To all those people who want to fire Jon Gruden

Look around the collective intelligence of Tampa sports show hosts and particular message board posters (total IQ, less than Jeff’s passer rating), and you will see that they all want Jon Gruden fired at the end of this season. Poor offense, no run defense, no pass rush, high price of…

The Buccaneers’ Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

We’ve been really good this year and only want a few things for Christmas…

A 100 YARD RUSHING GAME
Since Earnest Graham got banged up and went on IR for the season the Bucs have not had a 100 yard rushing game. Despite impressive performances,…

Why all the local hate for Jon Gruden?

It seems to be a pre-requisite for working on Tampa sports radio, to really have it in for the Bucs’ head coach. And if you look round some of the Buc-based message board, opinion seeems to be split between loving and totally hating the man who has won more games…

Run defense in Carolina was just an aberration

Some of the message boards around the Buccaneer community have been professing doom and gloom this week since the Monday Night loss in Carolina. And if you think it was bad watching it on Monday night, it finished here in the UK at 5am so moving the game time of…

The Buccaneer fans in England and what the game will mean next year

2009 will be the 25th anniversary of the Bucs UK Booster Club and it will be an incredible way to reach that milestone. All 300 members of…

Comparing the Lions to the old-school Buccaneers

Much has been made the past week about the current state of the 2008 Detroit Lions and their seemingly unstoppable slide towards a winless season. And naturally since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the last team to pull off the feat in 1976, many comparisons have been made to that…

Bucs over the Lions - the view from across the pond

Did someone not tell the Bucs it was 1pm kickoff? Or perhaps Rod Marinelli had a cunning plan to lock some of the key players in their dressing rooms to enable the Lions to jump out to an early lead.

But just like all of Wile E.Coyote’s dastardly plans, Road…

Week 12 - Bucs at Lions

The 7-3 Bucs travel to the 0-10 Lions. That prefix is going to stay with Detroit until they win a game this season and the 1976 Bucs are going to get mentioned more and more in stories around the NFL. As I am friends with many of that team, I…

10 unknown facts about John Lynch

In mock tribute to the finest retirement speech that I have ever heard, time for a statistical look back at the 11-year Buccaneer career that the legend had in the No.47 jersey.

John has the highest per carry average of any runner in franchise history. He had a 40-yard carry…
