Mike Leach and Todd Bowles.

In Joe’s mind, one of the laziest if not empty-headed football axioms is, “We want a balanced attack.” [read more]

In-season weight loss.

No, this is nothing quite like DonutGate with Leonard “Playoff Lenny” Fournette during the 2022 preseason, but it’s interesting nonetheless. [read more]

Bucs WR Chris Godwin.

If you get the vibe that the Bucs offense has changed since Mariah Godwin, wife of Bucs receiver Chris Godwin, exploded on Instagram about two weeks ago on Todd Bowles about Godwin’s targets, join the club. Joe gets the same vibe. [read more]

It was time.

Injured linebacker Devin White.

So buried by the explosive Bucs win today over the Packers in Lambeau Field was former No. 5 overall pick inside linebacker Devin White being deactivated for today’s game. There were conflicting reports as to why. [read more]

“Here’s how it works, Mr. Glazer.”

Whatever is going on as it relates to Devin White being a healthy scratch today in the biggest game of the season, Joe is confidence the Bucs won’t release White. [read more]

Healthy scratch?

The Bucs published their inactive list for today’s game against the Packers and inside linebacker Devin White will miss his third straight game with a bum foot.

He last played at Indianapolis Nov. 26, after which White explained how hard it is for him to be ready for a game. He talked about “treatment around the clock.”

However, Stacy Dales of NFL Network reports Devin White is inactive today not due to any injury.

A healthy scratch for the former No. 5 overall pick? Joe will let your mind wander about this but remember what JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman said with confidence on his podcast two weeks ago — that White has played his last snap for the Bucs.

Others inactive are safety Ryan Neal, corners Carlton Davis and Josh Hayes, tackle Brandon Walton and defensive lineman Will Gholston.

Feel free to wager (and Joe has) that the Buccaneers are going to pound the rock today on the non-frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.

There’s a ton of excitement about it at One Buc Palace. [read more]
