Welcome to Victory Monday! Been too long for Joe to type that. What a fun, cool game. Playoff hopes remain alive. Bucs fans, we have reasons to be thankful Thursday after watching that win. Fill your coffee mug up and let’s roll! [read more]

Mike Leach would approve.

The late college coach Mike Leach will be remembered for years for two things: his massive impact on innovating the passing game on all levels of football and his one-liners. [read more]

Still in it.

If the Bucs could play the tanking Giants and their third-string quarterback every week, this might be different. [read more]

The legendary Mike Evans streak is still in play.

Extending it to 11 years is hanging by a reasonably strong thread. [read more]

“Hey Todd, what’s that biscuit saying again?”

As Joe pointed out last week, the Bucs are on the cusp of wasting one of the best offenses in the NFL. [read more]

Sigh of relief.

Joe knows a lot of Bucs fans point to different uncomortable elements of Todd Bowles’ style of leading an NFL team. But for Joe, this is just about the worst. [read more]

So Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht was pounding his chest before today’s game, metaphorically speaking. [read more]

Another special, special day from the best rookie running back in the National Football League. [read more]

The Kancey Man can.

Eccellente!

How could anyone not suggest Baker Mayfield is one of the better quarterbacks in the league the way he played today? [read more]

Dominant.

Man, did the bye week do some good for Vita Vea. [read more]

Candid?

Joe had to do a double-take at halftime today. [read more]

It’s a blowout!

Joe is fired up. Today the Bucs did what good teams do. They crushed a weaker opponent. [read more]

The season is on the brink! At 4-6, the Bucs are in must-win territory starting at 1 o’clock against the Giants in New Jersey.

Comment all game long below. 

Be decent. Be respectful, unless the referees get out of control (again!).

And stick with Joe for plenty of postgame action right here.

Active today.

It’s official. All-World left tackle Tristan Wirfs will not play today against the Giants.

Wirfs sprained his knee two weeks ago and was questionable for the game.

Joining Wirfs on the bench are nickel cornerback Tykee Smith (knee), undrafted rookie cornerback Tyrek Funderburk, in addition to bottom-of-the-roster guys Jose Ramirez, Earnest Brown and Devin Culp.

Zyon McCollum (hamstring) is active. How much he might play is another story. If he’s ready to roll, then the Bucs will have their starting outside cornerbacks, McCollum and Jamel Dean, on the field together for the first time in more than a month.

Bring canned foods to help local food banks and/or a toy for a local child.

Bill Currie Ford, a mile north of the stadium on Dale Mabry Highway, is the place to watch the Bucs on Sunday.  The watch party runs from noon through the end of the game. Come anytime!!

Martin Gramatica will be there all day and Bill Currie Ford will feed you! Raffles and more.

Have you ever been rattled to your core? That happened to Joe a month ago. [read more]

Flash poll posted at 8:52 a.m. Poll closed at 10:15 a.m.
