If you thought Bruce Arians would have his team ready to come out of the gate fast following a bye last week, what have you been watching? As I suspected, the Bucs looked flat early against the Vikings on Sunday, going three-and-out on the first two offensive possessions of the game. However, thanks to four missed field goals, a missed extra point and downright putrid play from Kirk Cousins late…

(Jason Behnken/AP) The Bucs are in trouble. There’s no way avoiding that fact after Tampa Bay lost 27-24 to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. The loss dropped the Buccaneers to 7-5 on a weekend where the Saints, Packers and Seahawks all made cases to be considered the best team in the NFC as we head into December. This was the second loss in a row for Bruce Arians, Brady…

AP Photo Another week, another win that wasn’t pretty for Brady and the Bucs. As we’ve all learned over the years though, they don’t ask how, just how many. Right now, Brady and his Buccaneers are a seven-win team and just barely behind Green Bay (7-2) and New Orleans (7-2) for the top spot in the NFC playoff standings. “It’s not a game of perfect,” Brady said following the win….

Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports Tom 6, Bill 2. It’s obviously not that simple, but as it stands after Monday night’s 25-23 win for the Buccaneers, Brady is winning the first round of the “was it the coach or quarterback?” argument that will last for decades. Brady technically needed a non-pass interference call to get to 6-2 on the year, but the Bucs are now second in the NFC, just behind…

AP Photo/David Becker This looked familiar. If you were smart enough to flip over to Red Zone or find the Buccaneers-Raiders game during the abysmal Patriots game on Sunday, then you saw Tom Brady looking as good as ever with a vintage performance. The Bucs moved to 5-2 with a dominant 45-20 win and it appears like things are truly starting to click this time. Penalties have been down, the…

The roller coaster that is the 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season was back up on Sunday. After reaching arguably its lowest point of the season following an ugly Thursday night loss to the Bears, the Bucs continued their up-and-down year with an impressive 38-10 win over the previously unbeaten Packers. This one was more about the Tampa defense forcing Green Bay to flat out quit more than anything Brady or…

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports It still doesn’t look right, but Tom Brady and the Buccaneers are 2-1. Brady went in to what is usually a house of horrors for him and had a good day to help get the Bucs a 28-10 win over the Broncos. We all know how it’s usually looked when he went to Denver in his career, so this was probably a nice little mental hurdle…

1. First, Happy Fathers Day to all the dad’s out there. Moms are the glue that keeps a household together. Dads are the foundation. 2. I have to admit, it stung seeing Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski in Buccaneers uniforms. It wasn’t suppose to end this way but thus is life in pro sports.
