“I’m Tired Of Losing!”
September 28th, 2016
Usually, NFL practices midweek are mundane. Players usually have just recovered from licking the wounds of battle from the previous game and are beginning to lock in on the opponent at hand.
Today, Bucs practice began with fire.
Now Joe and the four or five members of the local pen and mic club could not tell who screamed, as the players were on the far end of the practice fields behind One Buc Palace. But just prior to the start of practice, a player — it sounded like Robert Ayers but no one could or would confirm — hollered as clear as a cheerleader’s silicon — “Come on! I’m tired of losing! Let’s go! Let’s go!”
So Bucs fans should be comforted in the knowledge that there are players on the roster — perhaps not enough? — who have grown weary of chugging Maalox after each loss.

God I am so thankful for Robert Ayers, even if it wasn’t him screaming…you know he does a lot of hollering..

Its good to know that the coaches and some players are cleaning up this mess!!! Getting the house in order as they run thru this gauntlet of a schedule!!!! They will be a better team on the other side for it!!!!!
Go Bucs!!!!!!

Great they are tired of losing on Wednesday. They still suck eggs nearly every Sunday.
Hey defense, ya know whose most tired of losing? The fans…….Its is getting hard to even make noise for this soft Azzed team at Ray Jay. Watching you softies get pushed around at our field for years now and I’m tired of leaving with my head down……….So go head and play soft, I don’t expect anything from this team this year…….Thanks softies, can’t even keep our hopes alive for even a few games. Every year same crap…..We fans have hope then a game or two into the season and we again see that our team is as soft as they come and nearly a waste of three hours each week.

Cleaning up the mess? We don’t even have a guy covering the sidelines half the time…….Which type of coaching doesn’t demand a player to cover a sideline and get touted for any good?
September 28th, 2016 at 2:27 pm
I bet jameis said that…maybe even kwon…GO BUCS!!!!
September 28th, 2016 at 2:28 pm
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the best fan base in all of sports.
September 28th, 2016 at 2:50 pm
GOOD! Man we need Ayers back healthy!
September 28th, 2016 at 2:53 pm
Beat the world champions and all will be well…simple as that 🙂
September 28th, 2016 at 2:55 pm
As much as many don’t wana hear it, this is going to take time. This group has to learn how to win. Changing coaches (again) and gutting the roster (again) is only going to set us back.
September 28th, 2016 at 2:59 pm
“Hey defense, ya know whose most tired of losing? The fans”……..especially at home!!!
September 28th, 2016 at 3:21 pm
He offense maybe we can stop turning the ball over.
September 28th, 2016 at 3:21 pm
Hey*
September 28th, 2016 at 3:23 pm
I’m tired of paying to see a losing team. At least these guys are getting paid. Can’t get my time or money back watching these losers
September 28th, 2016 at 3:25 pm
We simply need to get more production from our punter……we need punts of 85 yards going out on the 1, for example……Punts of a hangtime of 10-15 seconds would also help.
So far, our punter has been our best defense.
September 28th, 2016 at 3:28 pm
I love to hear this stuff. I may be gone for a short while. Gotta reprogram my brain to write a different genre.
Ayers has turned out to be pretty awesome. Just wish these FAs would stay healthy.

Chicken or the egg. How does one fix the culture without winning? And if you can’t win, the cluture never changes. This has been the Bucs since Gruden left.
September 28th, 2016 at 4:06 pm
I think the bucs need to have more fire during practice. Especially jameis. I know he is already the hardest working man at one buc, but he needs to bring his fire and leadership to every minute of practice. I dont know what bucs practices are like during the season, but having cheerleaders (players encouraging other players) needs to be a regular thing. Every player should be challenged to accomplish something each day. There should be no fun and games, the fun and games are for winners. And the bucs have not been considered winners in a long time. These guys need to put in the hard work during the week. And take every practice rep or drill seriously. I hope this is how bucs practices are. We need to get over this hump. We have been battling it for over a decade.

Odds are in the University of Seffner campus is that Jameis Winston screamed at his teammates that he was tired of losing. Jameis, and Kwon are pretty much the leaders since Kwon calls out plays on the field, and the same with Jameis. In other words, Kwon is the QB of the Defense, and Jameis is the QB of the offense. The QB is almost all cases the leader of a team.

U can fix it with better hires. Pardon me the correct hires. These love affairs that the Bucs try to rekindle (Lovie) first Now Koetter and Smitty. When the better hires were out there.
September 28th, 2016 at 4:13 pm
Our Bucs are not tired of losing. Watch’em lose Sunday against Denver!!!
September 28th, 2016 at 4:15 pm
MJ
Hilarious lmao!

I’m beginning to think that the only Buc fan left on JBF with a positive attitude is Negative Jeff.
And Miko, I agree with you 100%. The average duration of any Bucs fan’s memory is one game … but only when we win.
September 28th, 2016 at 4:30 pm
The fact is they are not as good as denver,we are a young team lacking a lot of talent on both sides of the ball ! We have a small core of good player and that’s it plan and simple. Still a couple of drafts away that’s my opinion anyway.
September 28th, 2016 at 4:31 pm
Did anyone notice how tough McCoy played with Ayers in the game … McCoy was as good as I every..

We are NOT as bad as it seems at 1-2. We could easily be 2-1 if we weren’t constantly giving the other teams points from turnovers. Players need to try harder to NOT make mistakes that cost us the game. We are NOT getting the bounces to go our way so far this year. It is hard to overcome giving the other team 14 points in a game. If our offense can keep scoring 30+ we’re going to be in MOST of these games and win our share of them. The defense will play better as the year goes on, more than likely. We just need to STOP turning the ball over as much as we are. It’s NOT all on Jameis but it does start with him. He needs to be more accurate with the football. The ONLY reason he was 62% this week was because of the short passes he was throwing, and he couldn’t even hit ALL of those. Last week showed just how inaccurate he still is, being just over 50%. The Rams were in the prevent defense once they got up by 11 points, and that helped pad JW’s stats with 150+ yards and 2 TD’s. Sure hope that he keeps throwing short passes so we can move the ball though.
September 28th, 2016 at 4:53 pm
Big. No one is in prevent over 11 points. The Rams defense brings the heat. Their offense usually sucks, our defense needs to play better and they will as the season goes on.

Fans are laughing at how bad the Buccaneers are. La is a historically awful offense. They have smacked us around like we are a bunch of kids twice now. When I get past the frustration and anger of cheering for this team all that’s left is laughter. How does it feel Bucs defense? How does it feel to be a laughing stock of the league? how does it feel to be an absolute joke? this defense is are an absolute embarrassment to the Tampa Bay area. Thanks for bringing shame to all the fans. you guys suck hard. It’s okay that you guys can stop worrying about your soft play because we fans have stopped worrying about you bums actually becoming winners.
September 28th, 2016 at 5:16 pm
Maybe Ayers was screaming at Mike Smith to hustle out to the practice fields.
September 28th, 2016 at 5:53 pm
To all that call longtime fans negative Nillies : food for thought: 40 years: 12 winning seasons: 24 seasons of double digit losses, we’ve had twice as many years of double digit losing seasons as winning. It’s not that we lose, we lose badly. They’re tired of losing , ha, think of some of us that were born before 76. They’ve beaten us unmercifully with ineptness, bad ownership, bad GMs, bad coaches and bad players. We were the absolute stars of Football Follies. Those who’ve been here awhile can tell the signs of a bad team. We’re a bad team. It ain’t getting turned around this year.
September 28th, 2016 at 5:54 pm
And some of us are still here, weaker people would have jumped on another band wagon long ago
September 28th, 2016 at 6:14 pm
Chris…they will turn this year and it will be noticeable.
Now if turn means to you SB contender which I’m sure it doesn’t, then we’re not even on the same page.
Yes I’ve seen my fair share of bad Bucs teams. I cam in with Ray Perkins.
This current team is not Ray Perkins bad.
September 28th, 2016 at 6:19 pm
Buc, this defense is bad, like a handful of Rod ” Toast” Jones back there . D Line that might join a milk carton with Ghost Johnson.
September 28th, 2016 at 6:27 pm
In the pre-season, oh so short a time ago, everyone on this website (including me) was extolling the abilities of the defense (and yes, our first team vs. their first team). And yes, it was pre-season but, how can a defense fall so far in just a few weeks? Something is amiss. Ayers was out last week; Case Keenum looked all-pro. He had enough time in the pocket he could have counted the laces on the ball. Could one guy mean that much to the D-line? And where was Coach Smith?
September 28th, 2016 at 6:43 pm
If the wheels fall off, and this game should tell us how much fires in em, if they fall off, I see 4-12, maybe 3-13
September 28th, 2016 at 6:44 pm
We need to put a better product on the field, our GM has to give the coaching staff better players.
September 28th, 2016 at 7:02 pm
Once again I’d like to extend my appreciation to all the brain dead fans and local hack media who ran Jon Gruden out of town.
Entering our 7th season with no end to the futility in sight.
Thanks.
September 28th, 2016 at 7:15 pm
Hey Jamies. Don’t go out and compete. Go out and win. You’re not used to merely competing.
September 28th, 2016 at 8:53 pm
Im tired of losing too. The only positive that ever comes of it is a high draft pick position……and EVEN THEN we usually screw that up. ASJ, wasted a 1st in the trade for Revis, 2nd’s busting all around (some not their fault because of injuries, Brian Price)…but then our current 2nd busting ROBERTO!!!!
My God, can we at least get something right for the next 2 years? Thankfully we’ve hit on some drafts but missing on those Ive mentioned is shining through!
September 28th, 2016 at 9:19 pm
Man, we need a Rodney Harrison type of Safety….watching “a football life” on him. Sucks we tried that and missed with Barron but its time to try again….LOOKING AT YOU LICHT!
