The first official Bucs injury report for this week is out and YaYa Diaby (shoulder) and Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett (ankle) showed up with new injuries.

Neither participated in practice today. They were joined by Chase Edmonds and his new toe injury, and Chris Godwin got what appeared to be a rest day for his banged up knee.

Baker Mayfield was full-go in practice but is listed on the report for his healing ribs/ankle.

Todd Bowles

In a matter of days, it seems people have gone from talking about Todd Bowles walking  the plank to asking him about retirement dateds and whether he would have a succession plan when he steps down from his throne. [read more]

Happy with offense Monday.

Back in Week 3 when the Bucs hosted the Eagles, the Bucs got stomped by Philadelphia. The normally strong run defense of a Todd Bowles-coached team could not stop Eagles running back D’Andre Swift. [read more]

There was Dancing in the Street along Dale Mabry as the Bucs turned their attention to Motown.

Tampa Bay displayed more passion and execution throughout Monday night’s 32-9 rout of the feeble Eagles, who just completed one of the most glaring collapses in NFL history.

Now the Bucs get another crack at an opponent that handled them a lopsided regular-season setback.

Unlike the Eagles, the Lions don’t look like they’re falling apart amid injuries and turmoil. Detroit has been established as a 6-point favorite to advance to the NFC championship game, but the surging Bucs won’t go in scared.

They beat the Eagles physically from the opening snap and never let up, even stopping the Push Tush when K.J. Britt vaulted over the pile to stymie Jalen Hurts. Baker Mayfield shredded a soft pass defense for 337 yards and three touchdowns while Philadelphia failed to convert any of its nine third-down opportunities. [read more]
