Dixie Chicks at Bucs, Open Thread
November 9th, 2014
Good afternoon from cloudy and a bit chilly Stadium on Dale Mabry Highway, where two rotten teams will battle for the basement of the NFC South, the Dixie Chicks and the Bucs. Lots of good seats are still available if you want to enjoy this game in person.
Joe is fighting depression. Joe is depressed because the Bucs are so, so bad and Lovie is playing games with fans. It’s a sad scene. Oh, in case you still haven’t heard, defensive end Michael Johnson is inactive today. As Andrew Dice Clay would say, “It’s because he’s been inactive all year — OH!”
Bang your keyboard here to get all your frustration out of your bodies. As always, we encourage you to e-mail URLs of illegal video streams among yourselves but posting them here can and will get you banned. Go Bucs!
November 9th, 2014 at 1:36 pm
Get out of the Press booth….and chat up…spend todays game in the stadium…listen to the fans that are really experiencing the game..,
November 9th, 2014 at 1:44 pm
Bucs win today. 23-20. McClown throws 2 picks and 2 td’s and Duemig creams hit pants.
November 9th, 2014 at 1:45 pm
Can we win a home game? I expect Lovie’s hand chosen QB to lead us to victory today. If we get our asses kicked (like last time) then you will hear the calls for Lovie’s head, as he’s more concerned about winnng today than playing Glennon to see what the future at QB could be? Lovie better be right, re-inserting McCown better go well or the hot seat will be fully engaged.
November 9th, 2014 at 1:50 pm
one step closer to a better pick in the draft next year…… Must be awesome to have that much job security that Lovie enjoys.
November 9th, 2014 at 1:54 pm
SteveK = spot on. Selfish move by Lovie. He has no concern for the future. He still thinks they are in the playoff hunt. He’s an idiot with a 5 year contract.
November 9th, 2014 at 1:55 pm
Go Bucs! Show us what you got!
November 9th, 2014 at 1:57 pm
Trifecta…the big Oaf David Diehl three weeks in a row.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:03 pm
Look at those stands….I have more groceries in my cupboards we have Bucs fans.
Didn’t Lovie once cut McCown in Chicago?
Go Bucs make a 6 game run at this thing and go 7-9 to close out the season (not gonna happen), but I STILL hope it does. I can’t bring myself to not root for them to win though.
I don’t know about next week though… I might be a little wobbly on my support for a win by then.
For this game though GO BUCS stop sucking!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:03 pm
^^^^ yeah
November 9th, 2014 at 2:04 pm
I’m a starting mccown on my fantasy team. LOL, ROTF
Seriously though I am.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:05 pm
Oh boy the was ugly.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:05 pm
A lot of people went to the game today disguised as an empty seat.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:06 pm
Lightning
Lmao
November 9th, 2014 at 2:10 pm
That’s easily complete
November 9th, 2014 at 2:10 pm
ol mcCown being mccown
November 9th, 2014 at 2:10 pm
wow the jackson catch he landed hard..
November 9th, 2014 at 2:12 pm
Mccown already has more third down conversions than Glennon has had in any of his games.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:13 pm
Sims sighting!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:15 pm
wow…team is playin hard for mccown.
pinocchio/ the mirage, gets no respect.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:15 pm
that was something Glennon is incapable of
November 9th, 2014 at 2:15 pm
Wow it’s amazing seeing a qb escape a sack.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:15 pm
elusiveness helps with this oline.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:16 pm
Okay, we are playing inspired
November 9th, 2014 at 2:18 pm
rainey >>> martin
November 9th, 2014 at 2:19 pm
As Rainey runs for -5 yards…
November 9th, 2014 at 2:19 pm
what a stupid f’n play…
November 9th, 2014 at 2:19 pm
Wtf was that? Gimmick wildcat and they hold. Smfh!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:20 pm
WTF?
November 9th, 2014 at 2:20 pm
dang, 2nd and 25
November 9th, 2014 at 2:20 pm
play calling is terrible
November 9th, 2014 at 2:20 pm
C’mon now, don’t kill ourselves
November 9th, 2014 at 2:20 pm
Cousins is going to get McCown killed
November 9th, 2014 at 2:21 pm
Why they can not block for McCown?
November 9th, 2014 at 2:22 pm
8/12 fg?!?
murray sucks
November 9th, 2014 at 2:22 pm
Beautiful 8:30 drive….
For 3pts!
Go Sucs!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:23 pm
Please a LT then a future QB.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:24 pm
Hey Mccown is doing a good despite the o line letting a free rusher through every play.
Mccown 3-4 on third down.
Glennon could only wish to have 3 third down conversions in an entire game.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:25 pm
Go Sucs!
Defense is finna give up that booty?
November 9th, 2014 at 2:25 pm
C’mon Defense, stand tall!!!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:25 pm
Murray is only 8/12 because he’s had 2 or 3 blocked. He’s pretty good, and has a big leg. Plus, he’s a rookie. Be supportive.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:27 pm
The “Crawk” made a tackle!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:28 pm
Draft a LT and then draft a future QB
November 9th, 2014 at 2:29 pm
Different QB same results.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:30 pm
Wide open! Got lucky
November 9th, 2014 at 2:31 pm
Is the entire defensive line inactive today?
November 9th, 2014 at 2:32 pm
How is bowers allowed on the field?
November 9th, 2014 at 2:32 pm
the whole team is a joke…
November 9th, 2014 at 2:32 pm
We are bad
November 9th, 2014 at 2:35 pm
Man our defense is so bad we better get a qb in the draft lol.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:35 pm
Cannot wait for the day I read on this website: Leonard Johnson walks the plank
November 9th, 2014 at 2:35 pm
This d line is a joke.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:35 pm
shoot thy self in thy foot D
November 9th, 2014 at 2:36 pm
So glad I stayed home to watch this rather than pay…at least i can leave the room when it gets beyond ugly.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:37 pm
Just curious? Have we actually had a penalty free drive this season?
November 9th, 2014 at 2:38 pm
yes, we need a qb first! we have spent high draft picks and $$$ on both lines already. need to put high draft pick into qb.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:39 pm
need a cure to what ails your team? play the bucs!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:39 pm
A good QB can make up for a bad defense by keeping the score close. Our offense only could get 3 the first drive and now it’s 7-3.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:39 pm
Defense or butter, not too sure which is softer.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:39 pm
How can you have defensive off sides in the red zone?
November 9th, 2014 at 2:39 pm
They Just took a camera around the Bucs bench and I swear I thought I saw Bowers pull some fries out of a Mcdonalds bag and is eating them. If they zoom in on the bench look for a Mcdonalds bag. Bowers had it last.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:40 pm
I agree we need a qb
November 9th, 2014 at 2:42 pm
What I don’t like about McCown is that he seldom goes downfield. Let’s see if he does today
November 9th, 2014 at 2:42 pm
I’m worried a high pick on a QB in this draft would be a waste, and we’ll be sitting just like the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills in 2 years
November 9th, 2014 at 2:42 pm
at least on Saturdays i can choose which game i want to watch. This Sucks!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:42 pm
First time I can remember the defense worse than the offense.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:44 pm
wow cullen giving some real sh!t to the dline
November 9th, 2014 at 2:44 pm
I agree we need everything…It is so confusing as to where to start…
November 9th, 2014 at 2:44 pm
How is it that the Glazers have not completely gutted the scouting department, both pro and college. We have very minimal talent on either line defense or offense.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:45 pm
Fans in attendance should get a free sure vile of heroin to watch this garbage.
Go Sucs!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:45 pm
someone threw a flag for a reason WTF!!!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:46 pm
what a turdly punt
November 9th, 2014 at 2:46 pm
I am glad that Lovie fixed that QB problem!!!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:47 pm
The entire team is garbage. Here’s to the number one pick next year.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:47 pm
Lovie’s even ruined a punter!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:49 pm
Way to stone his ass Mason
November 9th, 2014 at 2:50 pm
flag on every freakin play!!!!!!!!!!!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:50 pm
this is unreal
November 9th, 2014 at 2:50 pm
#32 rolled up like a boss
November 9th, 2014 at 2:50 pm
wow, go jets. 17-0 vs steelers.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:51 pm
The d act like they don’t know the rules
November 9th, 2014 at 2:51 pm
WTF
November 9th, 2014 at 2:51 pm
Nice jam 9 yards down the field Crezdon!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:53 pm
This isn’t even worth commenting on anymore. I’m so bored.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:53 pm
Penalties killing us
November 9th, 2014 at 2:54 pm
Actually…I’ve searching and reading internet Obituaries from accomplished people….for inspiration
November 9th, 2014 at 2:54 pm
Reporting live from the game, the temperature outside is pleasant. That is all.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:56 pm
This team is once again the laughing stock of the leauge. The only reason to watch this team is if you feel like spending one of your days off being pissed.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:57 pm
Our defense keeps killing themselves. This is stupid.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:58 pm
A SACK!!!!!
November 9th, 2014 at 2:58 pm
The coaching is so poor. Teams easily out scheme him week to week.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:59 pm
Bucs D looks great on first two downs. Too bad they’re not in the CFL
November 9th, 2014 at 2:59 pm
Lolhester
November 9th, 2014 at 2:59 pm
@SteveK
Your obviously with the slow crowd, the ones that didn’t see how sorry Glennon is. Lovie doesn’t care what you think, if mccown is back then it means lovie has seen enough and so had everyone else with common and and eyesight
November 9th, 2014 at 2:59 pm
Wow the only way this D can stop Atlanta is when they stop themselves. Horrible 3rd and 20 coverage again and only the drop saves it.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:59 pm
that is why both these teams are bad! lmfao
November 9th, 2014 at 2:59 pm
This team is 2 years away from even thinking of a franchise quarterback.
November 9th, 2014 at 2:59 pm
wow thanks hester
November 9th, 2014 at 3:00 pm
Butler taunting Hester? Stupid.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:00 pm
McCown looking good
Godells NFL- a penalty after every play.
Refs decide the game
“They left Hester uncovered!!”
That’s cause he can’t catch
November 9th, 2014 at 3:00 pm
Hey defense got a stop! Err.. I mean didn’t get a penalty!
November 9th, 2014 at 3:01 pm
And we did everything we could to let them score a touchdown on 3rd and goal from the freakin 20.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:02 pm
Lovie must have begged Hester not to kill us again. How does anyone get that wide open?
November 9th, 2014 at 3:02 pm
Hester got scuuuuured
November 9th, 2014 at 3:03 pm
Missing most of game cause of work but why aren’t we running it more??
November 9th, 2014 at 3:03 pm
Let’s go Mccown! Come on o line lets block someone for once! Mike Evans touch down. Calling it.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:04 pm
We don’t run because rainey and this o line suck. We have better chance just throwing the ball wih mccown
November 9th, 2014 at 3:05 pm
Lol VJax shoves the DB and no call
November 9th, 2014 at 3:05 pm
“TheKevin”
You are right.
Let McCown run the team for a couple years- til we rebuild it
A couple drafts by Lovie- we may have something to work with
November 9th, 2014 at 3:06 pm
McCown doesn’t throw deep well
November 9th, 2014 at 3:07 pm
Is Mike Evans playing?
November 9th, 2014 at 3:09 pm
ASJ wide open u dear earth for the first down
November 9th, 2014 at 3:09 pm
Underneath
November 9th, 2014 at 3:09 pm
grandma must be punting
November 9th, 2014 at 3:09 pm
Another all 3 phases being awful game today it seems. Team is very, very bad.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:09 pm
Alright, I’ll say it. We need a new punter. We are paying Koenen way too much money to be punting the way he has this year. He’s gotta go.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:09 pm
23 yard punt, wow these guys are good
November 9th, 2014 at 3:10 pm
3rd and 2 lets throw a low percentage 15 yard pass….decisions that lead to a 1-8 record.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:10 pm
Another nice punt
November 9th, 2014 at 3:10 pm
Our special teams is a joke – and they weren’t with Schiano. HMMM!
November 9th, 2014 at 3:11 pm
Don’t blame Koenen – he has been instructed to not punt for distance, but to punt it high for coverage. Lovie has ruined him.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:11 pm
Hi Bucs. Get an offensive coordinator. A real one dipsticks. This is just hysterically bad. Nice punt by the way. What are we paying that guy. 50 million? Give him a raise
November 9th, 2014 at 3:11 pm
McClown is 35 years old…stiff…moves like a stiff…is stiff…The GBoyz otta make L&L suit up and go on the field the 2nd half….
November 9th, 2014 at 3:11 pm
i’m positive I can punt better than Koenen hashtagitsabucslife
November 9th, 2014 at 3:11 pm
TV guy just panned the Bucs bench and there was Bowers again, appeared to be eating chicken mcnuggets…eating them like popcorn. Even tossed one up high and caught it in his mouth like a sea lion.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:12 pm
i don’t understand wtf happened to koenen.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:14 pm
It’s like a Bigfoot sighting.
Bucs defense with a 3 and out.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:15 pm
can we get a flag for running into our own fair catch guy?
November 9th, 2014 at 3:16 pm
Lets pile on the punter…he should be trying to out kick his coverage and letting Hester try to run it back on us…again..geniuses.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:16 pm
Overall a very bad football team.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:17 pm
I thought the Falcons D has been giving up over 400 yds per game? They look like the ‘steel curtain’ against us
November 9th, 2014 at 3:19 pm
No really guys….we’re getting better.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:19 pm
Guess what? I lied.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:20 pm
Joe’s “manbeast” and man crush up to his old tricks!
November 9th, 2014 at 3:20 pm
Time to run the wild cat.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:20 pm
@Shane Marco or just kick it out of the endzone and gain 15 yards… genius
November 9th, 2014 at 3:21 pm
nice tight throws
November 9th, 2014 at 3:23 pm
It’s this really the sane QB from the first three games?
November 9th, 2014 at 3:24 pm
nice pushoff evans
November 9th, 2014 at 3:24 pm
Mccown is the man!
November 9th, 2014 at 3:24 pm
Very nice drive McCown. Impressive!
November 9th, 2014 at 3:24 pm
It sure is nice to see some scrambling ability from the QB position.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:24 pm
While McCown is not the QB of our future, I don’t want to hear any more about Glennon. Lovie made the right choice in the starter. That is unless we’re tanking for top 3 pick
November 9th, 2014 at 3:25 pm
Hellllll yeahhhh evans
November 9th, 2014 at 3:25 pm
nice evans careful on the pushoffs though
November 9th, 2014 at 3:25 pm
mccown throwin some nice passes.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:26 pm
Special teams is absolutely atrocious.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:26 pm
Nice special teams
November 9th, 2014 at 3:26 pm
Special teams SUCK!
November 9th, 2014 at 3:26 pm
Gotta admit McCown looks decent.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:26 pm
I’m wondering how many sacks Glennon would have taken by now…….
November 9th, 2014 at 3:27 pm
Just look at third down conversion rates between mccowns starts and Glennons starts. It basically tells the entire story.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:27 pm
I’m not saying he’s lighting it up, but at least he isn’t fu#%ing it up.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:27 pm
Give the man some protection and lets see what happens. To the fairness of McCown, he has never gotten the protection the same as Glennon. NO QB can throw a ball after setting up to pass. Draft a QB will not change the protection problems we have.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:28 pm
That’s what it’s supposed to look like, Glennon is done the bucs are drafting a quarterback never year and Glennon will remain the backup until there’s an offer for him or his contact expires, who’s foolish enough to think his trade value is high
November 9th, 2014 at 3:28 pm
All you idiots screaming for a qb for first pick. Pretty sure Matt Ryan is a franchise qb and they’re not winning either.
What does that tell you morons?
Crickets crickets!!!!!
November 9th, 2014 at 3:29 pm
JC bucs are gonna give up points now
November 9th, 2014 at 3:29 pm
Foster sucks
November 9th, 2014 at 3:29 pm
it’s sooooo easy to get into field goal range against this team!!
November 9th, 2014 at 3:30 pm
The Hawk SUCKS!
GOD HE JUST SUCKS!
November 9th, 2014 at 3:30 pm
you’re not really serious, are you?
November 9th, 2014 at 3:31 pm
Why the f—k do they continue to punt @ Hester.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:31 pm
^^^^^^and here’s one of the idiots now
November 9th, 2014 at 3:31 pm
lmfao smh
November 9th, 2014 at 3:33 pm
This team is so depressing.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:33 pm
Offense has been good enough, defense and special teams again with the letdowns. Should be 17-10 if not for a heinous drop by Hester.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:34 pm
kevin, you aint the anything except, the moron.
your opinion sucks
November 9th, 2014 at 3:34 pm
Lovie Smith is the real idiot….2 weeks in a row he tries to ice a kicker in the first half of a game…like it’s some game winning kick or something….then they both miss…only to hit the next one.
What a bafoon!
November 9th, 2014 at 3:34 pm
Should be tied at the half, that was ridiculous letting them get into field goal range with 32 seconds left. We cannot stop teams from constantly doing this.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:34 pm
Atlanta could be only 1 game back too with the Saints losing. This division is absolute trash.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:35 pm
@”TheKevin”
I’m with you. Unless we can draft a QB that can block and throw at the same time, it’ll be STUPID to draft a QB behind this line.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:35 pm
“Should be 17-10 if not for a heinous drop by Hester.”
that would be 20-10, then.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:35 pm
oops, nevermind
November 9th, 2014 at 3:36 pm
Painful to watch how far this team has fallen.. from last year
November 9th, 2014 at 3:36 pm
Is it me or are most if not all of the quarterbacks drafted the same year as Glennon on the bench
November 9th, 2014 at 3:36 pm
lovie has his line!
he transformed the offensive line and defensive line. WE NEED A QB with the first pick. understand?
November 9th, 2014 at 3:37 pm
L&L
November 9th, 2014 at 3:37 pm
I would draft a QB in the first round if the NFL come up with the rule of no touching of the QB.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:38 pm
Koenan is in on the tank job. They’ll make this game look good for us though.
They really do want to win, you can just tell. (sarcasm)
This is evaluation time. 8 more games until the draft.
I’m thinking about a name change though. Perhaps 87ForJameisOrMariota!
November 9th, 2014 at 3:39 pm
Atlanta is not going to let this score last long….Team Pride
November 9th, 2014 at 3:40 pm
Same
November 9th, 2014 at 3:40 pm
Mccown is proving that despite bad pass blocking, a qb can still make plays. Mariota and Winston can avoid pass rushers and make plays with their legs. A well rounded qb can avoid the rush and make plays out of nothing. Something Glennon can not do. And is something the 2 top rookie prospects can do.

that would be 20-10, then-

So they get credit for 10 points on that drive? Pretty sure they can’t kick that FG if Hester catches the pass.

____________________________________________________________
They still got the FG so it’s only 4 more points.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:42 pm
Why do people hate koenen so much? He’s just doing what he’s told. Lunt short so they can’t get a return on us. Lovie has no trust in our coverage teams so he has koenen punt it short so they can’t return it. It makes the punt -0 yards shorter but it keeps them from returning it. Which breaks it about even, after return yards are accounted for.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:43 pm
The line can be fixed next season in the first then…if 2 franchise quarterbacks are out there in the draft. There’s no need to pass up the chance and HOPE we get that shot again at another one down the line…
You have to be drafting high to get one. So maybe we suck next year too if we pass on on O-lineman…but that can work either way if we take a rookie QB and not the lineman…either way O line can be addressed in later rounds and in the 2016 draft. Hopefully we are not drafting that high next season.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:43 pm
Nice HIGH TD pass today. No pass hitting the DB in the back.
Nice 1st down pick up by McCown today too.
Glennon take note…
November 9th, 2014 at 3:45 pm
@TheKevin @Buxfan
Are you two serious? Do you know anything at all about football. Why do you think there’s an offseason in football, could it have something to do with upgrading the roster before each season? Matt Ryan has a horrible line just like us but the fans don’t complain because he’s a real franchise quarterback and they are losing because they’re defense sucks, we have more sacks than them

Team started 0-8 last season and wasn’t competitive in the majority of them. This team has had every game decided by the final drive except for two games. I’m pretty sure you’re and idiot if you truly believe that nonsense.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:47 pm
Cause on 3rd and 3, playing 6 yards off is the right call…

So you build up an O-line and get a mediocre QB behind them and have 7-9 seasons never having a shot for a long while for a possible franchise QB, because you’re drafting so low.
No thanks. Take one of those 2 QB’s I don’t care which one anymore, but it BETTER be one of the 2.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:48 pm
Don’t worry Bucs fans this game will be over soon.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:51 pm
17-4 jets. go jets.
go raiders vs broncos
November 9th, 2014 at 3:51 pm
17-3…damn fingers
November 9th, 2014 at 3:54 pm
I figured out why the stadium looks so empty. It’s “Honor the Veterans” day so a lot of our fans are decked out in camouflage. They’re there but you just can’t see them.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:55 pm
nfl network had a redraft of the top 10 players based upon the first half of the season.
http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/0ap3000000424403/Top-10-2014-draft-do-over
2 raiders rookies make the top 10 redraft.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:57 pm
has Atlanta punted yet?….classic Tampa 2…bend but don’t break…count on other teams converting 3rd and longs all day on this defense
November 9th, 2014 at 3:57 pm
wow, that’s a stat.
November 9th, 2014 at 3:58 pm
“Bucs 0-15 on 3rd down in second half of last 4 games”
November 9th, 2014 at 3:59 pm
a QB that can scramble.
what a viewing relief.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:00 pm
See Glennon. That’s how you scramble for a first down.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:02 pm
ref missed holding or PA on that anyway
November 9th, 2014 at 4:02 pm
it sure is nice when the ball finally bounces your way…
good concentration vJax
November 9th, 2014 at 4:02 pm
That;s why hes a DB and not a WR lol horrible dropped pick 6.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:02 pm
*PI
November 9th, 2014 at 4:03 pm
well well nice brake for us
November 9th, 2014 at 4:03 pm
and the football gods like mccown today.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:03 pm
hooray!!!!!!!!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:03 pm
well well not a brake for us
November 9th, 2014 at 4:03 pm
Is rainey hurt?
November 9th, 2014 at 4:03 pm
but don’t like sims
November 9th, 2014 at 4:04 pm
yes!….play like you want that overall pick!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:05 pm
Not a good beginning to the Sims era.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:05 pm
its the rooks’ first game.
I’ll give him a pass on that one ONLY because its his first game…. He’s looked ok the other times he’s touched the ball.
Bucs are a far more competitive team with McCown….
What say you MGM?
November 9th, 2014 at 4:05 pm
well, that should just about rap it up……..have a good day fellas
November 9th, 2014 at 4:06 pm
*wrap
November 9th, 2014 at 4:06 pm
Brandon sorry this team has $55mil spent on free agents and is no better than last years team. You’re listening to Lovie to much. This team is really bad.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:07 pm
Football gods corrected the McClown pick 6 with a fumble recovery for the FalCoons.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:07 pm
“Bucs are a far more competitive team with McCown….”
true
and inspired as someone else stated earlier.
vjax is ballin today, too.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:08 pm
They are losing and its not as close as the score indicates. More competitive? Looks like the same sorry ass undisciplined team its been all year.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:08 pm
These two teams are very bad and I am very bored. The temperature is still nice so that’s a plus.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:08 pm
Five more yards
November 9th, 2014 at 4:09 pm
wow
November 9th, 2014 at 4:09 pm
Atlanta is horrible, so saying they’re more competitve with McCown is very relative. If this was Green Bay it’d be 34-7.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:10 pm
Who is that masked man?
A 53 yard punt return?
Are you kidding me?
November 9th, 2014 at 4:12 pm
If you’re not seeing the team play more competitive and, as someone state earlier, insprired, then you’re just blindly hating every decision coach makes.
Offense is playing better, defense has been improving (over the past 3 weeks) and special teams actually made a decent play just now.
But its not. It’s Atlanta. You can only play who is on your schedule.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:13 pm
mike evans is the man
November 9th, 2014 at 4:13 pm
That’s what the fu$k I’m talking about. Go Bucs
November 9th, 2014 at 4:15 pm
Run that ish Rainey
November 9th, 2014 at 4:15 pm
So great Celly, we’ve gone from definitely the worst teams in the league to one of the 3 worst in the league. Improvement, sweet….
November 9th, 2014 at 4:16 pm
If you’re not seeing the team play more competitive and, as someone state earlier, insprired, then you’re just blindly hating every decision coach makes.
——————
Stop pulling stuff out your ass. I didn’t say one thing about Lovie. They are playing a horrible defense and they have 10 points at home. That is bad. They also keep screwing themselves. Defense can’t stop anyone when its 3rd and long.
I am entitled to my opinions just like you are entitled to stay blind. That is all.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:16 pm
td buccaneers!
too soon?
November 9th, 2014 at 4:17 pm
I’m not sure how much more I can take, to be honest.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:17 pm
So what would make you happy? For us to just keep sucking and never improve? Tank for the 1st round pick?
Jesus, some of you just want to complain for complaining sake.
As you can see, the running game can work when you have a QB that the defense is threatened can actually pass. Defenses like to stack the box against bad QBs….
hint hint.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:18 pm
soon to be 17 points couch!
also, atlanta ONLY has 16 points vs our defense…lol
improvement, indeed.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:19 pm
Fire those cannons!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:19 pm
nice
November 9th, 2014 at 4:19 pm
@Couch…
so i’m guessing you expect the defense to pitch a shutout every game?
stick to Madden.
TD ASJ. watch them celebrations, though.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:19 pm
lol, asf doin the cpt morgan
November 9th, 2014 at 4:20 pm
oops, 15 yards
November 9th, 2014 at 4:21 pm
@ Celly, I got your back on this Bro.
Couchfann…… Is a POPCORN FART!!!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:21 pm
We’re still a horrible football team, celebrating going from amazingly bad to just bad is not worth celebrating. When we get to mediocre then we can talk about improvement. But Atlanta is awful and they still have a quarter to win.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:21 pm
And joe really wondered why you start mccown over Glennon? The answer is painfully obvious. Mccown gives his team the best chance to win.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:23 pm
That man wearing #12 on the sidelines is looking luke a leader today.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:23 pm
That’s a f#*$@&% penalty? Are you kidding me? The NFL will be flag football in 10 years. What a joke. A positive turns into a negative. Bucs football in 2014.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:23 pm
No one is saying we’re a great team, or even a good team.
Guess what, though. You don’t go from horrible to great over night.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:24 pm
Can the defense get a stop?
November 9th, 2014 at 4:24 pm
We could use a turnover right here.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:24 pm
Lol this game is going the same way every other loss has gone this year for the most part. We trail all game. Make a 4th Qrt comeback just to lose in the end usually do to our own stupidity.
Let’s see if im wrong.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:24 pm
jets pounding on steelers. 20-3.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:25 pm
Nice to see a real Qb guiding this team
November 9th, 2014 at 4:25 pm
Can ASJ do something good without doing something bad to make up for it??
November 9th, 2014 at 4:25 pm
Funny how every fan though we would lose 50- 3 again and when we do well, hey say it’s because Falcons are garbage. You just can’t please some fans. His team is better with Mccown at qb. And is much better than it was to start the season. Baby steps are still steps in the right direction.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:25 pm
And thats why its relative. Improvement is relative to competition level. If they improve when the games get tougher, then we can talk about improvement. But Atlanta is one their way to taking the lead again, so improvement may still involve losing. Hard to say it’s really improving to lose by less. It’s still losing.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:26 pm
“No one is saying we’re a great team, or even a good team.”
i think you and others said “improved” and “inspired”.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:26 pm
Best back to back coverage please all year.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:27 pm
Plays
November 9th, 2014 at 4:28 pm
How bad is this defense on third down? Good god.
Go Sucs!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:29 pm
hope Banks is not injured
November 9th, 2014 at 4:30 pm
good response by the D here……..smh
November 9th, 2014 at 4:30 pm
If the Bucs win and Jets win we are not getting 1st pick. Also, QB by committee anyone? Oh, and we need a RB bad. How is the QB the lead rusher? He ain’t no Vick.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:31 pm
nice phantom flag there
November 9th, 2014 at 4:32 pm
are ou f*cking kidding me with that hands to the face penalty?
November 9th, 2014 at 4:32 pm
What a terrible call. Refs are a joke
November 9th, 2014 at 4:32 pm
Very poorly coached team. Amazing how every time we score we draw a penalty for unsportsmanlike. Then a big hit made on an injured Hester at the 35 and we’re celebrating… that is a 1-7 team ladies and gentleman
November 9th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
Love smith doesn’t challenge that? Terrible coach.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
exactly, but people are going to be blind to that.
So by that logic, losing by 40 and keeping the game competitive all the way to the end is the same thing.
gotcha.
Absolutely. This is the same team that lit us for 50+ last time we played. I was in the stadium watching that monstrosity.
Improved/inspired doesn’t necessarily mean good/great. it means better than before.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
ASJ’s selfish penalty gave up 15 yards of field position… And the lead back to Atlanta.
There is just no discipline on this team. Starts from the top
November 9th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
Guess the refs decided to give the Falcons one
November 9th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
Lovie should of challenged that.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
you welcome ——the refs
November 9th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
Let’s see what McCown can do.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:34 pm
I swear, it seems like Atlanta never gets called for pick plays.
smh.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:34 pm
this defense is worthless….a bunch of gutless overpaid hacks
November 9th, 2014 at 4:34 pm
ZERO f**king playmakers on this defense. ZERO!
Can’t stop a damn thing. No marbles!
Embarrassment!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:34 pm
The nfl is a joke
November 9th, 2014 at 4:35 pm
DO we get style points for losing? Is this the BCS? We’re about to be 1-8, exact same as we were last year. This is improvement in Bucs land. Goddamn we’re in for a long rebuild.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:35 pm
on our way to the number 1 pick overall!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:36 pm
hard to get a “w” going against the falcons and refs!
couldn’t challenge the fumble because refs ruled forward progress was stopped.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:36 pm
Can’t chalkenge it. Refs decided to call “stopped forward progress”. No reviewable.
Guess The Fuhrer Godell ordered the refs to let the Falcons win this one.
Thankfully- they can dictate the winner easily.
You just saw how easy it was to give a team a TD
November 9th, 2014 at 4:36 pm
I hope Mike Smith thanks the refs for that BS flag on Banks!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:37 pm
Our offense is terrible
November 9th, 2014 at 4:37 pm
Love needs to get on down the road
November 9th, 2014 at 4:37 pm
Congrats Lovie on 1-8 and sticking to your guns on defense. No reason to change what is working so well. I think the Cover 2 is great!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:37 pm
Another asinine illegal contact call on Banks.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:38 pm
refs have too much power. and i thought baseball was bad.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:39 pm
The refs are controlling this game
November 9th, 2014 at 4:40 pm
I’m hoping for another loss and continuing to “improve” our draft position. That’s the only thing that’s consistently improving
November 9th, 2014 at 4:42 pm
Koenen better be cut after this game. This is rediculous
November 9th, 2014 at 4:42 pm
And the tanking begins
November 9th, 2014 at 4:42 pm
We need a new punter.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:42 pm
Final Score! 31-17. What a Joke. Lovie! You suck balls!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:43 pm
Will the Glazerhouses please explain this team’s ineptitude to their fans before week 17?????? Or will will they meet with a local paper hack and answer softball questions at the end of the season? I am an EX season ticket holder, and will not give this team my hard earned $$$ until they earn it!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:43 pm
Okay D, we gotta make a big play.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:43 pm
no hester, so why short punt?
koenenites?
November 9th, 2014 at 4:43 pm
smmfh.
stupid play call.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:43 pm
ball game……..I f-ing hate everyone…..have a good night
November 9th, 2014 at 4:44 pm
McClown is such a puss!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:44 pm
I think the Bucs have a signal they put out that tells the team to collapse. Like a reverse bat signal.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:44 pm
It’s Glennon Time! Down 14 in the 4th qtr. This should end well…..
November 9th, 2014 at 4:45 pm
omg please cut Koenen
November 9th, 2014 at 4:45 pm
Here comes the pea shooter, I meant cannon.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:45 pm
I tell you what you have to be an absolute clown to go see this team play….scratch that…LOSER
November 9th, 2014 at 4:45 pm
is glennon the answer?
November 9th, 2014 at 4:47 pm
Piss poor bush league defense
November 9th, 2014 at 4:47 pm
I see the falcon owner where is our owner or owners
November 9th, 2014 at 4:47 pm
Pathetic! This defense is so played out. Bad play calling, bad coaching and no depth whatsoever. I will never spend any money on this team until they FIRE Lovie.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:47 pm
He is if the question is who is not an nfl starting qb
November 9th, 2014 at 4:48 pm
This team sucks because the Glazer boys suck…soon as pops started needing his a** wiped they have decimated this team….wimpy leaders bread a wimpy culture…
November 9th, 2014 at 4:49 pm
Turn out the lights,the party is over.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:49 pm
Soggy
You are dead on!!!
Where the F are our “owners”?
In Manchester?????
November 9th, 2014 at 4:50 pm
That rollout playcall on 3rd and 2 was retarded. We dont have fast wrs and you cut off 1/2 the field.
McCown still should have gotten rid of that ball oob and not taken the hit.
Rifht here we need a fast strike. A wheel right to Sims or Murphy will work great.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:50 pm
Established in 1976, the NFL welcomed a team to the league that was meant to lose year in and year out. The Tampa Bay Yucs!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:51 pm
self destrucking or just tanking for sure..
November 9th, 2014 at 4:52 pm
Lovie has lost the proverbial “room”
November 9th, 2014 at 4:52 pm
Yep,We’re a bad team!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:53 pm
Is there a team in the NFL that is top-to-bottom as bas as we are?
This is embarrassing
November 9th, 2014 at 4:53 pm
destructing^^
November 9th, 2014 at 4:53 pm
Bad teams find ways to lose. We are a very bad team, we will always find a way to lose.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:55 pm
Hey Goodell….
Remember when the NFL restricted owners from owning other sports teams?????
Thanks for nothing! Glad the NFL gets to keep their tax exempt status!
Hope your dream of a team in London fails!!!!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:56 pm
Brian is here Joel is in London. Enough of the stupid know nothings bashing the Glaziers for no reason.
Got to review that call.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:56 pm
What a sh!t show this team is, Lovie can’t even throw the red flag effectively
November 9th, 2014 at 4:56 pm
he was legal
foot can be in the air.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:57 pm
HAHA of course we make a great play only for it to be wiped out by a penalty.
The life expectancy for Bucs fans probably isn’t that high I imagine?
November 9th, 2014 at 4:57 pm
HAHA of course we make a great play only for it to be wiped out by a penalty.
The life expectancy for Bucs fans probably isn’t that high I imagine?
November 9th, 2014 at 4:57 pm
Dam the Refs are working hard to screw the Bucs!
November 9th, 2014 at 4:58 pm
another play glennon couldn’t make.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:58 pm
Josh Mccown continues to make plays on third down. It amazing the difference between Mccown and Glennon on third downs.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:58 pm
Did Pereira just vindicate the Bucs??
November 9th, 2014 at 4:58 pm
Glad to see the McClown decision worked out today.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:58 pm
how did they just call the penalty instead of reviewing the play? His back leg was clearly behind the line. WTF I swear all refs just hate the bucs. Always have. Not that it would have mattered but the call was more BS than the hands to the face on Banks.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:58 pm
I’ve had enough – I want Lovie out. He’s garbage.
He’s no different than any of the other “quiet leaders” on this team. A defensive minded coach w a bad defense is just a waste. He’s gotta go.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:59 pm
This officiating crew is obviously crooked! How else can you explain SO many horrible calls?
November 9th, 2014 at 4:59 pm
no takes the lead and steelers down by 7. hang on jets.
November 9th, 2014 at 4:59 pm
I always thought it was where the ball was relative to the LOS when the pass was thrown….
November 9th, 2014 at 5:00 pm
Hey Culverglazers…..will the “Buccaneers” be playing at Wembly or Old Trafford when you move them to the UK? I can think of no other reason you would accept this level of performance for 10 years.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:00 pm
Glad we aren’t going to waste a win today. But these refs were horribly 1 sided.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:00 pm
The bucs lost this game.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:00 pm
What has the buccaneers done to the refs? Every game we are not only playing the other team and ourselves, but the refs too. It’s so blatantly obvious too.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:01 pm
HLDONG ON TO THE BALL TOO DAMNED LONG!!!!!!!!
November 9th, 2014 at 5:01 pm
Fire the punter,fire the defensive coordinator,fire the head coach,and hire a new head coach that doesn’t play zone defense by whatever name it maybe called.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:02 pm
mike is the man
November 9th, 2014 at 5:02 pm
F–ck the jets they don’t even play in their home state.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:03 pm
Same effing ref! Telling you the guy is crooked!
November 9th, 2014 at 5:03 pm
Screw these refs. Pathetic
November 9th, 2014 at 5:03 pm
How does a ref miss that..
November 9th, 2014 at 5:03 pm
Zebras just calling plays against Tampa Bay by reflex??
November 9th, 2014 at 5:03 pm
These refs are terrible.. These refs are terribly biased…These refs suck!
November 9th, 2014 at 5:03 pm
Great decision McClown made all the difference.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:04 pm
I want the name of that gray haired ref! I want to research him!
November 9th, 2014 at 5:04 pm
Mccown is on point. Third down magic man.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:04 pm
Again refs are horrible!! Home do you pick up a defensive holding call. Then miss an obvious catch.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
bad refereeing.
rooting for the jets to get their win to improve our draft chances at a qb.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
Are we to blame if we lose probably but one thing is for sure the refs are not on our side
November 9th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
Mdc1965…Culverglazers…LOL….but hey…at least we could watch the Bucs @ 9 in the morning…and get on with the rest of a beautiful Florida fall day….
November 9th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
Does the officiating crew get fined cuz damn the suck
November 9th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
There’s the red in mike smiths pocket! Lol
November 9th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
@stangldoosh…the glazers deserve every bit of bashing they get. this screwed this team the minute they overpaid for Manu…gutted the team (year they sent Brooks and every ounce of leadership and connection to our culture packing) and have been floundering ever since…we don’t owe the SPIT….if you have a problem the reality of what is…then so be it enjoy YOUR dope show….
November 9th, 2014 at 5:06 pm
Our Oline still is horrible. Still glad we’re not gonna win.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:06 pm
These refs su(k!
November 9th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
That is a pick. Horrible decision by McCown, not like it would have mattered.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
Piss poor
November 9th, 2014 at 5:09 pm
interception, crap.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:10 pm
Ok maybe he’s not crooked, just overwhelmingly incompetent! Same guy again blows yet another call on that Atlanta pick!
November 9th, 2014 at 5:10 pm
Hey..that Ref #15….that blew the last 2 calls..one for the Bucs and one for the “Coons….used to blow calls all the time in Buc games years ago….he had longer hair..but same azz clown !
November 9th, 2014 at 5:10 pm
Losers
November 9th, 2014 at 5:12 pm
Bad decision. The int wasn’t his fault but the throw was not a good idea. Good game Mccown. I think he’s earned his job for this year, and cemented Glennon as the back up the rest of the year.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:12 pm
Well, I guess the Winston watch is officially in full effect. It seems pretty obvious that we should get either the 1st or 2nd pick in the draft.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:12 pm
Refs want us to get the first overall draft pick
November 9th, 2014 at 5:12 pm
Next week might be the last chance to win for the year. After Washington it’s Chicago, Cincy, Detroit, Carolina, Green Bay and New Orleans.
November 9th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
Hey we’ve improved from atrocious to horribly mediocre! At least they have bettered their draft position! Got some cushion now on the dirty birds!
November 9th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
Defense gets a stop!
November 9th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
Hey joe keep it real these refs suck
November 9th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
Hey clowns, it’s not the refs fault. There are bad calls in every game. Simply put the Bucs are the worst team in football. Lovie is the worst coach in football. Licht is the worst GM in the league and the Glazers are the worst owners in the NFL. Nothing will change until the Glazer boys sell this team. Go Lightning!!
November 9th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
McCown has thrown for MORE Ints than TD’s this season.
But LOVIE wants to go with McClown.

We are the worst team in the NFL. And BTW, the NFL is boring and sucks compared to college.mim over it. See you at the draft.

Poorly coached and an embarrassment. Sunday is for fishing around here. Probably the worse form of entertainment in the area!

Yeah thanks joe and tampa media, glazers. we actually took a step backwards with your new coach. What a waste of a year. Who hires a coach and takes a step backwards while still owing previous coach 3 years on contract.

Did Jackson touch the ball first? If he did, and didn’t establish himself inbounds, that was not a pick.

Outclassed by one of the worst teams in the league. Looks like a Broadway show set up for the NFL.

Game over.

This team still sucks, but … Whatever this offense is, it’s better with McCown, his mobility and (generally superior) accuracy
