Well, the Bucs let what I considered a “must win game” at this point get away from them in the first half and it was too much for them to overcome even though they almost pulled off an improbable play in the final seconds of the game to win it. They ended up losing to …Read More
The Buccaneers look to bury a division opponent and get themselves back in the race after a 2 game losing streak and a bye week. Who are the Bucs? The team that dominated New Orleans and Philadelphia and nearly beat Pittsburgh, or the one who laid an egg in Chicago? We’ll find out today! Here are …Read More
Well, my picks for the Steelers game last week were tight end Jesse James and outside linebacker TJ Watt, Neither of them had much of an impact on the game. Offensively I got the position correct, but the player wrong as the “Conte Killer” Vance McDonald finished with 4 catches for 112 yards and 1 …Read More
Photo Credit: Cliff Welch / Pewter ReportWeek 2 is in the books and so is another win. The Bucs have started the season 2-0 for the first time since 2010 when they did it with Raheem Morris and Josh Freeman. Back then, they did it by beating the Browns here in Tampa and a bad Panthers team in Carolina. This year, …Read More
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 2-0…how sweet does that sound? It hasn’t happened since 2010 and they haven’t started 3-0 since the 2005 season. That’s what they’ll be looking to do on Monday night against the 0-1-1 Pittsburgh Steelers. I’ll get into my “Playaz 2 Watch” for this week in a minute, but first let’s review …Read More

The interesting thing is that, so far this topsy-turvy NFL …Read More

It started with a disastrous pick in the Eagles/Falcons game (although, Matt Ryan and the Dirty Birds came within …Read More
This year, we here at WTB are trying to bring you more weekly content during the football season. One of my contributions to that effort is going to be my Deez Playaz 2 Watch segment. Each week, I’ll pick an offensive and defensive player from the Bucs opponent that could have a big impact on …Read More
Photo Credit: Cliff Welch / Pewter ReportThe fourth preseason game is like the NFL’s version of the Hunger Games. It’s a fight for survival for some guys. It’s typically the last chance for those “bubble guys” to show the coaching staff what they have to offer the team and give them a reason to keep them around. At this point in …Read More
Photo Credit: Cliff Welch / Pewter ReportThree down and one to go. The starters are done until New Orleans, but there’s still a few positions that will be under the microscope in this final preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
