Episodes
-
[310] Four more games... Can the Bucs turn it around?
There's no other way to say it: The 49ers loss was a better team putting the beatdown on the Buccaneers. Our blocking is bad, the tackling not much better. Brady threw short, inaccurate passes. The playcalling involved way too many screens. Our receivers got no separation. The defense got no...
-
[309] What's wrong with the Bucs? We just don't know...
The Buccaneers loss to the 3-7 Browns is a tough pill to swallow. The team played well, only to break down by the 4th quarter, giving the Browns the opportunity to tie the game and take us to overtime. By then, the momentum was in their favor and they came out victorious. There is a plethora of...
-
[307] Bucs stack wins with victory over Seattle
Germany was going off for the Buccaneers as they overtook the Seattle Seahawks abroad. The Buccaneers put a complete game together and stayed strong throughout. The Seahawks, on the other hand, looked flat. The Bucs dominated the Seahawks in nearly every metric except penalties. The Bucs will go...
-
[306] RALPH WAS WRONG about the Ravens game
Ralph's knee jerk reaction to the Ravens game fell apart after review of the all-22. While everyone, including Ralph, piled on the defense and Devin White, the tape showed them fighting to the very end. The Ravens offense, and Lamar Jackson in particular, just bested us. But it was a fight. The...
-
[305] WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE BUCCANEERS?!
The loss to Carolina is a HEAD SCRATCHER. What is our problem on 3rd/4th and short? Why can't we score? Why are our receivers dropping balls? Where are our leaders? Why can't our defense generate turnovers or stop the run? Fans, we have no answers. We're just as perplexed as you are. It's early...
-
[304] Lets crush those Panthers!
The Carolina Panthers are a dumpster fire and present the perfect opportunity for the Bucs to get the awful taste of the Steelers loss out of their mouths. Not only are the Panthers dealing with an interim coaching staff, they've jettisoned their best player RB Christian McCaffrey to the San...
-
[302] The Buccaneers WILL topple the Pittsburgh Steelers
The Buccaneers have historically struggled against rookie quarterbacks jettisoned to a starting position only weeks or sometimes days before our matchup. However, Kenny Pickett will face a different Buccaneers team. The Buccaneers will dominate the Steelers the same way the Bills did: with...
-
[301] Bucs take the lead in the division with victory over the Atlanta Falcons
The Buccaneers rise to the top of the NFC South with their win over the Atlanta Falcons Sunday. Leonard Fournette had a great game, topping not just the rushing stats but the receiving stats as well. The Buccaneers defense also clocked five sacks on Marcus Mariota. This game, however, is in the...
-
[296] Bucs starters make an appearance in the last preseason game
We finally got a taste of what the Buccaneers will look like this upcoming season, with both the starting offense and defense making their debuts. It was a welcome relief from the sub-par football we've seen from the depth guys. The Buccaneers offense drove down the field, putting three points on...
-
[295] Tennessee Titans game reaction, Injuries, Roster moves, and Brady's absence
The Buccaneers performance against the Tennessee Titans in the second preseason game left something to desired. In contrast to the first game where the receivers and tight ends really shone, there was no player or position group that stood out in the second week. We saw some notable starters in...
-
[294] Ralph's analysis of the Bucs loss to the Dolphins. Plus, roster moves, injuries and headlines
The Dolphins barely squeaked out a win over the Buccaneers in Week 1 of preseason. Overall, the Bucs performance was satisfactory, with the exception of a few freak plays that put the Dolphins ahead. Kyle Trask fumbled the ball, which could have just as easily been called an incomplete pass. The...
-
[293] Training Camp, Preseason Games, Know Your Enemy, and Injuries
The Buccaneers kicked off joint practices with the Dolphins today. Things got chippy quite a few times, a common occurrence in joint practices. The Bucs will face the Dolphins at home this Saturday. We probably won't see starters, but could get a peak at the offensive line prospects, as well as…

[291] Gronk RETIRES; more signs Suh is GONE; and a 2021 season recap
Rob Gronkowski has officially announced his retirement. The legend put out a statement on social media. His absence leaves a huge hole in the Buccaneers offense that cannot be filled. Ndamukong Suh said on an appearance on ESPNLive's NFL2 that it was unlikely he was returning to the Buccaneers…

[289] Bucs schedule release, signings, and NFC South rumblings
The NFL released the schedule last week. The Buccaneers have five primetime games once again, although theirs is one of the toughest. The schedule includes a 9:30 a.m. game in Munich, Germany against the Seahawks. We'll match up against the NFC West and AFC North this year. Ndamukong Suh may sign...
-
[288] Tampa Bay Buccaneers Draft Recap
The Buccaneers shocked Bucs nation by trading away their first-round pick in the NFL Draft to the Jacksonville Jaguars. They gained the first overall pick in the second round and selected DE Logan Hall. In another surprising move, they picked up G Luke Goedeke at with the 57th pick. In Round 3,...
-
[286] How successful will Todd Bowles be as head coach??
Ralph is uneasy about the coaching change at One Buc Place. Between Todd Bowles' win-loss record and penchant for firing underlings, Ralph is hesitant about celebrating the move. Molly would agree but for the culture and staff installed under Bruce Arians being mostly in-tact. How much say will...
-
[283] Bucs Free Agency Frenzy! Logan Ryan, Shaq Mason, Russell Gage, and more!
This free agency period is bananas. The Buccaneers re-sign stud C Ryan Jensen. They bring in Shaq Mason in a trade with the Patriots (an absolute steal, btw). The Bucs sign S Logan Ryan, a Tom Brady guy. They also bring in Russell Gage with a phone call from Tom. Breshad Perriman is back. Chris...
-
[282] TOM BRADY IS BACK! Ryan Jensen, Carlton Davis also returning for the Bucs.
Free agency starts with a bang for the Bucs, who not only get the GOAT back in a surprise un-retiring, but also retained star Center Ryan Jensen AND CB Carlton Davis. Both players were highly sought-after in free agency for their positions. The Buccaneers have not worked out a deal with S Jordan...
-
[280] Ali Marpet announces retirement, Carmen Vitali also jumping ship
We have some sad personal news. The Buccaneers lose another key piece in Ali Marpet, who announced his retirement Sunday after seven years with the team. It makes it all the more vital we re-sign free agents Alex Cappa, Aaron Stinnie and Ryan Jensen to ensure continuity on the offensive line....
-
[279] Super Bowl afterthoughts
The Super Bowl happened... That's about it. It was kind of boring. We expected a comeback by Joe Burrow, but the game ended on some bizarre penalties and then a 4 & out by Cincinnati. Ralph recounts how we got to the modern halftime model. We discuss the current questions surrounding race in the...
-
[278] TOM BRADY IS RETIRING
And none of us are okay.
-
[277] What went wrong against LA? Plus, Schefter blows his wad on Brady's retirement announcement.
The Rams' final drive was a disappointing showing by the Buccaneers' defense (like we had to tell you that). However, it wasn't the 40+ yard bomb to Cooper Kupp, but the play before that sealed the Bucs' fate. SMB was covering Kupp and inexplicably fell down, leaving Mike Edwards to move up and...
-
[277] Bucs fall to the Rams in the divisional round
What a heartbreaking rollercoaster that was. Until late in the third quarter, it seemed like the Buccaneers were doomed. But the defense kept us in it, and in it, and in it. The offense made plays when it needed them and put enough points on the board to tie us up. Then Matt Gay struck with an...
-
[274] The rivalry between the Bucs and the Eagles is long and storied. Who will come out on top?
Veteran Buccaneer fans know the pain of losing to the Eagles in the playoffs. It happened in the years before the Bucs made their Super Bowl appearance in 2003. It cost the team Tony Dungy. Ronde Barber righted the ship with his pick six in the NFC Championship. The victory took the Bucs to the...
-
[269] BUCCANEERS ARE NFC SOUTH CHAMPIONS
This Victory Monday is a hat-and-t-shirt Victory Monday as the Buccaneers come away with the NFC South title. The Panthers didn't put up much of a fight, even against our second and third stringers. Jordan Whitehead had an outstanding game, earning the recognition of the announcers during the…
more -
[267] DISASTER: Bucs shut out by the Saints
Could this have gone any worse? The Buccaneers shot themselves in the foot repeatedly with dropped passes, lost key players to injury and got shut out at home. The young guys failed to step up when we needed them most. To add insult to injury, the last came to division rivals. I hate everything.
-
[265] BUCS BEAT BILLS IN OVERTIME
What. A. Game. They say all good teams win one they should have lost. When the season's over and we have another Super Bowl ring, we can point to this victory as that game. The Buccaneers, both offense and defense, were stellar in the first half. But the Bills made a run at a comeback, tying the...
-
[263] Buccaneers sweep the Falcons!!
The Buccaneers have a good showing against our division rivals. The offense played great, particularly Chris Godwin who broke his own personal record for receptions in a game and topped Mark Carrier for third-most in franchise history. Leonard Fournette has emerged as a workhorse running back, a...
-
[262] Bucs matchup against the Falcons will be a blowout
The Falcons have changed since we saw them last Week 2: Cordarelle Patterson has proved to be a threat both in the run and passing games; and, their defense is starting to gel. Nevertheless, Tom Brady's streak will increase to 10-0 against the Falcons tomorrow. Matt Ryan will not be able to...
-
[261] BREAKING: NFL SUSPENDS MIKE EDWARDS & ANTONIO BROWN
The NFL and NFLPA agreed to a suspension of three games without pay for both Mike Edwards and Antonio Brown for misleading the league with regards to their vaccination status. As we predicted at the start of the season, the NFL's protocols are meant to punish dissenters rather than stop the…

[258] VICTORY TUESDAY! Buccaneers demoralize the New York Giants on primetime
The Buccaneers got a much-needed victory against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. We won't lie... we were worried about the team after last week's loss to Washington. But the way the Bucs beat up on the Giants has quelled any doubt we had. Ralph repents! Who should get the game ball?...
-
[257] Unsubstantiated allegations AB faked his vax card. Could that be what went wrong at WFT??
Tom Brady was OFF this week. Missed 10 wide open receivers. TEN. That's 1/3 of his pass plays. It was like what happened in New Orleans: everyone was in a fog. But the offensive line played well. We had 10 receivers WIDE OPEN. Their defense was bad. But Tom checked down instead of throwing to…
more -
[256] Washington Football Team topples the Bucs?! Afterthoughts.
What in the heck happened??? We spitball. The offense lacked energy and cohesion. The defense couldn't get a stop when we needed it most. The game plan was too rigid and was apparent it wasn't working there was no adjustment. The good that came out of this week: Vita wasn't seriously hurt. The...
-
[255] BUCCANEERS ARE BACK! Washington Football Team game preview
The Buccaneers return from the bye to travel to Fedex field, where they will take on the Football Team. This should go much differently than when we saw them in the playoffs. First and foremost, we are prepared for running quarterback Taylor Heinicke. Secondly, there no one on the offense, with…
more -
[254] Ralph GOES OFF on the Aaron Rodgers situation, current state of the NFL
This episode is a little more charged than we like to go, but enough is enough. The Aaron Rodgers situation is a case of low status males in sports media using their platform to demand compliance. Dissenters, like Rodgers, cannot be tolerated. What's even more absurd is that an NFL player KILLED…
more -
[252] Afterthoughts: Buccaneers fall to the Zebras (and the Saints win)
Has NFL officiating ever been worse than this year?? Between the BS roughing the passer call on Gholston (which negated Winfield's interception), the taunting call on Devin White, and the lack of calls against the Saints, those zebras can eff allllllll the way off. Still, the Bucs were in it…

[250] Game film review: Chicago Bears. THESE FOOLS JUST GAVE UP!
If you like what we do and want to support the show, please consider a monthly donation: https://anchor.fm/buccaneers-observer/support After the game, we determined Leonard Fournette deserved the game ball. But after review of the game film, Ralph determined the offensive line, in fact, won us…

[249] WE'RE BAAAACK. Afterthoughts on the Chicago Bears game & where the heck we've been.
The Chicago Bears game was a glorious, glorious beatdown. We've been on the other side of those types of games too many times, so enjoy it, Bucs fans! The defense showed resiliency even while missing many starters, including Lavonte David, Carlton Davis III, and Sean Murphy-Bunting. The offense…

[248] Afterthoughts: Tampa Bay Buccaneers crush the Miami Dolphins
It's about what we expected. This game is what the Patriots game should have been had the receivers caught the damn ball. The Buccaneers played a complete game. Miami, to their credit, played hard and showed flashes. However, the Buccaneers did not get out unscathed. Lavonte David suffered a high...
-
[247] The Bucs should have dominated the Patriots & WILL dominate the Dolphins
The score against the Patriots was not as lopsided as it should have been. Between the Buccaneers receivers dropping seven passes, OJ Howard's abysmal blocking and the refs blowing some calls, the score should have been closer to Ralph's prediction of 45-10. The Buccaneers defense did a lot of…
more -
[246] Bucs beat the New England Patriots in Tom Brady's return to Gillette Stadium
The defense really secured this one for the team. Joe Tryon-Shoyinka got two sacks. Richard Sherman recovered a fumble punched out by Antoine Winfield, Jr. William Gholston and Shaquil Barrett also showed up. The Bucs allowed -1 yards net rushing by the Patriots. There was a high cost to this…
more -
[245] Rams film review & New England Patriots game preview
The refs were absolutely atrocious during the Rams game. There were several no-calls on personal foul penalties that would have given the Bucs favorable field position. Rob Gronkowski was targeted by Jalen Ramsey in the endzone on one such foul. Rams QB Matt Stafford played at an elite-level. He...
-
[244] Tampa Bay Buccaneers fall to the Los Angeles Rams - SEE YOU IN JANUARY, SUCKAS
Did the Rams just make a fatal mistake? Don't they know Tom Brady feeds off these types of losses come playoffs? We can safely say the Buccaneers brought their C-game, whereas the Rams brought their A-game. The Rams had this game circled on the calendar. There were celebrities in attendance: the...
-
[243] Dallas Cowboys Game Film Review & LA Rams Preview
This is the toughest opponent we've faced so far, and we were conflicted on our score predictions. The Rams defense is tough, but the Colts put up a fight in week 2, only falling by 3 points in the end. The Buccaneers will face a former coach in Raheem Morris, who is now the Rams defensive...
-
[242] 2-0, baby! Bucs victory over the Atlanta Falcons
The game felt close briefly, but the Buccaneers clinched the game thanks to not one but two pick-sixes by Mike Edwards. Tom Brady had five touchdowns and broke his own record of most games with 30+ points. TE Rob Gronkowski also had a record breaking day. The refs were horrible, as usual. What…
more -
[240] NFC South Week 1 impressions
Sunday was a glorious football Sunday. We got to watch our NFC South rivals in a week where the Bucs already had a victory under their belt. The Carolina Panthers played the New York Jets. While Carolina won and had a decent showing, it's still to be determined whether that was because Carolina…
more -
[235] Texans game review, Roster Cuts, Practice Squad, League News
The Buccaneers starting offense looked like a well-oiled machine during its performance against the Texans, with the exception of the first drive which ended in a three and out. The team made cuts this week in order to get down to the 53-man roster by the deadline. Surprise cuts included TE…

[231] Joint practice with the Titans, more roster moves, news from around the league
The Buccaneers faced the Tennessee Titans at camp today. Bruce Arians said the team offensively had a good day, although Bucs media is in a tizzy about the number of drops. Reporter Paul Kuharsky, who covers the Titan for Outkick, noted the Buccaneers offense is much faster than Tennessee’s. Bucs...
-
[229] Cincinnati Bengals come to town in preseason opener
Bucs nation lost a good one this week. Mark Cook, of Pewter Report fame, passed away. He was a stalwart in the Bucs community and will be missed. The Cincinnati Bengals come to Tampa this Saturday. QB Joe Burrow will be sidelined this game, and it's undetermined whether he will play at all this...
-
[228] Bucs Unofficial Depth Chart Released
There weren't many surprises as the Buccaneers released their first depth chart today. One surprise, however, was TE Tanner Hudson's position on the chart - he was listed after Codey McElroy. Coupled with BA's comments yesterday, it seems Tanner needs to step it up or risk being cut. Around the...
