Wildly inconsistent.

Joe knows fans grumble because Joe has faith in Tom Brady. Why folks seem to want Blaine Gabbert — or (gasp!) Kyle Trask — is beyond Joe’s comprehension. [read more]

PRESENTED BY

Hope continues to linger at One Buc Palace that Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen will play this season — in the playoffs.

Tom Brady himself even jumped in that pool yesterday. [read more]

Sad results.

Dating back to the Dirk Koetter regime, the Bucs were built for throwing downfield. Koetter often talked about explosive plays, and Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Mr. Entertainment, Jameis Winston, and to a lesser degree, Cam Brate, delivered. [read more]

The battle for the NFC South crown on Sunday at The Licht House is sort of a loser bowl. [read more]

Locker room tensions flared.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall. [read more]

Arrow pointing up.

Back when Bucs cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting racked up three picks in the 2020 playoffs, including a critical interception of Aaron Rodgers in the 2020 NFC Championship game (the Bucs likely don’t win without that pick), Joe thought SMB was about to become an NFL stud. [read more]

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

This is why Joe is so pessimistic about the Bucs beating the Stinking Panthers on New Year’s Day. [read more]

So will Tom Brady play for the Bucs next season?

Perhaps a better question is whether he’ll play at all. [read more]

Finally, an adjustment.

One thing Joe harps on so much about failing Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich is that he rarely adjusts. [read more]

Joe is all jacked up to see the Bucs dissect the Panthers, winners of just one road game this season, and lock up the NFC South title Sunday at The Licht House. [read more]

Sunday status unknown.

It could be ugly on New Year’s Day, and not from a hangover. [read more]

Gronk speaks out on the Bucs offense.

You are fed up. Cris Collinsworth is fed up. Dan Orlovsky is fed up. Marcus Spears is fed up. Hell, Joe’s even fed up. [read more]
