Tampa Bay’s 3-headed monster can’t get out of its own way. [read more]
Status uncertain for Bucs.
Joe is in no way celebrating injuries. But damn in the NFL if you can’t take advantage of opponents’ injuries, you are likely the Jets. [read more]
Bucco Bruce Arians used to be running backs coach for the Chiefs back in the late 1980s and early ’90s. [read more]
Lack of targets explained.
Joe has had a lot of readers ask since the start of yesterday’s game why the Bucs are not throwing to foot-rubbing Rob Gronkowski? And why they are not throwing to O.J. Howard? And where the hell is Cam Brate? [read more]
Bucco Bruce Arians delivered the great news moments ago.
Chris Godwin, who missed yesterday’s game, is out of the NFL concussion protocol and is cleared to play. Hallelujah!!
Obviously, Joe has written plenty about yesterday’s glorious Buccaneers home victory.
But here are additional nuggets, including a loaf alert, after Joe’s second look (before Joe’s third look). [read more]
Gets props.
At times yesterday, Joe got many Twitters asking who the hell is Cyril Grayson and what gave him the right to step onto the same grass that Mike Evans uses for work? [read more]
Light load
The Buccaneers’ Sunday snap counts are in and they are thought-provoking. [read more]
Sneaky speed.
Who said a big guy like Leonard Fournette cannot kill a defense with speed? [read more]

Still ticking.
Joe couldn’t believe it, but a very ugly narrative about park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring Bucs quarterback Tom Brady was picking up steam last week. [read more]
Humbled.
Joe’s neighborhood has houses spaced out enough that with air conditioning running, one can holler and likely not be heard by the neighbors. [read more]

What, you thought this was going to be easy?
You’re a Buccaneer fan — the Bucs don’t do easy. At halftime, this one looked like a romp for the home team. By the fourth quarter, the outcome was very much in doubt.
That’s life in the NFL, but the important part is Tampa Bay now carries credible momentum into Denver. Despite some hiccups, the defense got the job done while Leonard Fournette earned more touches by applying the dynamic finishing touch. [read more]
Embarrassing moment
So let Joe get this straight.
Bucs fans get shut out of a home game they yearned to see, but Brett Favre gets to enter the stadium seats for a close look at the Bucs? [read more]
Future Hall of Fame tight end Rob Gronkowski has 11 yards receiving in two Bucs games.
Yes, he’s healthy.
Joe’s trying to find a silver lining. [read more]
Heads-up play.
Joe is guessing a lot of folks were peeved this wasn’t a touchdown pass. In retrospect, it was one of the most important catches of the game. [read more]
Implosion alert
A quick look at what happened around the National Football League is making Joe wonder whose soul might have been sold to some guy in a red suit. [read more]
What a freakin’ all-around performance for Antoine Winfield, Jr.
After two games, the only new starter on the Bucs defense looks exactly like the plug-and-play stud safety Bucs fans dreamed of on Day 2 of the NFL Draft. [read more]
Toasting Ndamukong Suh.
Through two games, the reigning NFL sack king has been shut out on sacks. Like a decent defense should, others have picked up the slack. [read more]
Huge pick.
This game should have been packed away in the third quarter. Instead, shockingly, the Bucs let the Stinking Panthers back in the game and it was starting to get nail-biting close. [read more]
