Panthers 42, Buccaneers 28
November 4th, 2018
Paper or plastic?
Those are the options this week for Bucs fans.
What an embarrassment.
When you allow 35 points before halftime like the Bucs did today, you aren’t trying your best. And if you are, well, then there’s a serious problem with coaching and the front office.
Dirk Koetter has been yearning for his team to play a complete game, an all-phases effort. Well, it’s not happening over and over and over again.
Your Bucs now have lost five of their last six games. Things aren’t getting better. And Tampa Bay still is paying rent in Buccaneers Cove, aka last place in the NFC South.
It is that bad. It really is. And it’s sad.
Ryan Fitzpatrick was in for Jameis Winston today and the desired spark didn’t come. And the desperate fake punt didn’t do anything either.
Damn, Joe is so frustrated. Where was the urgency late in the fourth quarter on offense? Where was the healthy starting defensive line making a major impact? Why is the Bucs’ tackling so brutal — too often?
What will it take to stop the bleeding?

Dirk “We were done by Halloween” Koetter is done. No one will ever respect or follow him again. This is another year with two months of useless football for the fans to enjoy.

They need to fire mike smith & defense will automatically get better… and maybe the guy making personnel moves has ZERO clue what he is doing, hey licht donte jackson is a pretty good DB

Gmc played?
November 4th, 2018 at 4:26 pm
GM – Joe Douglas
HC – John Harbaugh
DC – Rex Ryan (Defense cant be worse than it is right now)
OC – Hue Jackson
November 4th, 2018 at 4:26 pm
no team will win in the NFL with no defense either
November 4th, 2018 at 4:27 pm
I want them to fire Koetter before the press conference. He has proven himself as useless of a head coach as there has ever been in this league. The talent on this team has kept him afloat but they are no longer playing for him. It is over and you see it on the field.

GMC and his useless BLOWOUT garbage sacks……PATHETIC
November 4th, 2018 at 4:27 pm
Fire Koetter immediately. He lost the team. All defensive staff fired too. They suck out loud. Canāt tackle, canāt buy an interception. Davis makes a nice plaything gets an unsportsmanlike for being a prick. Team is an undisciplined joke. Blow it up now
November 4th, 2018 at 4:27 pm
We should change our name to the “No D Bucs.” These guys are terrible. Vea has no technique. GMC is not the impact player he was hyped to be. Dbacks can’t cover or tackle.
Offense has to put up 50 to win almost on a weekly basis.
I blame the Glaziers for this mess. They obviously don’t care about football in Tampa. The rot starts at the top.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:27 pm
It’s what happens to teams that draft 4.55 corners when a 4.32 corner is on the board, that tries to fix the running game by drafting a running back instead of a lineman and keeps the coordinator who had the worst defense, one that was historically bad and hadn’t show any ability to train young players at any position other than linebacker.

I thought the pick would be LSU CB Donte Jackson or Isaiah Oliver. MJ Stewart is another slow CB, and so is Carlton Davis. I thought they were going with the speedy Jackson. I also thought they were going with the speedy Derwin James at SS. But they went with another slow guy at SS. It looks like the Bucs want the slow guys who can hit, instead of getting faster in the secondary.
Derwin James | 4.47 40 yard dash
Donte Jackson | 4.32 40 yard dash
So the Falcons take Oliver and Carolina take Jackson
November 4th, 2018 at 4:28 pm
Fitz is superior.
4TD:2Turnovers= better than Jameis and provides a āsparkā!
November 4th, 2018 at 4:28 pm
This team can be MUCH worse. Just wait and see.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:28 pm
See what happens when you let players cry and whine about a tough coach? Should have told the players to put up or shut up. This team let a good coach go because of GMC has no work ethic.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:28 pm
100 Million dollar invisible man and a 20 Million dollar bench warmer? These two donāt want to be here how many others?
November 4th, 2018 at 4:28 pm
Sitting Jay-Miss was still the right call. Licht is showing he has failed as a GM.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:28 pm
If this team had an AVERAGE defense, the bucs could’ve had a chance
November 4th, 2018 at 4:28 pm
For all the morons that think Jameis would have done better, GTFOH!!
Fitz played well considering his O-line was garbage, had no running game, and the D gave up the booty.
Fitz has 1 bad throw early when the game started….
Jameis would have had 4 pics by 1/2 time against Carolinaās D….
This will be a TOTAL house-cleaning at year-end, GM included!!!!!
No-brainer decision!!
November 4th, 2018 at 4:28 pm
DP
Rex Ryan and Hue Jackson are two of the biggest losers the NFL has ever seen. I’d rather keep what we have now then get those two idiots. Besides, why get rid of Monken, the architect of the NFL’s best offense?
November 4th, 2018 at 4:28 pm
The offense has talent for sure but where is the talent on defense? Can we get a turnover? Ever?
November 4th, 2018 at 4:29 pm
Oh right and 1 interception through 8 games
1
November 4th, 2018 at 4:29 pm
Where was Vita Vea ? No impact at all again. He was drafted to help verse the run. This is one of the many reasons Licht is gone.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:29 pm
Get lost Licht and take your garbage roster and head coach with you.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:29 pm
Sorry, but Carlton Davis was too slow for outside corner…………he needs to just stay in nickle

November 4th, 2018 at 4:29 pm
Looked up the all-time best offenses in NFL history and there are only two teams ever that have scored more than 35 points a game, which youād need in order to win with this defense.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:29 pm
This team has not improved in 3 years under Koetter same dumb penalties did anybody see Cam laughing at the Bucs the entire game everything was like high school or Juco to him itās embarrassing and heads should roll
November 4th, 2018 at 4:29 pm
Should have kept Schiano. Heās a better talent evaluator than half the GMs in the league.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:29 pm
Koetter is doing a great job.
Jason Licht and Jameis suck out loud. Bad roster at in 5 years. And a qb that stinks after 3.5 as the #1 pick.

November 4th, 2018 at 4:32 pm
Donovan Smith is not good either. He doesnāt deserve a big contract. Heās a back up at best.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:32 pm
Itās broken. Canāt be fixed. Beither line can win the point of attack. Canāt run the block. Canāt pressure. Canāt cover. Canāt force turnovers. The only hope is perfect play from the QB. Without it, this team is doomed.
The team has not had an identity in years. If this team has an identity, it is that it is SOFT.
BLOW IT UP!
November 4th, 2018 at 4:32 pm
Unwatchable. Embarrassment. Complete joke. Time to start playing golf on Sundays again. Smh pathetic. Iām 60 and have never in my life saw a defense this bad. Unfortunately looks like it canāt be fixed either. Once again us Bucs fans have nothing to look forward to

November 4th, 2018 at 4:32 pm
No other Qb can win with this defense besides Tom Brady.
Looks like many of us should do something else on Sunday. It the same crappy defense since Monte left.
This defense for a long time has become a trivial questions for the worth defense.

The defense is absolutely terrible
November 4th, 2018 at 4:33 pm
Let me guess that we are supposed to believe that Barber and his once again magical average of 2.8 ypc is a coincidence. Amazing how it always ends up between 2.7 and 2.9 no matter who is there. Lmfao! How wrong is this website all the time?
November 4th, 2018 at 4:34 pm
Out defense is a joke. Taylor and Bond are buffoons. Stop blaming Jameis for this mess caused by Licht and Koetter, they need to go today. It doesnāt matter at this point who coaches, a lot of players on the D shouldnāt even be in the nfl.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:34 pm
Iād keep Monken as interim HC and Duffner where he is until they replace the rest. Licht should have already been fired. Do it now and donāt wait. Make the change. The season is over for the Bucs.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:34 pm
Ok
Brees and Payton………one is the best DUOS ever in the NFL cannot be compared to the BUCS…….we don’t have anything here even close to that
November 4th, 2018 at 4:34 pm
I love talking draft by the first week of November, never gets old.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:34 pm
Nine game winning streak will get us to 12-5.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:34 pm
This team sucks. Time for the coaches to get their cardboard boxes ready and get their belongings in order. There is too much talent to be laying down like this. The entire defensive coaching staff needs to be fired, Koetter is a goner, and Jason Licht will be gone.
Monken could stay but it really depends who comes in here. This is going to be another offseason of intrigue.
Fake punt on your end of the field looked like an admission that the defense sucks from the coaches on down. This defense can’t get a single turnover.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:34 pm
ROJO OHNO dreams of 2.9 ypc.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:35 pm
“Red86 – No other Qb can win with this defense besides Tom Brady.”
As stated above that is actually untrue, Peyton Manning in 2013 had an offense that would win with this defense as well. Oh, and Tom Brady only had one year, 2007, where he scored enough points to win with this defense, current Tom Brady couldn’t do anything with this defense.
Only two offenses in the history of the game have scored more than 35 points a game, which is about what this defense is giving up (I didn’t do the math yet, but it was 33 going into the game, and it only went up from there).
November 4th, 2018 at 4:35 pm
on board with Buc fan#7431 fire Koetter, fire Licht and fire Jameis, get a secondary
November 4th, 2018 at 4:35 pm
Mute point… hahahahaha!
November 4th, 2018 at 4:35 pm
I hope the Glazers aren’t expecting me to spend a dollar on anything Buc-related for the rest of the year. 35-7 is humiliating at this level.

Oh and I love how this still becomes a Jameis discussion. WTF fans? He sat the bench and played zero time. Again he is not the problem. Insert whoever and the Fān problem is our defensive players!

This is smoldering bag of poop. Nothing can fix it. Bucs big name Big salary WRās played like crap. hump was a star. JPP is a good piece but this team needs to be torn down to its foundation and rebuilt. Get draft picks for our assets. But first get someone to actually draft. Jason Licht needs to go. I was a big fan. But the 2018 draft was a big waste of time.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:36 pm

November 4th, 2018 at 4:36 pm
TheBucsAnthem – Brees has never had a season where he’s average more than the 35 points a game, so no, Brees could not win with this defense.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:36 pm
Does Koetter have everyone tricked into thinking Monken is calling the plays so he doesn’t go down with the ship?
November 4th, 2018 at 4:37 pm
Well of course
no team will win games with our hopeless defense
WHAT DEFENSE??!?!?!?!?!?
November 4th, 2018 at 4:37 pm
At the end of last season, I campaigned to fire Koetter and staff now or waste another season and then fire him. Well here we, playing for draft picks in November. Thanks Glazers for not firing Koetter. Not! Thanks Koetter for not firing your BFF Smitty. Not! Pathetic! Another wasted season!
November 4th, 2018 at 4:38 pm
Can’t watch this crap anymore.
Fire Koetter, Fire Licht.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:39 pm
1.Jameis canāt hit Jackson
2.Jameis only throws to Humphries.
3. Jameis holds the ball too long.

November 4th, 2018 at 4:39 pm
Licht’s 2018 draft
Vea–way over rated
Rojo-not an NFL caliber player
MJ–too slow, not a playmaker
Davis–ok
Whitehead–below average
Cappa–not even playable
Watson–it doesn’t matter–we are are stacked @ WR
Cichy–injury prone in college–no surprise-out for the season

November 4th, 2018 at 4:40 pm
Dirk should be fired, he tried to blame Winston for losing after he had one bad game and with a decent kicker would have been 2-1 and is 3-1 in his last four. He threw his 24-year franchise QB under the bus to save himself, with predictable results. Had Dirk handled it differently, had he just said we’re going to play the hot hand this week and Winston has struggled with the Panthers, but I’m sure you’ll see Winston again – had he did that I think you keep him until the season is over and then fire him, but when he just throws his QB under the bus to save himself, it’s pretty pitiful – and he deserves to be fired.
Personally I’d love to see Monken running this offense without Dirk insisting on all those 1st down runs up the gut to “balance” out the offense. There is no balance when you get 1 yard per carry, just throw the ball and work in the run naturally instead of meeting a quota like Dirk seemingly does.
But in any case worse thing that could happen is giving Monken the head coaching job since now you’re back to the Dirk situation where you have him splitting his time and no full time OC again.

Bucfan1988 the irony of reading a fitz supporter say the exact same excuses for him as jameis fans have been using for this year. Oh and lets not also count out the fitz numbers all came in garbage time, which is what you jameis haters would also say.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:41 pm
I’m done. This team fuking sucks. WE HAVE SUCKED FOR A DECADE and not getting better any time soon.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:41 pm
Fire Licht, Fire Koetter and do NOT resign Jay Miss for 20M. Hire a real football guy as President of Football Operations.
I’ll take paper Joe, as it is more environmentally friendly, breaks down much better than plastic and it’s easier to put the eyes in when I wear the bag to RayJay.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:42 pm
Chill Will – You are very correct, everyone knows the situation, knows that you have to force the ball downfield to get back into the game, people don’t have an issue with Fitz doing it, but if it’s Jameis they’d literally say that play is why the team lost, not the 42 points given up. It’s why the Jameis haters are fake news, they members of an online lynch mob that copy and paste each other and do it so often they believe their own fake narrative.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:42 pm
I think Koetter is loosing the team unfortunately.
I know the defense sucks so i’m just enjoying the offense when I can. Numbness to loosing for over a decade makes it easy to not be upset anymore. Time to clean house.
The Bucs are making Joe’s job to easy. So many topics to choose from.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:43 pm
Norv Turner fooled Duffnerās defense so much today. Bad teams always find a way to lose. They might as well just play Jameis now in hopes that heāll get it figured out. The season is over so it doesnāt matter. Evans looked like he didnāt care at all today.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:44 pm
Rod Much,
Youāre smart and usually on the other side of my opinion I believe in order of priory of Blane:
1. Licht- year 5: no RB, no CB
2. Jameis- year 4 and you should be great. Youāre not and itās sad because youāre off field transgressions had a saying in you not meeting expectations.
3. Koetter- you shouldāve fired Mike Smith last year.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:45 pm
We should cut GMC and Grimes next year. Save $26 million and buy OG, CB, WR

November 4th, 2018 at 4:45 pm
Even if Fitz didnāt throw the last pick and scored a TD, they were down by 14 and still going to lose. You canāt win when you canāt block or rush the passer. It wouldnāt matter if Aaron Rodgers was the Bucs QB. The team as whole sucks.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:46 pm
WR=RB*
November 4th, 2018 at 4:46 pm
For the Atlanta game Jameis had 395 yards 4 tds and 2 picks and it was all his fault, so since Fitz had basically the exact same game today, with less yards, this loss is on him correct? And no I am not happy but apples to apples right?
November 4th, 2018 at 4:46 pm
SteveK – Thank you, I’m extremely smart AND funny, don’t forget funny.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:47 pm
Great post BigMac-
We canāt protect, pressure, or run it.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:47 pm
The Lightning are on tonight at 6:30. Just sayin
November 4th, 2018 at 4:49 pm
Ndog – Not to mention Jameis wins that ATL game if you have a kicker, and didn’t get his yards in garbage time after the Falcons were up huge and left off the gas, it was a back and forth slugfest, and then Dirk decided to run a trick play on the past play instead of just throwing it to OJ or Howard or Brate and letting them go up and get the ball – but nope, a trick play run double lateral was what Dirk thought gave them the best chance.
Dirk is basically an idiot as a HC. Great OC and it’s too bad we couldn’t keep him solely as an OC since I think he brings a lot to the table when that is the only thing he is doing, but as a HC he’s a moody whinny d-bag.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:50 pm
I canāt pick on the players too much for bad attitudes. The team is mismanaged. The only thing their good at is losing games. Iām sure every one of them is frustrated but the two men at the top need to held accountable now.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:52 pm
Iām just so sick of losing. Weāre worse than Cleveland and Zi donāt know how we beat them.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:52 pm
A loss is a loss. There is no good loss unless itās weight loss. But Bucs āfansā seem content with any loss as long as āFitzmagicā is under center. Never seen so many āfansā looking for a silver lining in my life.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:53 pm
Koetter needs to go and get a coach that will let Jameis be Jameis. Jameis is a gunslinger in the Favre mold and if any body remembers when Favre played he threw a lot of interceptions. In one playoff game against the Rams he threw 6 picks. If Favre had played for Tampa instead of Green Bay he would have been run out of town by the fans for taking so many chances. I hope that wherever Jameis goes next year he gets a coach like Favre had in Mike Holmgren. Holmgren didn’t try to change Favre, he lived with the interceptions because that was who Favre was. This area needs a QB like Alex Smith, a lot of check downs to the RB’s, 15 – 20 TD’s a year and 6 or 7 int’s a year. Win more than lose and never win a Superbowl. Best of Luck in the future Jameis and I’ll continue rooting for you when you win future Super Bowls in the future outside of Tampa Bay., As far as a new Coach for next year I have no idea. None of the current coordinators in the NFL really look any good so I would have to look to College for our next Head Coach
November 4th, 2018 at 4:53 pm
Can’t even expect this team to entertain us for more then 15 minutes. A half hour into every game and the game is all but over.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:54 pm
Crazed Bucs Fan
You are high
I donāt see anyone happy with the loss
November 4th, 2018 at 4:54 pm
I want an interim HC. Or a player coach would even be better then this.
November 4th, 2018 at 4:55 pm
I hate myself
November 4th, 2018 at 4:55 pm
I was not expecting to win, but certainly not giving up the 35 pt first half again
Was hoping maybe Washington/NYG/SF run could be a season saver – but I just canāt see this D stoping anyone…
Like others have said – if JW is in there, he throws 6 picks or takes 8 sacks, or both – pressure was insane all day
Mike Evans looked bad today
The fake punt call, cries desperate
No moves at the trade deadline speaks volumes
No LB help? No help at RG? No help at corner or S?
Did anyone else notice Whitehead miss several tackles? Or Carlton David get beat over and over?
How about watching Taylor and Bond at LB – they are just bad bad bad
RG is a turnstile, LT too sloweewwwwww to play the position at a high level
The GM is out of touch or maybe he was not allowed to make any moves
We are only competitive when the other team is having a mid game snack up by 4 scores
As soon as it gets close, they score, and we wilt again
November 4th, 2018 at 4:57 pm
Anew coaching staff and gm….and maybe a miracle on top of that
November 4th, 2018 at 4:58 pm
Ronde barber for head coach! Or bring in brooks lol
November 4th, 2018 at 5:00 pm
I got an idea we only draft D and every round the fans get to vote real-time on who we should draft next and that pick goes… for some reason I have seen it time and time again the fans know best on who to draft while Licht gets it wrong every time in the first couple of rounds. Even when he gets three tries in the second round he still Fās it up!

I promise you this if Jamies got a premiere RB and a good RG and LT along with a decent D you people would really see how good he is. But until then no matter whoās under center this team will not be good.

Facts. We are the bottom of the NFC, a hair ābetterā
than Cleveland.

Just listened to Dirks press conference and he said Fitz played fine we just got to play better around him. After the Falcons game in which Jameis had basically the exact same game he basically said Jameis lost the game. This my friends is why Jameis struggles AND why this coach is an idiot.

Fitz gave up his body today. The Panthers killed him. They lost because played with no juice. A team without hitters, without heart. Watching a real game, Rams vs Saints now, 2 teams that come to play and don’t take plays off like so many Buccaneers do.

Iāll cut/trade McCoy, DJax during the off-season for help on the D

If it was purely up to me, I’d make Sapp the Bucs emperor, a new position that is like an overlord above a GM where he also handles all public relations, deals with the media, makes choices like the uniforms, tells the coach and GM what to do, encourages the players to talk trash and not be a bunch of dullards, etc – basically he walks around the building with complete powers and gets in everyone’s face and no one can do anything about it. Man, it would be the most entertaining team in football, and remember, football is literally entertainment so it’s a perfect fit.

I’m so tired of the season being over in the beginning of November. Its an insult to season ticket holders. I will not be one of them next year. Good bye. I have spent too much money on this team over the years and I’ve had it. What a waste of time and money.

This team sucks and everybody think Dirk is a good offense of coordinator. Let’s see a guard that stinks number 77 every week. We can’t run the ball. We get garbage yards because teams feel sorry and let up. Then kick our face in when we get close. So, tell me what good offense. The first half of this game tells us about our offense.

If you visit more than one site, or actually talked to other Bucs fans, then you would understand where Iām coming from. But since youāre too busy sniffing Fitzpatrickās beard, you must be the one who is high.

That long pass to Jackson that have tried for looked like so many of Jameis “overthrows” last year. Never tries to get in high gear, doesn’t run to the ball. People forget Fitz’s fumble inside our own 20. We got lucky and our center recovered it. That fumble was totally not Fitz’s fault, blindside sack on a total whiff by Turnstile Smith. If Carolina recovers it, that would have been the play of the game, proverbial straw that broke the camels back. That fumble reminds me of so many Jameis has had the last two seasons, invariably not recovered by us, but but by the opposition.
I think Fitz played his heart out today. Still, if you ran multiple simulations with Jameis starting, the mean result would come out between 42-28 to 45-35, Panthers. We only win if we get 3-4 turnovers. No other way.

After watching the first half it is plainly obvious it makes no difference who the QB is, the results are the same. It’s almost like ground hog day every game. The bucs fall way behind in the first half. In the second half the bucs defense makes some defensive stops and catches up to either tie or be one score behind. Then when the game is on the line, the defense reverts to first half defense, and gives up the final score to put the game out of reach. It’s so predictable it’s sickening. Sorry but at this point a complete housecleaning is needed to change things. That includes GM, Head Coach, and all the rest of the coaching staff. Getting rid of a few high priced players who arn’t producing woulden’t hurt either. Bring in a top GM and let him pick the next head coach. Try something different, leave the Glaziers out of this next important hire. I’m hoping this is what the Glaizers do, but that’s wishful thinking on my part. Just my opinion.

Defensive/offensive line! WOW! As John McKay was asked about the execution of his team, “I’m all for it!”
November 4th, 2018 at 6:29 pm
There is too much blame to go around to single out folks but I have some candidates and also a thought.
JW OWES us big time!!! We overlooked his rep and sign him #1.
He.gets the suspension and this season starts in controversy and we have yet to recover.
Koetter has NO discipline on this team…endless brain dead undisciplined penalities…he should be fired Monday after that Carlton Davis joke. Running his mouth at Funchess after he had been Funchess beotch all day is disgusting…it’s not fire in the belly…it’s selfish lack of discipline.
Chasing after NFL refs…fighting other players…JW has had no discipline but here’s a really wild idea.
I said JW owes us because if we could somehow sign JW to a deal commensurate with his value…get if not a hometown discount at least a “mea culpa” discount we bring him back with Fitz. Fitz and JW are far more alike in their styles than not…the major difference besides the beard is above the neck. Fitz has ten more years of experience…has NEVER been a prima donna…something that JW thought he’d perfected.
Perhaps JW has chilled after this experience. I wouldn’t mind him coming back for the right price and the right role. Fitz is a good mentor and if we had those guys QB would not really be the issue.
EVERYTHING else gets invested in DEFENSE.

Fitz was asked to do too much behind the 8 ball
This comment makes all bucs fans look stupid really anthem?. This defense has been horrible for over a decade ever since Derrick Brooks was shown the door. Every quarterback weāve had since is behind the 8 ball. Fitz was asked to do too much is that a joke when they were going score for score with the saints week one? Dirk is trash and this offense is smokeband mirrors.

Hold up now when we played the falcons Jamies had 400 yards and 4td and 2 int and we lost and y’all said Jamies lost that game so now when fizpatrick do it y’all don’t blame him for the lost. Now y’all love to say race card but you tell me the difference . I told y’all that with some of the people on this site Jamies race plays apart of it why y’all hate him so much there go some more facts.
November 5th, 2018 at 4:31 pm
Hey all you Jameis Haters, Jameis has lost only one of those 5 losses, the other four are on Fitztragic. but hey, lets get rid of the 25 year old talent who has amazing numbers just also has a lot of picks, which can be corrected. how long till another franchise QB comes along again so we can run HIM out of town?
