This will now be a weekly column that I do on the PewterPlank before I read the all too influential Bill Simmons!

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...

The Bucs defense ranks 31st in the NFL through 2 games. Watching the play on the field, somewhere around that number would have been my guess.

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 [...]

Hey Bucs fans. I’m a new blogger on this site, so I figured with my first post I would give you some motivation for the game today. I know everyone is a little down after last week, and to tell you the truth it might get worse this week, but let’s all take a deep [...]

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 [...]

For some reason I happened to miss this the other day, but as one of our readers has recently asked about the potential of Josh Johnson ever getting some first team run, I had to post these quotes up.

Buccaneers Make A Few Roster Moves

With Jeff Faine getting hurt in the first game of the season, the Buccaneers were forced to make a few roster moves late Monday.
The first was bringing back two time Buc and recently cut Sean Mahan. I would imagine that Mahan will be the main backup at center as rookie Jonathan Compas...

I must say for a little while yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised with the play on the field. It almost appeared for a quarter or so, that we would have a chance at winning the game. Too many mental errors, and some poor play from a couple different units and you end up with a [...]

Pittsburgh Steelers 10-6
The reigning Super Bowl Champions lost no players of consequence this summer. In fact, the progressions of their 2008 rookies and the return of every single starter sans Bryant McFadden should have them right back in the mix for the AFC Championship and...

New England Patriots 13-3
It’s hard not to choose the team that is consistently the best team in the league, especially coming off of a year where they lost the the MVP and still managed to go 11-5 with a backup who hadn’t played since high school. Tom Brady is back and the...

NFC South
New Orleans 12-4
Is this finally the year that the arm of Drew Brees can finally lead the Saints deep into the playoffs? The Saints real downfall last year though was certainly not the offense, it was the defense. I see no plausible way that the Saints defense doesn’t...

NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles 13-3
The addition of LT Jason Peters from the Bills as well as draft pick Lesean “Shady” McCoy, the Eagles should be one of the leagues’ premier offensive teams. I am not sold on their front 7 on defense, and the loss of Jim Johnson should hurt...

With the start of the regular season only 11 days away, the Buccaneers must play their final Preseason game on Friday night vs the Houston Texans. 22 players still have to get cut to meet the final 53 man roster requirements, and while this game may be boring for most non die-hard...

I made no bones on this website about my worries of taking an unpolished junior Quarterback who performed awfully against all the good competition he faced in college. I wasn’t sold before the draft, and after attending practices, attending one preseason game, and watching...

Once again, I was comletely unimpressed with the QB play vs the Miami Dolphins. Byron Leftwich, while obviously possessing a great arm as far as velocity is concerned, still shows a tendency to sail balls over receivers heads. He was 9/17 for 100 yards, and his preseason completion...

With the suspension of Tanard Jackson for the first 4 games of the season, the Buccaneers coaching staff was forced to make a decision on who would be taking his place in the Starting Lineup. They had a couple options at hand, one of which was just to plug backup safety Will Allen into the [...]

There are a few areas of our team that going into training camp I was quite concerned about from an injury/criminal/suspension standpoint. DB, WR, DL and QB are positions that we honestly could not afford to sustain injuries or suspensions at.
