Bruce Arians Serves A Firm Message To Fans
December 29th, 2019
The Buccaneers’ head coach was asked after today’s groin-stomp loss to deliver a message to fans, and Bucco Bruce Arians did not hesitate with a reply.
“I promise you one thing, we will stop beating ourselves next season,” Arians told the Buccaneers Radio Network.
That’s quite a promise — because the Bucs are so good at beating themselves.
Matt Gay beat them badly in two home games. Jameis Winston also found a way to help other teams a little too much in at least a couple of games.
Pre-snap penalties were too common this season, as were penalties overall. The Bucs didn’t always look well coached, though part of that was tied to Arians still plucking the weeds from the roster in his first season.
In the last two games, two running-back fumbles were killers, as the Bucs found various ways to bludgeon themselves through the season.
Joe will hold you to the promise, Coach. It’s about time the Bucs started making other teams take them down.

JW is gone clowns. Ha ha ha
December 29th, 2019 at 5:18 pm
Gay will be back…..JW wont!
Bye JW.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:18 pm
Easy solution, dump the NFL Defence player of the week Jamie’s Winston.
JW has scores more points against the bucs then our RB did all season for the bucs.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:19 pm
falcons kicker off the street is pretty good
December 29th, 2019 at 5:19 pm
Let’s see how the draft goes in the first round. Looks like we will have the 13th pick?
December 29th, 2019 at 5:19 pm
Matt Gay and pre-snap penalties? Yeah, whatever. What is the excuse when your defense is playing better and your Qb is STILL throwing pick sixes?
December 29th, 2019 at 5:19 pm
Is the Teddy Bridgewater era going to begin??
December 29th, 2019 at 5:20 pm
Blah blah blah…Arians and Winston have a great career in politics awaiting them with all of their BS.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:21 pm
As long as Winston is on the roster, his promise will be hollow. I’m so proud he’s the top headline on ESPN for his 30/30 BS. It should be seen for what it is – an embarrassment for the franchise.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:21 pm
Actions speak louder than words. I’ve lived here since 2004. All I’ve seen is lousy football. All I’ve heard is an endless stream of excuses and promises.
It’s time to make some tough decisions. I hope ownership and management understand how upset the fans are.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:21 pm
That’s about as good as telling us the ugly uniforms will be gone too!
December 29th, 2019 at 5:22 pm
Jameis Winston, will be the Starting QB, for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for many more years, just deal with it You B..ches!!!!
December 29th, 2019 at 5:22 pm
The Bucs need new ownership like, say, the DeBartolos.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:22 pm
Defense playing better? First drive of the game today TD. Lead in the 4th quarter blown lead, but yeah they are actually better than earlier in the year which says it all.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:24 pm
His statement is the reason why I vote little to no confidence in BA.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:25 pm
NPUPPY!!! I found my lost little puppy.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:25 pm
And here come the Winston defense force.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:26 pm
PUPPY!!! How many points did the falcons score off of bucs turnovers?
How many points did the Bucs defense score today?
And you have the hang downs to call out the Bucs defense?…
BAHAHAHAHA!!!
December 29th, 2019 at 5:27 pm
Yeah, the Defense played better. The NFL is currently stacked against Defenses. And OURS kept us in the game despite some solid play from the Falcons. They bent a lot. They didn’t break…considering they’re mostly new young dudes. Not a plethora of ProBowler FA pickups. Just my opinion. They’re sure as shinola not giving up 35 a game like earlier in the season.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:27 pm
Jameis Winston also found a way to help other teams a little too much in at least a couple of games. –
HaHaHa
And drivers getting arrested for DUI’s multiple times had a little too much to drink on at least a couple of occasions….
Get your law degree, Joe- you’d be entertaining in court.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:28 pm
Is Ronald Jones the 2nd greatest running back in Buc’s history (just kidding)?
He is only 22 years old and has the 2nd most rushing yards per scrimmage at age 22 to Warrick Dunn for the Bucs.
According to some, the total amount of yards at a young age is the only way to evaluate a player. Throw out his fumble at the early part of the game. It means nothing because he rushed for over 100 yards this game. Turnovers do not matter. Just total yards.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:29 pm
Pay him a million per int sounds like a buc move? What a joke I can’t believe anyone would ever consider that? How many of you could make 30 mistakes at work not including fumbles and still keep you job!? And that’s one year not a five year total…..the arguement to keep him is ridiculous imop
December 29th, 2019 at 5:29 pm
This has probably been mentioned but I Jameis was to be let go, so fitting that his last pass as a Big was a pick six– just his like first..
So, wahat a so, so fitting way to end the ridiculously forgettable freaking decade….Good Lord….what else can be said about this team?
December 29th, 2019 at 5:29 pm
Just remember that nothing is Winston’s fault. He’s never played bad ever. Just a victim.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:30 pm
Wish I could be an ice cube in BA’s Chivas tonight when he confides has true feelings about Winston.
What do you all think he says? Straight up?
December 29th, 2019 at 5:31 pm
To his wife.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:31 pm
As I have said I love Arians and I am willing to bet 3 of my poor ass pay checks that the Bucs will contend next season and Jameis is only gonna be here until Arians draft and develop a QB or bring one in this off season and let him get acclimated to the offense and then I think Jameis will be gone in others words, tag for Jameis and then Arians move on. Hope Jameis find a team where he can win maybe the Patriots but I don’t think many HCs in the NFL will put up with Jameis turnovers you just cant win in the NFL with this many turnovers
December 29th, 2019 at 5:33 pm
Figures, Ndog going harder on a young defense still learning how to play together, a rookie kicker, than the 5th year turnover prone QB. Thats cost us the same amount of games. LMAO, pathetic
December 29th, 2019 at 5:34 pm
The message is this, I Bruce ” Lack of preparation H – didn’t really miss coaching but why not ” Arians is going to change the color of my golf cart and add a mini-bar.
111 turnover
5000 yards
And the most pock 6’s since 1950
Needs to be celebrated!
December 29th, 2019 at 5:35 pm
Stop beating ourselves stop, that’s a Buc trademark. Maybe by 2030 they’ll figure it out.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:35 pm
Hey Couch F off I’m so sick of all you IDIOTS!!! SO OUR QB IS SUPPOSED TO BE PERFECT YET EVERYONE ELSE CAM SUCK?? When he is winning next year in New England all of you IDIOTS are going to look sooooooo stupid.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:36 pm
I say we bring in t. Bridgewater and j. Winston. For winstons contract pay him the 30 mil he is looking for under a 1 year deal and for every int he will lose $1M. lol we might actually have a steal of a deal then lol
December 29th, 2019 at 5:37 pm
Guarantee his wife said Baby if you don’t want a stroke let Jameis walk, and if you won’t part ways with him then where’s the insurance policies?
December 29th, 2019 at 5:37 pm
Another game where there was NO offense in the second half? How can that happen? Kicker missed kicks, but #3 had the ball in OT, that’s where Qb’s thrive and get that W. Jameis cost this team 2 or 3 wins himself this season.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:38 pm
Best outcome possible. Better draft pick and JW (hopefully)
costs less.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:38 pm
NDOG is wrong again!
December 29th, 2019 at 5:39 pm
WINSTONS FEMALE DOG AKA NPUPPY!!! QUICK TO USE THE NPUPPY DEFENSE. DUDE NOBODY TAKES YOU SERIOUS!!! #FEMALEPUPPY
December 29th, 2019 at 5:39 pm
If I’m Jameis I want out of here so bad cause this team SUCKS and he gets blamed for everything. In this game alone he had not even thrown a pass and we were down 10 nothing.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:40 pm
Wrong about what our defense sucking, our kicker sucking, the ball getting tipped causing the pick, the WR running the wrong route causing the first pick. Which FACT am I wrong you going idiot!?!?!
December 29th, 2019 at 5:41 pm
I’m ready for a new QB. I’m not sure I would go to the draft for one though.
I would still prefer to stack the OL with the draft.
Free agent QB.
First 3 picks of the draft go OL, OL, RB in any order you choose.
Free agent Safety.
Winston leaves.
Dotson leaves.
Gholston leaves.
Nassib leaves.
J. Evans leaves.
Barber leaves.
Brate (proven commodity) or OJ (still on a cheap contract) possibly get traded.
Smith or Jensen possibly get traded.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:42 pm
They tipped one ball it gets picked we tipped four no picks, thats called crappy defense.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:43 pm
I got a message for BA, Bullsh#t!
December 29th, 2019 at 5:43 pm
Jameis definitely doesn’t want to leave because any other franchise would have already been done with his nonsense. Winston figures ‘hey, if they’re dumb enough to pay me with how embarrassing I play, then I want to stay.’
December 29th, 2019 at 5:45 pm
Facts? Now not only are you wrong but now it’s sprinkled with lies or made up stuff…
December 29th, 2019 at 5:45 pm
Jameis helping teams last couple of games? ROTFL…
He has done it off and on for five years Joe…please.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:47 pm
Cant trust anything he says he told us at the start of the season the secondary was fixed.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:48 pm
Sure Bruce, I’ll believe it when I see it
Dumbest team and QB in the league
December 29th, 2019 at 5:49 pm
THE NPUPPY DEFENSE LIVES ON!!! BAD FEMALE DOG!!! COMPLAINS ABOUT A DEFENSE THAT ACTUALLY SCORES 7 OF THE 22 POINTS!!! BAD FEMALE DOGGY!!!
December 29th, 2019 at 5:50 pm
What is made up Pete I?
December 29th, 2019 at 5:52 pm
Ndog you really think Belichick will put up with Winston? Something tells me he’d rather just stick with continuing to develop Jarrett Stidham than go for Winstunned.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:52 pm
You guys got nothing but name calling. You have nothing to bring to the table and when he is gone I can’t to wait to hear you complain about how we just can’t score enough next year.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:54 pm
Winston will be in New England next year if he’s not here. I feel very confident in that. Of course I could be wrong as it takes a lot for an agreement to be reached but I really believe he would be the perfect fit for them. And if so oh boy watch out the rest of the NFL.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:54 pm
Hmmm
A terrible pass defense killing the Bucs until VH III is gone…
A savior kicker who blows 2 games…
An offensive line that gets its QB sacked and hit the most in the league…
And it all is Jameis’ fault. Really?
December 29th, 2019 at 5:55 pm
Geno
I like your take on RJ.
So true. Only yards matter.
And ndildo……. what can I say other than you are so blinded by stupidity it’s laughable, and yet you continue to defend your savior.
Your delusional belief that JayMiss is going to New England to win a SB is the icing on your turd cake.
You are the King Nuthugger and I wish you continued agony as you watch your boy play himself out of the NFL.
Are you a baseball fan by chance?
December 29th, 2019 at 5:55 pm
WHATEVER Brucie!!! I will believe it when and IF I see it! Another year with no playoffs, the Bucs ownership and players and coaches can all kiss my arse!
December 29th, 2019 at 5:59 pm
Well Ndog I guess you can have all the confidence you want in that scenario happening. But I personally think Belichick would prefer trading multiple draft picks to get Cam Newton or make a big trade up in the top 10 for Tua from Alabama. I actually wouldn’t be surprised by the latter scenario because Belichick and Saban have a good relationship. And before you scoff at Cam Newton just remember he has won multiple playoff games been to a Super Bowl and has won a MVP award which is far more than Winston ever has done.
December 29th, 2019 at 5:59 pm
THE NPUPPY DEFENSE. BLAME EVERYONE TO SAVE WINSTON!!! PPL ARE USING NAME CALLING LIKE YOU USE EXCUSES. ITS CALLED THE NPUPPY DEFENSE!!!
December 29th, 2019 at 6:05 pm
Glazers will continue to double down on a losing bet and have the predictable result/ My money says rhey sign Moron 2 and doom the franchise to another years of low mediocrity
December 29th, 2019 at 6:11 pm
Only a couple games jameis made us lose? Wow. How can you keep the same logic of the running backs causing us to lose? That’s not what was written. –Joe We were winning at halftime because last week you said the game tied at halftime nullified all of jameis’ picks. Please help me comprehend this. Jameis is the common denominator to this losing. That’s not a Super Bowl quarterback. Nobody at JoeBucsFan has ever said he is a Super Bowl quarterback. –Joe
December 29th, 2019 at 6:12 pm
He’s about as firm as a rubber duckie.
December 29th, 2019 at 6:18 pm
Jameis has about as much of a chance to turn his career around as I do of being summoned to Asgard by Heimdall to save the Asgardians from Ragnarok. That said, he is coming back next year, because for all of his dumba$$ plays, he makes some that really no one else will even try. That alone is worth the franchise tag (no long term deal) to see if he can improve. Lots of mean spiritedness going around today. C’mon folks, it’s the Holidays. 🤗
December 29th, 2019 at 6:20 pm
JoetheWinstonApologist – always minimizing.
December 29th, 2019 at 6:23 pm
We could pay Jamis $100 million and get rid of Mike Evans, Barrett, David, Godwin, and Carlton Davis…or anybody who wants to win. We don’t need false hope in the locker-room. Jameis is proof we will never win…so don’t waste time trying to build a team with a QB that is focused on losing.
December 29th, 2019 at 6:32 pm
What a bizarre season and fitful ending. culture is changing, but an aircraft carrier doesn’t turn around quickly. BA will weed out the problems and Bucs make playoffs next year for sure! Should be an interesting and eventful offseason. GO BUCS!!!!
December 29th, 2019 at 6:41 pm
Ndog is ridiculous… Defense balled today.
December 29th, 2019 at 6:45 pm
The picks Jameis threw to end the last two games…were thrown on 1st down. It would be much more reasonable on 3rd or 4th down…in a make or break situation. I have a really problem that Jameis fails to take into account game situations. Boom … Bust will mostly likely never change.
December 29th, 2019 at 6:47 pm
If what he said was true then Jameis is toastis. I’ll believe it when I see it. He also once said the Oline was the unit that needed the most work then did nothing. Now all you people who wanted the Bucs to keep winning will be sour they wont draft earlier. Time to find a QB and sitting in trade-up land. Let him walk boys!! Cant stop beating ourselves with santa behind center
December 29th, 2019 at 6:54 pm
Yeah sure, believe it when I see it coach.
December 29th, 2019 at 6:58 pm
BA can shove it. As an OC, he stinks!!
December 29th, 2019 at 7:26 pm
It’s five games that Winston lost for the Bucs, not two.
Even if you get to the playoffs, you have to have 3 or 4 good games in a row to win the Super Bowl. Can Mr. Inconsistency even get 2?
December 29th, 2019 at 7:32 pm
Joe says:
Jameis Winston also found a way to help other teams a little too much in at least a couple of games.
Really in a couple of games–the kid had multiple multi interception games, many games with more than 1 pick, he is not the answer, step up to plate and admit it.
December 29th, 2019 at 7:40 pm
Joe says:
In the last two games, two running-back fumbles were killers
2 fumbles!?–the 30 int’s with multiple pick sixes were the game killers. All the yards obtained are meaningless in the face of 30 picks!
December 29th, 2019 at 7:41 pm
As I said elsewhere, barring a trade or free agency QB, Jameis Winston will be here next year.
Because if we draft a QB, he won’t be good enough quick enough…and like it or not, Jameis did have us a top five offense all year.

so true–read my above posts, wtf is wrong with Joe that he is so tied to a toxic quarterback!?
December 29th, 2019 at 7:43 pm
2 fumbles in the last two games… Winston averages that in giveaways per game! With that said, tag Winston for another year. Last yr to fix his crap or he gone
December 30th, 2019 at 1:19 am
At a 14th pick (that is right, with Winston we were better than 13 other NFL Teams—not cellar dweller anymore) you losers will never find a future Franchise QB so knock off criticising Joe!
December 30th, 2019 at 1:57 am
“Nobody at JoeBucsFan has ever said he is a Super Bowl quarterback. –Joe”
Does Said = Beating around the Bush without ever touching it? Like your shared thoughts of the lack of anything happening with the beautiful women you speak of occasionally here? You can sure say alot without really saying anything. True, while that does not mean you said it. Nice!
December 30th, 2019 at 7:04 am
If by some chance you think FAMOUS lost this game all by himself…then you just might be a hater and you may need one of these race cards….I give mine out on a regular bases!!!

“Is the Teddy Bridgewater era going to begin??”

Good lord, i hope not. He does not have the arm strength to match the WR talent and Arians downfield passing game.

Buc fans: the most ignorant fan base in the country. Jameis will get minimum $30M, 3 years. Bucs won’t draft a QB with at least first 3 picks. Franchising him means paying close to $40M thereafter. Cutting Winston loose means at least a 4-5 year rebuild and of course he will ho on to win a SB with his new team. Arians and Licht will re-sign him.
December 30th, 2019 at 11:56 am
I think BA could get a second tier QB like he did with Palmer & get to the playoffs. Remember Gruden had a great defense & Brad Johnson & won a SB.
