Back in 2018, Bowles won three of his final 12 games with the New York Jets and got fired. In fact, Bowles never had a 2-10 stretch in his four-year stint as New York head coach.

It’s that bad in Tampa. (more…)

Welcome to the dark side. It’s also known as last place in the NFC South landfill.

Yeah, it’s that bad. The Bucs are winless after another uninspired effort at The Licht House.

Even Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston were winning starters today.

This time for Tampa Bay, not even special teams played well. They had been strong in Weeks 1 and 2. (more…)

Joe is pretty convinced Chucky has a craving to coach again — even though he’s had scores of opportunities to coach college ball and instead stayed in his Tampa office breaking down tape, pretending to coach. (more…)

Baker Mayfield said 22 days ago that he was unhappy and slightly insulted by the contract extension offer tossed his way by the Buccaneers. (more…)
