Done.

This was supposed to be a coronation, the official end of a 4-run atop the NFC South by the Saints.

New Orleans arrived in Tampa without its head coach and two of the NFL’s premier offensive tackles. Riding a 4-game winning streak, the Bucs were averaging 37.5 points per game at home, unbeaten at Raymond James Stadium.

All signs appeared to point to a joyous evening for the home team, but one sign over in the corner read DETOUR. Before a prime-time audience and thousands of disbelieving fans, only half of the Buc team showed up. [read more]

Test results.

It could be worse.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network says MRI tests of Chris Godwin’s sprained MCL are back and Godwin is done for the regular season.

However, Rapoport noted Godwin “should” be ready to get back on the field for the playoffs.

Joe is actually breathing a sigh of relief. This could have been so much worse.

Officially, Godwin finishes his fifth regular season with 98 catches for 1,103 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Crumbled.

Odd talking point from coach.

Look, Joe is not here to crucify Ronald Jones. Joe wants him to do well. When he does well, the Bucs do well. [read more]
