Comment all through this glorious playoff game with fellow Buccaneers fans and a few Eagles-loving jerks.
Behave like a decent human being — unless you’re blasting the zebras or those Philly fans.
Go Bucs!!!!
Cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting
Sean Murphy-Bunting’s bad hamstring was tested moments ago and it did not pass.
Inhale deeply. Here comes the bottle of cologne, Pierre Desir, to fill in at cornerback.
Iconic Bucs inside linebacker Lavonte David is active. Let’s hope his bad foot is good can withstand a whole game, or at least a hearty chunk of quality play.
No Playoff Lenny today. [read more]
Ryan Succop
Ryan Succop was an 83.3 percent field goal kicker this season, which ranked him behind three former Bucs kickers and 23rd-best overall among full-time NFL kickers. [read more]
Pivotal moment
Some Bucs fans would have straight up applauded if running back Ke’Shawn “Sneak” Vaughn was cut after his hands failed him in the Bucs’ embarrassing 9-0 loss to the Saints at The Licht House four weeks ago. [read more]
Big game today?
In the win over the Stinking Panthers last week, Bucs stud receiver Mike Evans had a monster catch-and-run near the end of the first half on a touchdown drive that gave the Bucs the lead for good. [read more]
Need big games from this big duo.
Yes, since we constantly refer to the still unfinished 2021 season as “this season,” it is sometimes tricky for Joe to remember we are in 2022. [read more]
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts.
To read how Derrik Klassen of Football Outsiders breaks down Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts as a passer against the blitz, Hurts is like a modern-day big-league baseball player.
Home run or strike out. [read more]

It is hard for Joe to think of the Bucs playing the Eagles in the postseason without thinking of Rondé Barber. His pick-six against the Eagles in the NFC Championship game will forever be remembered by those who saw it. It is the signature sports moment in Tampa Bay history.
So enjoy this Bucs hype video for today’s game, hosted by — who else? — Rondé Barber. The old warhorse has returned to set the stage for today’s game, and trigger Eagles fans.
With our whole Krewe behind us, cannons will fire.#PHIvsTB | #GoBucs pic.twitter.com/tRbX1seats
