Can Winston succeed behind a broken line?

December 1, 2017 general

Thursday, 3 a.m. He has been injured. For the recrafted offensive line of the Tampa Bay Bucs, the chore is to keep Jameis Winston from being hurt again. Winston, the third-year Bucs’ quarterback, has missed three games with a shoulder injury. Against the Packers, Winston will play without right tackle Demar Dotson or center Ali […]

Winston back, but his offensive line is rebuilt

November 30, 2017 general

Thursday, 2 a.m. When quarterback Jameis Winston returns to the field Sunday, he might not recognize all the faces in his huddle. Gone is center Ali Marpet (injured). Gone is tackle Demar Dotson (injured). Gone is tight end Luke Stocker (released). Gone may be running back Doug Martin (concussion). And so it goes. The NFL […]

Looking back at the Bucs’ loss to the Falcons

November 28, 2017 general

Tuesday, 3 a.m. 5 Observations 1. A lot of the problems with this year’s Bucs, frankly, are because of  last year’s Bucs. At least, the parts that fooled the bosses. Looking at the way the defense closed in the second half of last year, I think the Bucs believed they were in better shape. The […]

Bucs go for it, and fail, in loss to Falcons

November 27, 2017 general

Monday, 3 a.m. The statistics say it shouldn’t have been close. Logic tells you it shouldn’t have come down to a single play. Basic eyesight tells you it shouldn’t have depended on one decision and one throw. And yet, there they were. With 7:05 to play, the Tampa Bay Bucs still had a puncher’s chance […]

Looking back at the Bucs’ win over Miami

November 21, 2017 general

5 Observations 1. When Thanksgiving arrives this week, a good Bucs fan should thank everyone in heaven for Jay Cutler. If Matt Moore plays the whole game the way he did in the second half, it wouldn’t have been pretty. Bucs’ defensive backs kept getting lost as if Moore was the Southern version of Case […]

Fitz hopes to improve in his second start

November 17, 2017 general

Friday, 1 a.m. In the career of Ryan Fitzpatrick, there have been a lot of “next weeks.” But in this particular next week, Fitzpatrick expects to be better. He won his first game as a Buc Sunday. That wasn’t bad. But this time, against the Dolphins on Sunday, Fitzpatrick hopes to be a better quarterback. […]

Fitzpatrick was signed to win a game like Sunday’s

November 10, 2017 general

Friday, 3 a.m. For all of the noise that arrived with him, this is why he is here. To win a game. To keep the car out of the ditch. To keep a losing streak from eating a franchise alive. Ryan Fitzpatrick was never going to beat out Jameis Winston for the starting job. He […]

Is this the lowest point in Winston’s career?

November 9, 2017 general

Thursday, 3 a.m. It is a dark time in the career of Jameis Winston, quarterback. It’s late, it’s ugly and his night light is broken. He is hurt, a shoulder sprain that will keep him out two weeks. He is losing, five in a row and counting. He is not playing well; his quarterback rating […]

Were we wrong for believing in the Bucs?

October 25, 2017 general

Wednesday, 3 a.m. They fooled us. Shame on them. Foolishly, we thought there was something different about these Bucs, something better, something closer to the playoffs. We thought they were better on defense, dangerous on offense, solid in the kicking game. Shame on us. The players were more familiar, largely because of Hard Knocks, and […]
