Bucs fall to Rams despite huge night by offensive stars

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Jameis Winston threw for more yards than he has ever thrown in the NFL. Doug Martin took over the NFL rushing lead. Mike Evans caught the most passes of any game in his career. And the Bucs lost. Badly. They outgained the Rams by 190 yards, and they had 30 first downs. And still, Tampa Bay lost a 31-23 game in what might have been the Rams’ final game in St. Louis. That’s how bad the Bucs’ pass defense was…

Can Bucs’ Jameis Winston outplay Rams’ Todd Gurley?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The all-red uniforms of the Tampa Bay Bucs. The all-yellow uniforms of the St. Louis Rams. The all-green turf of the Edward Jones Dome. For goodness sakes, this isn’t a football game. It’s a traffic light. Evidently, the NFL believed that bright colors would distract fans from disappointing football. The Bucs are 6-7 on the season and the Rams are 5-8. And instead of representing excellence as they once did โ€” the Rams on offense, the Bucs on defense โ€”…

Bucs continue their play against a weak schedule vs. Rams

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Tampa Bay Bucs continue their skid row schedule Thursday night in St. Louis. The Bucs have played 13 games, but only one opponent โ€” Carolina, which is 13-0 โ€” has a winning record. The Bucs’ other six losses, as well as its six wins, have all come against teams on the lesser side of .500. The team’s next two opponents โ€” the Rams and the Bears โ€” also have losing records.

Bucs’ game plan omitted Doug Martin, Mike Evans in loss

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Not enough Doug Martin. Not enough Mike Evans. Not enough points or plays or third-down conversions. Looking back, that was the key for the Tampa Bay Bucs against New Orleans. Not enough. That was the thing about the Bucs’ 24-17 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints. The Bucs simply couldn’t get enough offense going to make anyone happy. There was running back Martin, who touched the ball only 11 times despite a 7.4 average. There was wide…

The 5,000-day streak: Bucs look as if they’ll miss playoffs again

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Things to think about: If the Tampa Bay Bucs do not win a playoff game this season โ€“ stop laughing, won’t you? โ€“ then it will at least 5,000 days between victories. Ouch. The Bucs, who last won a playoff game when they won the Super Bowl on Jan. 26 of 2003 (4,706 days ago), have a sad little streak going. It isn’t the longest streak โ€“ seven teams have longer ones โ€“ but to Tampa Bay, it’s long enough.…

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The NFL playoffs look further away than ever for the Tampa Bay Bucs, but coach Lovie Smith says he isn’t surrendering. One day after a disappointing loss to New Orleans dropped the Bucs to 6-7 on the season and two games out of the playoff race, Smith said there is still a chance. โ€œThe same goals we had are still there,โ€ Smith said. โ€œNothing has been decided, so we are still talking about the same thing. We have three games…
