What’s the German word for an ass-kicking?

Somewhere during their 5,000-mile journey to Munich the Bucs grew a pair. They beat the sauerbraten out of the Seahawks up front and that was the difference in a 21-16 triumph that evened Tampa Bay at 5-5 before the bye.

Tampa Bay’s offensive priority was to establish a credible ground game. Mission accomplished.

The focus for Todd Bowles on defense? Contain impressive rookie back Kenneth Walker. Mission accomplished.

Pete Carroll’s teams are traditionally known for their physicality, but Seattle was bullied on foreign soil. Don’t be fooled by the final margin — the Bucs were the better team by far. [read more]

Look who officially sits last in the NFC South.

It’s a beautiful thing. [read more]

Fans heard today on the NFL Network broadcast the sad news of Buccaneers savior linebacker Devin White’s father passing away on Thursday. He was only 45 years old. [read more]

Now that the Bucs are good again, and they’re entering a bye week to smooth out the edges and get healthy, there’s no reason the Bucs can’t beat a hefty chunk of the teams in front of them.

They are as follows: [read more]

Huge day for Rachaad White!

What a beatdown “W” by the Bucs. Domination like the good ol’ days. The running game returned and, whaddya know, so did the play-action attack.

And the defense looked like it did early in the season: downright smothering. [read more]

Here we go!

The Bucs are playing for a massive “W” in Germany with Pro Bowl safety Antoine Winfield back in the lineup. Joe’s got dreams bigger than limping to the NFC South crown. Let’s go!
