    Soooooo, he talked about all the distractions that started with hard knocks!!!!!!!!! I told the sheep this over a year ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    OMG ………….. Its another “Realist Repost”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If the owners signed up the Bucs and are forcing it on them, then that is fine!! they can sell more jersey’s and the Buc fans out west will love it!!! But I will think of the year differently!!! My expectations for the team has changed!!!! The goal of going deep in the playoffs will change to “just being national recognized”!!!!!!

    In other words I will give coaches and players a huge pass this year if we do the NFL’s longest commercial!!!!!!

    I do not see how this helps the team on the field, and I do not see NFL’s best head coaches lining up to be on it!!!!!!

    Go Bucs!!!!!!!!!!

  2. LOL Says:

    Boy does Realist love to stroke himself

  3. Bucsfanman Says:

    Realist- You’re starting to lose credibility by continuing to call people “sheep”. I’ve been seeing you post about about when people were willing to give Lovie another year, making excuses for him. Lately, I’d say you’ve been the one in denial, especially if you think that losing Spence is what caused this putrid d-line to suffer along with this imaginary defense.

  4. Jim Says:

    If you haven’t made the play-offs in ten years, your list of short-term problems and fixes doesn’t cut it. You are having a long term problem…

  5. The Buc Realist Says:

    @Bucsfanman

    I have been calling the D-line a bunch of backups before Coach Smitty called his first game in Tampa!!!! He schemed the defense to cover-up holes!!!!! Just like I said over a year ago!!!!!!!!! There were too many injuries and the second hardest schedule then the distractions is what caused the team to have a disappointing year!!!!! And it is in that order!!!!!! I need to start handing out watches around here because I keep telling everyone what “time” it is!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And since Bucfanman asked for it!!!!! Its another “Realist Repost”!!!!!!!!!
    The Buc Realist Says:

    The D-line does have depth this year, But it is GMC93 and a bunch of depth!!! The question is do we have any “Starters” and not just a bunch of backups!!!!!

    @LOL
    Yep, and I have to use 2 hands!!!!!!!!!

    GO Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. LakeLand Says:

    This were my Bucs mock draft from last season, and I still stand by it.

    1st Round. T Ryan Ramczyk..2nd Round. TE Adam Shaheen..3rd Round..WR. ArDarius Stewart. 4th Round. OLB. Jordan Evans..5th Round. RB Jeremy McNichols.. 6th Round..S. Tedric Thompson. 7th Round C. Kyle Fuller.

    Ryan Ramczyk is the best O-Lineman in this draft. Only gave up one sack, 3 pressures and 7 hits all season. Was graded as the top run-blocking Tackle in college.

    I’m glad the Saints had enough common sense to draft Ryan Ramczyk in the 1st round.

  8. BucFanFromOH Says:

    Realist nothing you say matters anymore. You’re constantly playing both sides, so you can “always be right” about something. Go stroke your ego elsewhere, and add another 40 exclamation points while you’re at it.

  9. D-Rome Says:

    There were too many injuries and the second hardest schedule then the distractions

    Talking about injuries, distractions, and strength of schedule is loser talk.

  10. SteveK Says:

    It is “loser talk”, but no bye week didn’t help at all.

    This game requires recovery time, and the Bucs/Dolphins got shafted.

    The nfl needs to be better about planning.

  11. tmaxcon Says:

    Getting opinions on a horrendous franchise from a career loser is absolutely pathetic yet entertaining and sad…. Just a bunch of meaningless fluff from a below average player and certified member of the losing culture led by cancer93

    Don’t worry sheep!!! NfL’s longest commercial (hard knocks) will change the national perspective of the Bucs!!! The National media will finally give respect These are all just distractions!!! It does not matter!!! Only whipping azz on Sundays!!!!!!! Wait till next year, when their will only be one GOAL!!!!!! And the Owners down to grounds crew will say the exact same thing!!!!!
    ***************************************************************

    remember that @realist?…..remember when only “whopping azz on sundays” mattered……so what happened?……judging by those comments, you were excited to have HK….you assumed it would sled a positive light on the bucs and this staff…..I thought HK, IRMA, SOS, injuries were in your words “all just distractions”….

    as many have pointed out, you’ve lost ALL credibility……

    good coaches find solutions not excuses…..good coaches prepare for and fight thru adversity…..not make excuses….

    #NOEXCUSESIN2018!!!!!…..GO BUCS!!!!!

  13. BucFamous Says:

    Hahahah–it’s really simple to find the board d-bags. Cough cough REALIST cough cough.

    No one cares if you think you were right about something–literally, not one person. You’re throwing a party of one.

  14. The Buc Realist Says:

    @813bucbeachboi

    please post the whole comment and not try to take clips for you propaganda and lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you can’t tell that I just called the year coming up (2017) full of distractions and that next year (2018) would be about play on the field???????? I know that most times that you don’t get it,,,, but read it really slow 3 times and then try again!!!!!!!!!!!!

    THe ” Real” post!!!!!!!!! ask for by 813bucboi!!!!!!!!!! OMG…….Its another “Realist Repost”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The Buc Realist Says:

    The distraction will change nothing!!!!!!!!! And I don’t care about the rankings, popularity lists, and projections done by “analysts” who barely look at our standings from last year and making an informed opinion!!!!!!!!

    These are all just distractions!!! It does not matter!!! Only whipping azz on Sundays!!!!!!! Wait till next year, when their will only be one GOAL!!!!!! And the Owners down to grounds crew will say the exact same thing!!!!!

    ***************************************************************

    ok so your saying the dline, SOS and injuries were the reason why we had a disappointing year but you were singing a different tune not too long ago…..remember this……

    The Buc Realist Says:
    July 24th, 2017 at 9:18 am
    I have to disagree with Ira on something, and that is the quote so called “improvement” of 2014 to 2015!!!!!!!!! Due to the strength of schedule and and the weak/tough schedules each year, Judging by division placement is a better indication of a team!!!!!!!

    so you didn’t want to give the previous credit for improving their record and suggest they only improved because of a weak SOS and say that a better indication is to look at where they finished in the division….but you turn right around and blame the SOS as part of the reason why we finished 5-11 while also saying that this team improved despite being dead last in the division……and you call yourself a “realist”……OK……

    maybe we’ll consider you a “REAL BUCS FAN” when you start holding THIS staff accountable and stop making excuses…..

    #NOEXCUSESIN2018!!!!!!…..GO BUCS!!!!!!

  16. 813bucboi Says:

    realist

    the thing your missing is that you said yourself…..

    These are all just distractions!!! It does not matter!!! Only whipping azz on Sundays!!!!!!!

    so according to you, all the excuses you and others have come up with don’t matter…..the only thing that matters is wins…..something this staff only accomplished 5times this year…..

    #NOEXCUSESIN2018!!!!!…..GO BUCS!!!!!

  17. The Buc Realist Says:

    @813bucbeachboi

    read it again very slowly,, the owners made distractions starting with hard knocks and made the season about “expanding the brand” and exposure!!!!!!

    Then they will learn their lesson and proclaim this as the motto for the 2018 “Wait till next year, When their will only be one GOAL!!!!!! And the Owners down to grounds crew will say the exact same thing!!!!!”

    Thank you again for pointing out the the “Buc Prophet” is right again!!!!!!!!!!
    and I don’t blame you 813bucboi, I blame the school systems for letting you down!!!!!!!!!!!

    GO Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  18. The Buc Realist Says:

    And sheep, thank 813bucboi for point out another Buc Prophecy!!!!!!!!!!! It is a little early and I was saving that one for when the Glazer’s speak and say that the commitment is to winning and doing everything to make this team successful on the field!!!!!!!!!

    good job 813bucbeachboi!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

    GO Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. 813bucboi Says:

    realist

    lol……you’ve just been exposed!!!!!!!!

    so your saying the glazer said, “lets screw things up pray we go 5-11 and put dirk and smitty on the hot seat so we can rally together and become winners next year?……really?……that’s your conclusion?…..lol…..your dumber than I thought!!!!!!!!…lol…..

    so what happened to,…. ” It does not matter!!! Only whipping azz on Sundays!!!!!!!…..

    YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    #NOEXCUSESIN2018!!!!!!…..GO BUCS!!!!!!

  20. 813bucboi Says:

    has anyone noticed, whenever “realist” gets exposed he goes into hiding…..lol….he tucks his tail between his legs and run!!!!!!….lol…..or he comes up with an “excuse” as to why he has been M.I.A…..lol…..

    #NOEXCUSESIN2018!!!!!….GO BUCS!!!!!

  21. Baz Says:

    If the Bucs showed half the fight that Realist and 813bucboi are exhibiting towards each other, the Bucs would be perennial Super Bowl contenders.

  22. derrickbrooksforGM Says:

    Losing didn’t hurt enough.

    ^^^When I said this team is full of a bunch of ME’s I knew this was the case. GMC talking about making the pro bowl instead of trying to save the season, Kwon (SO OVERRATED) Alexander bitching about not making the pro bowl (instead of how he’s gonna learn to shed a faking block or fill a faking run lane) I dont care how many tackles the guy had, if they aren’t within 3 yards of the LOS then might as well be a safety DOOD. DAMN!

    This just shows most of that defense only cares about personal accolades. No team in these doods. The whole defense needs to go bye bye. Major overhauls needed.

  23. tmaxcon Says:

    derrickbrooksforGM

    when your highest paid defender, team leader and team captain only cares about pro bowls how can you blame kwon for only caring about pro bowls. he is following orders. The team has taken on the personality of their soft heartless team captain cancer93… never win a meaningful game with cancer93 wearing the C or on the roster…. Send him to dallas for 6th or 7th and be happy you ripped off the cowgirls.

  24. Pickgrin Says:

    God the comments section here has just devolved into ridiculousness.

    Literally NO ONE cares about Rhealist’s ego stroking, 813’s desperate need to confront that foolishness nor maxi-pad’s continual and delusional “cancer” cries.

    Joe – why do you allow such off-topic nonsense to take over so many of the comments on JBF articles these days? Its getting out of control.

    Dot had a lot to say and I expected to see a # of insightful comments relating to all that he discussed. Not so much….

  25. 813bucboi Says:

    813’s desperate need to confront that foolishness

    I hear ya!!!!!!…..lol…..

    #NOEXCUSESIN2018!!!!!….GO BUCS!!!!

  26. Bucsfanman Says:

    @Realist- You’re cracking me up dude! Ain’t NOBODY here asking for the “repost”! LOL!
    Truth is that this defense is worse than it has been in years, and that’s saying something! We sent Lovie packing for far less IMO.
    Oh, and I didn’t miss it Joe: An o-lineman ADMITTING that some of the run-game woes were on them!

  27. Herb Says:

    I thought the best nugget from this interview was that despite the endless Doug Martin bashing (especially from the owners of this website) the only thing Dotson was worried about was improving HIS game so Martin could find a hole to run through. It was probably not what the “Doug Martin Haters” were expecting to hear.

  28. The Buc Realist Says:

    @Bucsfanman

    How can it be worse, despite all the injuries still keep the score a full field goal under what loser lovie’s defense gave up!!!!!! ( and that was with all the blowouts that had other teams resting starters in the 4th quarter against the
    incompetent one!!!!!!!!!

    So they sent lovie packing for far more (pts given up!!!!!!!!!!)

    Go Bucs!!!!!!!!!

  29. Bucsfanman Says:

    We’re splitting hairs over two horrific defenses?! Really?! Last in the league Realist. Dead freakin’ last!
    Smitty should’ve been gone at the very least. And before you trot out more stats, name one GOOD team that would retain a DC after that showing? I’ll do you a favor because the list is short: NONE!

  30. unbelievable Says:

    Blocking for a guy who has lost his burst.

    Except Dotson never once said Doug lost his burst, YOU guys did. He put the blame for the run game woes on himself and his offensive lineman. He said the guys up front didn’t open any holes for him.

    In fact, even when you tried to spoon feed him the struggling / not the same burst line, Dotson said:

    “We gotta do better for him. If we do our part, he’ll do his part. So we never concerned ourselves about Doug. We were concerned with ourselves and doing our job… That was always the focus- week after week. WE have to do a better job. WE have to do a better job…”

    He then talked about the running back going the wrong way on a play or 2 through the season, but that the line didn’t have enough consistency and communication throughout the season.

    😉 Good to see you guys still pushing out lots of content in the offseason. Haven’t been hanging around the site as much lately…
