Down a Chiclet

And the postgame quote of the afternoon goes to Bucco Bruce Arians.

When asked about Vita Vea getting a tooth knocked out in the heroic comeback win in Indianapolis, Arians replied, “I don’t care. He’s got 30 other ones.”

Arians went on to say losing a tooth in a football game “ain’t nothing.”

Monster play.

Joe has hammered this guy a lot, not personally, but his play. So when this dude made a play to seal a hard-fought, critical road win this afternoon, Joe happily must give the guy props. [read more]

For the second consecutive game, Rob Gronkowski has been dragging tacklers and looking like a complete handful.

It’s been a no-fluke flashback to his Hall of Fame days in New England. [read more]

Major, major tackle.

If the Bucs play in the Super Bowl in February — and Joe is driving that bandwagon after watching today’s come-from-behind win on the road — the Play of the Year for the Bucs is likely still to come. [read more]

At the end of the day, sacks matter a lot more than pressures, hurries, farts near the quarterback or any other stat assigned to pass rushers. [read more]

Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians.

The Bucs were hanging on by a thread. [read more]

Our beloved Bucs just about neutered the best running back in the league today until late in the fourth quarter.

Heck, Jonathan Taylor was the second best running back on the field. [read more]

Winning!

All hail Playoff Lenny! [read more]

Third-string guard Nick Leverett rose to the occasion.

Undrafted out of Rice University last year, today was the first real regular-season offensive line action for third-stringer Nick Leverett.

And damn did he deliver in brutally hostile conditions. [read more]

“Here come the Bucs!”

What a ballsy win. [read more]

What a heroic freakin’ comeback win against a sizzling hot team in a sold out, loud-as-hell dome.

It was a “W” that champions are made of. Wow!

The Bucs survived three key in-game injuries to march their record to 8-3

Ya Gotta Believe! [read more]

Big day ahead for Devin White

Comment all through this huuuuuge game with fellow Bucs fans and the inevitable hater.

Go Bucs! An 8-3 record is 60 minutes of football away.
