Buccaneers legend Derrick Brooks watched Sunday’s mess in Pittsburgh and dives in with renowned cream cheese expert Ira Kaufman. More fun and insight from The Identity Tampa Bay and Joe.

Bottomed out?

If you are wondering where Bucs third-year running back Sneak Vaughn has been hiding, if a report from a solid NFL reporter is correct, Vaughn might be harder to find around these parts soon. [read more]

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

It was so dumb. [read more]

Pattern developing?

In January 2019, Byron Leftwich may have had his NFL coaching career saved by his old offensive coordinator, Bucco Bruce Arians. [read more]

Todd Bowles

Head coach Todd Bowles took a bit of a beat down by a couple of big guns in the national media this week.

And Joe finds it hard to argue against their takes. [read more]

Our beloved Bucs are determined to figure out why they’re not playing like champions.

That has Joe off the couch at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters. [read more]

Yes, Tom Brady skipped Saturday’s walk-through practice and the Bucs proceeded to be dealt a stunning upset a day later while the offense sputtered. [read more]

Had to expect dropoff.

It appears one national reporter suggests the fall from the mountaintop may have happened quicker for the Bucs than they expected. [read more]

Bucco Bruce Arians

Donovan Smith

Called out by NFL broadcast partner.

This is interesting. [read more]

Some blame offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich for the Bucs’ miserable loss to the miserable Steelers. Others rail on the 89-yard special teams screwup and the horrible third-down defense. [read more]

Defends Tom Brady. Sort of.

A long-time NFL scribe who moonlights on national TV is sticking up for Tom Brady. Sort of. [read more]

Fan punching bag rookie left guard Luke Goedeke isn’t going anywhere and nobody’s pissed off at him at One Buc Palace.

Consider what Todd Bowles said about Goedeke on Tuesday. [read more]

Todd Bowles

Todd Bowles had a little pain in his voice last night, perhaps similar to the pain in the guts of Bucs fans on Sunday. [read more]

You know it. Joe knows it. Todd Bowles knows it. And certainly Mike Alstott knows it, if he’s not already checked into a mental facility after watching the Bucs fail repeatedly on short yardage the past two weeks. [read more]

“Clyde, Big Ben’s always been an asshat. You know that.”

Joe finds this exceptionally interesting considering Ben Roethlisberger is a Byron Leftwich guy and a close friend of Bucco Bruce Arians, and he knows what he’s looking at when it comes to old quarterbacks. [read more]

Surgery.
