ESPN has stunning data
Based just on the first 11 games, it is clear the Bucs swung and missed on just about every free agent they bagged in the offseason. It is really depressing.
And don’t get Joe started on that slug Mike Jenkins. [read more]
One axiom of those with the mentality that defense wins championships is, running the ball means winning.
The Bucs haven’t been running the ball. And yes, the Bucs are losing, just one game away from the coveted No. 1 overall pick in the draft. [read more]
Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, national champion James Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon and Josh McCown.
It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback to wear No. 5 ever in the state of Florida. [read more]
Wait a minute.
Former Jets head coach and Bucs assistant head coach Herm Edwards was the guy who predicted Tampa Bay was headed to the Super Bowl this season. [read more]
Tough duty for de facto offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo
There’s been all kinds of talk about the Buccaneers jelling and improving on defense.
And they are.
But that’s nothing compared to what the Bengals, Tampa Bay’s opponent Sunday, have been doing. [read more]
One would have thought that when Tampa Bay purged just about every capable offensive lineman from its roster last spring, that the concept was to improve, not to get your skilled position players maimed.
Joe wonders how four 2013 starters were tossed overboard, and all found a way to start and produce with other offensive lines — two for playoff-bound teams. Maybe Bucs overlord of football operations Lovie Smith was a bit too quick to pull the trigger? [read more]
A lot of Tampa Bay fans want to throw so many players in the chilly Gulf right now; Joe is sure they don’t know where to start.
Bucs fans are simply not in a thankful mood toward their beloved team, and Joe cannot blame them.
What started out with so much promise has blown up in fans’ faces. It is sad. [read more]
Joe just wants to wish all his readers (and the handful of haters who can’t give up this site) the best today in one of Joe’s favorite holidays.
Think about it? What day can you eat like an animal, often wolfing down unhealthy fare, and drink like a thirsty fish all day and night while enjoying football from noon until late in the evening? [read more]
A Thursday off, a Thanksgiving off, is a rarity for NFL players.
But your Buccaneers will be stuffing their faces and watching football with the rest of us today — on the heels of a rare Tuesday practice that left its mark. [read more]
Remember what may have been the most drama-filled Bucs offseason?
It was when Father Dungy was launched and Team Glazer hunted for a new head coach, the man who eventually was Chucky, because Team Glazer found general manager Richie McKay’s offerings unsatisfactory.
Fun times, especially when Team Glazer made a deal with the devil [Al Davis] for Chucky. [read more]
Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, national champion James Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon and Josh McCown.
It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback to wear No. 5 ever in the state of Florida. [read more]
Former Buccaneers quarterback Shaun King wagged a very firm finger of shame at two current Bucs veterans. [read more]
Bucs defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier believes Mark Barron’s successor at safety is a big reason why the defense has improved.
Bucs defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier sure seemed more upbeat than usual today in his weekly press briefing. Maybe it is because of the looming Thanksgiving holiday, which he termed “great” with emphasis.
Or, it could be his defense is no longer wretched. [read more]
Tomorrow, Joe will compare results here to those of previous weeks.
The world’s greatest coach, who just loves football and loves to talk football but doesn’t want to coach football, is back at it.
Chucky participated in a promotional video for GoPro to show how much the video camera can help high school football programs.
Naturally, Chucky broke out his fired football coaches schtick as if he is some martyr. This drives Joe nuts. Get over it, Chucky. [read more]
He likely could be had for a second-round pick, says a former Redskins executive.
Yes, super-talented, 24-year old quarterback Robert Griffin, III, has been benched and many believe his days in Washington are finished.
The Buccaneers, to be kind, could use a new starting QB. [read more]
Josh McCown brought this up on his Buccaneers Radio Network show last night, and it was a fantastic point.
McCown, though not an all-time great, has played with many all-time greats and knows Mike Evans’ fantastic development won’t end in when the Bucs close out the 2014 season in a month. [read more]
The 2-9 Buccaneers aren’t used to playing good football teams.
That a little scary as they approach a tough stretch of their schedule, starting Sunday with the 7-3-1 Bengals coming to Tampa with a punishing rushing attack and a quarterback who wins plenty of games.
