Focused.

The Stinking Panthers are the worst team in the league. There is a reason for that. [read more]

Shut it down.

“This Joe”  is done with the Pro Bowl. The selection process is worse than a Carrot Top routine in Las Vegas. [read more]

Another Pro Bowl.

When the Pro Bowl rosters were announced earlier this evening, one name was a total no-brainer. [read more]

Injury report.

While naturally the starting quarterback not being able to practice four days before a do-or-die game will get much of the attention, other Bucs also could not go today. [read more]

Numbers can lie sometimes, but not this time. [read more]

Bucs QB Kyle Trask.

The pressure may be on. [read more]

Status in question.

Sunday will be the season’s most important game. The Bucs at Carolina will decide if the Bucs are a playoff team or if it’s time to bolt to the Dominican Republic. The Bucs may have to turn to a man who has never started an NFL game: Kyle Trask. [read more]

He was open.

An apology to Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales may be in order. [read more]

“Kyle, we endured this twice together. I don’t think it’ll happen again.”

Not since Tom Brady crapped the bed last season against the Bengals at The Licht House — 2 interceptions and 2 lost fumbles in a span of 10 offensive plays — have the Bucs had four turnovers in a game like they did on Sunday.
