Bengals 14, Buccaneers 13
November 30th, 2014
Bad teams find ways to lose consistently.
And the Bucs found a familiar one today. They crumbled late in the first half and failed to show up out of the halftime tunnel.
Welcome to Chicago. “Inept” is the first word that comes to Joe’s mind.
So many penalties. It was as if the offensive line felt so much pressure to do something that they lost their freakin’ minds.
The Bengals did everything they could to give the game to the Bucs. Andy Dalton played Santa Claus with three interceptions. The Bengals inexplicably tried — and failed — an onside kick late in the third quarter leading 14-10. It was an absolute gift to the Bucs, but they couldn’t manage more than three points after failing to move the ball — and going backwards following an Oneil Cousins clip and an illegal snap by center Garrett Gilkey.
Josh McCown continued to play like a rookie, in what arguably was his worst start as a Buccaneer.
Seven yards of offense in the third quarter.
The Den of Depression surely lived up to its name.
Stick with Joe through the day for much more from One Buc Palace.

That play where we had 12 men on the field was the most Bucs thing to happen all year.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
Tar and Feather
Pick your choice of whom
November 30th, 2014 at 5:06 pm
yeah, closer to a high draft pick…..
November 30th, 2014 at 5:07 pm
Anyone see a win on the rest of our schedule? I sure don’t.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:07 pm
At least our defense is looking good though it’s not their fault our offense can only put up 13 points with 3 turnovers and consistently great field position.
Get a new offensive line.
Get a new QB.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
Lovie Smith is a sorry ass excuse of an NFL coach. This team had so many opportunities to take this game. Pathetic. We lost cause our dumb ass players forgot that you’re only supposed to have 11 people on the field.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
I hope not Luther….we need that top 3 draft pick.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
12 men on the field! Lmfao. Finding new ways to lose every week. I was a Mccown supporter but the guy has been lost the last 2 weeks. I know teams are double and tripling Evans, but come on, something else has to be there.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
@Joe
Maybe you should write about Comics. Oh wait, you are writhing about comics.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
Nobody else in the league would have gotten the short side of that call except us. With that said, McCrap sucks turds and this O Line is a crapshow.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:09 pm
McClown has got to go. He loss games for the Bucs.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:09 pm
Are u kidding me? A holding on a running play and then 12 men on the field. It’s the self-destruct Bucs. All I can do is shake my head.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:09 pm
Josh is the worst qb I’ve ever seen in my life he shouldn’t be allowed back on the field smh he lost us the game
November 30th, 2014 at 5:09 pm
Well that sucked
November 30th, 2014 at 5:09 pm
Only Liar Smith’s retarded ass team could lose like we did today. What a fukking joke that piece of trash is. He’s coming back next year, but I’ve already got my “Fire Lovie” signs up. Fucc this guy.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:09 pm
Kudos to Marvin Lewis, that was a brilliant move. As to the Bucs, horrible, poorly coached teams always find a way to lose. 12 men in the huddle is a penalty, so how they got 12 men on the field is insane. Lovieball at its finest.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:09 pm

November 30th, 2014 at 5:10 pm
In McCown we trust lol what a joke.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:10 pm
I know EDS was hurt but I think it’s amazing that our offensive line is so bad that we had to roll out Garret Gilkey and Oneil Cousins. I know I can’t be the only Bucs fan who never wants to hear either of their names again.
Makes you wonder why the hell we decided to trade Zuttah.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:10 pm
How VERY inventive the Bucs are at finding ways to lose games. The fan is guaranteed something new in the field of futility every week.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:10 pm
Our O-Line are a bunch of transgenders. Because they always FUK themselves.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:11 pm
Lovie’s a moron
November 30th, 2014 at 5:11 pm
This is second game we have p!shed away after picking off the opposing QB 3 times!!!
Who does that???
Liar Smith that’s who.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:11 pm
God ell will surely start an investigation of the Bucs tanking, but at least Mike Evans had a beastly block
November 30th, 2014 at 5:11 pm
Is there anyone that thinks that Glennon iw worse than McCown????????????
that is except the Big Dog and anyone that listens, knows he is football wacky
November 30th, 2014 at 5:11 pm
Like I said. Marcus Arroyo, Josh McCown, Lovie Smith, Leslie Frazier, and those Glazer kids are a losing combination for the ages.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:11 pm
The Glazer’s should refund every season ticket holder and the players should all forfeit every dime over league minimum.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:11 pm
Dumb teams (coaches and players) deserve to lose. “Twas always so. Sad that we get to see this manifest week after week.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:12 pm
Bad teams find ways to lose, and folks we’re a very bad team! GO BUCS
November 30th, 2014 at 5:12 pm
Joe, please stop them dam adds on the screen!
I am about done with these Bucs. I don’t think schiono would have been this bad! This team is a JOKE. 12 men on the field! Really! Lovie needs to go or a real qb needs to be drafted. McClown suxks

Are you saying the Refs screwed us? I think our coaching screwed us.

Go Bucs…
And take the Rays with you!
November 30th, 2014 at 5:12 pm
Den of Depression? Home of Lovie’s Losers?
November 30th, 2014 at 5:12 pm
It’s safe to say the current HC and GM are terrible at evaluating talent. I can’t see where they made a personnel decision that improved the team. What am I missing? They left players in place that have under-performed, replaced players we could have helped, and brought in FAs that have been useless. What’s a shame is that we have a lot of talent (#54, #93, #22, #27) that are watching their best years go to waste. Right now, I can’t see a path to improvement. Where is it? Someone help explain please.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:12 pm
Well…at least we can STOP the asinine playoff talk.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
The real oddity here will be when Joe does his daily Lovie confidence poll and the number of total confidence votes will be the same or higher smh
November 30th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
Any comments from the Glazers after another loss??????
Nah, didn’t think so.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
Remember we use to have leads and the defense would blow them. Well now the defense is showing up. So you figure it out. I don’t have to.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
Same oh thing again. Lovie n his boy McCown. This guy should be ashame calling himself an NFL player. Dumb plays over n over. Where did this guy Gilkey come from? Lovie get rid of our offensive line n bring in a bunch of arena players. Collins n Martin need to go. Bravo to our defense.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
I’m tired of seen McCown in there leave Glennon in for the rest of the season the way our defense is been playing for the last couple of games i think Glennon would of won
November 30th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
Top 3 pick, jax won today, need them to win another and oakland to win again.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
One word: pathetic.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
I miss Zuttah
And Joseph
And Penn,
It’s like we have an OLine made out of Jeremy Truebloods.
At least are D is getting better and we have one good WR on offensive.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
Extremely AWFUL
WOW
November 30th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
McClown has thrown at least 1 INT every game he has played as a Buccaneer. And he’s starting.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
We look like a Junior Varsity football club. Goddamn pathetic.
SCHIANO SHOULDVE HAD A THIRD YEAR.
#trenchmob
November 30th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
The best chance for the Buc’s to win is to kick a field goal every time they are in range. even if it is first and 10 because they will find a way to give it away without an attempt
November 30th, 2014 at 5:15 pm
Good news-Jaguars won!
November 30th, 2014 at 5:15 pm
Trash McCown is the best QB ever to play for the Bucs. I love the way our beastly RDE shows up every play. Let’s tip a hat to the best LT in all of football. I think the genius of our GM deserves a word here for creating the unique depth that allows an RG like Cousins to start at TE for us. Great depth and who needs a Tim Wright when you have a mountain mover like Mankins and no 4th round pick next year. Can we get a round of applause for the greatest HC ever? That guy knows how to prepare a football team for 60 minutes. Excellence in Tampa, “City of Champions”
November 30th, 2014 at 5:15 pm
If anyone was counting, the line actually gave McCown time to throw on a lot oc occasions. sometimes 4+ seconds and he still could not find the open man. I think he is mentally too slow.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:17 pm
This offense is awful. And I like McCown, but I have zero confidence in him. If Glennon’s in there, there’s at least a glimmer of hope when the Bucs have the ball… instead of the nervousness, wincing and sphincter pinching currently being induced.
Unless it doesn’t matter which poor sucker’s back there because it’s all on the O-line… which if so, drafting a QB won’t fix anything.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:17 pm
@DallasBuc
That is what I term as dripping sarcasm.
Kudos;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
November 30th, 2014 at 5:20 pm
well, we did get a 4th in the Barron trade….
November 30th, 2014 at 5:22 pm
I can’t wait until we here someone in the Buc’s organization say we are still in the hunt, only 2 games out.
I have owned many successful business in my time and I never did hesitate to fire inadequate personnel.
It shakes up the troops. also I never gave guaranteed contracts that reduced motivation.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:30 pm
12 men on the field, on offense? Shouldn’t the dumba$$ qb notice that before he snaps the ball. He sucks, o-line sucks, coaching sucks and while I’m at it, did anyone hear mccoys name after his sack that was gifted to him by smith. Make more than a play game please.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:31 pm
How many yards did Cousins cost his team all by his lonesome?? 45??
November 30th, 2014 at 5:36 pm
Josh McCown is the worst bucs starter since Jack Thompson. There’s a lot of band in between there too! This offense makes whatever Jagodzinski was dreaming up look like rocket science. There’s so much wrong with this team. So much. This regime’s talent evaluation on the OL and FA is abominable. The previous regime’s talent evaluation -across the board- was worse (see Barron, Mark; Freeman, Josh; Benn Rejus, et al). Lovie has made the D respectable by jettisoning and rejiggering players. But it’s not enough for me. His ‘faith’ in McCown is unjustifiable. It was a bad move that had disaster written all over it. Joe is right, the guy plays like an overmatched rookie. I’ve said it before…these clowns will not draft either primo QB. They’ll go DE/OL at Lovies insistence that McCown will be fine with more line help. Delusional. Pathetic.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:44 pm
MadMax, I thought it was 5th. I could use a fifth right now……
November 30th, 2014 at 5:45 pm
13pts! ONLY 13pts!!!
November 30th, 2014 at 5:46 pm
I predict. That Lovie Smith will quit at the end of the season siting that he was mistaken in to believing that he wanted to come back into coaching ‘ He will state that he can no longer continue too coach due to the fact that it has been to much of a mental strain on him and his family and he will have to step down because of depression and anxiety attacks.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:50 pm
No good news today, just the same old crap. Are we still in the hunt Lovie?
November 30th, 2014 at 5:52 pm
Remember when the bucs fired Chucky for going 9-7 . I miss thoose days
November 30th, 2014 at 5:58 pm
Mike J it was a 4th and 6th.
November 30th, 2014 at 6:03 pm
@ Shawnbucfan
Hell remember when we fired Schiano for 4-12? That win mark is looking out of reach for Lovie the Great
November 30th, 2014 at 6:21 pm
MadMax, OK, TY.
November 30th, 2014 at 6:23 pm
Marcus Mariota would be worth an additional 8 points to this team…. and we’d be 9-3 right now with another 8 points per game. This team is close, this defense is getting pretty good. We keep losing but we’re playing hard..I’m excited.
November 30th, 2014 at 6:58 pm
To think… Ive been wanting the Bucs to lose for draft position. And the last few games they came out swinging and looking like a pro ball club. And so by half time Im like, screw it. Go for the win. And the Bucs come out in the second half and play like shiz and lose anyway. So Im sitting here asking myself. Why do I care about this crap so much? Why have I wasted most of my youth and adult life loving these unlovable losers? The players sure dont seem to be upset anymore. I see smiles and hugs as they congratulate the other team and they walk away to collect a fat pay check.

Next season, no matter how they play.
November 30th, 2014 at 7:02 pm
Lovie was completely out coached
Please please please release him now
November 30th, 2014 at 10:05 pm
