Showtime in Charlotte! Are the Bucs a good team or a bad team? A clear hard answer comes today. Hopefully.
React with fans all game long in the comments below!!
Stick with Joe for lots out of this critical game. Maybe the Bucs will wake up and jump on the rotten Panthers. Joe would love to see Kyle Trask in the fourth quarter.
Ninety minutes from kickoff and Joe is dialed in on the words of a key Buccaneer who didn’t play last Sunday. [read more]

Let him throw (if pain-free).
For much of the year, Joe was so frustrated with the Bucs offense because Joe thought the Bucs were letting some of their best weapons rot on the vine through devotion to running the ball. [read more]

Update.
It appears the Bucs have a starting cornerback back!
The Bucs updated their official injury report this morning. The most important one is cornerback Carlton Davis. He cleared concussion protocol and will play in the do-or-die game at Carolina tomorrow.
The news is not as good for linebacker K.J. Britt (calf). Britt has been downgraded to doubtful.
Outside linebacker Cam Gill has a bum knee and is new to the injury report. His status is questionable.
Joe loves hearing the Bucs optimists. Those great folks know Tampa Bay will take out the Panthers easily tomorrow, complete a love-worthy regular season and advance to the playoffs where the Eagles likely will greet them at The Licht House. [read more]
