If you have turned on a radio, watched local news or ESPN, or read a newspaper recently,—yes, some people still do that—then you have undoubtedly seen the news of the Buccaneers latest head coaching hire, Greg Schiano. College football fans might remember his Rutgers team as the one continually ripping away the Big East title …

So ends the season, one of the most disappointing in team history. THE GOOD It’s over. It’s blessedly, mercifully over. Ten straight losses, five straight blowouts, and the end of a sixteen week torture session. Rejoice fans, you get a whole eight months without having to watch Jeremy Trueblood whiff on blocks, Kellen Winslow draw …
The Good General manager Mark Dominik has absolutely nailed some rookie acquisitions over the last couple seasons. Mike Williams in the fourth round has already paid for itself; ditto Preston Parker. Undrafted running back LeGarrette Blount is on his way to being one of the greatest Buccaneer runners ever, and Cody Grimm is proving to …
Blain Gabbert? Jarett Dillard? A 41-14 loss to the Jaguars? Really? The Good It took 13 games, 12 plays, and a fourth down conversion, but the Buccaneers finally recorded a first quarter offensive touchdown. Greg Olson’s fourth down call — a playaction option bootleg — was what Tampa fans have been screaming for all season; …
It’s official. The Buccaneers are the worst team in the division, and after a 38-19 blowout loss to the Panthers, they might be the worst team in the conference. They’re losers of six straight, and outside of a few flashes of competence, are a shell of the near-playoff team we saw a year ago. The …
No excuses. The Titans aren’t the Packers. They aren’t the Saints, or the Texans, or the 49ers. They’re not a Super Bowl contender, an elite offense, or a stifling defense. They’re a team with problems: no offensive playmakers, an underachieving defense, and a crippling inconsistency that threatens their chances at the division crown. They are, …
It wasn’t a game they were supposed to win. And pundits relax – they didn’t. The Buccaneers fell 35-26 to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay machine, but Tampa left Lambeau with more than a tally in the loss column; they played with more confidence and passion than they had all year, and delivered a …
I think, someday soon, we need to agree upon a definition for the term “draft bust.” There needs to be some accepted criteria, because as it stands, it has no meaning. It’s synonymous with some of the biggest flops in NFL history (as it should be), but is also used to categorize successful players who …
It’s getting ridiculous. All of it. The interceptions, the dropped passes, the offensive predictability… One week, the Buccaneers need a 17-point comeback to overtake the 1-6 Vikings; the next, they’re smashing the Saints and breaking Sean Payton’s legs. They have no identity. The team exists somewhere in between the 48-3 West Coast beatdown and the …
BEARS: Play at Wembley for 1st time since American Bowl on 8/3/86. Head coach Lovie Smith was LB coach for TB from 1996-2000…QB Jay Culter won only career start vs. TB (10/5/08 w/ Den.). In career (incl. playoffs), when he has 100+ rating, his teams are 24-0…RB Matt Forte leads NFL with 908 scrimmage yards …
