I know all of you out there in Buc Nation have been getting bombarded with training camp articles and updates, so hopefully you’re not sick of them yet. If you’re like me, that’s not possible. I can never get too much information about my favorite team. However for the fans that don’t live locally, the …Read More
Photo Credit: Cliff Welch / Pewter ReportIf you’re anything like me, you’ve spent the last four months or so drinking, cursing and yelling your way through this highly disappointing 2017 Buccaneers season. We watched a young, talented, promising football team struggle to ever reach their potential and to find their identity. Injuries, failed free agent signings and poor coaching all contributed …Read More
Photo Credit: Cliff Welch / Pewter ReportThe Buccaneers had a huge opportunity on Thursday Night. The defending super bowl champs, on national TV and in your stadium. What better scenario could someone think of? The Bucs fought hard, but ultimately they fell to the New England Patriots by a score of 19-14. There were a lot of ups but also a …Read More
Photo Credit: Cliff Welch / Pewter ReportWell, the first quarter of the season is in the books and I think we can all agree that it was somewhat of a disappointment. At 2-2, the Buccaneers have wins against the 1-3 Chicago Bears and the 0-4 New York Giants, both at Raymond James Stadium. Their two losses came at the hands of …Read More

The Bucs really looked good on a very hot Sunday and maybe part of that heat may have been because of the Bucs… Because, well, they were on FIRE! …Read More
Those Jerseys sure looked nice, didn’t they? The Bucs were finally able to play an actual football game for the first time in about 8 months. This week was a Bengals experiemtn that ended, ultimately, in failure. Now, a reminder that this was a preseason game and a game that did not count. The Bucs …Read More
In the 2015 season, Bucs offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter and rookie quarterback Jameis Winston took an offense that was ranked 30th in the league in 2014 to the 5th ranked in the league. That improvement was enough to convince Jason Licht to hire him as the new head coach after firing Lovie Smith. In his first year as a head coach, …Read More
This Tampa Bay Buccaneers season has certainly been a rollercoaster ride for us fans. From the beginning of the year when Lovie Smith was fired and Dirk Koetter was hired right down to this last nailbiter of a game against the Panthers, it’s been an up and down, twisting and turning, thrilling and sometimes nauseating ride of …Read More
