Joe can’t emphasize enough how the Bucs should run away with today’s football game at The Licht House. Yeah, the Panthers are that bad.

It’s that time on a Sunday when fans get very serious about their upcoming NFL wagers. [read more]

Impact.

Gametime decision.

The Bucs yesterday elevated two receivers from the practice squad. A move like that often means someone at receiver may not play.

That receiver could be Chris Godwin. The Bucs’ star has a neck injury of some sort and officially is listed as questionable today against the Stinking Panthers.

After midnight, Adam Schefter of BSPN reported Godwin “likely” will play but the Bucs won’t formally activate him until they speak with Godwin before kickoff.

Even though the Stinking Panthers are really bad, Joe believes the Bucs need all the help they can get.

Still reason to smile.

Yes, Joe knows most of Bucs fandom is depressed these days because the Bucs are 4-7. Joe gets it. [read more]

Big game today?

Joe could argue the early results show the Bucs had a nice draft this past spring. [read more]

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Nothing frosts Joe more than coaches who don’t use superior talent or use it the wrong way. If the 2023 season ended at noon today, this would sum up the Bucs season. [read more]

Much easier rowing for the Bucs defense.

The Panthers are a brutal, brutal team. The Bucs should be able to win by a touchdown with ease tomorrow at The Licht House. [read more]

Carolina QB Bryce Young.

On paper, Joe can fully understand where Bucs coach Todd Bowles is coming from. [read more]

Here comes mighty 1-10 Carolina to face the Bucs at The Licht House tomorrow.

It’s a U-Haul game for Todd Bowles. [read more]

Problems in the secondary.

Once upon a time, Todd Bowles was not just an NFL safety, but a starting safety on a Super Bowl winner with Washington. [read more]
