Notes after a second look

The Bucs hammered the Falcons yesterday and, like many fans, Joe takes a deep second look after each game (before a third look).

A few observations in no particular order: [read more]

Dangerous men.

Are Vita Vea and Ndamukong Suh as good as Warren Sapp and Booger McFarland? [read more]

Stingy.

Think Bucs defensive coordinator Todd Bowles hasn’t made a difference? [read more]

Climbing the charts.

This is just wild to Joe. [read more]

Award-winning season?

This may not sound so ridiculous for a guy on pace for 76 touchdown passes. [read more]

Carlton Davis

So the scary news late last week was Bucs No. 1 cornerback Carlton Davis showing up on Friday and Saturday’s injury report with a bad hamstring. [read more]

Joe is trying to shake off the fog of many celebratory Big Storm Brewing beers from last night as we all bask in the glory of Victory Monday. So let’s attack today like Ndamukong Suh attacks quarterbacks. [read more]

“Heavy” specialist was busy

Joe was ranting about the inevitable Josh Wells return against the Falcons on the Ira Kaufman Podcast last week and indeed he showed up. [read more]

BY IRA KAUFMAN

Mike Edwards had himself a day — and the Bucs needed every bit of it to subdue the pesky Atlanta Falcons. [read more]

Ugly day for a slimy Saints team

What a doubleheader! [read more]

Joe was looking at Rob Gronkowski’s career games and his thunderous 2021 start is his best since 2015. [read more]

“Ballhawk”

While appearing on the Buccaneers Radio Network after the Bucs’ 48-25 win over the Dixie Chicks, Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians said of safety Mike Edwards, “He’s a ballhawk.” [read more]

Brought pressure.

There is no question the Bucs shut down the Dixie Chicks offense in the fourth quarter. But before that, Atlanta was moving the ball with too much ease. [read more]

Slammed door on Atlanta.

Look, there are a lot of people who diss Matty Ice for some reason. Joe never understood this unless it is the fantasy football crowd. [read more]

Yes, the Bucs were vicitimized today by a horrendous offsides call on Shaq Barrett, but outside of that, Tampa Bay was flagged eight times for 78 yards. [read more]

Party time with Bucs weapons.

Joe just had to laugh at the Bucs ringing up 48 points today. Especially with the Bucs’ offense scoring over 30 (again). [read more]

Byron Leftwich and Tom Brady

The Bucs are riding a 10-game winning streak, but Joe has to nitpick a little. [read more]

Record holder.

[UPDATE: 7:50 p.m.] If you are tied with Ronde Barber for a Bucs franchise record, you are doing something right. [read more]

Joe sure hopes everyone is enjoying the historic nature of all things Tom Brady. [read more]

That’s 10 in a row!!

Man, Bucs fans have gotten spoiled. Lots of whining and crying early this afternoon because the Bucs didn’t put the Falcons away before halftime. [read more]

4:05 kickoff

This is where you chat all season long with fellow fans and a few haters.

Be nice. Be respectful, unless you’re barking about zebras or Falcons.

Go Bucs!
