Seriously.

Fellow BUCS fans should recognize what a difference this cat makes.

The guy makes it SO much easier for every other receiving option.

As unselfish as anyone could ever ask for.

And he’s still getting better in every facet as a player….that’s SCARY.

EA Football….the WORST.

 
 

This one here caused quite a stir.

Many want to continue the “Win Now Mode” and worry about the consequences of not winning later.

We’ve see what this has brought to every other team in the NFC South.

Just a flashback to initial bad draft takes.

Remember the vitriol towards the Vita Vea pick??

 

Whitehead vowed to make sure people knew his name before the start of the 2020 season. He did just that.

Now, it seems some people want to mention his name as a player that could be moved.

It’s crazy how some fans want the “next big thing” and can’t appreciate what’s already on deck.

 
 

Brady is rolling over in his hyperbaric chamber.

 

2021 1st Round Pick, Joe Tryon

Get this man a hat!!! STAT.

 

4th Round Selection turned starter for a Super Bowl Winning defense…..Whitehead knows what it is.

Griffin took the most snaps at the championship boat parade than he’s had since college.

He’s had one of the best jobs in NFL history.

Sitting behind a QB that’s highly unlikely to be taken out of a game unless it’s due to severe injury.

Not even 30 INTs could’ve gotten him more than 4 snaps.

 

A lil’ late on this one. But, the artist deserves some recognition.

Super dope artwork recognized by the young fella himself….Mr. GetLive, Devin White.

 

Giovanni when enters the RB room as the guy who’s obviously there to make the other guys feel bad:

 

Ummmm….No.

“Buck” gets you disqualified and banned IMMEDIATELY.

Height/Reach advantage

Has gone up against guys that were actually able to fight back.

Doesn’t do well annoying, pesky types.

‘Nuff said

 
 

PERFECT.

 
 

D. White ain’t letting nothing slide.

Constant pressure.

He stays loaded with the get-back.

And it’s never fake.

 
 
 

I became a fan of the BUCS in ‘94 on the strength of Hardy Nickerson.

The following offseason brought this big fella and Derrick Brooks into the fold.

Thank you, NY JETS for being terrible at drafting.

Fournette was one of the most phenomenal college RBs seen in recent memory.

He knows it.

He’s not letting anyone forget it either.

It’s not even a debate.

Lavonte David is the most slept on player in the NFL over the last 15 years..

Regardless of position.

 

sAints fans are gonna be feeling the pressure from fellow BUCS fans for the 6 months.

They may as well settle in with being uncomfortable.

 
 

INK’d UP!

Evans initially mentioned getting the tat on his neck. That was probably the drinks talking during the boat parade. While on his IG Live on March 3rd, he gave that pain a second thought.

This faithful fellow BUCS fan got a big sticker on his sweater to celebrate our Team’s 2nd championship.

That and what looks like Rugrats character Chuckie concealing or possibly selling what may be illegal drugs.

AWESOME.

THe lavonte david free agency talk in 4 tweets

The hot-button comment…..

The commentary/backlash……

The “clarification” less than 24 hours later.

And this is why I don’t follow the wave of the national media news cycle.

Too busy celebrating the winning season that was 2020.

The new one starts on March 17th.

The Fournette redemption song was just getting warmed up.

 

Something to keep an eye on…..

 
 

Interesting indeed.

That now sits at 8-3.

 

The “rigged” and referee conspiracy claims were in full effect by the end of the 2nd quarter.

 

Follow progress..not predictions.

 

It’s funny because it’s true.

Also scary as hell.

Speaking from experience.

Recurring theme: That damn Defense was killer.

Everything about this is PERFECT.

Winfield Jr. wasn’t on some pretty boy pettiness.

He didn’t just throw ‘em up on his way off the field.

Ol’ boy waited patiently until Hill made eye contact and hit him with the deuces.

That’s on the level of a perfectly delivered punchline from a comedian or a glance/look from an experienced stage performer.

It was intentional….not happenstance.

This was meant to be.

It had to happen.

This disrespect was REAL.

Winfield Jr. delivered one of, if not, the coldest revenge moments in NFL history on the biggest stage there could possibly be.

 

NARRATOR: Help never came.

 

A dream turned into reality.

It’s been a long time coming.

 
 

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaay

 
 

All season, that damn defense had been consistently good.

At the end of NFC Championship game, Devin White said they still hadn’t played their best yet.

He wasn’t lying.

 
 

Short answer:

Hell Yea.gif
 
 
 
 

Serious business…What Todd Bowles did with that defense is liken to what Monte Kiffin did back in Tampa’s glory days en route to the 1st title.

 
 

Even while nearing the point where the Team was securing a playoff spot, I could see both of these guys being considered for replacement if the season didn’t end with a serious Super Bowl run.

Now, they’ll both be etched in BUCS history forever.

 

Disney ain’t slick.

The colours were faint orange and red.

Could’ve been either team. I know better.

 
 

Gronkowski was the acting public relations guy as well as the party-starter at the postgame press conferences.

 
 
 
 

That boy played on another level.

It’s only fitting he was living on another planet.

 
 
 
 

The prophecy has been fulfilled.

For The Children.

 
 

Well deserved.

In three seasons, this cat has grown into the BUCS best CB and leader in the secondary.

 

This is the story of the game. And the season.

Don’t let the talking heads fool you.

 

A straight up magic moment.

Something like this may not be seen again for another 55 years.

 

Devin White and that damn horse dream.

He wasn’t gonna let go.

On some Wayne Wonder sh*t.

 
 
 
 

Call The People….

 
 

Pay Attention.

Even in a bad loss, great players stand out.

That boy Mahomes is UNREAL.

 

EXACTLY.

At every level, big time plays were being made on the defensive side of the ball.

 
 

Once again, former BUCS franchise player, Gerald McCoy offers congratulations to his friends and former teammates.

Dude was a class act his entire time in Tampa.

And he continues that life wherever he goes.

 
 
 
Screen Shot 2021-02-09 at 9.08.20 PM.png

From the peanut gallery located in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

 

Take the time to LISTEN to this dude.

In just his 2nd season, White is the biggest talker in BUCS history.

Dude is openly passionate and damn near brutally honest.

Down the line, that’s gonna confuse some “fans” and maybe even hurt some feelings.

But it’ll be aiight.

 

This dude is SO DAMN GOOD.

And yet, SO DAMN underappreciated and overlooked.

I’m glad he can say he’s a Champion.

 

Can’t forget about these ol’ salty dogs….Ha

 

Yea…They’re gonna have to do some renovating over at One Buc Place.

I wonder what the next one look like….

I wonder what the next one look like….

 

I’ve no clue why a League rules authority would make this statement.

Incidental contact is still contact AND a foul.

If a QB takes contact to the head, even the slightest touch, it’s a foul.

Why is any different for guys running routes?!

These kinds of tweets/statements only muddy the waters when trying to make the right call or even make a baseline for what would be the right call.

And why do that after the last game of the season??

Another proud parent moment.

Gotta love it.

 
 

Yea.

I hope BUCS fans learn to not pay attention to opinion rankings and “grades” ever again.

Fuck Em.gif
 

I cracked the hell up on this one.. Can’t even lie.

 
 
 

Mike Evans’ favourite player became one of his biggest fans. DOPE.

 
 
 

They had to go into MapQuest to track down how far this dude had to run in order to get away from Todd Bowles’ defense!!!

I wonder if he gets reimbursed for mileage.

 

Remember when Donovan Smith was the “worst LT in the NFL” and he was sure to be the reason Brady wouldn’t make it thru the season??

 
 

Pure joy.

All these damn onions in here…

 

All coordinators look alike.

That’s what they say.

 

One day, fans will wake up to the reality that the vast majority of these guys are just there for entertainment purposes only.

The cats don’t pay attention to the BUCS or what’s happening.

If it’s not a nationally televised game, they don’t watch closely and they don’t care to.

They’ve gotta pretend they know everything about every other team too.

And it’s not just the big national guys either.

Plenty of locals are thriving on stories/headlines rather than actual insight and journalism.

Watch for the hook.

 

I’ve been there.

2014…..

0-8 at Raymond James Stadium.

IMG_20141228_122758527.jpg
 

Tee hee.

 
 

Don’t worry…I got ‘em.

 
 
 

Pay Attention!!

 
 
 

The QB gets too much blame and too much credit.

Any mention of anyone or anything else being the reason the BUCS were successful this season and it immediately goes to the notion one must “hate” the QB.

So weird.

 
 
 
 

This may be my favourite of the past week.

 
 
 

It’s crazy what film review can do.

Having no recent film of Heinecke caused some big issues for the Defense.

If you go back and look at Bowles’ history of 2nd chances against offenses while in Tampa, he’s found a way of correcting mistakes and exploiting the opposing team.

 
 

A hater??

Targeting.

 

This has been confirmed.

 

Serious business.

F*ck that faux-fandom.

 
 
 
 

It’s happening…..

 
 

This is one of the cooler videos of Super Bowl reactions.

Notice how there are so very little crowds in the video.

 

McClendon is one of a few guys that could possibly go out on a high note.

He could hang it up this offseason having won a Super Bowl.

 

LEGENDARY.

 
 
 

Just a reminder.

Ha!!!

The pettiness knows no boundaries.

 

The most despised Divisional rival stay having something to say.

Too bad they’ve gotta wait another 6 months to get the taste of ass-whoopin’ outta their mouths.

 
 
 

This will go down as the most talked about Championship parades of all time.

 
 
 
 

Someone missed a golden opportunity to shoot an Old Spice Swagger commercial here.

 
 

Well deserved.

 

Brady’s social media manager(s) deserve a raise.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Reminder: It’s bigger than sports.

 

The celebration everyone’s been waiting for.

Devin White and Dream taking a victory lap.

“This Was Us” re-run Sunday Night on NBC

 
 

Doo-Doo Brown!!

 
 
 

No matter how you felt about the Defense, this was the only insurmountable stat line that mattered.

 
 
 
 
 
 

A familiar feeling.

With so much bad, it was hard to even put it into words or even categorize the level of awful we witnessed.

Whew!

 

It’s inexcusable to leave the game having looked as it wasn’t even possible to run the ball against an average rushing defense that was missing one of its best starters.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

You knew these cats existed.

Somebody’s gotta get fired when things don’t go the way they thought they’d go.

Anyone paying attention probably recognized Bowles’ approach and game management, as questionable and as painful as it can seem at times, has been the ONLY consistent thing in the BUCS’ 6 wins this season.

There’s not a single entity on the defensive side of the coaching staff that should considered for a firing.

The offense? That’s an entirely different story.

 

Okay…FULL CLIP.

This one didn’t meet the deadline. But I saw this tomfoolery and it’s just one of the WORST.

Whoever runs the account is a straight up bat sht foolish.

If memory serves me correctly, this account was heavily involved in the propping up and all out propaganda of the former starting QB in Tampa.

Another “say anything” type.

Also in cahoots with that infamous stalker and card collector with multiple screen names and likely multiple personalities. All of ‘em terrible, by the way.

This kinda speculation and f*ckery has been around local Tampa media for a long time. And its kind has done some damage.

This is just the latest of shock jock radio wannabes in word form.

GARBAGE.

Aaaaaaand you just knew these trolls have been starving under their bridges waiting to come out for this one too.

It was on the Team to do their part and play spoiler.

It wouldn’t have stopped these insatiable, self-righteous spin doctors from talking crazy any chance they got.

They would still go on to claim being BUCS fans all the while hoping New Orleans goes on to win the division in Week 17 with Drew Brees sustaining an injury that would allow their 3rd String idol to start in a playoff game.

It’s what they do.

The balance isn’t all that hard either.

If you’re aware of what’s going on and follow progress rather than predictions, it’s easier to handle and learn from disappointing moments.
