The Good, Bad, & Ugly – Bucs vs. Bears

by Erik Sabol on October 25, 2011

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 …

Bucs vs. Vikings – Week 2 Matchups

by James LoPresti on September 17, 2011

Last Sunday’s game against Detroit was disappointing. Not because I predicted the Lions to win and they did, but disappointing that Tampa Bay wasn’t able to put up much of a fight. The 27-20 Lions victory was not as close as the score would indicate. Tampa was bullied up front and quarterback Matthew Stafford was …

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have brought back recently released DE George Johnson, signing him to the practice squad. To make room for Johnson the team has released 2011 7th round draft pick TE Daniel Hardy from the practice squad.

Bucs vs. Patriots – Positional Battles To Watch

by James LoPresti on August 16, 2011

There is a lot to like about the preseason. Some people love finally being able to watch the starters in action. Some enjoy seeing which draft picks make a name for themselves. Others use the preseason as a way to gauge their fantasy football prospects. Or you’re like me: thrilled to have something other than …

The Good, Bad, & The Ugly

by Erik Sabol on August 13, 2011

THE GOOD Josh Johnson exists somewhere in that gray area between first and second string.  He struggled as a starter in 2009—throwing to Michael Clayton and a gimpy Antonio Bryant—and didn’t do much to dissuade Josh Freeman’s ascendancy, but in the preseason, he’s been an athletic, reckless, yardage-eating dynamo.  The Chiefs didn’t have an answer; …

by Staff Report on August 3, 2011

Even though the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are currently looking for a running back to step up and be the teams third down back, a spot vacated by Carnell Williams, who’s close to signing a deal with the St. Louis Rams. Don’t look for the team to carry two true fullbacks with the versatility of both …

Graham Is Bucs Insurance Policy On Third Down

by Roland Johnson on August 1, 2011

Seventh year running back Earnest Graham, who holds the franchise record for receptions in a single game with 13 is the front runner to replace Carnell Williams as the team third down back at the moment. Offensive coordinator Greg Olson wants to work Kregg Lumpkin, who’s been in the offense for a full year, into …

With news spreading throughout poorly light back allies and smoke filled pool halls that the hopelessness fans are experiencing since the decertification of the NFLPA and the lack of talks between the NFL. Could continue down a slippery slop. As word trickling out from the inner circle, is the league has setup a new stumbling …
