Tampa Bay Buccaneers Discussion Forum

<r>BY IRA KAUFMAN It’s that time again. Let’s talk about the Buc running game. Sorry to spoil your appetite. It’s a sore subject with Buc Nation — and it should be. For each of the past two seasons, no NFL […] The post <URL url="https://www.joebucsfan.com/2024/05/an-important-red-zone-review/"><s>[u...

<r>Quite a revealing one-liner today from head coach Todd Bowles. Perhaps Bowles’ mind, for a moment, was more on his new knee than on corporate coachspeak. It was revealed weeks ago that the Bucs are preparing for a new Vita […] The post <URL url="https://www.joebucsfan.com/2024/05/hes-finally-taki...

<r>So in addition to a new Vita Vea, it seems Todd Bowles is seeing a new Chris Godwin. Joe admires how committed so many Buccaneers are to greatness. Perhaps this is more of The Tom Brady Effect? Perhaps it’s stud […] The post <URL url="https://www.joebucsfan.com/2024/05/he-looks-a-lot-quicker-a-lo...

<r>Buccaneers All-World left tackle Tristan Wirfs is not attending OTAs this spring until things change. That’s the word from Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, via his X account. Fowler said Wirfs doesn’t want to risk injury as he negotiates a contract […] The post <URL url="https://www.joebucsfan.com/2024/05/...

<r>Good thing the Bucs kept Bucco Bruce Arians’ famous golf cart. Bucs coach Todd Bowles underwent knee replacement surgery last week yet that can’t keep him away from Bucs OTAs and off the practice fields behind One Buc Palace. Though […] The post <URL url="https://www.joebucsfan.com/2024/05/todd-b...

<r>Underwear football was in full swing at a toasty Bucs practice Tuesday morning. No, no Tristan Wirfs. Joe doesn’t blame him. He witnessed first-hand what happened to Ryan Jensen two years ago. And it’s not like Wirfs, who is at […] The post <URL url="https://www.joebucsfan.com/2024/05/practice-no...

<r>Joe always pays a little extra attention when Tampa native (Alonso High) and eight-year NFL vet Leger Douzable, who played for Todd Bowles with the Jets, is talking Bucs football. Douzable is a growing voice on CBS Sports and SiriusXM […] The post <URL url="https://www.joebucsfan.com/2024/05/that...

<r>So the NFL’s highest paid defensive back made a visit to SiriusXM NFL Radio yesterday. Safety Antoine Winfield Jr. has been patrolling the Bucs’ defensive backfield for four years, including his temporary (failed?) stint at nickel back during the 2022 […] The post <URL url="https://www.joebucsfan...

<r>It’s basically become a copy/paste excuse line. Joe has seen so many analysts this month typing about the Bucs that using the same narrative so often Joe is tired of reading it. And it’s not yet June. “The Bucs did […] The post <URL url="https://www.joebucsfan.com/2024/05/the-shaq-barrett-devin-w...

<r>Could the Bucs be knotted in another close division race? It’s possible. And it seems NFL.com is all but bracing for such an ending to the 2024 regular season. Last year the Bucs didn’t take care of business against the […] The post <URL url="https://www.joebucsfan.com/2024/05/closing-the-season/...
