As I stood there Sunday afternoon in the south endzone, watching the clock hit all zeros and looking at the jumbo scoreboard in Raymond James Stadium read “Redskins 16 Buccaneers 3”, I couldn’t help but ponder… Why do I do this to myself week in and week out, year after year? Why do I spend …Read More
Well Bucs fans, last week was heartbreaking. A “must win” division road game in Carolina started out as a rout with a 35-7 halftme lead by the Panthers. As usual Tampa’s defense clamped down and the offense ramped up, which helped them close to within 7 points in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, the defense couldn’t …Read More
Photo Credit: BucPower.comSo the Bucs lost their must-win game last week. Does that mean this week is a must-must win? Or has the ship pretty much sailed and at this point we’re awaiting the inevitable disappointing conclusion to this season? Whatever the case may be, it’s football in November and you gotta love it. Maybe they’ll surprise …Read More
“So what do you think about your team’s execution?” “I’m in favor of it.” That immortal quote from the Bucs first head coach John McKay lives in infamy in Buccaneers folklore and unfortunately it still has relevance over 40 years later. This “team” is horrible. I mean what else can you say about them? They …Read More
Another week down and another Buccaneers loss. The Bengals jumped out to a 27-9 halftime lead after two first half interceptions by Jameis Winston.

Let me preface this article by saying that I have ALWAYS been a Jameis Winston fan. I have been on board the “Jameis Train” since Tampa Bay drafted him #1 overall in the 2015 Draft. I’ve been defending him all year concerning that bogus Uber incident. I’ve been convinced that he is a franchise quarterback and …Read More
Photo Credit: Cliff Welch / Pewter ReportBucs kicker Chandler Catanzaro literally went from zero to hero last week against the Cleveland Browns. After missing the extra point on their first touchdown of the game, his third missed extra point of this season, he also missed a 40-yard field goal in the closing seconds of regulation that would’ve won the game. He …Read More
So Week 7 is in the books and the Buccaneers were able to beat the Cleveland Browns with a 59-yard field goal with about two-minutes left in overtime to get to an even 3-3 record on the season. My “Playaz 2 Watch” from that game were running back Duke Johnson on offense and defensive end …Read More
Photo Credit: Buccaneers.comThe Bucs look to make it two in a row against the state of Ohio as they face off against the Cincinnati Bengals. Looking at the statistics would make you think these two teams are mirror images of each other. Can Tampa Bay get a big road win or will they return to their losing …Read More
