November 30th, 2015

lovie 0804It’s a little too easy to find Lovie Smith bashers, guys steadfast in their belief that Smith is just a placeholder for a head coach who can get the Bucs back to the promised land.

These types look at Lovie’s 7-20 record as Tampa Bay head coach and start turning red and screaming. [read more]

Who Is The “Sheep?”

"Lions don't listen to sheep."

Not interested in opinions of sheep.

Cool footage on the Bucs bench caught by, well, Joe isn’t sure,

But Joe is going to guess WFLA-TV Channel 8. Joe is guessing this because WFLA sports reporter Paul Ryan Twittered this out last night of America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, getting all NSFW with who WFLA sports anchor Dan Lucas identified as practice squad dude Evan Spencer.

Colts QB Matt Hasselbeck talks about the Bucs’ defense.

Interesting takes from a savvy veteran quarterback coming from Lucas Oil Stadium in chilly, gloomy Indianapolis.

From the words of Colts 40-year old, bald quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, discipline is way overrated. [read more]

Lovie’s discipline message just isn’t getting through

So what was the worst of the Bucs’ ridiculous 12 penalties today? Joe’s going to go with Mike Evans’ false start on 3rd-and-5 in the red zone.

Brilliant!

Embarrassing Pass Defense

November 29th, 2015
Part of the reason the Bucs defense was so putrid against the pass today was that Colts ancient QB Matt Hasselbeck had so much time in the pocket he could order a pizza.

Part of the reason the Bucs’ defense was so putrid against the pass today was that Colts ancient QB Matt Hasselbeck had so much time in the pocket he could order a pizza.

Remember when the Bucs got torched before the cornerbacks combination of Sterling Moore and Hey Jude clicked?

Ugly Penalities Return

Bad penalty at a terrible time.

Bad penalty at a terrible time.

No, Joe is not going to blame the referees. To Joe, that is beyond immature.
