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 get stomped by Panthers.

This is why I tell everyone not to get too far ahead of themselves when they talk about the Bucs and the playoffs. Carolina came out mean and aggressive at home as they set out to try to win out and the Bucs were the first opponent to feel the wrath of what this team [...]

Bucs talk. Sapp, Kiffin and Tennessee.

The Bucs have just rolled right along this year with the usual mess of distractions to a 9-3 record. As we head into the biggest game of the year on Monday Night Football, a couple other things have popped up. First let’s get to the Monte Kiffin to Tennessee rumor. I don’t think it’s a [...]

Jon Gruden ISN’T great!

   Let’s not get too excited about the victory the Bucs got yesterday in Detroit. They obviously fell behind quick and that was enough to bash them. But I’m not gonna harp on that. It’s time for people to stop defending Jon Gruden for his shortcomings. The Bucs got out of Detroit with a 38-20 [...]

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 [...]

Day 2 of the draft.

   Well day two is done and the Bucs made some trades on both days to acquire more picks. Nothing very significantcame of the trades and the draft went along fairly quick and smooth. Today’s picks were…

   3rd round: OG Jeramy Zuttah, Rutgers
   4th round: DT Dre Moore, Maryland
   5th round: QB Josh Johnson, San [...]
