Can Bucs withstand Atlanta’s passing attack?

October 12, 2018 general

Friday, 1 a.m. I know. Let’s do something for the quarterbacks! Why, just last month, someone made a tackle. Someone else forced a fumble. I know. Let’s pass a few more rules. We’ll legalize holding, and we won’t allow defensive backs to beat up receivers, and we’ll throw a flag if anyone gets within five […]

Pierre-Paul off a good start with Tampa Bay

October 11, 2018 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. Four. It doesn’t sound like a lot. Four. Heck, there were that many Beatles. That many seasons in a year. That many leaves on some clover That many Cartwrights (original issue). Four. Four is a start. Four is a solid month. Four is a full set of Horsemen. And in the case […]

Ranking the all-time Bucs by their positions

October 10, 2018 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. Around here, excellence may run fast. It does not, however, run deep. Frankly speaking, the Tampa Bay Bucs have had only a smattering of stars in its history. For every Brad Johnson there is a Josh Freeman. For every James Wilder, there is a Doug Martin. For every Jimmie Giles, there is […]

Fresh start: Winston re-enters the lineup against Falcons

October 9, 2018 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. The running game is in quicksand. A month into the season, and it’s going nowhere. For the most part, however, that’s staying the same. The secondary is running in circles. Four different teams have taken their turns shredding it. Still, while the playing time might be re-disbursed, that’s staying the same. The […]

October 8, 2018 general

Monday, 4 a.m. A horror show never changes. You watch it through your fingers. Your palms get sweaty. You brace for the next bloody scene. You prepare to scream. And so it goes with the secondary of the Tampa Bay Bucs. For a decade, they have been a nightmare. It doesn’t matter who plays. It […]

The Predictions: Could the Bucs lose to a bye week?

October 6, 2018 College Sports in Florida

Saturday, 3 a.m. This just in. The Bucs are a three-point underdog to “bye” this week. I’m not sure they can cover. Here’s the thing you fear about an open date. By its very description, the receivers are always open. Heck, think of this as the fifth open date that the cornerbacks have had all […]

Looking back on the Bucs’ loss to the Bears

October 2, 2018 general

Monday, 4 a.m. 5 Observations 1. Is this how Davey Crockett fans felt at the Alamo? Is this how the Cumberland groupies felt after Georgia Tech? Just that fast, and you can no longer feel the elation of holding off New Orleans or beating Philadelphia. This feels as bad as it ever has. It was […]

Bears clobber suddenly hapless Bucs

October 1, 2018 general

Monday, 4 a.m. You probably watched the game through your fingers, trying to endure the horror show that was the Tampa Bay Bucs. You watched as your head shook from side to side, as your eyes rolled.
