Shame.

The Washington Redskins have been playing some 83 years, beginning as the Boston Braves before moving to our nation’s capital in 1937.

Their rich history includes some of the game’s greatest. [read more]

A local columnist believes Lovie Smith’s fate was sealed yesterday.

Bucs fans were aghast watching the debacle of Kirk Freaking Cousins shredding the Bucs’ defense as if it were a Pasco County private school playing in a summer seven-on-seven league. [read more]

You won’t find a bigger Bucs fan than Joe.

Not only does Joe love the Bucs, but Joe’s livelihood is hooked to the team. Bucs win, and more fans come to the website. Bucs lose, and a percentage of fans don’t want to hear, read or think about the team for at least a few days. [read more]

Admits defense lost today’s game.

A distraught Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, class act that he is, held court with the fourth estate after today’s debacle, and was nearly speechless he was so unnerved. [read more]

Why couldn’t Jameis plunge into the end zone on third-and-goal from the one?

The Bucs were on the cusp of winning this game. No, really.

Clinging to a three-point lead with 7:29 left in regulation, America’s Quarterback, without Vincent Jackson or Louis Murphy, marched the Bucs 93 yards to set up a 3rd-and-goal from the one yard line. [read more]

Today’s Mr. Personal Foul.

Tough to say that with Gerald McCoy, Lavonte David and Johnthan Banks on the roster. [read more]

The Bucs were knocked out by the Redskins, but at least Mike Evans answered the bell.

Evans erased mounting doubt surrounding a 10-game streak of average-to-below-average play. [read more]

Outscored in the third quarter — by a terrible third-quarter team.

Entering today’s debacle, where the defense of the Bucs shat the bed, throwing away a 24-0 lead to Kirk Freaking Cousins, it was so embarrassing on so many levels. [read more]

“Outstanding” was the adjective used for Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, after another interception-free and effective performance today.

That’s two in a row. [read more]

The modern day Johnny Unitas at work against the Bucs today.

Bucs fans, how did you like today’s shat-in-the-bed performance by the Bucs defense, Lovie Smith’s defense? [read more]

Shameful defense.

This was a joke of a game and it almost seems to Joe that the Bucs defense under Lovie Smith is gutless.

Almost. [read more]

Lovie Smith asked the Buccaneers’ struggling and sour pass defense to win the game today, instead of letting the high-priced, high-octane Bucs offense win it when he had the perfect chance.

Simple as that, Lovie. You played to your weakness. [read more]

Hopefully, Lovie Smith will wake up to the Mike Jenkins disaster.

Regular readers here know Joe has been in disbelief since the day the Bucs signed Mike Jenkins in 2014.

Lovie is flat out in love with the guy, and those chickens sure came home to roost this afternoon. [read more]

The Bucs did today what garbage football teams do.

They found a way to lose, make a crappy quarterback look like a legend, and choked up a 24-0 lead, courtesy of garbage defense, endless penalties and a secondary that flat out stinks. [read more]

Those who listened to Lovie Smith’s radio shows recently know why the head coach is all smiles about his running game.

It’s not really about Doug Martin. [read more]
