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 ReportJameis Winston threw away the Bucs’ opportunity to improve over .500 and left his team looking for answers for today and the future of the franchise.

Photo Credit: Cliff Welch / Pewter ReportThe Bucs and Bengals meet in a crossroad game for both teams. Can the Bucs get over .500 once again, or will they face the prospect of another 3-5 start under Dirk Koetter?
