September 26, 2017 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. Five observations 1. The Bucs’ overworked Jameis Winston. I know he’s usually the quickest way to the end zone, but Tampa Bay doesn’t fare very well when he throws too much. In the games the Bucs have thrown 40 times or more, the Bucs are 0-6. 2. Think of all the bad […]

September 19, 2017 general

Five observations about the Bucs’ win over Chicago. 1. The run defense was superb.
