Finally Raheem Does Something I Like

Seattle_seahawks_v_5b6b
Profootballtalk.com is reporting that Raheem Morris has been fined 20k for his “expletive filled tirade” against officials during Sunday’s game after Michael Clayton’s catch/no-catch. “You know I got fined,” Morris said. “I got fined and I...

“Controversial?”

This piece was written by the Pewter Planks’ best writer, Daniel Edwards.  Only problem with Dan is he writes 3 articles a year.  Enjoy. The Good Connor Barth: Apparently this Connor kid is pretty good.  Barth went 3 for 3 on FGA from 50+ yards (tying the NFL record for most...

Let’s Keep It Going

For the first time in almost a year the Bucs have a chance to put a win streak together.  It won’t be an easy task as they take on the Wildcat heavy offense of the Miami Dolphins.  The Bucs showed last week that they still have a lot of fight left in them.  The key to [...]

Can We Win Two Straight?

While I want to have high hopes for this Sundays road game in Miami, my naysayer side keeps popping up on shoulder and slapping me in the face.  I want to think we can win multiple games in a row, I want to think that Josh Freeman is the answer (****, I even picked him [...]

About Time!

The Buccaneers picked up their first win of the season yesterday, downing the Green Bay Packers 38 to 28.  On a day that was originally dominated by our throwback jerseys, and the induction of Lee Roy Selmon into the Buccaneers ring of honor, the talk today is all bout rookie Josh...

It’s Time For The Bucs To Show Some Fight

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...

Did Raheem and Talib Throw Blows?

Being as though I’m not a member of the “real” media, I can put up speculation and rumors on this site without any repercussions.  For the most part though, I tend not to do that.  For one, although I’m not a member of the “real” media, I like...

The Disaster Continues

Tampa_bay_buccaneers_7ee1
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 New Office Centerpiece

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 [...]

Josh Freeman To Start For Bucs

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. “Josh Freeman will take over as...

Will The Bye Week Bring Any Changes

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 [...]

Hello England

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...

Can London Break The Streak

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...

Situation Is Becoming Ideal For The Next Coach

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...

Is 0-16 A Possibility?

First of all, I’m very sorry for the delay in posts.  I had a very long 6 day Vegas vacation, came back to Tampa for 20 hours then flew to Chicago for work.  I’m finally finding my first non drunken free time to sit down and give you guys some thoughts on the game and [...]

My Wish List For Sunday’s Game

After an 0-4 start, it’s time to regroup and start looking for positive reasons to watch this team every Sunday.   This is a rebuilding year after all, so let’s start looking for some things we can build on.  I don’t expect the Bucs to win this weekend, but I...

Thoughts From Bucs Fans

None of the following are views necessarily expressed by the Pewter Plank, but they aren’t necessarily views that we disagree with.  I’ve spent a lot of time criticizing the majority of Bucs fans, and I’ve spent a lot of time criticizing the coaching staff, now,...

Buccaneers Week 4 Analysis

Gettyimageproxy
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. Josh Johnson, before having some success running the ball...

Raheem Morris Continues The Blame Game

In what is becoming commonplace for a coach who has yet to prove a lick in the NFL, Raheem Morris is continuing to call out his players, and point the fingers at everyone but him or his staff. Speaking on the Oline vs the Giants… “We got outplayed physically,” Morris...

Is This Week Our Best Shot At A Win?

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 [...]

Who Does This Guy Think He Is?

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...

You Got What You Asked For

Before I give you a lengthy rambling diatribe, I wanted to start out with a few quotes from the interwebs and radio airwaves about the Bucs performance yesterday. Gary Shelton – Three games in, and the Bucs are winless. And helpless. And hopeless. And clueless. Colin Cowherd...

Pewter Planks’ Week 3 Picks

This will now be a weekly column that I do on the PewterPlank before I read the all too influential Bill Simmons! Cleveland @ Baltimore While divisional games normally yield closer results than some might think (see Oak, SD week 1 as well as Buffalo, NE week 1), the Browns are inept...
