his second season. [read more]

Bucs WR Mike Evans hears the jeers from outraged Bucs fans..

It wasn’t quite as bad as the season opener when the near-sellout crowd at the Den of Depression rose as one and nearly booed the Bucs off the field at halftime. [read more]

Ryan Delaire, a defensive end who spent all offseason and training camp with the Bucs, sacked Jameis Winston twice today.

Over and over again in Buccaneers training camp, No. 75 would flash against second- and third-teamers.

Today, he flashed over and over against the Bucs. [read more]

Bucs WR Vincent Jackson claims the Bucs are not fundamentally sound.

The Bucs tossed their cookies on the field of the Den of Depression this afternoon.

Uh-freaking-gen, man!

Yes, the blowhard haters will point to the four picks thrown by America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, the first foursome by a Bucs quarterback since then-veteran Josh Freeman at New Orleans in December 2012. [read more]

Lavonte David has 12 solo tackles through four games. Last year, David had 31 through four games. That’s no coincidence. [read more]

The Bucs were far more competitive in their first two home games of 2014, than in their first two home games of 2015.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Derrick Brooks and Mike Alstott are telling Bucs fans they need to be patient. [read more]

You have got to be s(p)itting Joe!

The Bucs, after a woeful start, had a chance at the end of the first half to tie the game 17-17. America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston is famous for last minute drives, and he had the Bucs marching in the Stinking Panthers red zone. [read more]

Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, sure was awful against Carolina today. He looked more like America’s Disappointment on this afternoon.

But what was most disturbing was that Jameis repeated mistakes. [read more]

Leave.

Enough! Joe doesn’t give a damn how far you can kick a field goal so long as you miss chip shots time and again.

Already Kyle Brindza, who has two of the longest field goals in Bucs history, has cost Tampa Bay 17 points in two games (well, through six quarters). [read more]

Game Four

Stinking Panthers at Bucs

Kickoff: 1 p.m. [read more]

Mike Evans hauling in passes sure would help out the Bucs today.

On face value, just looking at the box score, Mike Evans had a nice game against Houston last week.

He tied a career high with seven catches, for 101 yards and an average of 14.4 yards a catch.

But those who watched know a bigger truth: Evans had a game he would like to forget. [read more]

How Stinking Panthers TE Greg Olsen fares will speak volumes about Lovie Smith’s defense.

When you know a specific player is coming at you and a defense still cannot stop said player, it says something about the players used to defense said weapon, or the defense employed to stop said weapon.

Either way, it all falls back on one man today. That would be Bucs coach Lovie Smith. [read more]
