Heroic Rachaad White.

Guess who took the first Buccaneers handoff tonight in Houston? [read more]

History.

You don’t often see teams with back-to-back game-winning drives in the final two minutes of games. That’s why Joe is typing this here story. [read more]

Statement.

This was not just another victory.

Todd Bowles and Baker Mayfield shook off serious demons in Houston. It’s even got Joe thinking about February, and that has nothing to do with the NBA All-Star Game’s new format. [read more]

History smiles on the Bucs after Monday’s win. [read more]

Giddy.

Joe doesn’t know if Lavonte David was any happier when the Bucs won the Super Bowl than he sounded on the Buccaneers Radio Network after the game from the Bucs’ locker room. [read more]

First-career sack!

Joe loves sacks.

They’re drive killers. They get in quarterbacks heads. They jack up a defense and change games. [read more]

After hearing over and over this offseason how critical turnovers are to the Bucs being successful, Joe is ecstatic — and impressed — Tampa Bay is now 2-0 without forcing a turnover.

You like that, Todd Bowles? [read more]

Willed team to a win.

How awesome was this win? [read more]

Kicker Chase McLaughlin

Perhaps Busch Gardens will add a new roller coaster and simply call it: Todd Bowles’ Buccaneers. [read more]

Kickoff at 7 p.m., the first half of the Monday Night Football doubleheader.

Comment all game long below with Bucs fans and the resident haters. 

Save your insults for game officials, not each other.

Go Bucs!

Rachaad White is back.

Joe wasn’t touching anything with tonight’s game until it became official at 5:30 p.m. that right tackle Luke Goedeke is playing. [read more]

Baker Mayfield is not among the NFL’s top running quarterbacks. He’s no Kyler Murray or Jalen Hurts, but for one coach and for one night in particular, Mayfield is right there. [read more]

Flash poll posted at 3:05 p.m. Poll closed at 4:09 p.m.

Josh Grizzard has bragging rights on the line.

So Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley is a rookie in his gig just like the Bucs’ Josh Grizzard.

In fact, Caley was interviewed by Tampa Bay in January and Joe wasn’t too happy about it. [read more]

Joe’s posting this in hopes Baker Mayfield somehow sees it. Allegedly, the Bucs’ franchise quarterback gets motivated when he’s dissed publicly, and that’s what CBS Sports HQ did with the graphic below.

Joe was surprised just how historically bad Mayfield’s record is on Monday Night Football. Joe’s also surprised to see Hall of Fame QB Joe Namath’s name on there. Hopefully, Mayfield takes a step toward ending this mess tonight in Houston.

Linebacker SirVocea Dennis gets juked by Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts for a first down last week.

It’s game on the line, fourth down in the red zone with chance to drill the opposing quarterback who is now a runner in the open field. [read more]

Red zone offense.

“This Joe” usually turns the page on a game after a couple of days. But these stats from Week 1 jumped out so significantly this morning, Joe had to share. [read more]

Aware of night game struggles.

Don’t tell cornerback Zyon McCollum that the Bucs defense has an easy edge tonight. [read more]

Here come the Bucs!

If the Bucs game tonight plays out the way a notorious statgeek claims it will and the Bucs win, Joe might have to smoke a (tobacco) cigarette and take a cold shower. [read more]
