Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales.

After Sunday’s thrilling win over the Packers, Joe is confident one reason Bucs fans hit the ceiling in celebration is because the game felt like the first time all year the Bucs opened up the offense for 60 minutes. [read more]

A relatively healthy Bucs team for a Week 16 game is getting healthier.

The Thursday injury report shows manbeast defensive tackle Vita Vea practicing without limitations today after a “limited” day yesterday. Vea is nursing a toe issue.

Chris Godwin (knee) sat out practice but the Bucs listed that as a scheduled rest day.

Other than that, the Bucs are a healthy club minus Will Gholston being limited with knee and ankle issues, and Devin White possible having hurt feelings. Gholston was injured against the Falcons.

Devin White.

Killer stat.

Since Mike Evans was a rookie, the future Hall of Fame receiver always impressed Joe as having the best feet for a wide receiver maybe Joe has ever seen. [read more]

NFL is now involved.

Joe’s head is almost dizzy from the variations of ReportGate, what Bucs coach Todd Bowles knew and when did he know it concerning linebacker Devin White not playing Sunday in Green Bay. [read more]

Flash poll posted at 4:55 p.m. Poll closed at 8:39 p.m. Last week’s results linked here.

It’s a rather healthy Bucs team for Week 16.

The first injury report of the week was issued this afternoon and it’s filled with good news.

Carlton Davis, who did not play Sunday in Green Bay, was full-go with his healing groin. Ryan Neal was a no-go Sunday (back) and returned at full strength today. Vita Vea (toe) and Chris Godwin (knee) were limited in practice, but those are not new injuries. Devin White, as Joe wrote earlier, was full-go on his bad foot.

Those are the only banged up starters (assuming White is still a starter).
