It was supposed to be a preview of what the 2017 Tampa Bay Buccaneers were going to be. If that’s it, then Bucs fans want a refund. In a rainy, pitiful performance against the Cleveland Browns, a team that lost 15 games last season, the Bucs basically crapped the bed in a 13-9  preseason week 3 …Read More

DLT’s Doubloons – Week 1 Pre-Season – Bucs vs. Bengals

August 12, 2017 J.C. De La Torre Review

A defense that couldn’t stop the run, an offense that couldn’t put it in the end zone and kicker who still can’t get it through the two big yellow things. Nope, it wasn’t pretty in the Buccaneers 23-12 whupping at the hands …Read More
