Who’s to blame for the Bucs choke job and what do we do next?

Well, it was as ugly as it could possibly be. Not only did they drop the final four games of the season and miss the playoffs, but they did it in old school orange Buccaneer fashion. I think we all took the Carolina loss fairly well, it was on the road against a tough team [...]

Bucs injuries piling up, but let’s not make excuses.

The list continues to grow for Buccaneers players in the rehab center. Jon Gruden came out and talked about it today.  They now have at least 10 players I could count on the weekly injury list..

Michael Clayton
Brian Griese
Jeff Garcia
Jovan Haye
Chris Hovan
Greg White (oops, I mean Stylez G. White)
Sean Mahan
Jeremy Zuttah
Joey Galloway (not officially listed but [...]

Bucs still look solid but….

   The Bucs took their unbeaten home streak to six with a 23-20 victory against the Saints on Sunday but there’s still some uncertainty revolving around the team. It was a great showing of the defense, again, against the league’s best offense that featured some great play from the secondary. Ronde Barber apparently took the early [...]

Bucs Graham and Hayes hit IR.

   In not so surprising news today the Bucs placed RB Earnest Graham and LB Geno Hayes on injured reserve and they will be gone for the rest of the season. Graham hurt his ankle in the first quarter of the Viking game and coach Jon Gruden immediately speculated that he was gone for the year. [...]

The Bucs looked good against Minnesota.

   I had to work Sunday so I didn’t get to look at the whole game until last night. Man did the Bucs look good this week though. The Bucs couldn’t get a good running game going after Earnest Graham went down with an ankle injury after one carry, and apparently this injury may end his [...]

Wrapping up the Bucs first half.

   The Bucs have finished the first half of their season 5-3 with a 4-0 home record and there are still a ton of questions hovering over them. The first half was riddled with typical Gruden drama, questionable play calling and player personnel decisions along with the typical “D” we’ve gotten so used to seeing. Some [...]

Graham gets his money.

   Finally some good news out of the Bucs camp. Earnest Graham got the money he wanted and will not be holding out. First report of the deal from Rick Stroud show the deal to be a four year $11 million deal. This news actually excites me! I’ve been a fan of Graham’s since his UF [...]

Catching up with the Bucs.

   It was a fairly active week with the Bucs as far as off-season stuff goes and there were some things that you may have missed that you need to check out. The Bucs had their annual Fanfest over the weekend and there were some things brought up there that are worth noting also. Let’s [...]

Bucs re-sign Haye, lose Spires.

   Finally got some Bucs news for the football junkies.

   Veteran DE Greg Spires who we all remember abusing the Raiders in the Super Bowl season has left the Bucs to sign with…. you guessed it, the Raiders. Spires signed a one year contract after being released by the Bucs this off-season. Spires was never [...]
