Redskins 31, Buccaneers 30
October 25th, 2015
The Bucs did today what garbage football teams do.
They found a way to lose, make a crappy quarterback look like a legend, and choked up a 24-0 lead, courtesy of garbage defense, endless penalties and a secondary that flat out stinks.
The Redskins have never in their storied history had that big of a comeback. Think about that.
The Bucs made so many mistakes, from failing miserably on an onside kick to all those personal fouls, and so much more.
Are the sloppy Bucs taking on the identity of their head coach?
They sure seem to be.
If the Bucs can’t beat Washington with a 24-point lead, then who can they beat.
Joe is freakin’ depressed. Stay tuned for plenty on this game, including reaction from the sad Bucs locker room.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:21 pm
FIRE LOVIE NOW!!!!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:21 pm
This is the last straw for Lovie. The Glazers lose all respect from this fanbase if they allow a coach who yet again got abused by the opposing coach. After a 24 point lead I might add. No sir, inexcusable. You don’t have a hair on your balls Glazer if you don’t get rid of the Lovie circus. What is he going to say at the post game presser. Hey, you know we had our chances. Oh, coach you mean lik ethe one on 4th and goal from the 2. But you’d rather kick a FG when your defense sucked hind tit all 2nd half. He’s got to be gone. Biggest comeback win in Redskin history just happened. We are the laughing stock. No coach deserves to survive that.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:21 pm
Lovies d stinks. He went from sitting pretty at half to back in the very hot seat. He plays to lose.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:22 pm
We’re gonna be fine….once we fire Lovie! Jameis is going to be great, but only when Lovie is gone.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:22 pm
They didn’t look too sad to me walking off the field, laughing and hugging the redskins.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:22 pm
Fire lovie! I’m tired of his incompetent azz.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:23 pm
I HATE FOOTBALL!!! What a waste of time.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:23 pm
I’m done, until they fire that piss poor excuse for coach.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:23 pm
The area in between the LBs and Safeties is always open. No fail. Today it was clear why that happens, the secondary doesn’t know whom to cover. I can see it, opposing D-coordinators see it, why can’t Lovie? Jenkins needs to be a practice squad guy and they’ve turned Alterron into a Dumb F***! Sheesh.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:23 pm
that game was on the defense. LVD and GMC are not worthy…
October 25th, 2015 at 4:24 pm
#fir#firelovie
October 25th, 2015 at 4:24 pm
Well that was it. Needed to win that one. You’re right Joe, if they can’t beat the Redskins, they can’t beat anyone and might as well tank the rest of the season. With how tough the schedule gets, it’s over.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:24 pm
#FireLovieNow
October 25th, 2015 at 4:24 pm
But guys, the Bucs beat the Jags! How quickly we forget.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:24 pm
Losers…players and coaches are losers. Seen enough. I am done. I will return after love is fired.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:24 pm
Kicking that field goal at the end is what gutless coaches do. You go for that every time.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:24 pm
If Lovie’s here next week, I won’t be.
The Glazer boys need to grow a sack like their dad had and can some people.
Siege this you f’ing bastards!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
Depressed? That’s a major understatement! The better team won.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
Florida State won the national championship by trusting Jameis Winston. Twice down in the redzone they took the ball out of his hands and settled for field goals. This was the type of game we drafted Jameis to win for us. Coaching lost this game. Having said that, what the hell happened to the d-line in the 4th quarter? Where was our supper star hero pro bowler Gerald McCoy? I say we put him on a milk carton.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
Defense is horrible.. Will be drafting heavy to replenish. Corners are bad never around the ball. Players are just bad..
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
Dirk for interim HC
Forget the fact that we were down receivers. The defense…LOVIES DEFENSE, coughed up a 24 point lead. I am about done with this garbage.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
Incompetent Lovie Smith, please tell me more about how it is just one game again? I really liked that lovable Lovie story of hope and cupcakes!!!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
Give it Koetter he’s done marvels with the O. Lovie couldn’t manage a pissup in a brewery
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
That was the most disgusting Bucs loss I’ve ever witnessed. Been in Lovie’s camp since he was hired, but no longer … he needs to go. The Bucs defense is officially a farce, and that’s on Lovie. The penalties are beyond comprehension, and that’s on Lovie. Clock mismanagement continues to happen every week, and that’s on Lovie. And his conservative coaching (1st-and-goal on the 5 yd line with 2 mins to play, you’re up by 3 pts and you end up settling for a FG? YGBSM) cost us another game. I’ve just never seen anything like that. Unbelievable!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
FIRE LOVIE SMITH RIGHT NOW !!!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
Still giving us a terrible product. Always on the wrong side if record. How embarrassing it is to be a fan of the bad news bears of the NFL. This defense is soft and very confused. Writing is on the wall.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
Don’t let lovie come back to Tampa, fire him right now
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
FVCK U REFS & FVCK U LOVIE & FVCK U BUCS!!!!!!! U ruined an amazing day I was having, once again!!!!!! EAT $H!T, I’m out.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:25 pm
RELAX. Everyone knows real football doesn’t start until November. Next week, everything changes!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:26 pm
He’s as clueless as he appears in the photo.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:26 pm
Whatever….you sorry fans deserve it!!!! Loser fans for sure!!!! Intended for the posers!!! We need to start out numbering the trolls… To much stupid negative energy for sure!!!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:27 pm
How much more can the Glazers take of seeing teams do something against us every week that they’ve never done before. Lovie is pure garbage. His defense is pure garbage. We’ve been thoroughly embarrised to many times with his beyond conservative approach. I hate firing coaches after such a short time but clearly is not the guy going forward. Schiano was fired after a miserable season but his teams never played this poorly all the time. Stay consistent and fire Lovie now.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:27 pm
Who has the #### to the billboard company. Looks like we need some #FireLovie boards to go up.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:27 pm
Penalties and no defensive pressure = superstars. At least you can’t blame Jameis for this loss. Way to give a bad team some relevance. Can’t believe we choked on this one. SMH.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:27 pm
Koetter would make a better HC at this point. This game was totally mismanaged. I’ve been a big fan of Lovie through the years but whatever he had with the Bears is gone now; the game has absolutely passed him by.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:27 pm
Mid-2nd qtr leads are all Bonzai and 87 need to start prosteletising in Incompetent Lovie Smith’s favor.
Much has been said this week and today
October 25th, 2015 at 4:27 pm
Lovie is too soft which makes our Defense weak. It doesn’t work but Lovie doesn’t care because he still thinks he’s in Chicago. We have NO DEFENSIVE ATTITUDE and NO TEAM IDENTITY which makes the Bucs garbage.
I’m about done with this team all together.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:28 pm
If you support Lovie as coach, you support being a total loser. Enjoy wasting Jameis with Lovie the loser.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:28 pm
Lovie Smith is the best coach in the NFL 😉
October 25th, 2015 at 4:28 pm
Jab83 your a moron. Fans are passionate, and after today’s loss we have every right to be outraged.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:29 pm
This over paid defense is pathetic. This scheme for this defensive guru is just BS coverage some 3rd grader came up with. I’m not to concerned about the offense. But we need a new coach with up to date defense.
Fire love today not tomorrow but today!!!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:29 pm
JAB83 – Why call out fans for being pissed because we lost? Whats up with that?
October 25th, 2015 at 4:29 pm
RU fn kidding me!!!! Pathetic!!!! Im wore out rooting for these aholes! Bucs suck!!!!$
October 25th, 2015 at 4:29 pm
Our problem is our big money players are not very good, period. Gerald McCoy is useless and did not make one play the entire game except a penalty of course. Joe you like to defend him and say he is never in a pass rush situation. Well that was 2 and half quarters of pass rush situations and. ………? As usual nothing!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:29 pm
I’M DONE WITH THIS SITE AND EVERYTHING BUCCANEERS UNTIL WE FIRE LOVIE SMITH ! GOOD BYE AND GOOD LUCK !!!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:29 pm
Hahahaha. Bucs suck no matter who the coaches are. Loved the last play. Go skins.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:29 pm
They lost for 2 reasons
Penalties
And absolutely no pass defense — which all starts with pressure. Cousins had all damn day
October 25th, 2015 at 4:30 pm
THIS GAME TASTES LIKE A BIG CUP OF PHUCQ!!!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:30 pm
No pass rush+ bad secondary = Tampa Bay’s defense. I was loooking for Lovie to, take a shot at a TD on 4th down instead of a worthless FG. Holding the Skins to a FG would have only sent the game to OT. We cannot afford to be conservative.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:30 pm
I hope they fire Lovie when they get back to Tampa. There is no excuse for the defense to be that awful. Make Dirk the head coach and try again next year.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:30 pm
@JAB,
At some point negativity is warrented…
Lovie lost it for us. Poor coaching = todays nonsense.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:30 pm
Not only did our defense stink….just like they have in every game this year. The officials flags against us in the second half to aid the redskins made me sick. Im not only done with this team until koetter is promoted to head coach. I am almost done watching this league. There is zero accountability for these officials. Its a joke and a complete waste of my time. I would rather wax my ball hairs than watch this league anymore….I will be back when there is some integrity in the game. The flags in the second half were obvious evidence that this league has an agenda to ensure that our team has a losing record every season. Yes out defense stunk the second half but after 150 yards in penalties how can you expect our players on defense to do anything but play soft. Iys a complete joke
October 25th, 2015 at 4:31 pm
I can not believe the f#@king choke job of a game I just witnessed…..fire F#@ky smith right now….not right now but right f#@king now!!!!!!! F#@king garbage!!!!! I have never been so pissed in my life!!!!! If ya wanna set an NFL record just line up against the bucs….oh I’m sorry the f#cs!!!! The must points ever overcome by in franchise history…..are you f#@king kidding me????
October 25th, 2015 at 4:31 pm
Fire Lovie
October 25th, 2015 at 4:31 pm
First and goal at the 5. Three failed chances to get it into the endzone. Had to kick a field goal to go up by 6 points.
When this happened, I knew the Bucs would lose. And it does look like this team goes out of its way to lose games.
I even figured that when the Bucs were up 24-0 that they would find a way to lose. And they did.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:31 pm
Well said Scotty. I am sick of the softness. Where is the intensity. No one takes it hard when they lose no one gets too excited when they win. I hate Lovie Smith. Penalties go back to coaching we did have the ball on the 2 yard line and couldn’t score a touchdown. We let Kirk Cousins light us up to win the game. Soft, soft, soft, soft. Lovie plays to lose. I’m so embarrassed so hurt so sad so depressed. I don’t know how much longer I can hang in there. Lovie it has got to go. Our secondary is garbage. Handpicked lovie guys from Chicago. They suck!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:31 pm
Did Lavonte David and Gerald McCoy even play today?
October 25th, 2015 at 4:31 pm
Winston played great for having 1 wr…. This defense is our weakness. How they can allow crappy qb’s to pick us apart is astonishing. Maybe it is lovie… I’ve never been a fan of firing lovie, i want to see consistency in our coaching but i am just in awe of how bad our pass defense is. I used to blame the players for getting burnt time and time again, but if the coaches can’t put our players in a position to succeed then it’s the coach’s fault. Too many times today the cb’s were confused on coverage. And we can’t even blame Jennings his week!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:31 pm
I can no longer support lovie smith. Your down to the goal line and on the 2 yard line and you bring in sims who stinks. Where was Martin at the end of the game… and enough of jenkins. 10 yard cushion at the sideline. It is lovie who brought in these garbage players and who continues to stick with them. How many personal fouls must a player get before he is sat down by HC. Washington is a garbage team and once again lovie got to conservative. Fire his ass.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:32 pm
First and goal on the 5…..you absolutely must score a TD……3rd and inches…..why not a sneak…..if we don’t get it….go for it on 4th…instead we pitched back to Sims for a loss…
Koetter called a great game until that play…..sorry….but he has some fault also.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:32 pm
Okay…according to you guys…keep Lovie and we could end up with the first pick again, right?
Fire him and what do you think will happen??? Frazier certainly can’t run hte defense!
The problem today was this:
No extended offensive drives in the first half.
Think about it, people. Because the draft went almost completely on defense the last 2 years, they’ve had to plug defensive holes with aging veterans.
Aging veterans can’t spend so much time on the field without becoming winded. When they get winded, they make mistakes.
Koetter should have managed the time of possession better. He should have given the defense time to rest. And he completely disappeared in the second half.
I’m not saying Lovie is blameless, but this isn’t JUST on him. He had the defense rocking in the first half. That’s a full half better than before.
And what happened to Jameis Winston being a strong game closer????
Plenty of blame to go around on this one. It isn’t only on Lovie.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:32 pm
The Glazers must sense the coming fan revolt, right? Right?
October 25th, 2015 at 4:32 pm
Where the f#@king is the pride in the organization?????
October 25th, 2015 at 4:32 pm
Lovie is the worst head coach, the worst defensive coordinator with the worst scheme and the most undisciplined team in the last 100 years.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:32 pm
Lovie Smith do us all a favor a die you piece of crap! I’m done with this team until he is fired. There is no excuse for this loss. To me this is the worst loss in Buc history. Jameis you suck as well. First class bust. I feel bad for Doug Martin but I’m sure he will be gone after this season. I have never been so embarrassed to be a Bucs fan in my life. Time for the whole defense to walk the plank. For the offense to get shut down with half their defense out of the game is shameful. We deserve better than this
I hope no one shows up to our next game. If you go to the games you continue to show ownership how stupid our fan base is. If no one goes heads will roll. That is the only way we can influence a change otherwise your an idiot
October 25th, 2015 at 4:32 pm
@JAB83… U EAT it too u loooser
October 25th, 2015 at 4:33 pm
Lovie Smith is awesome!!!! 🙂
October 25th, 2015 at 4:33 pm
Two WRs down and Mike Evans was sick on the sideline (amazing how well he played considering he was puking on the sidelines).
October 25th, 2015 at 4:33 pm
More discipline needed, flags every other play. Control your anger for the sake of your team. I like Gholston in the lineup, but he needs to be benched if he keeps getting so many penalties. GMC went Ghost, LVD is not the same player, and Defensive Backs are letting QB records happen every single game..
Winston Looked Way Better.
Evans is alive again. To many PI tho
Martin (aka Dougurnaut)is a monster
Positives is all you can look for in that unbelievable self destruction
October 25th, 2015 at 4:33 pm
Lovie should just quit, what a sorry ass.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:33 pm
This sucks
October 25th, 2015 at 4:34 pm
Bucs should be paying us at this piont for wasting our time making us drink.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:34 pm
I get why people are angry and the defense definitely blew that game but. . . you lose your #2 and #3 receivers, it changes your offense and the way that defenses play you. What should Lovie have done differently there? It’s 4th and 3 on the 3 yard line (score 27-24). I suppose he could have gone for the TD but would that have made any difference in the game if they failed to get the TD? This is a tough loss but this game was decided SOLEY by penalties.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:34 pm
Lovie’s conservative play really screwed us at the end their. Lets face it, though the penalties were what killed us. Tied the franchise record? How may plays wiped out by penalty? Ridiculous. Also, ultimately the head coach’s responsibility, but the players too are professionals. No excuse for that.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:34 pm
Season over. Bye bye Lovie Dovie
October 25th, 2015 at 4:35 pm
Lovie was flat outcoached today. On last field goal, why don’t they fake a handoff and throw the ball. Somebody on the coaching staff lost their balls. Let Jamies use his skills, and Bucs win the game. Even though the defense let the greatest QB to ever play the game , make them look like a high school football team. SAD !
October 25th, 2015 at 4:35 pm
How much more can the Glazers take, someone asked. They can take plenty. Handouts from the community, the paychecks of those who still pay for this deficient product, private jets to the UK, etc. etc. There’s no end to what they can take. They just aren’t cut out to field a winning American football franchise. Please, someone who knows and cares about American football, and who has worked for a living, make an offer on this team.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:35 pm
LMFao so much hate, ARGH!?! and Leafwhich haha
October 25th, 2015 at 4:35 pm
Just stop Bonzai. Your excuse that ” we scored to fast” is just ridiculous. Its laughable.

Wow this guy is a loser, making non-stop excuses for a joke coach.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:35 pm
We definitely need a corner back in the draft, hopefully one like Revis…. Wait a minute….
October 25th, 2015 at 4:35 pm
Just another last-minute, 1-point Bucs loss. Typical. Same ol’ bulls%$^.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:35 pm
@ JaMarcus Leafwhich
Not cool threatening someone online with death threat….hope the police finds and arrests you.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:36 pm
People calling for keotter to be HC… He doesn’t want to be a HC.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:36 pm
Bonzai, sorry man, but this loss is 100% on Lovie. It’s as simple as that.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:36 pm
Gotta fire Lovie now. Can’t wait until the end!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:36 pm
As simple as this…. If Lovie can’t accept fault, and refuses to acknowledge his inability to call or coach HIS defense, he should be fired. AND if he can!!!! he should still relinquish play calling capability to someone else. Either way, this lose falls squarely on his neck.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:36 pm
The play call on our 3rd down at their half yard line was simply inexcusable. We needed 6 inches! You run a QB sneak!
You see their entire defense is keying on the run so WHY THE F@ck would u call a pitch to the side 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage, and to the side where they are loading up defenders?!?!? UN-F@CK!NG-BELIEVABLE! You needed 6 INCHES!!!
I knew right then we were going to lose. And don’t even get me started on the absolutely pathetic defense. If we couldn’t win today, I don’t see us winning again this year.
2-14 again? Even if we get to 3, is that improvement? What will it take to get rid of Lovie?
October 25th, 2015 at 4:37 pm
Is this team cursed, and it doesn’t matter who the HC is? I remember when Schiano was coach, the Bucs were up 21-0 against the Seahawks at halftime. And they found a way to lose the game, 24-21.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:37 pm
Defense DID NOT SUCK the whole game. The first half they were incredible. At least give credit where it is due.
Anyway, I’m out. The trolls are finally showing up (they didn’t when we were playing well). The fans are showing their true colors…they turned on the team DURING the halftime break.
I have a novel to work on. I enjoyed half a game. Better than none I reckon. The team IS getting better. We just need to draft defense next year, like I’ve been saying all along.
And I have no clue what we’ll do for WRs going forward.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:37 pm
Bonzai- with all you excuses for the offense would you please publish in detail your plenty excuses for incompetent Lovie Smith’s skirt around man’s ankles defense?
October 25th, 2015 at 4:37 pm
We were on the one and a half yard line after that nice Doug run, Jameis is a monster who could’ve dove in for the the TD, but no we’ll pitch it backwards and lose yardage and go for the classic buccaneer 3 points and lose by one freakin point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:37 pm
@jab- you’ve gotta be related to Lovie. No sane person would defend this loser
October 25th, 2015 at 4:38 pm
People need to quit blaming the injuries to Bucs wide receivers. The Redskins had a lot of injuries as well, and found a way to win.
Who’s bright idea to only dress 4 WR’s anyway? I’m guess the big idiot Lovie!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:38 pm
Also got to give credit where due, Cousins looked pretty good in the second half. He did stand up to the pressure.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:38 pm
Yea accept the Seahawks were one of the best teams in the league that year. Redskins this year?… not so much.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:38 pm
What more needs to be said other than a few bright spots (the play of Martin, Evans, and Winston) this one really hurts. I will reserve criticism until after I cool down a bit, but I think we all see the problem.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:39 pm
Bonzai- they sucked!!! It’s a 60 minute game, not 30. They made a backup QB look like Brady.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:40 pm
lol. Is BuccaneerBonzai actually putting blame on Jameis? He was 21-29, 2 TDs and no INTs.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:40 pm
Lovie Is Dog Poo Says
“Wow this guy is a loser…”
You have no clue. I think I’ve done pretty darn well to have retired by age 45. Doing what I’ve always wanted to do in retirement, enjoying life. Writing.
Say…can you say the same? Or do you need to wait for Social Security to declare you retired 20 years later?
October 25th, 2015 at 4:40 pm
Lightning- they only intend to stand tall on pre-halftime leads. Complete and utter team failures are not convenient for the rah rah fan boys
October 25th, 2015 at 4:41 pm
Bonsai open your eyes.
Playing good for 25 minutes does not equal good play. The D is TERRIBLE, “simple as that”.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:41 pm
So you get a 24-0 lead in the 2nd quarter, then you totally change what you are doing offensively, take your foot off of the gas and lose your momentum.
“The very best way to protect your lead is to make it bigger” – Bobby Bowden
October 25th, 2015 at 4:41 pm
JaMarcus Leafwhich- uh, how did you get that Jameis sucks and is a first class bust out that game?
October 25th, 2015 at 4:41 pm
Falcons -30 next week. Ill take the points.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:42 pm
@Mac
Not putting all the blame on Jameis. Just pointing out that one of the strong points that were touted in his game was strong second halfs. I have not seen this once this season.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:42 pm
If I was in charge of the Buccaneers, I’d tell Lovie not to even bother getting on the plane back to Tampa, “YOU’RE FIRED!”
October 25th, 2015 at 4:42 pm
all year been saying this- fire him so I can root for our football team again please.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:43 pm
Double digit penalties every week are unacceptable, totally undisciplined, 5 personal foul penalties. Oh, and who the hell runs a toss play on 3rd down from from the half yard line. I was willing to give lovie the benefit of the doubt, but after this it’s pretty tough. One of two things are wrong, terrible coaching or the defensive guys are totally stupid. Second year in this defense and still missing defensive assignments, it’s got to be one of the two. I want to see a smash mouth defense, not this passive crap. I see no improvement, Jameis will be great, I hope it is with a new head coach!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:44 pm
Aside from the self-inflicted penaties, here’s where they went wrong (to put it as mildly as possible).
1) Playing soft football once they got a lead.
2) I didnt hear Martins name called after the 1st quarter, if at all, until after the 3rd Q.
3) Getting down to the .5 yd line with two shots to punch it in with two of the best RB’s in the game and they toss-pitch for a loss and settle for 3…HELLO!? We need Biff to come knock Lovie in the head with his cane… You have NO TIMEOUTS and 4 minutes left in the game! They (Skins) clearly had the momentum since the middle of the second Q. If you didnt punch it it, then they at least would have had the ball on their own 1 yard line or something… I said it on 3rd and .5, TD or go home (with a loss).

Penalties are on Lovie , no discipline, scared to let his players play is on Lovie, hallucinates that he has a pass rush, thinks his defensive backs can cover someone, doesn’t know how to step on someones throat, team has no emotion just like him and the worse is The Glazers can’t see what is obvious to everyone else.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:45 pm
Miami fired their coach and turned their season around. Any fool can see what the Glazers should do.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:45 pm
This is like Schiano’s first year where the offense is fine but the defense blows everything. Difference is this is year two and the defense is getting worse. Lovie is just lost as a coach now. Dan Quinn has 2 more wins in 16 fewer games than Lovie. We can do better. We need to stop being loser fans like that Bonzai guy.

“Playing good for 25 minutes does not equal good play. The D is TERRIBLE, “simple as that”.
How long did the defense play well for other games?
And are you really going to say the defense did not play well in the first half?
They may not have finished strong, but they certainly started strong. Same with offense…who also did not finish strong.
Anyone watching during the second half felt like that was a good defense. It was what followed that sucked. If it can work for a half, then with practice it will work for two halfs.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:46 pm
Jameis marched his team down the field with 1 WR! How the heck do you expect jameis to close the game when the coaches call 3 straight runs on first and goal. No one can blame jameis for this loss. He did NOTHING wrong. FFS he played Great! He had 1 wr for most of the game. And you expect him to play defense too? BS penalties against the bucs all dam game. The mike evans PI in the endzone was BS. He barely touched the guy. And over and over again, the redskins get in a fight with a buc and the bucs get called everytime. Lot of blame could go around, but winston did everything to win this game.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:46 pm
JAB83… do you prefer: nice try guys, we will get them next time. Fans express real emotions. If you can’t deal with that, why make your every post critcism of emotional Bucs fans. For you to say they are not Bucs fans takes away from your overall input.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:46 pm
Kinda hard to score points when the ball isn’t in your hands.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:46 pm
On our final defensive series our corners looked lost, were out of place, even appeared to mildly argue proper position and assignment. They had an entire off season, training camp, pre-season, 5 regular season games and a recent bye and still cannot execute lovie dovies plays. What a mess

“Wow this guy is a loser…”
You have no clue. I think I’ve done pretty darn well to have retired by age 45. Doing what I’ve always wanted to do in retirement, enjoying life. Writing.
Say…can you say the same? Or do you need to wait for Social Security to declare you retired 20 years later?

I agree the penalties are out of control. While I do feel the refs were biased…badly…some of the calls were good.

So the corrupted saviour couldn’t save you even though both starting db’s were out this week.
Enjoy the losses, you deserve them “fans”. You deride Lovie even though you didn’t question his questionable choice of players.
This hater not only gotta hate, he’s loving it!

You call me a loser. You started it (sticks out tongue).
Seriously though…you can always spot the true losers when they are so outclassed they bring out insults to manhood.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:49 pm
Dick jokes WHAT!?!?!?! That escalated quickly! Lets get back to venting on how bad today was!
October 25th, 2015 at 4:50 pm
I wonder if somewhere out there, Schiano, Sullivan and Dominick are enjoying a nice meal and watched this game with unadulterated glee. I sure hope so.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:50 pm
That loss was ALL on coaching. Btw, professional sports teams pad themselves with taxpayer money, so if they have to pay Lovie after firing him, it won’t affect them at all. One day you all will get a clue about how it works.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:51 pm
Who drafted sims instead of a cornerback, lovie. Who brought in Jennings and jenkins and Conte and releases revis… who called for the corners to play 10 yads off the ball. Lovie. Who went super conservative before half and all of 3rd quarter. Enough said. When players continue to make dumb penalty and btw. Corners had only 3 interception all year. I am done.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:51 pm
Kind of hard to win a game when you have 150 plus yards in penalties agianst your team in the second half
October 25th, 2015 at 4:51 pm
Fire Lovie now. Where the hell are the bill boards get rid of that loser now.when I mean now. Screw him
October 25th, 2015 at 4:53 pm
Losses like today is what hurts a locker room. Absolutely no excuse for the amount of penalties and yards given up today. That many penalties shows an undisciplined football team from bad coaching. 31 points after leading by 24 is pathetic. As a fan I’m tired of hearing rebuilding, rebuilding, rebuilding year after year. For a veteran coach who was highly coveted and had a winning record to only win 4 out of 23 games shows you how cursed this franchise is. I call it the curse of Chucky.
October 25th, 2015 at 4:55 pm
Funny, on Monday Lovie will tell the Glazers ” We’re on the Verge, almost there”. They will buy it and then all of them will laugh at how gullable and naive the fan base is. “F” you Glazers for destroying this franchise and “F” you Lovie ( with a lot more than Bonzais 4 inch wang)
October 25th, 2015 at 4:57 pm
@Bonzai
I agree with what you said. Our magic formula of running the ball and draining the clock stopped working when we lost two of our WRs. The question is why we would only go into a game with 4.
The defense did get tired on those drives. They can only handle so many 3 and outs with the opposing team having sustained drives.
We had too many bad calls/penalties and injuries.

Sorry but this guy’s takes are pure apologizing for Lovie. It’s like he enjoys never winning and constantly playing awful. He said the defense was amazing in the first half lol. It was acceptable and nothing more. He just seems to be pretty cool with losing.
October 25th, 2015 at 5:00 pm
This site needs to get its technical act together. I posted on the game blog. Nope, it didn’t get printed. NOW, I am PISSED OFF! The Bucs didn’t lose this game. The refs took it from them. Go look at the stats on penalties. Now, when did Triplett start calling them on the Bucs? When they went up 24-0 on Washington. Look at the Deadskins’ stats on penalties? They never held the Bucs? They never committed any offensive/defensive pass interference? What’s their record? I have been a devoted/educated Bucs fan for 36 years. I have seen this pattern too many times to count! Good thing I don’t have high blood pressure. I hope the players know they have to play against the refs + the other team. That’s how we won the SB.
October 25th, 2015 at 5:08 pm
A fn middle school QB could compete passes against us when we’re giving 10-yard cushions in our horrible prevent D.
The only thing our prevent D does, is prevent us from winning against non-injured QB’s.
October 25th, 2015 at 5:09 pm
Hey, am I posted or what? The Bucs won this game today. Guess Snyder had a field day stuffing coin in Triplett’s pocket. Hope the players get with the program regarding the zebras.
October 25th, 2015 at 5:18 pm
At least we don’t have to waste any more breath about the playoffs!!!
PLAYOFFS? BWAAHAAAHAAAA
And so what do we now talk about? Hoped for improvement from our young rookies as we look forward to some help from the draft and perhaps a new coaching staff.
I honestly do not see how a team could be any more poorly coached. This team was not defeated today…they LOST the game to an inferior opponent!!!
An onsides kick!!! The ONLY onsides kick to work this year!!! Fire the freaking special teams coach. Let’s start sending messages about what is unacceptable.
The penalties. They would be bad if it was an aberration but this has become the Bucs identity..penalities out the wazoo…a truly stupid team unable to make the big play!!! That’s what we’ve become. Is it time to blow it all up?
October 25th, 2015 at 5:18 pm
Since 1977 I’ve been with the Bucs. No more until The DB’ are gone. You know? Lovie picked the DB’s. Screw him. Just screw him. And that’s the nice way to say it.
October 25th, 2015 at 5:32 pm
@ghost of schiano. Lovie wont tell yhe glaziers that and the glaziers wont buy that because the glaziers wont be around the hear it because the glaziers dont give a crap. This team will suck as long as it is owned by the glaziers. I did not watch one single rays game this year because I knew when they let madden walk it was over. I am pretty much at the same point with these owners. At the point where I would rather put paw patrol on tv for my kids rather than wasting my time and giving this team the ratings. Screw em. If I played for the bucs I would play like crap on purpose just so I would either be cut or traded to a better team. Sound familiar??????
October 25th, 2015 at 5:38 pm
The secondary was so lost in the second half. We might need to send out a search part to find them.
October 25th, 2015 at 6:01 pm
Joe, I am drinking down my sorrows. Thought to myself after up 24-0, “hey, 3-3, maybe we start the improvement we all have been waiting for”. pffffttt If another “W” is achieved its because the other team didn’t show. Sorry. I heard the proverbial toilet flush.
October 25th, 2015 at 6:04 pm
A toss to the left??? Doug Martin was destroying them up the gut all day,
and you toss left with Martin not in the game? If you go up the gut he doesn’t get it he’s on the inch? Go for it on 4th and make the redskins for 99 yards if he doesn’t score…I bet he gets in with a run up the middle
October 25th, 2015 at 6:06 pm
For me, Jameis looked good. The QBing that should translate into W’s.
October 25th, 2015 at 6:07 pm
At least the stinkin’ Stillers helped our cause for top pick again in next years draft!! wooo hoooo
October 25th, 2015 at 6:08 pm
Agree with everyone here today, it stunk, it’s rotten, it was pathetic.
This loss is the end of the line for this team, major changes at the top have to happen right away. I really think the Glazers thought Lovie could revive the defense and get the team winning sooner than later. Todays collapse shows the team is in turmoil and patience isn’t working. There is no going back after today, the hot seat went from warm to broiling.
They should have played that game with desperation, they couldn’t do what they did and win. The defense allowing quarterbacks to find uncovered receivers plus the inability to take qbs off rhythm is the sword the Bucs keep falling on.
It’s a shame that McCoy and David got all the guaranteed money they got. Being the best players on the worst defense isn’t a reason to be overpaid.
The Buccaneers are still the team so many of us root for but how can we root for quitters that don’t have the fight in them to close out a 24-0 game?
It can’t get any worse than today.
October 25th, 2015 at 6:20 pm
Bring in Singletary to show Lovie what a pair looks like,go Lightning.
October 25th, 2015 at 6:21 pm
I know it hurts. I know we should have won. I know everyone wants to point the finger. Jameis Winston and Mike Evans looked great. Doug Martin is a stud and Licht needs to re-sign him. The rookies all looked good. What it comes down to is just a few positions. The secondary was pathetic and there is no pass rush. Nothing a couple of DE a CB and a Safety wont cure. It is times like these that real fans stand behind their team. To me this season was is a throw out anyway. The offense is young with a ton of talent. Learn from this game and become a better team because of it.
October 25th, 2015 at 6:56 pm
This is all on lovie
October 25th, 2015 at 8:02 pm
Sure Lovie shares major blame. But ask yourselves, why did Culverhouse’s teams lose? Then ask yourselves why do the Glazers’ teams lose? Change the players, change the coaches, but no matter what we do our owners have their own priorities, and we lose. We’re the Clippers, without Chris Paul.
October 25th, 2015 at 8:55 pm
Who the freak only dresses 4 wide receivers in the modern NFL? This is becoming a joke. Mike Jenkins can take a hike, Tim Jennings sucks. We have no tight ends without ASJ (who is fragile like glass). Depressing! As a Noles fan, I can honestly say this was the biggest kick in the balls weekend ever!!
October 25th, 2015 at 9:11 pm
This game hurts. Winston played awesome. Gotta try at least one throw when you get 1st and Goal at the 5. At least pound the rock up the gut.
October 26th, 2015 at 3:41 am
Those suggesting Koetter should step in even in a temporary role should think twice about that. What has this guy done that stood out anywhere he has coached at the college or pro level?
Let Lovie ride out the season. Unless a miracle happens then Lovie needs to be ousted at that point. What an embarrassing team to support and follow. We are truly the Chicago Cubs of the NFL even Cubs transposed = Bucs.
