The Bucs got their first win of the NFL season on Thursday, and boy was it a big time win. Joined with special guest Len Martez of 953 WDAE and iHeart Media, the entire group breaks down their 20-14 victory from Thursday night.

Once again the defense was strong, and they came up in the biggest moment of the game when Vernon Hargreaves made the game winning tackle. Is this a top 10 defense? That discussion is brought up.

On the offensive side of the ball, what has happened to some of their top weapons? O.J. Howard had no catches, Mike Evans hasn't put up his Mike Evans type numbers, but the only guy that seems to be clicking right now is Chris Godwin.

It was an emphatic victory for the Bucs, and now its time to stack them up. The guys look a little ahead for what's next for the Bucs while finishing the recap of Tampa Bay's victory. Stay tuned for another episode.

All eyes will be on Jameis Winston and the Bucs when they play the Panthers on Thursday, but it should also be on offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. Will both be able to bounce back?

Playing Carolina also means that the Bucs get their first test against Gerald McCoy and the guys debate whether or not he will have a sack in the game. With Trevor out, the argument ramped up as both sides were at odds.

Who else needs to pick it up for the Bucs? There's a couple of players that need to be accountable if they want to be 1-1 when they face the Giants in week three, and speaking of that, could Winston be out if they lose that one as well? Stay tuned for an action packed show.

On a hot and sunny afternoon in Tampa Bay with Tim McGraw playing before the show, the San Francisco 49ers rained on the Bucs home opener parade. It was a game that the Bucs were in the entire time until the very end, and the group discusses the fatal flaws of the Bucs' turnovers, which cost them the game.

Is it too early, or is this what we should expect from the Bucs this year? The guys also get into whether Winston can actually turn the corner or if this is the player that we'll get now five years into his career.

There were some positives out there on Sunday, particularly the defensive side of the ball and we highlight that as well. After taking a look at the rest of the upcoming schedule, the group tries figure out where they can steal some wins. Stay tuned for the game recap.

The Bucs are just two days away from their third preseason game, which means the starters will get a majority of the reps in the first half? Will that definitely be the case, though? With so many teams using their starters less and less, we may not see them as much as we think.

Part of the reason for Bruce Arians coming back was that he could put coaches like Byron Leftwich and Harold Goodwin in a spot to potentially become more than a coordinator. The group discusses if one of these coaches will eventually take over for Bruce Arians once he leaves.

As Cleveland comes to town, the guys also preview that game and name a player on the bubble that they are looking to see make a play. Tune in for another fun edition.

The game has ended and the Bucs have defeated the Dolphins 16-14 in week two of the preseason. The guys recap what happened in a game that was rather slow for the first three quarters before ramping up excitement late in the fourth quarter.

After Matt Gay his a game winning 48-yard field goal the group discusses whether this kicking competition is over. Other subjects that come up as well is if Ryan Griffin has passed by Blaine Gabbert as Tampa Bay's backup quarterback.

The Bucs didn't have anyone really step up at receiver on Friday night, so the question comes up about if the fourth and fifth receiver spot is secure, and who should win them. With tight end Tanner Hudson having another good game, the conversation goes to the thought of the Bucs keeping four tight ends on the roster. Stay tuned and recap it all now.

We have an explosive Pewter Nation Podcast as we are joined by NFL Hall Of Famer and Bucs Ring Of Honor Member, Warren Sapp!

In our interview with him, Sapp doesn't hold back with giving his thoughts on the Gerald McCoy saga, and why it's not the Bucs fault that someone is wearing McCoy's number. Sapp also gives a shoutout to his other teammates from his playing days that are also in the Ring Of Honor.

After taking a trip down memory lane on some of the great Bucs teams he was on and the playoff games he was in, Sapp focused his attention on the present day Bucs. He stated why he still hasn't seen anything from Vita Vea, and how he wants Ndamukong Suh to prove his worth.

Once the interview was done, the guys recapped what they saw from the joint practices between the Bucs and Dolphins, discussing just how great of a receiver Mike Evans. As the show wrapped up, we each relayed something that we want to see in the next preseason game. Tune in for a wild episode.

The guys both recap and breakdown the Bucs preseason game from Friday night, getting into details of Jameis Winston's passing, Bruce Arians electing for so many two-point conversions when they have a kicking competition. They also mention which players performed the best when it was all said and done.

Moving onto their next opponent, the Bucs will be having some joint practices with the Dolphins coming up and they preview a little bit of that as an old friend comes back into town.

There's a couple of competition between opposing players that we are most looking forward too. Check out which one that is, plus some discussion that gets off the rails on an all new Pewter Nation Podcast.
