Joe tunes into the Buccaneers Radio Network every weeknight for an education. Players and coaches hop on WDAE-AM 620 and expose their minds a bit. [read more]

Dealing with the crowd noise at Death Valley and the well-oiled Cajuns at the Superdome are a bit different.

So now that America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, has his first home game under his belt, it is on to bigger challenges. That would be a road game. [read more]

Joe’s known for his addiction to SiriusXM NFL Radio, and Joe fed that addiction this afternoon listening to former Super Bowl quarterback Rich Gannon talk about Marcus Mariota. [read more]

Bucs OC Dirk Koetter was in no mood to hand out empty praise today.

Dirk Koetter could turn out to be the second coming of Jeff Jagodzinski for all Joe cares, and Joe already is smitten with the Bucs’ offensive coordinator.

When asked a question, any type of question, Koetter has no filters. [read more]

Lollipop snaps to America’s Quarterback are a new problem.

Joe got this a lot since the Titanic loss to the Titans Sunday.

Jameis Winston was a quote machine this afternoon.

The Tennessee Titans aren’t the University of Pittsburgh and Oklahoma State, the last two opening day opponents of Florida State University. [read more]

New Bucs right tackle Gosder Cherilus had a rough day

Back in preseason, offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter spoke following the beating by the Browns and said, “We stunk.”

Today, he sang a similar tune at One Buc Palace. [read more]

Has Lovie painted himself into a corner?

Joe just has to link to an article that used the word “plague” in the second paragraph when it comes to the current miserable state of the Bucs.

And who else to use such a word than hand-grenade-tosser, ornery Alan Dell of the Bradenton Herald. [read more]

A lot of fans scoffed when Lovie Smith aid it was just one game, after his defense was pistol-whipped (again) Sunday, this time by a rookie quarterback making his NFL debut.

Former Bucs commander Greg Schiano offers his two cents on his former team.

Through 17 games under Lovie Smith, it is easy to argue the previous Bucs administration under former commander Greg Schiano had more success. [read more]

Joe likes to call the first Monday after the NFL season-opening weekend, “Overreation Monday.”

Fans, and sometimes media types, often take the result of the first game over the edge whether it is good or bad. [read more]

There’s a damning report on Lovie Smith’s defense from one of the more respected NFL analysts going. And that would be Mike Tanier of FootballOutsiders.com.

Joe has met (and had beers with) Tanier a few times, and though Tanier, a former math teacher (a cursed profession of masochists if there ever was one), decided to go the stat geek route, what Joe loves about Tanier is his common-sense approach with stats. [read more]
