Mike Evans

The good news is Mike Evans got a great shot in on hated and dirty Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, and it may have sparked a huge Bucs win. [read more]

Chasing perfection?

Wow, Joe absolutely loved hearing this! [read more]

Santa act looked familiar.

After forcing Bucs fans to endure the horror of 30 interceptions during the 2019 season, Jameis Winston delivered sweet payback today by throwing three fourth-quarter picks to the Bucs — three! — including a trademark pick-six to Mike Edwards. [read more]

It’s not lost on Joe that the Bucs won today while playing most of this game with a third-string left tackle getting his first meaningful NFL action, a rookie left guard and a center making his second career start.

That’s often the stuff blowout losses are made of. [read more]

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

If Joe was Todd Bowles, Joe would know what to do immedialty after today’s 20-10 win over the slimy Saints in the Big Easy. [read more]

Thank you, a@@hole!

You see this all the time in baseball. It doesn’t happen often in football. But Joe is convinced a hassle early in the fourth quarter lit the Bucs’ pilot light. [read more]

Bucs WR Breshad Perriman.

Damn, this Breshad Perriman is starting to become Mr. Clutch. [read more]

Monster game.

Cornerback Jamel Dean put his foot down months ago. It’s a contract year for him and he’s shooting for a fat bag in free agency. [read more]

Hex broken!

The slugfest is over and Joe is exhausted — and exhilarated.

Our beloved Buccaneers have emerged as the bad-boy bruisers of the NFC South while Saints hate across the Tampa Bay area has reached a new and glorious level. [read more]

Here we go!

The Bucs are playing for a massive “W” in New Orleans with a depleted roster. What a massive win this would, but it’s no must-win.

Bark, laugh, cry and cheer all game long with fellow fans (and a few haters) in the comments below.

Go Bucs!!!!

Joe cannot emphasize enough what an incredible deal this is. Load up for today’s games! Burger Monger is spectacular. Four Tampa Bay area locations.

Joe would be more intrigued by this development if the Bucs hadn’t lost so many games to slimy Saints quarterbacks not named Jameis Winston. [read more]

Bucs tight end Kyle Rudolph will not make his 2022 debut today.

Ugh!

The Bucs will have six active receivers against the slimy Saints this afternoon: Julio Jones (knee) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) will not be among them.

The available targets are Mike Evans, Russell Gage, Breshad Perriman, Scotty Miller, Jaelon Darden and Kaylon Geiger, just activated off the practice squad.

Donovan Smith is out (elbow) and the other dudes with no helmet on today are rookie cornerback Zyon McCollum (hamstring), tight end Kyle Rudolph, running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn and third-string QB Kyle Trask.

“Julio, I got better things to do with my time, man.”

It’s official, via NFL.com, and certainly subject to change. But as of today Tom Brady will take a personal day every Wednesday for the rest of the 2022 season. [read more]

Donovan Smith

Three hours from kickoff in New Orleans, it’s now official that Buccaneers left tackle Donovan Smith will miss today’s game because of his hyper-extended elbow.

Smith is an eight-year veteran and you can still count how many starts he’s ever missed on one hand.

Huge task ahead for journeyman Josh Wells — against the Saints players, as well as their super-loud crowd.

Joe was a little surprised to see Joe’s flash poll last night revealed 73.4 percent of Bucs fans think Tampa Bay will beat the Saints this afternoon in New Orleans.

Joe gets the confidence, but why so strong? Joe and Ira Kaufman picked our beloved Buccaneers to lose. [read more]

Hang with Ira Kaufman and Bucs fans at the gorgeous Big Storm Brewery taproom in Clearwater, 12707 49th St. North.

Fully covered outdoor seating with great sight lines, plus the indoor taproom if you want to stay super cool. The menu is top shelf and Big Storm is Florida’s best craft beer. Grab a Bromosa and cheer on the Bucs!

Say hi to Ira and hang with fellow Bucs fans.

Mike Evans is expected to play. Multiple starters may not.

Adam Schefter must sleep about as little as Joe does. [read more]

Rookie LG Luke Goedeke

Watching Playoff Lenny get 127 yards last week against Dallas was a thing of beauty. Of course, it helps to have the horses to block. [read more]
