Bucs fan since October 2011 after seeing them lose to the Bears in London. I live on the other side of the pond (the cold and wet side). Big fan of sports in general both US and UK. Favourite Bucs player: KWON!

Outside, Looking in: 2019 NFL International Games

December 16, 2018 Simon Alexander Features

The NFL have confirmed that the Bucs will feature in the 2019 NFL International Games. Unsurprisingly as the international representative of the WhatTheBuc crew, I’m excited! Very little information is out there at this moment other than what we already knew. There will be 4 games in London and one in Mexico and one of the …Read More

Outside, looking in: London NFL games and Winston drama

November 2, 2018 Simon Alexander Features

Well. Where to start? I’ve not been around as much lately as I’ve been soaking up some live football at the 2018 London NFL games. Each year I get far too excited about the prospect of sitting in the stadium and watching things play out live. What this does mean is that I’ve not been …Read More

Outside, looking in: Bears and choices

October 3, 2018 Simon Alexander Features

October 23rd, 2011. Wembley Stadium in London. The Bucs were ‘at home’ to the Chicago Bears in the NFL International Series. It was that day, almost 7 years ago, where despite us losing, I became a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. I’d been following the NFL for a while but had yet to choose a team. …Read More

Outside, looking in: Momentum

September 29, 2018 Simon Alexander Features

Monday Night Football, the eyes of the nation focus on the 2-0 Bucs, curious to see what  “Fitzmagic” is all about. Primetime in America, 1 am Tuesday morning if you live in the UK as I do. As the Bucs were the only game on US TV on Monday, the UK gets the live feed from America on …Read More

Outside, looking in: Linear Champions

September 20, 2018 Simon Alexander Features

“If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best”. Does this mean that we are now the Linear Champions? I couldn’t help but feel the Bucs were dethroning the current champs as they defeated the Eagles on Sunday night. Whether or not it was en route to collecting the crown themselves, …Read More

Outside, looking in: Offense

September 11, 2018 Simon Alexander Features

A wise person will tell you, that defense wins Championships. That’s been proven to be correct, but the offense is where the fun is! For a long time in soccer, teams adopted “the best kind of defense is offense” mentality. If we have the ball and are attacking you, then you are not scoring against …Read More

Outside, looking in: UK NFL franchise one step closer?

May 9, 2018 Simon Alexander Features

You’ll hopefully know by now that I’m a big fan of NFL, but as I’m stranded in the UK I have no team I can watch live. I’ve also referenced in a few posts how we seem to be creeping ever closer to getting a UK NFL franchise team. The creeping has potentially moved to …Read More

Outside, looking in: Bucs in the eyes of the UK Media

April 25, 2018 Simon Alexander Draft, Features

It’s that time of year again, draft season. NFL analysts and fans across the land frantically complete mock drafts to suggest who teams will or should acquire. On this side of the pond, the Bucs are not headlining the draft news, because they don’t need a Quarterback. I wanted to take a look at the …Read More

From the outside, looking in: Change

December 21, 2017 Simon Alexander Features

In what will be my final post of 2017, I wanted to take the chance to talk about change. Change is a word that will be thrown around a lot when things are not going as you might like. Time to change the coach. Time to change the players. When the time does come for …Read More

From the outside, looking in: Thankful

December 7, 2017 Simon Alexander Features

Whilst we don’t officially celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK, I thought it might be a good time to reflect on what I’ve been thankful for. A couple of years back I was honoured and incredibly grateful to be invited to One Bucs place when on holiday in Florida. Unfortunately, I was a victim of the scheduling and there …Read More
