Today’s game might not mean much in standings, but to a lot of people this game will be a true test of this teams character. One of the greatest Buccaneers of all time, Lee Roy Selmon, will be the first person inducted into the ring of honor at today’s game. Not only...

There has been plenty of talk about the fact that Raheem Morris may have lost his locker room weeks ago, but some recent comments and reports out of Buccaneers camp are truly alarming. It is being reported that in London, Aqib Talib missed curfew, and then when confronted by Raheem...

My friends over at CVSFlags.com sent me a Buccaneers flag this week to go into my office. I get solicited with these kinds of offers all the time from people wanting links up on our site, but rarely take them up because the product they are pushing is average at best.
The flag they sent me [...]

That didn’t take long. I speculated this morning that Josh Freeman would probably start against the Packers in Week 9, and now two hours later, after practice, Raheem “Romeo Crennell Face” Morris named Freeman the starter.

With the Bucs starting out the season 0-7 and entering into a bye week, one would think there could be some changes coming for the Bucs when we return to action in Week 9 vs the Green Bay Packers. The organization has high hopes for the game vs the Packers as we will induct [...]

I’m not sure if this is what the NFL had in mind when it decided to play football in Europe. A pathetic 0-6 team going up against a perennial power. This is like college football’s version of USC taking on Vanderbilt at a neutral site. It’s not exactly the type...

With the Bucs currently on a 10 game losing streak, you did read that right…10, I’m trying to lift the pessimistic nature that has overtaken me this season and look for ways the Bucs could pull out a victory tomorrow in London. Do I think we can win, definitely not, but...

With the Buccaneers now sitting at 0-6 and no end in sight to our losing, I have unfortunately started thinking about next season for the Bucs.
Raheem Morris, who barring success in his first season was going to enter his 2nd season as a lame duck coach anyway (only has a 2 year deal...

In what many people predicted would be the Buccaneers first win of the season, the Bucs fell again to the Redskins, 16-13 to fall to 0-4.
For the first time in 4 games, there were actually some positives to take from the game.

I hate to be this negative only 3 games into the season, but have you looked at the Bucs schedule lately? The only game we might be favored the rest of the season is the Carolina game at home. I know it’s early, but does this years Bucs team look any different than last years [...]

Raheem Morris made a few call outs of players yesterday that more than irked me. He has been shouldering the blame in that normal old coach speak in the post game press conferences, but he has a lot of audacity to call out his players, in public, on very specific plays. He hasn...

The Bucs followed up Week 1’s home loss to the Cowboys with an embarrassing 33 to 20 loss to the Bills @ Ralph Wilson Stadium yesterday. The same issues that plagued the team week 1 were not fixed in week 2 and some of the things that we actually did effectively in week 1 were [...]

The Bucs play one of their two 4pm games tommorow against the Bills. Both teams are coming off of week 1 loses, albeit quite different ones. The Bucs were dominated for 3 quarters against the Cowboys @ home last weekend while the Bills played a hell of a game until one turnover at the end [...]
