Buccaneers-Rams Open Thread

September 25th, 2016

bucs cheerleader 0811Here we go! Joe is pumped beyond comprehension!

It’s the home-opener under steamy, stunny skies.!

A loss today would be a kick in the gut, but the Bucs certainly have enough talent to win this thing and vault to a strong 2-1 in 2016.

Bang it here with comments all game long. And prepare yourself for savage postgame coverage.

Play nice. Personal fouls at not tolerated.

    Ok guys LET’S GO

  2. MadMax Says:

    GJ starting D! LETS GO!

  3. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    good job on LVD catching that but poor job on the team. Cant be unprepared on the first set of downs

  4. rrsrq Says:

    So you drop GMC on third down

  5. Buc Neckid Says:

    here we go making another Third String QB in Case Keenum a ProBowler

  6. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Ok guys don’t get down yet

  7. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    Still dont like to see the CBs 10 yards off scrimmage

  8. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Austin could kill us

  9. Greg Says:

    Our defense needs to prove that they can stop a bad QB. I’m skeptical…

  10. orlbucfan Says:

    Where’s Banks?

  11. Greg Says:

    THats why I’m skeptical

  12. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    Jesus effing christ.

    Here comes another career day for Case effing keenum

  13. lurker Says:

    ouch

  14. MadMax Says:

    ug! screw it!

  15. 911bucs Says:

    Where’s the defense

  16. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Ok, let the embarrassment start. We are f#cked. Our safties suck

  17. rrsrq Says:

    So you drop GMC on third down and Rams who haven’t scored a TD all season gets on the board on the first drive

  18. Buc fan since 76 Says:

    Well, I can see why the Atlanta Falcons canned Mike Smith

  19. lurker Says:

    first td of the year…lmao

  20. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    So, who do you think is going to hire Mike Smith next year….LMAO!

  21. Buc fan since 76 Says:

    This defense looks completely unprepared

  22. Rod Munch Says:

    Bucs had the 10th best defense in the league last year when you dopes called for Lovie to get the boot…. now we have to go through all the learning a new defense stuff yet again. Ugh.

  23. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Idk what the problem is. Where was the safety?

  24. JAB83 Says:

    LMAO…. At least it wasn’t the slant…

  25. orlbucfan Says:

    Touchdown Rams 7-0. Mike Smith is a bit rusty as a DC. Panthers and Cards lost today. The offense has to win this game today. GO BUCS!!

  26. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Hate to break it to you, but there is nothing special about Mike Smith. His cocky attitude covers a lot of flaws.

  27. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Lmfao… of course

  28. Couch Fan Says:

    Im not surprised. Told me friend few hours ago that since the Rams havent scored all season on offense, that means they will score at least 2 or 3 times on us. It never fails, when a team hasent done something before, their best remedy is to play the Bucs who allow first time things to constantly happen. LMAO

  29. Bird Says:

    McCoy got held 2 plays there. Ayers maybe is most important in Dline. Lambert getting start. You kidding me?

  30. HICKERBILLY Says:

    @ rod
    Did u watch bucs games last year? That’s why we dumped Loser lovie

  31. Rod Munch Says:

    The Bucs don’t have an NFL caliber safety on the team, that’s a huge part of the problem regardless of if it was a busted play or not.

  32. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    By the way, that was a cover 2 defense. Everybody still runs it a lot.

  33. orlbucfan Says:

    P.S.: Earth to Smith: get rid of Conte and insert Banks. Thank you.

  34. Phred Says:

    Verner burned. No help.

  35. Destinjohnny Says:

    Mike smith doesn’t have it

  36. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Omg here we go. This is gonna be a long year yall

  37. MadMax Says:

    Good run Simms! JW3 you better be on your damn game!!

  38. Rod Munch Says:

    If it was cover 2 there would have been a safety deep, that’s how it works. The safety either wasn’t in the right place or it wasn’t cover 2. Also the d-line was offset to one side and got no pressure.

  39. richbucsfan Says:

    if this first defensive series means anything and now how the offense is starting with a penalty…Rams will go home with their first W…we will be left with the Same Ole Bucs

  40. VaBuc Says:

    Our safties suck our defense still suck we suck idc anymore they had no TD’s this yr n we give them there first smh …we will have a top 5 pick i guarantee this team is full of losers still idc who gets mad the truth is the truth smh no heart on the team what so ever just a shame to be a fan see you all next yr

  41. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Hahahahahahahaha!!!!! Gonna b a long day

  42. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    Typical start to a Bucs game

  43. Buc Neckid Says:

    Is this a Home Game?
    Sure is a Lack of energy in the Building
    Ughhhhh

  44. Phred Says:

    Clipping. First and 22 on the 13. Sims happy feet between the tackles once again a problem.

  45. JAB83 Says:

    Damm this sucks

  46. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    wasnt cover 2 that was cover 4 safeties pick up #2 if he goes more than 6-7 yards then helps out #1 but either way the safeties suck

  47. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Ok guys I have nothing more to say so I’ll see u post game after this embarrassment

  48. Rod Munch Says:

    At least our punter is good.

  49. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Rod, exactly. We need better players.

  50. Destinjohnny Says:

    Rams 28-10

  51. Phred Says:

    Awful start. Guess I picked the wrong week to give up heroin.

  52. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    That was a really nice punt! Too bad the ST couldn’t tackle the guy.

  53. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @HICKERBILLY

    You are soooooo predictable. Why do your even bother?

  54. ARGH_M8E Says:

    A win today puts us in solo 1st… if u can believe that

  55. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    PHRED NOW THATS GOLD!!!!

  56. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    They only have to go 71 yards this drive.

  57. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Phred Says
    “Awful start. Guess I picked the wrong week to give up heroin.”

    Was that an Airplane reference? lol

  58. richbucsfan Says:

    these slow starts are going to cost the Bucs big time…Rams on their way to another score…something is radically wrong with this team…oh, that’s right, they admitted they lacked focus…smh

  59. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    CASE KEENUM NEEDS TO BE IN BUCS RING OF HONOR

  60. jugheadfla Says:

    Kwon

  61. Couch Fan Says:

    WOOOOO Good job Kwon.

  62. Rod Munch Says:

    YEAH! Thank god.

  63. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    F##CK YEAHH!!

  64. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    YES!!!!!

    Take that, HICKERBILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  65. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Hal A Lou yeah

  66. ATrain Says:

    GMC. No a Leader..

    There is your leader

  67. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    58 is a beast.

  68. LongSeason Says:

    I’m not skeptical of the defense. I just flat out think the defense sucks and couldn’t stop a peewee league offense. Going to be a very very very long season.

  69. richbucsfan Says:

    well how about that…even a blind squirrel finds an acorn

  70. MadMax Says:

    KW8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TD IT!!!!!!!!!!!

  71. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    GhengisKwon rocks!

  72. Couch Fan Says:

    We just cant win for losing, jiminy christmas

  73. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    good draft pick licht

  74. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Robert A. lol

  75. Rod Munch Says:

    Did the Bucs actually have to take a timeout before missing the extra point?

  76. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Never draft an FSU kicker.

  77. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    WOWWWWWW. We need EVERY GOD DAMN POINT. You cant be missing extra points

  78. JAB83 Says:

    LOL… The drama what BS!!!!

  79. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    If we lose by one point, it’s all on our kicker.

  80. Buc fan since 76 Says:

    Aguayo is a bust

  81. Phred Says:

    Kwon to the rescue!

    Aguayo blows the PAT. Still going to be a long day.

  82. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Can’t belive we drafted this moron in the 2nd round. KICKERS are not worth ANY round pick.

  83. Clodhopper Says:

    Barth could’ve done that!!
    Hell Brindza could’ve done that too

  84. lurker Says:

    now to worry about the kicker…smh

    one step forward, 2 steps back

  85. ATrain Says:

    There is a poison in the Bucs lockerroom..

    A dose is apathy…Oh well if we win or lose I get 100 million

  86. Rod Munch Says:

    Kicker, be a professional and move the ball to the center of the field and stop this angle kicking nonsense. You’re a great kicker, but this isn’t college, don’t play angles – just kick the ball straight.

  87. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Conner Barth…..oh how i miss you

  88. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    what a WASTE of a pick. imagine if we had used that pick on a safety

  89. Destinjohnny Says:

    Jason is an okay scout
    He just doesn’t get the big picture.

  90. BennyBucs Says:

    The kicker is a bust. Should have gotten a WR or SAFETY

  91. lurker Says:

    first td for rams and first takeaway for bucs d…intersting

  92. Rod Munch Says:

    Good tackle by kicker, too bad the special teams suck so bad it’s up to the kicker to make the play.

  93. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    licht sucks as a GM

  94. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Come on D

  95. Phred Says:

    Should’ve taken a DE in the 2nd round instead of a freakin’ kicker.

  96. Serge Says:

    Is Connor Barth available?

  97. Rod Munch Says:

    Zero pressure… where are all those exotic blitzs we heard about?

  98. jugheadfla Says:

    B drops

  99. Rod Munch Says:

    Great field position for the offense again…

  100. Phred Says:

    Field position sucks but at least Humphries has learned to not call a fair catch at the 6 yard line.

  101. Armybucsfan Says:

    Wtf aguayo!!!!!!!!! We better not lose by one point

  102. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Hate to say this but we are only in this game because of Rams miscues. How sad is that?

  103. Rod Munch Says:

    Hate to say this but we are only in this game because of Rams miscues. How sad is that?

    ——-

    We’re like 6 minutes into the first quarter. Wow is this place nothing but drama queens.

  104. BuccoDav Says:

    Quit stutter stepping and hit the hole!

  105. ATrain Says:

    First game there was a rush by the front four..

    Where did that go…

    If you make 100 million we should hear your NAME

  106. Phred Says:

    Simms is great as a receiver but waits too long to hit a hole when running betwenn to tackles. Hate his little happy feet dance while he’s deciding where to go.

  107. Rod Munch Says:

    Sims is a 3rd down catching back, not a feature back – he’s really good at his role but as the lead runner you can’t be juking 40 times on every play running up the gut.

  108. jugheadfla Says:

    wtf was that pass?

  109. Buc fan since 76 Says:

    Winston is not helping

  110. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    I think we now know how bad Atlanta’s defense is now.

  111. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    Jameis has to fix his innaccuracy issues or we will keep losing games

  112. HICKERBILLY Says:

    This team has no heart. Week one was an anomaly. We are who we were last year. Maybe worse. I love this team, but they will lead me to an early grave

  113. JAB83 Says:

    Worste enemy of a solid defense??? A piss poor offense!!!

  114. Rod Munch Says:

    I think you guys are all on your periods, what a collection of whiny women in here, absolutely nothing interesting to say, just our kicker sucks, our qb sucks, the game is over, our GM is terrible, we need a head coach. Ugh. Say something interesting about the game or just go back to the manning the glory hole in your mancave.

  115. Jim Says:

    But we got the best punter..

  116. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    54 is a beast.

  117. HICKERBILLY Says:

    This team is a joke

  118. jugheadfla Says:

    really? wow, swiss cheese

  119. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Draw plays are not supposed to work.

  120. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    SAFETIES SUCK

  121. Destinjohnny Says:

    Smith scheme does not work

  122. Rod Munch Says:

    They had David shadowing someone, I don’t know how, he took it on his own to go after the QB and get the sack.

    Then the defense is tricked on a draw with Jeff Fisher on a 3rd and 17? Really? There’s only 2 plays they run on 3rd and 17, draw or screen, that’s it.

  123. Couch Fan Says:

    worst offense in the league just converted 3rd and 17 on us. Ridiculous.

  124. lurker Says:

    23 on 3rd and 18…wow

  125. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Who are the announcers? Sounds like Dick Stockton and….?

  126. Phred Says:

    23 yard run, embarrassing missed tackles. Who would ever expect a draw play on third & long? Can’t believe the Bucs missed that.

  127. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Who are the top 10 prospects in this year’s draft?

  128. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Smith’s defense, like Lovie’s is OUTDATED

  129. Bangkok Buc Says:

    Dusthty – bang on brother. Safeties are terrible. Painful to watch

  130. Chris Says:

    How smart of a pick was that ok, you FSU homers? Our safety’s were garbage last year, how many holes do we have on this team? That’s a move a playoff team might , and I say only might make.

  131. mike10 Says:

    Wow does our defense blow

  132. Rod Munch Says:

    No guys, the defense is great and loaded with talent, it was only Lovie Smith to blame – remember – you know despite the fact the defense finished 10th in the league Lovie was so God awful that he had to be fired after 2 years, you know because firing your coach is every 2 years is the way you build a winner, just ask Cleveland.

  133. Chris Says:

    Of course the Raiders took one the year they were in the Super Bowl. Oh yeah, how have they been since they took that kicker high?

  134. ATrain Says:

    IS McCoy hurt????

  135. HICKERBILLY Says:

    We have good linebackers and corners, we need safties and DL depth.

  136. Rod Munch Says:

    Now lets see if the special teams can give Winston the ball outside of the 10 yard line.

  137. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    I think Marcus Maye at UF is a safety. On.y DB on that team worth drafting.

  138. MadMax Says:

    Trade our first pick next year for Zuerline!!!!!!!

    JK Jason L. !!!!!!!!!

  139. Off the Cuff Says:

    Can you say Jabril Peppers? Our safeties are terrible.

  140. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    and where is safety licht drafted does he dress? and the OL from UCLA does he dress? licht blew entire draft from needs perspective

  141. HICKERBILLY Says:

    @ rod, don’t twist the stats, they were top 10 in yards but bottom of the league in points allowed

  142. Chris Says:

    Mccoys hurt every game of every year. That’s his and his apologists reasons for him not being a winner

  143. Rod Munch Says:

    Hey there you go, not running up the middle with a 3rd down back against the best D-line in the NFL… brillant.

  144. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    Lovie is gone and losing to western michigan munch

  145. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Winston’s best pass is in the middle of the field about 20 yards. Probably throws that as good as anybody. The other passes, not so much.

  146. Phred Says:

    To those wiser than me: is the problem with the Bucs D (1) lack of talent; (2) bad scheme; (3) missed assignments; or, (4) lack of effort?

  147. Rod Munch Says:

    @ rod, don’t twist the stats, they were top 10 in yards but bottom of the league in points allowed

    ———

    Yeah, now rub those two branches together in your brain and see if you can start a fire… if you don’t give up a lot of yards but a lot of points, gee I wonder if that means you’re putting the defense in a bad position and giving the other offense a short field… Gee, lets see, did the Bucs turn over the ball a lot last year, could that lead to short fields and easy points? Think about it for a few hours and let me know what you figure out.

  148. BucFan20 Says:

    DOTSON! Just the right time AGAIN!

  149. JAB83 Says:

    Woowzers!!!!

  150. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Ur still twisting stats. I can twsit them too. Our offence was top 5 in the league. So there is no excuse for the defence. I can do this all day. U can’t convince me that lovie was a good coach. So get off his nutz cause we got Dirk now

  151. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    phred lack of talent

  152. BennyBucs Says:

    Winston is going to get someone’s back broken with those high a$$ passes

  153. Rod Munch Says:

    Go for it..

  154. Rod Munch Says:

    Thank god – get the TD.

  155. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    chris spielman on the call he calls it like he sees it

  156. Rod Munch Says:

    Who else do we have at RB, Barber? Sims is very good but he’s not a north/south runner and his stuttering to make moves is closing any holes that open.

  157. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Play action room out JW3 for TD

  158. Rod Munch Says:

    OK great, took 3 plays to get 2 yards, but hey they got it done.

  159. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    We needed to establish our will there. Great job

  160. MadMax Says:

    And no flag, THANK YOU O LINE!!!!!! TD!!!!!!!!!

  161. ATrain Says:

    Please. LOVIE IS SOOOOO GREAT THATS WHY ANOTHER NFL TEAM GRABBED HIM..

    NO he is coaching in a corn field

  162. MadMax Says:

    GJ SIMMS!

  163. HICKERBILLY Says:

    U don’t want anymore rod? U all done?

  164. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    on another note carson palmer threw 4 picks this week and cam threw 3

  165. Rod Munch Says:

    No you don’t play action from the 3 inch line… Leave the coaching to the pros kiddo.

  166. lurker Says:

    pound that rock!

    confidence in the oline

  167. BucFan20 Says:

    Thank Gawd no FLAG!

  168. Chris Says:

    Adam Humphries a keeper. Hopefully no more disparaging Rudy comparisons from this blog.

  169. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    I just now joined and read this thread. Would I be a major assss if I saved some of these comments and revisit them in 12 weeks.

    Smitty sucks…Aguayo needs to go…LMAO.

    I smell panic in the air!!!

  170. Rod Munch Says:

    Ur still twisting stats. I can twsit them too. Our offence was top 5 in the league.

    ——-

    Dummy, I said turnovers… what does the offensive yardage have to do with the defensive play? Wow, you’re not very smart. First you think Mike Smith is a God, then you think we should be running Winston on playaction from the 3 inch line on 3rd down at the goaline. Are you like 14 and is this your 2nd year of watching football?

  171. HICKERBILLY Says:

    We didn’t roll JW3 out last year for a TD on goal line in Dallas? U leave this $hit to the pros lovie lover

  172. Rod Munch Says:

    Stpetebucsfan – Don’t mind them, they’re just your normal sports radio talk dullards, plus they’re all synced up and on their periods.

  173. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    BTW..Thank gawd our coaches do not panic or give up like the fans.

    Koetter just executed a masterful job. He got #3 back in synch. And at the end he didn’t get cute…he pretty much told his Oline…I BELIEVE in you guys.

    Oh and Sims the guy who sucks at running north south somehow got it in against one of the best Dlines in the game.

  174. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @Stpetebucsfan

    Yeah, I try to barely check in on this thread during games. Gets a bit depressing here.

    Rams DE ejected?

  175. HICKERBILLY Says:

    I am twistin stats just like u. You mad?

  176. NorthernBuc Says:

    This television coverage sucks — virtually no replays… just camera shots of the sidelines and closeups on players between plays. I guess they put the skeleton crew on this game (looks like 4 cameras only)

  177. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Yeah Bonsai.

  178. Chris Says:

    Agayos a bad pick no matter how many 40 yrd field goals he makes in his long, storied career

  179. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    End a rounds are like the dumbest p lays ever. Never mind.

  180. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Turnover!

  181. Rod Munch Says:

    Britt throwing his helmet on the sideline but on the field, should be 15 yards.

  182. jugheadfla Says:

    54

  183. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Oh no the guy everybody loves to hate…Conte with a heads up play,

  184. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Line backers having a good game today

  185. MadMax Says:

    GJ LD58!!!!!!!

  186. Bangkok Buc Says:

    That a boy David!!!!

  187. MadMax Says:

    54 DUH!

  188. lurker Says:

    2nd takeaway of the year

    lvd playing possessed. pissed from shutout last week.

  189. HICKERBILLY Says:

    LSU fI red Les Miles

  190. Chris Says:

    St Pete would put a positive spin on the Apocalypse

  191. Rod Munch Says:

    I never realized Rodgers was that small.

  192. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Rogers is like a dwarf out there, lol.

  193. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Rodgers is mini doug

  194. rrsrq Says:

    Get those Rams d-linemen outta there

  195. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Chris Says
    “St Pete would put a positive spin on the Apocalypse”

    We need more like him, don’t we? Hopefully in time we will all turn to the positive.

  196. ATrain Says:

    Where is McCoy I haven’t seen him

    Did I miss something

  197. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    ATrain, he’s in there. They are doing some strange stuff with him. Like having him drop back.

  198. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Got a nickname for Rogers…Chameleon.

    Cause he’s so small he blends in.

  199. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Is the upper deck more than half empty?

  200. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Rodgers was a good pickup

  201. MadMax Says:

    BRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  202. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Brate says….ASJ who?

  203. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Winston is the new Brian Sipe.

  204. Rod Munch Says:

    What in the world was that defense from the Rams, the end just like shadowed Winston, like he was going to run 15 yards…

  205. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Sims tries to play with too much finesse.

    TOUCHDOWN!

  206. jugheadfla Says:

    Harvard

  207. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Brate 1 handed TD

  208. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    Safeties on the bucs suck… you can save that

    and ASJ where is he watchn game?

  209. Chris Says:

    Winston to Brate, man Winston throws well on the move

  210. Boise Buc Says:

    What a CATCH!!!

  211. MadMax Says:

    BRATE TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  212. rrsrq Says:

    What kinda defense that was the Rams playing on that Brate first down

  213. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Yeah this is looking like the apocalypse. This can’t go on!

    If this team continues to improve and #3 plays like this what are the negative nellies here going to have to beotch about?

  214. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Keep putting it on em don’t hold up!!

  215. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    brian sipe!!!! haha

  216. Rod Munch Says:

    There we go! Nice!

    Anywho whoever was saying Winston sucks after missing his 2nd pass of the game, I think you should publically apologize for being a drama queen d-bag.

  217. JabooWins Says:

    How ya like that ASJ?

  218. LargoBuc Says:

    Got home from work at the perfect time.

  219. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Fire the cannons 84 times!

  220. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    ASJ is practically invisible out there 😉

  221. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Brate and Humphries…my new favorite players

  222. lurker Says:

    brate > asj

  223. MadMax Says:

    You know, it sucks when I have to say “you better make it btch” when the kicker is just going for the extra point!

  224. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Actually ASJ is on my sofa. Funny, but he is calling the plays right before they happen. How does he know?

  225. HICKERBILLY Says:

    @ rod
    And I belive that was a goal line play action roll out. Leave it to the pros bud

  226. Rod Munch Says:

    GhostofSchiano – Wow, first you bench Freeman because he’s black, now you say your two favorite players are white. Will it never end with your racism!

  227. Chris Says:

    Geez , negative Millie’s. I think the past 15 years have been enough to make anyone skeptical . Of course unless you’re a Browns fan. Than that would be considered acceptable

  228. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Where is Noah Spence today? I was hoping he got more time

  229. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    All the Bucs players are white today, Rod.

  230. Rod Munch Says:

    HICKERBILLY – From the 3-inch line? Learn the game you dope and be less boring.

  231. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Humphries is a solid #3 and Asj out we no longer need to force him into the offense

  232. Chris Says:

    Nillies

  233. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    because he likes 2 undrafted players he is racist? makes sense

  234. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Man if rushing the passer was horseshoes we’d be all world. We get push…we get close…but no cigar. I want to see somebody plant Keenum.

  235. Rod Munch Says:

    Buccaneer Bonzai – NO NO NO, everyone is racist, even JoeBucFan, he makes his webpage white. Enough is enough.

  236. lurker Says:

    “Actually ASJ is on my sofa. Funny, but he is calling the plays right before they happen. How does he know?”

    —————————————–

    where’s his rum barrel?

  237. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    I LOVE IT! Get that weak shiiit outta here!

  238. A-Train Says:

    ASJ is driving Manziel to REHAB

  239. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    CONTE SUCKS

  240. MadMax Says:

    What is it, 70% of NFL players are black…..so whats with trying to bring racism into this….get outta here with that ish!

  241. Capt Blighe Says:

    Grimes avoids contact like the Plague

  242. rrsrq Says:

    Nice move GMC

  243. Rod Munch Says:

    dusthty – His name is Ghost of Schiano, I was actually making fun of the Jersey Trash that was Schiano – which everyone should do whenever they have the chance.

  244. A-Train Says:

    McCoy is in the game

    Conte just got rocked

  245. BuccoDav Says:

    Atrain was probably in the bathroom…

  246. HICKERBILLY Says:

    @ rod
    U mad bro? Lol I’ve forgotten more football then you’ve ever known, go back to Madden

  247. LargoBuc Says:

    Mccoy said NOPE!

  248. Bucfan954 Says:

    “rrsrq Says:What kinda defense that was the Rams playing on that Brate first down”

    I thought it was just me who caught that I thought the defensive end was going in zone coverage but he just stood up and stood there lmao

  249. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    ok thats pretty funny, gotcha munch!!! schiano is a great DC though

  250. DB55 Says:

    Big boy McCoy w the nasty roof roof.

  251. Rod Munch Says:

    HICKERBILLY – Ugh, a lame cliche as a response – pretending the 4 yard line is the 3 inch line? Be less boring.

  252. Bird Says:

    Gmc kids. 2 minute offense huge here

  253. lurker Says:

    is it so much nicer here when the bucs are winning!

    except for rod munch, though…lol

  254. MadMax Says:

    FU ogletree!! Bad hit!

  255. Rod Munch Says:

    I’ll take the 15 yards, but come on, that’s football.

  256. A-Train Says:

    ASJ is with Mike and the Boys having a Soup Kitchen

  257. jugheadfla Says:

    why are they not running the football?….and look what happens

  258. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Lol that 2 int on Charles sims

  259. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    That wasn’t that bad of a hit, but the NFL is so in debt to the Bucs on bad calls that my grandkids won’t collect yet.

  260. COBucs Says:

    Good times.

  261. LargoBuc Says:

    Oh wtf Sims. Second week in a row.

  262. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    mark baron couldnt play for lovie smdh

  263. MadMax Says:

    ug! Barron, dont do it again….

  264. lurker Says:

    no fing way

  265. Rod Munch Says:

    Man, Sims is having a terrible game.

  266. Boise Buc Says:

    Damn

  267. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Is Mark Barron really rushing the passer? And now he gets a pick. Wonder what bar our 6th pick from the Rams is at, cmon Lovie!!

  268. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Barron gave up the Brate plays…not worried about him.

    That int was earned by the Rams. Great hit…#3 went with the called play…
    Stuff happens…they get paid too.

  269. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Sims is a spot player. He is not championship starter quality. If he is your starter, then you need to draft one.

  270. Rod Munch Says:

    Lets see if the D can hold them to a FG, but I’m guessing not, they tend to soft in these situations and Mike Smith is a soft coach. Lets see and hope I’m wrong.

  271. Rod Munch Says:

    Sims is great in his role – but lead back isn’t his role. He’s a 3rd down back – that’s why he’s so great playing with Martin.

  272. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    We are winning by ten with the football to start the second half.

    All I”m reading from some of you is pointing out our mistakes. How did we get the lead if we suck so badly?

    How about at least some equal time…you know you could point out a Buc good play along with the bad ones.

  273. VaBuc Says:

    J Winston isnt the answer we’ll be drafting a qb in 4 mo yrs he’s an turnover machine he’ll lose more games for us than wins smh so sad thats all he knows how to do

  274. Rod Munch Says:

    Stpetebucsfan – Are you in the future?

  275. Chris Says:

    I’m convinced St Pete works for the Buccaneers, he’s got be a plant

  276. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Not interference. Bad call

  277. BuccoDav Says:

    Oh, sh!the! Gholston just helped Gurley up.

  278. A-Train Says:

    That was a BS call please…

  279. Chris Says:

    Alright I’m outta here. Every single thing I write, no matter how innocuous awaits moderation.

  280. Chris Says:

    Except that one

  281. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    So funny how the refs will let a lineman stand straight up but a twitch is not allowed.

  282. HICKERBILLY Says:

    WHERE IS SPENCE? What a late flag.

  283. A-Train Says:

    Winston had a bad game so what that happens..

    Cam had 3 picks today…

  284. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Damn…have I somehow wandered onto the LA Rams fan blog?

  285. Rod Munch Says:

    Don’t worry LA, if you don’t get it in the first 400 times, the refs will give you another chance.

  286. Tbbucs3 Says:

    As long as Mike Smith has a good redzone defense I’ll take it. Bend but don’t break.

  287. Rod Munch Says:

    Wow this TV production is terrible. On the goalline they have the camera zoomed in so you can’t see the goalline? What garbage at Fox.

  288. LargoBuc Says:

    What a kick in the balls the turnover turned out to be.

  289. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    If Sims hadn’t dropped that pass this could be a very diff game

  290. VaBuc Says:

    Jameis just has to turn the ball over he just has to smh if not its a bad game for him now thats just sad

  291. HICKERBILLY Says:

    I hope we take a shot or two before the half

  292. Rod Munch Says:

    Team can’t get down on Sims, just need to put him back into his proper role. I don’t know who the 3rd back is today, perhaps Barber? If so use him as the lead for the rest of the game and get the offense back into its normal flow and try to get a ground game going, at least a little.

  293. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    7 plays to go 22 yards. That’s pretty good defense.

  294. BennyBucs Says:

    Vabuc, that one wasn’t even his fault. 100% on Simms and his propensity to bobble passes

  295. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Guess not. SMH

  296. COBucs Says:

    No TDs by LA in till they face the bucs. Beautiful just beautiful.

  297. Rod Munch Says:

    HICKERBILLY – You take “some shots” from your own 25 yard line, with the lead, with no timeouts and only what, 16 seconds left? Again are you 12 years old, do you know how football works? What a dope.

  298. iamkingsu Says:

    Again can we just force a field goal one time off a turnover?? Again go back to the first 2 possessions of the preseason. Damn that should of been the main point of emphasis after that game

  299. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    Vabuc you are an idiot. INT. was Sims fault.
    Jameis has had a good game so far

  300. iamkingsu Says:

    You don’t have to always give up 7

  301. Buccfan37 Says:

    The Rams were fired up on that last scoring drive. The Bucs need to match that level of intensity to win this game.

  302. HICKERBILLY Says:

    U really are slow aren’t you. Lol. U keep saying the same things over and over again. A sign that you might be a 12 year old kid.DOPE

  303. Chris Says:

    Well the Rams have doubled their season point total in one half, on our home field, home opener no less

  304. iamkingsu Says:

    It’s the friggin Rams offense got d@mn

  305. Chris Says:

    Cmon , am I on the JoeBuc Fan watch list?

  306. Tackleblockwin Says:

    It doesn’t have to be pretty…lets just get the W.

  307. Tampa Tony Says:

    This will be the most offensive points the Rams score all year

    This defense is still awful

  308. phreakybucfan Says:

    Thank you fox for the shot of jeff fisher with 33 sec left. best background ever!

  309. Chris Says:

    Moderate, Moderate, Moderate

  310. Rod Munch Says:

    So first half recap.

    The safeties for the Bucs are still terrible and should have quit football in high school, why they’re in the NFL is beyond me. LB play has been good. DL isn’t get much pressure.

    There’s been almost no blitzing, most everything is zone in the game, Bucs playing bend don’t break – except for when the safeties aren’t in the right spot and they give up a long TD.

    Offense moved the ball when they’ve gone to shotgun, got points on short fields which is always a must. Winston has been pretty good so far. Sims has been awful so far. Offensive line has mostly done OK, hard to know if they’re getting running lanes open or not since Sims is doing 321 juke moves before hitting the hole and causing the holes to close.

    Still first half doesn’t feel good, but we’re winning, feels like we’re losing. So I’ll take feeling like a loser but winning on the field so long as we actually win.

    Bucs get the ball to start the 2nd half.

  311. Chris Says:

    Guess so, thanks Joe for running me off for the rest of the day

  312. Rod Munch Says:

    Gurley has had zero space to run the ball. Bucs have an excellent run defense, but still, Gurley is a no-factor. He’s such a good back you figure sooner or later he’ll break one – just hope it’s not this game.

  313. BucFan20 Says:

    It’s the Bucs. Did you expect them to blow someone out?

  314. Kobe Faker Says:

    Im surprised rams not attacking the edge. Hope they continue the stupidity

  315. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Damn…the int is not on #3 nor on Simms…that was a perfectly timed hit and like last week the ball took the perfect bounce for the pick. One of these times the ball is going to fall harmlessly to the ground. Breaks have a way of evening out over the season.

  316. HICKERBILLY Says:

    HUMP catches everything

  317. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Damn do we think Hump is an NFL player yet?

  318. MadMax Says:

    Thats the way you do it Hump….snatch that ball!!!!!!!

  319. Rod Munch Says:

    I wish he had Mike James, but they can’t resign him I think for another 4 weeks.

  320. Rod Munch Says:

    Come on Cross, if it hits your hands you have to catch the ball.

  321. BennyBucs Says:

    SIMS is a fumble machine and Winston is an inaccurate sob

  322. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    mike james should be the starting RB

  323. HICKERBILLY Says:

    That’s a big stop for them. I don’t really have much confidence in our defence

  324. Rod Munch Says:

    Man I wish ASJ wasn’t such a dolt, he has such great ability but the IQ of HICKERBILLY.

  325. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    dang got some haters on here today, yes the safeties suck but winston is a stud, cam threw 3 picks and palmer 4 today

  326. Rod Munch Says:

    dusthty – Yeah with Martin, James would absolutely be the starter and he’d be productive. He reminds me a ton of Ernest Graham, just a north/south guy, grinder, always falls forward, gets 4 yards per pop.

  327. BennyBucs Says:

    SIDENOTE. CARSON WENTZ IS THE REAL DEAL. I DON’T SEE ANY ACCURACY ISSUES THERE. COUGH COUGH WINSTON

  328. Rod Munch Says:

    Nice stop by Kwon, good to see him bounce back like this.

  329. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Foot in mouth on last comment

  330. HICKERBILLY Says:

    If Ur so smart rod what does IT standem for u troll

  331. HICKERBILLY Says:

    IQ stand for?

  332. Rod Munch Says:

    Who is the idiot on Fox saying Evans can’t beat man coverage? Wow what an d-bag.

  333. Kobe Faker Says:

    Jacquizzzz

    Where are you????

    Koetter whats up. Dumbazz

  334. Rod Munch Says:

    Wow amazing, a blitz!

  335. BucsFan30 Says:

    BennyBucs
    Not Winston’s fault his tight ends can’t catch for sh*t

  336. MadMax Says:

    JONES!!!!!!!!!! Get that pressure baby!!!!!!!

  337. lurker Says:

    where’s noah spence

  338. BennyBucs Says:

    Fire Dirk . Hire the Eagles defensive coordinator. Jim Schwartz or the patriots offensive coordinator. Dirk is making some questionable decisions.

  339. Rod Munch Says:

    I love how Winston just stands in the pocket even with pressure right in his face, he’s always done that but still something people should give him a huge amount of credit on doing.

  340. HICKERBILLY Says:

    I saw Noah Spence on that last rams 3rd down

  341. Chris Says:

    Good God,Aggayo

  342. Patrick Says:

    Kicker sucks ass

  343. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    Aguayo has left 4 pts up today, god we could use those right now

  344. rrsrq Says:

    2nd round huh

  345. lurker Says:

    lol…wtf

  346. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Cut aguayo now. He WILL cost us games. Possibly this one. WASTE of a pick. We cut ASJ and he more than likely wouldn’t have cost us games this year. Get rid of this clown

  347. MadMax Says:

    Another waste of a 2nd round pick ….you suck Roberto!!!!!!

  348. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    AGUAYO OFFICIALLY SUCKS AND LICHT IS A HORRIBLE GM, the bucs need WR and safetys you pick a K in round 2 wtf

  349. Rojas Says:

    Licht for gm of the year award.

  350. lurker Says:

    he’s got ability but it is in his head now

  351. Tampa Tony Says:

    Licht admit your mistake and cut Aguyao

  352. ElioT Says:

    Alright, I’ve had enough. F*ck the kid.

    Licht outsmarted his own damn meat-headed self. You ain’t some genius big fella!

    Dammit! !!

  353. Bangkok Buc Says:

    F’in kicker. Safety or a speed receiver would sure look good right about now

  354. unbelievable Says:

    So they they told us not to days “same ole Bucs”….

    But we’re literally doing everything we can to give the game away…

  355. BennyBucs Says:

    That’s our prize second rounder right there

  356. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    DEF. stops them on the next series.
    WE have to run the freaking ball.

  357. unbelievable Says:

    *not to say

  358. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Lol, no more FGs. Punt or go for it. When he misses it is just demoralizing to the team.

  359. iamkingsu Says:

    2nd round pick guys plus a 4th rounder

  360. Tampa Tony Says:

    Who would’ve thought a case Keenum lead offense would out score a “franchise” QB

    Bucs are a joke

  361. RustyRhino Says:

    Wow

  362. VaBuc Says:

    Damn licht you looking like a bad gm homie you need help when you choose in the 2nd round but yea i agree we have to cut ROBERTO slam BUST

  363. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Connor come back….Connor

  364. Matts17 Says:

    Not gonna happen, Bucs are stuck with this clown for a least two years.

  365. BennyBucs Says:

    Lol licht will NEVER cut him. F’ing hypocrite

  366. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Well, there goes Gurley and our game.

  367. Tampa Tony Says:

    Lucht could’ve had sterling Shepard

  368. dubstepper Says:

    this is all on Licht, for putting a kid in a no win situation.

  369. Phred Says:

    Aguayo has cost them 4 points so far this game.

  370. iamkingsu Says:

    Licht tried to be the smartest guy in the room with that pick

  371. Dr A Says:

    Look at what this missed fg has lead too. I would be fine if we cut aguyao tomorrow.

  372. Lou. Says:

    We do not have to worry about Mike Smith being taken away as a head coach.

  373. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Ball Game

  374. lurker Says:

    td gurley

  375. HICKERBILLY Says:

    This defence is a joke, the kicker is a joke. Now we are down by 4 and we left 4 points on the field.

  376. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Ok Bucs time to slowly break our hearts

  377. lurker Says:

    offense stalling, defense getting beat and tired

  378. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Another Sunday just fuct, win or lose

  379. BennyBucs Says:

    Why does CARSON WENTZ look more accurate and poised than our franchise QB? They are shutting down the Steelers right now & we’re being dominated by a 3rd rate team

  380. Bangkok Buc Says:

    Sterling Sheperd……ahhh that stings
    Good job Licht

  381. Seminole bill Says:

    At ray Jay watching game. Team has given up. You can see it, feel it.

  382. lurker Says:

    those 4 points are haunting bucs

  383. RustyRhino Says:

    Nearly every play is a run up the middle for positive yardage. flashback

  384. Rod Munch Says:

    A shootout! With the Rams…

    This is a good sign for our offense, it’s a terrible sign for our defense.

  385. iamkingsu Says:

    The friggin Rams smfh. I’m sick of all these buddy buddy hires. Lovie and Leslie now Dirk and Smitty. Thank god for Winston. I know he’s going to pull this game out but d@mn smh

  386. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    Be really cool if we could play the jags this year.

  387. StAugBuc Says:

    I spent all summer annoyed with those bashing the Aguayo pick. You’ve won me over. Even if he becomes above average, not worth it.

  388. Rod Munch Says:

    RustyRhino – Not really, they ran it up the middle at the beginning of the game and Sims kept juking and picking up nothing. That is the strength of the Rams.

  389. Phred Says:

    I figured the Bucs for a 7-9 team this year; 8-8 if they caught a few lucky bounces. Next year is their playoff year. But this is a winnable game and one that is important to win if the Bucs want to have hope of shedding their “losing” culture.

  390. Buc fan since 76 Says:

    Roberto Aguayo is Kyle Brindza. Choke artist.

  391. 911bucs Says:

    I need St Pete with some soothing words about now, no Sarcasm intended either.

  392. LargoBuc Says:

    I AM FKING LIVID RIGHT NOW!

  393. lurker Says:

    Greg Auman ‏@gregauman 3m3 minutes ago

    Todd Gurley before that drive: 16 carries, 34 yards. Gurley on that drive: 6 carries, 38 yards, touchdown. Rams up 24-20. Up by an Aguayo.

    ————————————-

    funny stuff right there

  394. Jack Burton Mercer Says:

    How do you get to watch a game from the Pirate ship? Cost a bunch I guess.

  395. RustyRhino Says:

    I was speaking of the rams running it right down the middle.

  396. Rod Munch Says:

    Another g-d holding call on the offense… ugh.

  397. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    pirate ship overrated save your ducats

  398. StAugBuc Says:

    Hat tip to Joe: Schwartz’s defense devastating.

  399. Rojas Says:

    Would of been a tie game right now if it wasn’t for our kicker..

  400. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    kinda like aguyao overrated but licht wasted the bucs ducats

  401. ElioT Says:

    Huge opportunity here. This offense has to do something.

    Cannot put our D back on the field right now.

  402. LargoBuc Says:

    This is bull! You just let the Rams run it down your throat all the while Gurley makes a hilight reel play! Get your head out your fking a$$ Bucs!

  403. Rod Munch Says:

    RustyRhino – Oh, well the Bucs had been stuffing them all day until that drive. Defense has been out there a lot and Gurley is a fantastic player, can’t give him endless chances because he’ll break one sooner or later. The run defense however has been excellent today even with that drive.

  404. Mike Johnson Says:

    Please explain this to me..How is it a team has absolutely no offense…until they play the Tampa Bay Bucs?
    Nough said.

  405. DallasBuc Says:

    AguaOh…no

  406. Rod Munch Says:

    How in the mother fing hell was that not PI!?!

  407. BigStinky Says:

    JW high ball again

  408. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Not Hawley! No!

  409. Destinjohnny Says:

    Glazer boys have run this franchise into the ground

  410. HICKERBILLY Says:

    1-2 guys. Now Hawley is down. This team is just a cluster f#ck we are 2 years away from being PLAYOFFS contenders.

  411. LargoBuc Says:

    Great. Our starting center is probably out for the year. Fck this.

  412. Bangkok Buc Says:

    We have no weapons on offence. Can Jackson even get open anymore?
    Where are the shots downfield to Evans???

  413. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    dallas buc love it

  414. VaBuc Says:

    This team is sad as hell smh just bums the defense are doing the best they can this damn offense is horrendous but i do feel like they all have given up team full of quitters

  415. Rod Munch Says:

    Great play by Winston there.

  416. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Meanwhile, Jim Swartz is nearly pitching a shutout against the steelers while Mike Smith has let up 24 points to a team that scored 9 all season.

  417. Jason Says:

    It’s just heartbreaking to be a bucs fan. We get hyped up every year but we just have to realize we are just one of the franchises that will never be a Steelers, Patriots, or Packers. Where you have one or two bad seasons and then you’re back to winning. We are consistent losers.

  418. unbelievable Says:

    So what we’ve learned through almost 3 games is the offense is ok, great st times but inept at others.

    And the defense still sucks. Even against the Rams. Smdh.

  419. DallasBuc Says:

    Mike Evans is a different eff player this year. Love it

  420. HICKERBILLY Says:

    FML.

  421. HICKERBILLY Says:

    When we are on I think we can beat anybody. But we are NEVER ON

  422. Phred Says:

    Offense: Jameis is doing okay. Some high throws but appears to be getting better. Sims hesitates too long before hitting the hole (he likes to waste time stutter-stepping). Vincent Jackson is a non-entity. Mike Evans is running sloppy routes and having trouble getting separation. Cameron Brate is okay but getting virtually no yards after the catch, except for gimme yards. Aguayo was a wasted pick, does not even rise to the level of “mediocre.”

    Defense: D-line is getting no pressure and tackling is on the sloppy side of below-average. Secondary continues to be sub-par.

    Only plusses are fewer penalties and the first turnover of the season.

  423. MadMax Says:

    JW and ME doing it! Keep it up!

  424. Rod Munch Says:

    Can’t throw those jump ball passes to Brate, white men can’t jump.

  425. MadMax Says:

    Why is JW3 overthrowing so much? WTH man?

  426. MadMax Says:

    $hit! good grief!

  427. DallasBuc Says:

    Oh sht

  428. LargoBuc Says:

    Oh my god.

  429. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    WOW….

  430. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Well there it goes. We will have a top 5 pick this year. SMH I am embarrassed to be a buccaneer fan.

  431. Bangkok Buc Says:

    WTF

  432. RustyRhino Says:

    we just cant get over shooting ourselves in the foot

  433. MadMax Says:

    We stink, we might win 4 games and we’ll be picking top 10 in the draft….smdh!

  434. Chris Says:

    Hey guys it’s ok, pink ponies and unicorns and daffodils, right St Pete

  435. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Son of ah b!+€h!!!!!-

  436. BucFan20 Says:

    So we can now start the draft talks.

  437. VaBuc Says:

    We get in the redzone and go blank in the head. Smh

  438. NJBucsFan Says:

    Mother forker

  439. Rod Munch Says:

    No awareness by the o-lineman that there was a fumble, Winston was the only one trying to chase down the Ram with the ball. Winston needs to lay into the linemen for not playing that play all the way to the goal line, he did, they did not.

  440. LargoBuc Says:

    Who wants to head to the skyway with me?
    (JK)

  441. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    DERWIN JAMES first pick

  442. Jeagan1999 Says:

    Damn, damn, damn!

  443. RustyRhino Says:

    We have to be able to run the ball if not we can not just drop back and pass every play it wont work

  444. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    largo take licht

  445. Matt B Says:

    Just so I’m clear on this… we drafted a kicker in the second round, gave up a draft pick to move up to get said kicker, and all to replace the most accurate kicker in franchise history…OK.

  446. Bangkok Buc Says:

    I’m going to bed

  447. NJBucsFan Says:

    Worst part is now I have to listen to eagle fans. The worst people on earth. They are already sending Wentz to the HOF

  448. Buc fan since 76 Says:

    This team is a horror show. They’re the Rays of football.

  449. Bucyou Says:

    Bad coaching and slow, worse players.

  450. Rojas Says:

    So Jahlil Peppers or Mike Williams ? Jackson disappeared once again.

  451. DallasBuc Says:

    4 easy points that put us within one score is on the fragile psyche of AguaOh…no. Because, we don’t need any more pass rush help, right GM?

  452. ElioT Says:

    One giant realization here.

    This Bucs team is not even close!

    Severely lacking in talent, good decision making by the front office and that weak d*ck loser mentality still has deep roots in this locker room.

    Go Sucs!

  453. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Sick to my stomach

  454. HICKERBILLY Says:

    This team is pathetic but it wouldn’t be so bad if our b!tch @ss kicker didn’t leave 4 points on the board. We are OUT of this game. Its over, you can just feel it. We have no energy and our defence sucks

  455. richbucsfan Says:

    how does 4-12 sound or perhaps 3-13 or 2-14….if this is their best at the home opener this team has N-O-T-H-I-N-G

  456. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    NJ shwartz has the defense up there humming

  457. BucFan20 Says:

    WR needed no.1

  458. BennyBucs Says:

    I’m done. I’m fcxking done man. Dirk ain’t the answer. Smith ain’t the answer. Licht might not even be the answer. This team are the same ol fcx ups. Jameis can preach all that positive $hit all he wants to, but if he can’t back it up with consistent play on the field, then it doesn’t mean a thing. The Philadelphia eagles have a new head coach, a rookie qb and less weapons overall than we do. Yet they look 10x better than the Damn bucs

  459. Rod Munch Says:

    The Rams have a good defense – they were going to make plays. The problem is our defense gave up so many points and the missed kicks, they have made this a 2 score game.

    Lets see how Jameis responds.

  460. Chicagobucsfaninpain Says:

    This is a horrible franchise! The whole thing. It won’t go away so I will. I have been reading these posts for years and never had any intentions of leaving a reply, but I must publicly announce my departure as a Bucs fan. I can’t take it, my boys can’t take it. Football is supposed to be fun and the Bucs are anything but fun. No talent, bad coaching, clueless ownership, empty stadium, etc. Originally from Tampa, now living in Chicago, we will switch to the horrible Bears. They WILL eventually turn it around, like any other NFL franchise, except the Browns and Bucs. Good luck to you guys, I’ll always have a soft spot for Bucs fans….but I also feel badly for you. You don’t deserve this, nobody does.

  461. dubstepper Says:

    oh well, if you let the Rams score 24 on you, then you don’t deserve to win anyway.

  462. LargoBuc Says:

    Dusty dont tempt me

  463. DallasBuc Says:

    Making a Jeff Fisher coached team look impressive. Sad news Bucs fans. Just sad

  464. Tbbucs3 Says:

    That TDs on Dnnovan Smiths slow feet. If Aguayo made his freakin kicks wed still be in this.

  465. Brent bull/buc Says:

    Gotta run the ball. Can’t just pass it stupid..

  466. SteveK Says:

    We are getting our arses kicked. Cmon Jameis, no more turnovers if we are going to have a chance.

  467. HICKERBILLY Says:

    I think we take peppers

  468. iamkingsu Says:

    We have to 6’5 monsters on the outside why is it so hard for us to score when we get close??

  469. LongSeason Says:

    Wow. Thought we might have a shot, but this team really needs two three drafts. I was on Roberto Aguayo’s side, but that kid sucks. And Winston. His delivery is too long. We will be lucky to win another game. Joe, keep pouring the Kool-aide. You do a great job of it.

  470. DallasBuc Says:

    Benny- take care, you tourist

  471. Rod Munch Says:

    BennyBucs – Glad to hear you’re done, try driving into a bridge embankment doing about 70mph, don’t take anyone with you, you won’t be missed. Good luck and hope to never hear from you again.

    God bless.

  472. unbelievable Says:

    Well I’ll see you guys in a week…

    F@ck this blog

    F@ck this team

    Same sh!t every season. We make the Rams look like all-pros.

    I’m over it. Peace out Bucs fans. See you in a week. We’ll see if this team can actually pull their heads out of their a$$es for a change. Sick of spending every day reading about a sh!tty team

  473. Chris Says:

    Weak team, loser mentality still prevails in this locker room, Koetter said in pre season this team comes out flat

  474. MadMax Says:

    GJ Sims!

  475. Buccfan37 Says:

    Beat the Rams? This team couldn’t beat their way out of a wet paper bag. Prove me wrong.

  476. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    dang rod u into the whiskey today

  477. MadMax Says:

    Great catch Shepard!

  478. Rod Munch Says:

    Fantastic response from Winston – fantastic!

  479. MadMax Says:

    TD!! BRRRRRRRRRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  480. HICKERBILLY Says:

    @rod
    Ohh look goal line play action AGAIN. Sit down CLOWN

  481. MadMax Says:

    Nice throw JW3!

  482. COBucs Says:

    Even if we win I still consider this a disappointment.

  483. Rod Munch Says:

    That’s alright, I don’t want us playing for a FG at the end of the game.

  484. BusteisWinston Says:

    We should have tanked last year. Wentz > Busteis

  485. Bangkok Buc Says:

    Sooooo you’re saying there’s a chance??????

  486. MadMax Says:

    And the only reason we were going for 2 is our suck a$$ kicker ROBERTO!!!!!!

  487. Chris Says:

    Rod= humanitarian of the year

  488. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    koetter and jameis fan but that was a horrible 2 point play

  489. DallasBuc Says:

    Winston is young and makes mistakes but he can ball. When have we ever had a legit baller at QB?
    Multiple rings if he is our QB in those bygone glory years regardless of HC.

  490. Rod Munch Says:

    HICKERBILLY – Dummy, do you have yet to understand the difference between the 3 inch line and the 2, 3 or 4 yard line? Wow are you an idiot. Go join Bunny in his car as he sits with it turned on with his garage closed.

  491. BigStinky Says:

    That was dumb actually, because now a FG wins it for them if we can score another TD

  492. Greg Says:

    LOL….. This site is filled with bitchy whiners. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

  493. SteveK Says:

    Way to answer, but a poop throw in the two pointer. Let see go D. Cmon GMc, get the gurley

  494. rrsrq Says:

    Bucs second round picks are boycotting, no ASJ, no Roberto Aguyo, no Noah Spence

  495. Jeagan1999 Says:

    Needs that! Gotta have the defense stay strong now!

  496. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    bucs would be tied if it wasnt for senor shank

  497. Rod Munch Says:

    Alright defense… make an f-ing play here.

  498. BucGator Says:

    The “Joes” on twitter already saying we lost this game and next week. Shame on you guys. Can’t wait for us to win and call you in the Big Dog show and hear you’re lame ass excuse.

  499. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Brindza?

  500. Tbbucs3 Says:

    New defense- Line up all 11 players across the 50 yard line, that’ll stop em.

  501. Rod Munch Says:

    Man Gurley has had no room for 97% of this game, the only opening he had at all he busted for a good play. The kid is really good however, but can’t give him endless chances. Good first 2 stops, but 3rd down the Bucs have been awful all game.

  502. DallasBuc Says:

    Maybe AguaOh,no can run the draft room and Licht can go kick FGs. The success rates are even either way.

  503. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Typical. CHOKE

  504. Rod Munch Says:

    First two plays they brought huge pressure, 3rd down they back into the soft Smith zone and got no pressure. The entire day it’s the same thing over and over. Bring it on 3rd down and make this idiot QB make a play, he sucks, but even a bad NFL QB can make a play if you give him all day.

  505. ARGH_M8E Says:

    This is torture… say it… TORTURE!!! It’s a BUCS LIFE

  506. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    LETS GO

  507. RustyRhino Says:

    3rd and 17 and we give up a first down due to penalty : flashback

  508. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    F#$K!!!!

  509. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Go RAMS, maybe if I root root for the other team, lol. Sunday F me day

  510. Jeagan1999 Says:

    3 and 17….and we commit a penalty!

  511. SteveK Says:

    Great job by the D until Verner effed up.

  512. Rod Munch Says:

    How many 3rds and 17 have the defense gave up today by just sitting back and playing a zone? That doesn’t work when you don’t have NFL safeties and don’t get pressure. Even ASJ knows that and he’s an idiot.

  513. Bucsfanphilly Says:

    I’ve seen enough…The Kicker’s gotta go, total head case.
    And Verner is consistently out of place, he’s a liability on the field in pass coverage

  514. SteveK Says:

    You just can’t wait win with all the turnovers and penalties

  515. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    Think i just broke my fukkin hand

  516. jugheadfla Says:

    wow that was sad

  517. MadMax Says:

    We need a safety 1st pick……good grief!

  518. DallasBuc Says:

    Oh dear. What a mess

  519. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Annnnd, there goes the game.

  520. COBucs Says:

    LA wins nice.

  521. SteveK Says:

    We need a stop here! Let’s go!

  522. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Well that didn’t work lol

  523. HICKERBILLY Says:

    F#CK!! THIS TEAM THIS IS AN EMBARRASSMENT. GLAZES SELL THE TEAM AND STOP DEPRESSING THE LOCALS

  524. NJBucsFan Says:

    Really. Tavon Austin?!?! Wtf

  525. Jason Says:

    Case Kenuum wakes up against the bucs like fu*k yeah!!! I’m going to the hall of fame!!

  526. J theezy Says:

    The secondary is str8 garbage

  527. dubstepper Says:

    Fisher just a much better coach. He’s always owned us. Koetter needs help.

  528. Rojas Says:

    Lol why you put a safety on Austin blows my mind. Especially ours

  529. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Who r the top 5 draft picks this year??? 1-4

  530. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    38 points…..Smith should be VERY proud

  531. MadMax Says:

    Whoa LUV….dont do that Brother, lol. Not worth it!

  532. Rod Munch Says:

    Tandy on Austin? Really? Like OK I take back what I said about bringing people if you’re putting a 5th string safety on probably the fastest player in the NFL. Wow. Hick, are you actually Mike Smith?

  533. Bangkok Buc Says:

    What a joke

  534. Mcruzer Says:

    I feel like jeff fishers bitch

  535. NJBucsFan Says:

    A team that had 0 TDs in 2 games scores 5 against us.

  536. rrsrq Says:

    Ladies and gentlemen, your Tampa Bay Buccaneers has made made Case Keenum career,

  537. SteveK Says:

    Holy sh!t! What a phucking joke.

    No more firing go firing coaches. Fire these damn weak sauce players

  538. Rojas Says:

    Get rid of our kicker, safeties, verner

  539. BucFan20 Says:

    Anything else Greg?

  540. Chris Says:

    Rams have quadrupled their season total

  541. wesley Says:

    Thats it i’m switching teams.

  542. lightningbuc Says:

    So, Licht waived ASJ (so much for innocent until proven guilty) but kept Aguayo. No wonder this dumpster fire is still burning strong.

  543. canadian bucsfan Says:

    Why bother putting a CB on Tavon Austin smh

  544. LongSeason Says:

    Wow. Was Mike Smith brought in to fix the defense or wreck it further? The Rams hadn’t scored a touchdown until they play our movable and breakable force. More Kool-Aid please?

  545. Rod Munch Says:

    A QB sneak for the 2pt conversion? Well Jeff Fisher is their coach, and that is a Jeff Fisher call – if McNair was his QB.

  546. rrsrq Says:

    At some point, we are going to realize that speed makes a difference

  547. DallasBuc Says:

    Put a backup safety on Tavon. That math is fuzzy

  548. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Broncos and panthers up next…..can u say 1 – 4?

  549. cmurda Says:

    The Bucs aren’t good. I accept it. No improvement on this team. JW has made no improvements. Careless with the football. Defense is weak sauce

  550. unbelievable Says:

    Same as it ever was’d

  551. SteveK Says:

    This crap is terrible. Why are we so bad? 4 coaches since Gruden, how bout these crap ass players. How bout that crap ass Dominik and 22% of this roster.

  552. DallasBuc Says:

    …fuzzy Lovie math

  553. TB13 Says:

    We suck. Fire Koetter and Smith. Trade Winston and cut Martin. Move the Bucs to London.

  554. Greg Says:

    LOL….BucsFan20…..I think I am safe standing my ground on the character of the people in this thread.

  555. Bucnut2 Says:

    JW is a turnover machine

  556. Bangkok Buc Says:

    Week 3 and we should be talking about the draft already.
    Thanks Bucs for crushing my dreams once again.

  557. Simpleasthat Says:

    Well @ least I made the right decision to listen to this debacle on the radio and grill out as opposed to going to a bar and spending my hard earned money and looking like a jackass for rooting for these perpetual losers.

  558. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    lightningbuc Says
    “So, Licht waived ASJ (so much for innocent until proven guilty)”

    I would say the video pretty much proved him guilty.

  559. Couch Fan Says:

    Absolutely unacceptable performance. Defense is horrid.

  560. Rojas Says:

    Good point CanadianBucsfan

  561. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    safeties suck good planning lcht

  562. Chris Says:

    Well we should have known we were in trouble today : the Rams haven’t scored a td since 2015, and Case Keenum was starting

  563. STEVEN UNGER Says:

    these safety are a garbage fire.

  564. LargoBuc Says:

    Same slop different year.

  565. Matt B Says:

    Unreal. The Lambs can’t score a touchdown. The cure – play the Bucs. We have talented players on defense. I believe in our Defensive Coordinator. What gives?

  566. Kevin Says:

    just like in atlanta, offense moves the ball ,scroed points and the defense loses it. How many points did the rams score again the first two weeks?

    Tell me why Mike Smith deserves to keep his job???

  567. Matts17 Says:

    Just more of the same. This D is simply awful. Breakdowns everywhere, stupid penalties, missed assignments.

  568. Rod Munch Says:

    Just a reminder, under Lovie the Bucs had a top 10 defense last year, even with zero NFL caliber safeties.

  569. Greg Says:

    Mock draft season!

  570. IndyBucsFan Says:

    I’m so tired of wasting my money and time with this team.

  571. The Dom is gone... Licht??? Says:

    Fire Lovie! Oh we did… Simply no talent on the defensive side of the ball! Can’t wait to play the Falcons again.

  572. ElioT Says:

    Bucs forced Case Keenam to beat them and he did.

    This team has such a long way to go. Bottom 5 team in the league. Holes almost everywhere.

    Go Sucs!

    Siege my c**k!

  573. iamkingsu Says:

    3rd and 17 draw play for 22 3rd and 17 penalty lmao

  574. lightningbuc Says:

    Look, I hated Mark Dominik, but not sure Jason Licht is any better. The Aguayo debacle is a fireable offense. Could have had a decent WR or safety in the 2nd, instead we’re stuck with some POS kicker that Jaboo referred.

  575. LargoBuc Says:

    NOW can we appologize to Gruden?

  576. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    I predicted 1-4 before the bye week, so I’m not exactly freaking. I always figured we would get better by the bye week.

  577. HICKERBILLY Says:

    This team is horrible. We are a 4-12 team. At least when we bust out the fire mike smith billboards we only have to change the LOVIE to MIKE. Save some $ too

  578. wesley Says:

    Season is already over, this is why the NFL sucks. Bring on hockey!!

  579. A-Train Says:

    What the H%((

    Someone call Brooks and have him kick these players in the A$$

    Really… No desire to win.

    Get a Check.

  580. ElioT Says:

    Such a long way to go King Jameis included.

    Hope Koetter can keep this ship together.

  581. iamkingsu Says:

    Even Lovie doesn’t give up 37 to the Rams

  582. Fire Goodell Says:

    Remember, real football doesn’t begin until November.

  583. A-Train Says:

    these BULL $^&^ calls

  584. BucFan20 Says:

    Oh I forgot. It is rigged. that is why this team looks like sh!t.

  585. Jason Says:

    JW is so inconsistent. For everyone good throw he has 5 bad throws

  586. Tackleblockwin Says:

    So tired of watching this D get all excited about making good plays on 1st and 2nd down…then give up ridiculous yards on 3rd and long. They need to be preparing for third and long immediately after 2nd down stops.

  587. DallasBuc Says:

    Humph has abused this Ram defense

  588. Justin Tropp Says:

    We deserve better than you, Tampa bay!

  589. Rod Munch Says:

    Offense has been good today for the most part. The INT was a bobble, the fumble/sack happens but was quick, wasn’t on Winston for holding the ball too long. Tons of holding calls on the offense, and Sims isn’t a feature back, they can’t go into next week with Sims as the 1st down back, he’s great as a 3rd down back.

    But Winston did his job today against a good defense. So that’s the positive.

  590. A-Train Says:

    Humphries is the 3rd WR or the 1st?

  591. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    bucs have minimal talent on defense

  592. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @lightningbuc

    You would fire him over the one pick? That’s a bit extreme.

    Look, I think I’m pretty much an established anti-Licht guy…but his drafts have been pretty decent.

    And plenty of people predicted our kicker would need a year to acclimate. Only the naive claimed kickers don’t need time.

  593. HICKERBILLY Says:

    @ rod stop saying that we had a 10 ten defence because we didn’t and if u think that u need to get loves c#ck out of Ur @ss. U didn’t watch games last year obviously.

  594. ElioT Says:

    @DallasBuc

    Lol

  595. DallasBuc Says:

    Humph with another great catch

  596. Rod Munch Says:

    Safe to say Humphries is clear the 2nd WR on the team. Should have cut Jackson over the offseason and used that money to go after Norman.

  597. Bucnut2 Says:

    1-4 here we come. Where are you guys saying we would go 10-6????? Let’s just say looks more like 6-10.

  598. VaBuc Says:

    Done wih this team just horrible so sad that whole defense should get cut e ceot kwon david and hargraves just pathetic and we should fire mike smith back to back weeks 40 points let his ass go asap we should tank the rest of the season doesnt matter who we draft were gonna suck next yr too and the yr after that then jameis will leave to go play baseball mike evan will go play in the nba doug martin will lay bricks gerald mccoy will be a cop lavonte david a school teacher and kwon on another team

  599. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Also…we’re not losing this game by 4 points. We’re losing by 11. So unless we get closer, our kicker did not cost us the game. Our QB and defense did.

  600. Jason Says:

    Every one*

  601. ElioT Says:

    Minimal talent accross the board.

    This team has a very, very long way to go to even be ina playoff conversation.

  602. DallasBuc Says:

    Great call

  603. Deathaneers Says:

    I think I’m done with this team. I love my Bucs but this is it. The defense is horrible (maybe coach Smith wasn’t the problem). Jamarcus Winston was a wasted pick.

  604. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    who is this fukkin DJ

  605. Bucnut2 Says:

    The worst offense in the NFL jus put 37 on us.

  606. Chris Says:

    Lol Bonzai, giving a year , he’s not a friggin QB, name one kicker in the history of the league taking in the 2nd round that need to acclimate . It’s a bad bad pick

  607. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    TouchDOWN!!!!!!!!

  608. Rod Munch Says:

    dusthty – Bucs have some elite talent on the defense, the problem is it’s only a few players and they have zero depth. That’s what happens when you go mulitple drafts with only a single defensive pick and you miss on all your FA’s.

  609. HICKERBILLY Says:

    Now about that 4 points

  610. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Do NOT go for 2. We need a TD again.

  611. MadMax Says:

    TD ME13! GJ

  612. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Told ya.

  613. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    cut vjax he has run wrong route at least 5 times

  614. ElioT Says:

    All our offense’s production has been completely reactionary. Big problem.

  615. DallasBuc Says:

    I’ll take all of Winston’s pass inaccuracies. Kid can effn ball

  616. rrsrq Says:

    Why does this team tease

  617. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @HICKERBILLY

    Yeah, about that 4 points. We’re losing by 5.

    @lightningbuc

    You would fire him over the one pick? That’s a bit extreme.

    ________________

    Not just the kicker pick. He has done absolutely nothing to make this defense better – NOTHING. It gets worse every year.

  621. Rod Munch Says:

    What was that by Jackson on the 2pt play? No replay so not sure, but Jackson has fallen off a cliff. I wonder if they could flip him to someone for a late round lottery pick. However Jackson normally starts off every year looking awful then turns it up right when you think he’s washed up, so hopefully he’ll do that again.

  622. iamkingsu Says:

    I have a Falcons fan in my text thread because he’s been telling me all off-season how bad Smitty is

  623. Rojas Says:

    Evans and hump can’t tell who had a better game both played amazing today. Wish I could say the same about Jackson

  624. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    Maxx maybe i’ll type better with the left -lol

  625. DallasBuc Says:

    Deathneers- buh bye

  626. Buccoon Says:

    speechless!!!! The city of Tampa needs to move this stadium some where else!!!! Every game at Raymond james stadium sucks!!!!! It’s like the home for all 32 teams!!!!.. I have three questions!!!!

    1 why is number 30 still on our team???? He makes 1 or 2 impact plays a year. Teams are not scared of him at all as well as conte!!!

    2 brent grimes??? Send him home to his wife as well as verner!!!!
    3. Why haven’t the glazers realized that this stadium that they keep investing in is played out. Other teams come here in play like it’s a home game for them!!!!. Goodbye nice because I can’t do another year of this I’m 26 in I’ve been dealing with this since I was 15. 2005 till now!!! I’ve given up on this team especially the owners.

  627. Buc_The_World Says:

    I have defended this team over and over, I can’t do it anymore. We deserve better than this as fans. This team is a joke. I know we have injuries that is no excuse, the reason we are losing is because the team is making too many mistakes and bad decisions from coaching to the players. I’m sick of this s**t!!!!!

  628. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    We could get a safety now. Hmmn. If so, we would have to do it fast.

    This one is on defense right now.

  629. Rod Munch Says:

    Oh wow, falls down at the 6. Still have the 2 min warning and all our timeouts.

    You know what that means, the Bucs will stop them on 1st and 2nd down, the go into a soft zone and give up 18 yards on 3rd down.

  630. ElioT Says:

    Defense?

  631. MadMax Says:

    Come on D!!! need a TO!

  632. Pewter Lou Says:

    Defense Defense!! Thanks a lot Aguayo,smh

  633. A-Train Says:

    Good question..

    VJAX not playing with his usual heart…???

  634. Buccfan37 Says:

    The Rams are just a better team. What else is old news?

  635. SteveK Says:

    Good thing our 2nd kicker pinned them back for our D.

  636. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    I just LOVe how so-called fans create new usernames to say how tired of the team they are.

  637. MadMax Says:

    Lol, hope you’re ok LUV!

  638. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    Get’emmm!!!!

  639. Rod Munch Says:

    OK 3rd and what, 10? So this is make or break for the defense… probably break if the rest of the day means anything.

  640. dubstepper Says:

    As bad as this team looks I love the fight they have!

  641. A-Train Says:

    The Rams didn’t have a TD until today is that right?

  642. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    After this I’ll hit up the hospital –lol

  643. LUVMYBUCS Says:

    Yesss!!!

  644. DallasBuc Says:

    Bonzai- agreed

  645. Rod Munch Says:

    Does Jeff Fisher do a Jeff Fisher and run up the middle?

  646. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    fitzpatrick w 6 ints against chiefs defense uh oh

  647. HICKERBILLY Says:

    @ bonzai
    If we had that 4 points we could kick the PAT and be tied.

  648. COBucs Says:

    Its weird cuz VJAX was super reliable now he’s like a 5 day old dead body. I dont get it.

  649. A-Train Says:

    R U sh!tting me

  650. Rod Munch Says:

    Are you mother f-ing shi#%#$# kidding me, a Lightning delay. Go f yourself refs.

  651. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    A-Train Says
    “The Rams didn’t have a TD until today is that right?”

    That means nothing. They would have eventually scored one anyway.

  652. Pewter Lou Says:

    Talk about a momentum killer

  653. DallasBuc Says:

    What crap. Figures

  654. COBucs Says:

    Come on man.

  655. MadMax Says:

    Just when we have momentum, a weather delay…..

  656. HICKERBILLY Says:

    There goes ANY kind of momentum at all

  657. Rod Munch Says:

    This idiot drawing on TV has the stadium in the wrong place, he thinks we play at McDill. Probably the same idiot who said Mike Evans can’t get open against man coverage.

  658. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @HICKERBILLY

    Okay, you got me there 😉

  659. iamkingsu Says:

    I asked him why mike Evans doesn’t get targeted in the redzone. He said same thing happened with Julio and why he averaged 6-8 touchdowns a season under Koetter

  660. rrsrq Says:

    I’m gonna need this defense to step up, is this good or bad

  661. Rod Munch Says:

    How many times has lightning struck an NFL football field with players on it and people in the stands? Play the game, it’s not even raining there. I hate these safety first soccer moms running the NFL now.

  662. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Stopping the game was dumb.

    Their defense will not get to rest…and them being tired gave us a small chance. Refs just cost us any chance of a victory. Well, not ANY…but it would take a miracle.

  663. BucfaninMi Says:

    Even God is against the Bucs.

  664. HICKERBILLY Says:

    This must be what it feels like to be a browns fan

  665. MadMax Says:

    Gotta find a softer punching bag LUV, lol. Hope you’re good though.

  666. Jersey Buc Says:

    Somewhere, Lovie is laughing so hard he can’t even breathe. Even when they win a rare game, it feels like a loss. The distance between them and the Super Bowl champions is amazing. Forget conference or even division. I judge a teams play compared to whoever is ruling the league at the moment. Unbelievable how far they have to go to even be considered a competent team…and yet, what are we fans to do, root for someone else? You wait several months to root for these guys, and this is what we receive. Rams scored 9 points in 8 quarters. NINE!!! 37 points. Utter disgrace.

  667. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Their defense WILL get to rest I mean.

  668. A-Train Says:

    Bonzai

    Really they had not scored one TD in two games and score 5 today….

    Come on even you have to call some BS on that one..

    The Rams please..

  669. DallasBuc Says:

    Like Spielman. Nice to have a great vet ball player that knows what he is talking about without trying too hard to entertain.

  670. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Browns fans: “This must be what it feels like to be a Tampa fan…”

  671. Bucnut2 Says:

    When is someone going to start questioning Licht??? RA was a horrible pick and we traded up for him. We could have had 2 starteres.

  672. Rod Munch Says:

    Wow on TV they show there was a lightning bolt… in Florida… in rainy season. Amazing stuff guys.

  673. HICKERBILLY Says:

    @ JOE’S
    Please split this thread up next week with 1st half and 2nd half. It is terribly slow to load by the 3rd quarter

  674. Buccfan37 Says:

    This lightning delay might be just what the Bucs need if they can stop this third down attempt after they return to play.

  675. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    So, if they end the game, does that mean we replay them? I’d take that!

  676. Buccoon Says:

    How can u only draft one corner when it was so obvious we needed like 5 after last year.. Then u get a kicker that just not NFL material!!! In the second round??? Good God almighy!!! Not only that but no wide receivers was drafted?????

  677. unbelievable Says:

    Lightning delay definitely killed the small chance we had at a comeback.

    Oh well, 1-4 it is…. #itsabucslife

  678. Rod Munch Says:

    Buccaneer Bonzai – Haha… ugh, this is terrible.

  679. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @HICKERBILLY

    Are you on a mobile device? This site isn’t built for mobile. I wish it were. It uses WordPress, and it could be configured to detect mobile devices and load a different, faster site.

  680. DallasBuc Says:

    Has been a tough game on both sides but we have also seen both sides compete and fight back too. This team is not ready to compete week in and week out unfortunately but there is fight in this team that you never saw under incompetent Lovie Smith.
    Like the effort and holding out that it translates to consistently competitive football soon

  681. Rod Munch Says:

    Winston is on fire… Defense just made 2 plays in a row… Bucs are at the 2 min warning at the 5 yard line, still have 2 TO’s left if they can stop the Rams…

    AND

    A lightning bolt.

    Well just a reminder I think the Lightning start preseason this week. Maybe this is a big PR stunt, if so it’s poor timing.

  682. BigStinky Says:

    So, who thinks we are going to stop them and score a TD?

  683. Wes Says:

    There goes any momentum we had

  684. rrsrq Says:

    This helps the Rams defense if we get the ball back.

  685. richbucsfan Says:

    it’s obvious this team either has severe internal issues or they just suck…they are passionless which indicates to me there are personal issues flying around…see you next season…

  686. Rod Munch Says:

    Man we are giving Jeff Fisher a ton of time to think about his play calling, I mean his playbook says in this situation, run up the middle, but I wonder if he considers running behind a guard instead. His mind must be in overdrive considering all (both) the options.

  687. Lee Cohen Says:

    Licht needs to bring in kicking talent tomorrow.

  688. Dr A Says:

    It’s not 4 pts we have lost due to the kicker, it’s 6 pts, because if he hits those kicks they don’t need to go for 2 twice! Hes just not NFL material.

  689. Buc1987 Says:

    Brink back Brindza!

  690. Buc1987 Says:

    Bring too…

  691. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    One bright side, even if we lose…we have scored 32 points. Really, that is an improvement. We only scored 31 points or more twice last year. We’ve done that in 2 of 3 games so far this year.

  692. Tbbucs3 Says:

    We came back and have a chance to and all there is is negativity from fans. Doesnt matter how bad you play all that matter is the WIN (see cowboys game last year). No way theres this much negativity on JoeRamsFan.com

  693. LifeOfABucFan Says:

    Since Panthers lost today and if Saints beat Falcons, aren’t we still going to be in first place tied with Falcons??

  694. Rod Munch Says:

    richbucsfan – It’s pretty simple, the defense has the same issue it had last year, no NFL caliber safeties and corners who can’t cover (maybe H3 can but he’s still young). So the Bucs go into zones to try to cover for the lack of talent they have in the secondary. It’s not a “heart” or effort issue, it’s a talent issue. Bucs have excellent pair of LBs, have McCoy at DT who is great, they’ve tried to give him talent on the line but really it’s still just him there. It all goes back to the safeties and the Bucs thinkin Grimes, who was pretty bad last year in Miami, was going to be our top DB.

    But the offense has been impressive. This is a very good defense we’re playing and Winston has responded well. He’s had a lot of pressure on him which has lead to a few sailing balls, but he’s made many more plays. Winston to me is really showing a lot here.

  695. DallasBuc Says:

    richbuttfan- are you watching the game through a brail system or is it a multitude of permanent sensory deprivation that leads you to outwardly state that this team is passionless?
    I’ll respectfully wait for the possible translator to render our convo

  696. MadMax Says:

    Whats up 87, you there?

  697. Simpleasthat Says:

    Roberto Agymissico

  698. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @Rod Munch

    It will take a little time for our defensive rookies to acclimate. Things will improve by our 6th game.

  699. A-Train Says:

    ASJ just got a call from Aguayo to come pick him up…

    Aguayo will be cut after next game…

    ASJ is leaving the bar to come and get him if Manziel will stop taking shots

  700. DallasBuc Says:

    87 woke up. Have a good nap old man?

  701. Rod Munch Says:

    NFL Redzone is so worth the money, it’s just fantastic.

  702. Buc1987 Says:

    Ha ha ha ha got a 2nd job for the hecks sake of it…

  703. Birdman Says:

    Fellas we’re stop one third and 10+ and we’re a 2 minute no-huddle away from victory.
    You gotta believe! Lets go D make a play!

  704. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    lol…poor Aguayo.

    You guys need to get a grip, lol. He’ll work out fine over the long term.

    That said…props when props are earned…he blew it today.

  705. Buc1987 Says:

    Jameis is a WARRIOR!

  706. meh Says:

    How the &@$& do we give up that many points to the Rams?

  707. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Rod, how much is red zone?

  708. Rojas Says:

    Hopefully this delay doesn’t mess us up.. but then again we haven’t played well on 3rd downs.. I have a feeling it’s going to Austin.

  709. Warrenfb12 Says:

    i have literally zero faith in the defense to get a stop on Case Keenum and the Rams.

  710. Warrenfb12 Says:

    definitely going to Austin.

  711. Buc1987 Says:

    I still believe they will win this game.

    It’s part of my 8 wins so it has to be.

  712. Rod Munch Says:

    Bonzai – They might improve some but the talent just isn’t there on defense right now. Bucs will need to win shootouts and hope players like David, Kwon and McCoy can make plays on their own – which 2 of the 3 did today. If H3 picks it up as the season goes along that will be a major plus.

  713. Bucyou Says:

    How does Keith Tandy keep his job year after year? Must have pictures of Kut blowing someone.

  714. MadMax Says:

    Yeah, redzone is the jit! I get it with my sports package with cable, around $10 extra i think.

  715. Bucnut2 Says:

    This is a terrible team. 4-12 sounds about right. We are where the browns are

  716. Rod Munch Says:

    Bonzai – With Brighthouse it’s $10/month as part of their sports pack – which you can have for football season and then cancel. On Fios it’s $50 I think or part of a higher tier. Regardless the price it’s so worth it, it made me have no desire to get Directv since they do such a great job of switching games and keeping it interesting. Find a stream of it next weekend and check it out, it’s really great.

  717. Bucnut2 Says:

    87- please send me some of what you are smoking.

  718. Rod Munch Says:

    Warrenfb12 – Run up the middle… it’s Jeff Fisher and it’s a key play, he’s probably the most conservative coach in the NFL in that situation. Anything that is 3rd and long is screen or draw, but since they’re near the goalline I think that rules out screen and draw since it takes too long to setup, so a straight run of the middle. They could try a hard slant, but I think that’s way too risky for .500 Fisher.

  719. A-Train Says:

    Someone tell me where FOX got these two commentators…

    One is so old he can find his Mic

    The other is talking about soccer

  720. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @Rod

    First year defense. H3 and Noah could start to click and that would turn things around. Our safeties suck though.

  721. Buc1987 Says:

    Bucnut…it’s called being a Bucs fan.

    Something you know nothing about.

  722. Rod Munch Says:

    Tell Winston he’s on primetime TV and will be the only game in the nation… if the Bucs do stop them and they give Winston the ball, in the spotlight, with everything on the line, I like the chances – just make sure Winston knows everyone is watching.

    BUT the defense has to do their job first, and that scares me dramatically more than needing a TD.

  723. Phred Says:

    For the record — if Aguayo hits the initial PAT as well as the FG. And the Bucs kicked PATs rather than their two failed 2-pt conversions (trying to make up for the earlier failed PAT), The Bucs would be up 38-37 right now.

    If the Bucs lose, it is Aguayo’s fault.

  724. BigStinky Says:

    Wonder how this is going to turn out? Probably a loss I’m sure

  725. Lee Cohen Says:

    Someone call George Yarno – we need a kicker!

  726. Rod Munch Says:

    Bonzai – Yeah, if Ayers and Spence get going the d-line could be in shape – but the issue is still a complete lack of talent at safety. Someone earlier said move Banks to safety and I’ve thought the same thing since last year, he would seem to be a fit there based on his skills, but they should have started that over the summer, might be too late to try it now.

  727. A-Train Says:

    If we get the front 4 to get more pressure the safeties would have less problems

  728. Dr A Says:

    It’s most definitely the kickers fault how do you miss wide left when your kicking from the right hash! He’s done there’s no coming back at least this year for him. Cut him and find another kicker no one would pick him up at this point anyways.

  729. Matt B Says:

    These knuckleheads on Fox don’t understand that our kicker has cost us 6 points, not 4, because of the failed 2-pt conversion attempts that never would’ve been attempted if he had made the first PAT. The same can be said for the Rams failed 2pt attempt that they would’ve never tried so this game should be tied.

  730. Chris Says:

    I feel like Bonzais the kid from The Bad News Bears. Well we got no hitter by the worst team in the league . But on the bright spot, we had three foul balls and someone almost made it to first base

  731. DallasBuc Says:

    Phred is correct. Thought the same thing. Unacceptable for him to struggle this much on routine NFL kicks. No excuses for him and no excuses for the guy who passed on 2 quality picks in exchange for his arse.

  732. Rod Munch Says:

    Morten Andersen, probably the best kicker ever, was only 2 of 5 on FGs his rookie season. His second season he was only 18 of 24 and missed a PAT from the 2 yard line. Kickers often struggle coming into the NFL, it’s why teams don’t draft them highly, you have to adjust to a different ball and not having wide hashes, plus more pressure – from the media and on the field.

    Our kicker has not done well with the pressure so far, but this is what happens with a young kicker. You don’t cut him, but man if lets say he stubbed his toe and had to go on IR, I think you got a totally new kicker next year. You do not however want to give up on this guy, there’s a reason he was such a top pick, it wasn’t like the Bucs were the only team in the NFL that wanted him, he was projected as a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

    Personally I’d find a way for him to “hurt” and then sign Murry back, then next year we will see a guy who is ready and will be here for the next decade.

  733. Chris Says:

    If we had any safeties or cbs, we have seal clubbed this team

  734. Chris Says:

    And the Saints were how good with Morten?

  735. Rod Munch Says:

    There has been no lightning near the stadium for about 10 minutes now and the storms are disappearing since the sun is down, hopefully they dopes at the NFL will get this game restarted her very quickly as there are more storms off to the east, but even if they stay together they won’t get there for a half hour or so. This is their window, 10-15 mins to warm-up, get the game restarted.

  736. iamkingsu Says:

    I think we’re stuck with these safeties because Smitty loved him some Thomas Decoud and Will Moore

  737. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    OMG…at this point, I just want the game over with. Win or lose. I’m exhausted and want to go to bed. lol

  738. Rod Munch Says:

    Bonzai – You want to go to bed at 8pm, what are you 90?

  739. DallasBuc Says:

    Winston is a winner. The game is in reach. I like our chances.

  740. COBucs Says:

    LOL

  741. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    The storms are now in Bradenton and Sarasota. So why are the Bucs not playing?

  742. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @Rod

    I get up really early to write. add a back and neck injury and my energy drops quickly in the evenings.

  743. Bucs Fan Since '76 Says:

    Our safeties are terrible. Verner is terrible. Smith is old and playing poorly. The Rams’s offense is abysmal. We’ve looked like the Fighting Lovies for three games now. I guess maybe Schwartz would’ve been a better hire. We cannot give up 35 points/game and expect to win. And Jameis cannot keep turning the ball over. Pretty frustrating start to the season.

  744. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    That and I only take a day of so off every few months.

  745. Dr A Says:

    They can cut him no one will pick him up now anyways. Maybe if he felt like his career was on the line he could improve because this no competition thing hasn’t worked for him.

  746. This Guy Right Here Says:

    Go no huddle and stomp on some motherfcukin necks.

  747. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    @Bucs Fan Since ’76

    To be fair, it took 3 year to build the offense. To expect it to only take one year for the defense is asking a bit much.

  748. DallasBuc Says:

    Bonzai- I can ask my son’s grandmother if she is willing to part with a few Luby’s coupons if you are interested

  749. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    We have to get the ball back first, don’t we?

  750. Rod Munch Says:

    20 min warning just given, so game starts at 8:30.

  751. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    LOL, DallasBuc!

  752. Rod Munch Says:

    So the delay will be over an hour and let me ask the obvious question – did any lightning bolts hit the stadium, more or less the field. No. It’s never happens. Just play the game and stop being a bunch of soccer moms.

  753. This Guy Right Here Says:

    I had Aguayo’s back thru all preseason, but that little fcuker cost us a game today…

  754. MadMax Says:

    Game starts at 8:28

  755. DallasBuc Says:

    Bonzai- not saying it’s easy or that she will part with the free pie slice ones but I’m willing to go hand to hand combat with the woman if it makes your aches and sad pains a lil’ easier

  756. lurker Says:

    13 minutes and counting…

    rams had tons of time to come up with a play
    so did mike smith

  757. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Stop, DallasBuc. This old heart cannot handle more laughs tonight.

  758. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    OMG…10 more minutes? Someone wake me up when it starts…

    lol

  759. Rod Munch Says:

    Lurker – lots of time for Jeff Fisher to great creative… meaning run up the middle.

  760. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Fuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is torture

  761. lurker Says:

    rams will run to make bucs call timeout. punt on 4th and leave it to their defense. it will be in jameis christ’s hands. will he deliver us from evil?

  762. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    So…Winston is 32-18 on passing for the day. 364 yards.

    That is pretty good.

    He’s a gunslinger, so the picks will always be there. But if he can get a little more accurate on the deep throws, he’ll more than make up for the picks.

  763. Rod Munch Says:

    If the game gets delayed again can it just go down as a tie?

  764. lurker Says:

    it would suck to wait all this time and lose…

    let’s go bucs!

  765. This Guy Right Here Says:

    Havent been following this thread today…. But its a gotdamn Motherfcukin shame how DIRTY Jameis’ jersey got… FLAG HAPPY DONOVAN SMITH, & the OLINE can go fcuk themselves!

    And Aguyao?!? FCUK YOU TOO!

  766. Rod Munch Says:

    Bonzai – His only pick was a bobble by Sims, wasn’t his fault. His passes have been fairly good, but the Rams have an excellent DL and they put him under a ton of pressure on most of those where the ball went high, but Winston made a ton of plays. I do agree however, Winston is more Favre than he is Rodgers – obviously not to compare him to them at this point but just the style of play.

    I hate however this cooldown. Winston is streaky and it’s hard to be good streaky when you’re cold – and he was white hot.

  767. DallasBuc Says:

    Bonzai- I’m just enjoying the fact that we are still breaking each other’s balls and it is not full of the usual invective. Don’t worry, we’ll get back to regularly scheduled programming after the game mercifully concludes.

  768. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    sigh….Fisher is ready. I’m not feeling too good about this.

    I would accept a miracle right now.

  769. Rod Munch Says:

    I felt good about this 85 minutes ago…

  770. Chris Says:

    Damn, long ass time to draw up a play to their only we Austin to get open for a 13 yrd gain or another PI penalty

    @DallasBuc

    Honestly, I’d prefer to skip all the bickering from now on. At my age, it’s more exhausting than wiping my rear end.

  772. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

  777. Rod Munch Says:

  784. This Guy Right Here Says:

  785. MadMax Says:

    Why didnt Winston run it? wth?

  786. Rojas Says:

    What in the hell was winston doing

  787. BuccoDav Says:

    WTH was that? Is Jameis in the concussion protocol?

  788. dusthty rhothdes Says:

    jeff fischer sux as coach cheese n rice

  789. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Why didn’t Winston just run the ball? He crossed the line.

    This one is on our kicker. Hope he makes up for it many times over the next decade!

    I’m out. Time for bed!

  790. BigStinky Says:

    What was Jameis thinking right there? Once he was past the LOS he had no choice but to run it in

  791. Jolly Bucs Fan Says:

    The he’ll didn’t they use that timeout after that Sims play. Wasted so much time

  792. Jason Says:

    That looked like Carlos Beltran looking at the last strike!!! JW is the smartest dumba$$ I have ever seen as a quarter back. And we have two timeouts and don’t use them. WTF!!!

  793. Bucyou Says:

    Is Winston also stupid?

  794. Rod Munch Says:

    Man why in the world didn’t they spend a TO when Sims was inbounds – that made no sense.

    Winston on the last play was trying to look downfield to keep the Rams back since they thought he could still throw, it was actually a good idea but he waited like a half second to long. No one was open there so there was no play – obviously didn’t know his offensive lineman had given up on the play and had someone coming from behind.

  795. Chris Says:

    Why didn’t just throw the effing ball up to one of the 6’5 receivers, this team is as brain dead as it comes, no wonder ASJ was going to Winstons at 4am. Cmon Bonzai hit me with some of your hippy everything’s groovy when you see it through rose colored glasses and a hit of LSD optimism, damn it and I’m not drunk but I need a drink now

  796. BigStinky Says:

    Plenty of people to blame this loss on, starting with the kicker

    ____________________

    You just figured that out today?

  798. Bucyou Says:

    Really incompetent on so many
    levels. You don’t throw to a 6 foot 5 receiver not once?

  799. ChanEpic Says:

    Stick a fork in VJax. I hate saying that but he’s done.

  800. Rod Munch Says:

    How do you people not see what Winston was doing – he knew he was across the line but kept up like he was passing since he was a dead duck when he was 15 yards out if the Rams players didn’t stay on their guys – what he didn’t know was someone was behind him. Anyone saying Winston cost us the game after he threw for 400 yards and brought the team back from 2 scores down with 4 mins left, come on, give it a rest.

  801. Rod Munch Says:

    Hey if the Saints win on Monday night we’re still tied for first place.

  802. Chris Says:

    Than that was the slowest fake like I’m gonna throw in history

  803. Dr A Says:

    Winston didn’t cost us the game it’s on the kicker.

  804. Rod Munch Says:

    Chris – He went 10 yards with the Rams players never leaving their guys past the line of scrimmage, they still thought he was going to throw – he got the 5 yard line and if the guy doesn’t come up from behind he probably scores since the Rams had only just figured out he was 10 yards past the line of scrimmage. It was f-ing brillant and it 100% worked except the guy coming up from behind.

  805. Chris Says:

    Yeah and we were in playoff contention the last two years, we still stink to high hell of a loser mentality. Problem is, these guys don’t hate losing as much as the fans do. It’s in their system, you need a complete purge of this team

  806. Rod Munch Says:

    Winston nor the kicker lost us the game, the defense gave up 31 points to an awful offense.

  807. Bucyou Says:

    The loss is on the team. Defense sucked, no run game and slow ass receivers.

  808. BigStinky Says:

    What a bad game that was, I sure wish Jameis and Aguayo were more accurate. Maybe with a little more practice I guess

  809. satchseven Says:

    Somewhere, Lovie is laughing so hard he can’t even breathe. lol i know that is true.

    this team was two drafts away but you jokers could not see it. then the failure to replace VJ with a young speed guy in the draft instead of picking a kicker was dumb.

  810. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Aguayo cost us 4 points (1XP+1FG) but don’t forget the 2 Two point conversions we blew trying to make up for those blunders. A TD in essence!

  811. ARGH_M8E Says:

    And oh ya… a lot of other STUPID stuff!!!

  812. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Not one enjoyable game in years…….. I mean GIVE US A F’n BREAK

  813. John Says:

    What a horrendously stupid football play. Throw it up for grabs, moron.

  814. Dr A Says:

    Come on man it’s the kickers fault we lost we left 6 easy points on the field because he can’t hit a pat or a 40 yard field goal. Let him own this loss and feel the heat he earned it.

  815. BigStinky Says:

    It’s too bad Winston had that ball stripped and returned for a TD or we would have won that game. That or the INT that went off of Sims’ hands which we gave up another 7 points off of. Back to the drawing board

  816. Tampa Tony Says:

    So much for Licht being a wiz at the draft
