Bruce Arians Drops The “E” Word
November 14th, 2021
Dangerous quotes from Bucco Bruce Arians.
It’s always scary when a head coach questions his team’s effort, especially when it’s a very team, a Super Bowl team, that knows what it takes to win.
Arians blasted the Bucs’ “energy” after today’s brutal loss in Washington. “Energy” is a nice way of saying effort.
As anyone who plays any sport knows, effort and energy are about heart and desire. You don’t have to be good or big or strong to leave it all out on the field, court or ice.
It’s obvious that Arians sees too many Bucs not playing not playing to the whistle or not running every route, or taking every tackling angle, like their football lives are on the line.
Consider the following Arians comments.
“We played with enough passion and energy for eight or nine minutes to win games in this league.”
“We’re not showing up on Sundays.”
“It’s very alarming to watch the energy that we practice with and show up with the lack of execution that it takes to win in this league on Sunday. We got a lot of soul searching to do.”
“Energy and passion is very fixable. You know, the penalties, they gotta get corrected sooner or later. … The stupidity has to go away if we’re going to go anywhere. … We’re a very dumb football team, and that’s a reflection of the coaches.”
The “alarming” line from Arians is one Joe hasn’t heard previously. The head coach is right. Collectively, were the Bucs the more physical, nasty team today? Did they look hungry for blood and a No. 1 seed?
No hunger. No Super Bowl.
It’s that simple. It’s on the players, and definitely on Arians to find new ways to motivate his troops.

It’s hard for the team to take Bruce Arians seriously, he has treaded dangerously into clown territory:
The lack of energy? That’s on Arians.
The obvious lack of preparation for this game? That’s on Arians.
The repeated, stupid penalties? That’s on Arians.
There are serious signs that he’s losing this team, if he hasn’t already lost them.
November 14th, 2021 at 6:38 pm
Great observation Bruce.
What are you going to do about it?
November 14th, 2021 at 6:39 pm
These are scary quotes… I know I saw an article about extending Brady after the season… At this point (right now) I’m wondering, if he even is going to want to be here anymore after his contract is up.
November 14th, 2021 at 6:40 pm
They really need a W badly next monday. Gotta stop the bleeding
November 14th, 2021 at 6:41 pm
If we only had a coaching staff.
November 14th, 2021 at 6:41 pm
The WFT played the same way the Dolphins played on Thursday night, like their season was on the line and desperate teams play desperate.
November 14th, 2021 at 6:41 pm
It was nice finally hearing him say it falls on his coaches. Wasn’t a big enough poke at them though. Also saying they’re a dumb team right now is a 100% correct. I can’t remember the question…. But you could see him turn red after one of them. Should have been that way all game, going up and down that sideline yelling at everyone.
November 14th, 2021 at 6:43 pm
Joe, why not some hurry up to get the offense out of their fog? Washington was much more prepared for this game than us, A.B. is right, that’s on the coaches. Coming out after the half I expected us to have some urgency. Nope, nodda, nothing. That’s on the players, inexcusable.
November 14th, 2021 at 6:45 pm
Nobody is scared of this team right now.
Everyone is licking their chops ready for a shot at the “champs”!
Total disgrace.
November 14th, 2021 at 6:45 pm
After this team is one and done in the playoffs Brady will retire and I believe Gronk has told Brady hes not coming back. BA will leave because of stress issues. That leaves Licht to name the new coach who will be Bowles! Ouch!
November 14th, 2021 at 6:45 pm
All talk, no action. Maybe if he squeezes the brain of his 2 coordinators to be creative and imaginative on their game planning, maybe simething might happen. As I said in my previous post, Arians has the best Chef (Brady) and ingredients to create an out of this world gourmet but his staff (coordinators) keeps telling the Chef to just make fried chicken and mashed optato. Pathetic.
November 14th, 2021 at 6:46 pm
It reflects on coaching not that the coaching is the cause. The players aren’t going to keep taking his public bashing when preparation is 100% on the coaching staff. How is it possible his blow buddy coaching staff goes unscaved?
November 14th, 2021 at 6:46 pm
Been saying it since week 1. The focus and energy isn’t there. Even in the wins it never seemed we were totally engaged. The lack of effort and focus was enemy number one for this team. Throw in the injuries and it just begins to crumble. It all doesn’t fall on the players, it goes for the coaching staff as well. Pray for health and Vita’s diagnosis and have faith in Brady to right the ship. Lots of football left to play.
November 14th, 2021 at 6:53 pm
was Bruce watching the Bucs/WFT game that was on today????? He said the receivers had nothing to do with the interceptions, it was all Tom. Huh? If my memory serves me right, Tom completed a pass and the receiver gets it punched out and it’s intercepted. How in Hell is that Tom’s fault???????? The 2nd one yes. I see Bruce is back to throwing Tom under the bus. I’m afraid this is going to have a negative effect in the rest of the season. Stop being so damn arrogant tubby and stick to the golf cart
November 14th, 2021 at 6:54 pm
It’s gonna be a long month if we come out flat, at home, against the damned Giants.
November 14th, 2021 at 6:58 pm
The fact at the end of the day, whether you’re more the optimistic kind of Bucs fan, or more of the hater type of Bucs fan….is that the whole team (Coaches and Players) looked like it was comprised of a bunch of NE’ER-DO-WELLS today
It was disappointing, inexcusable and completely embarrassing.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:01 pm
19 plays.. 80 yards..10 minutes of clock used… by Taylor Manning….welcome back to futility…smells like repeat of our last Super Bowl hangover
November 14th, 2021 at 7:02 pm
How long are gronk and brown out? When are these guys coming back?
November 14th, 2021 at 7:03 pm
I wonder if our defense has any pride. To not even give your offense a chance is embarrassing. 10 minute drive. That’s crazy against an average QB.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:07 pm
Remember all the clowns talking about an undefeated season? What a joke. Bye week babies. Today was a bunch of losers playing on their self-perceived superiority and the WFT wasn’t having it.
Well, this is starting to feel like last year, 7-5. But not.
Wasting opportunities. Mailing it in. That’s worse than just sucking.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:08 pm
Idc what the targets say. The games tell you the story. No Gronk or AB our offense is not as fire. What happen to those “other” weapons?
November 14th, 2021 at 7:10 pm
Those other 3 teams are better than the Bucs right now. Rams, cowboys, and packers. Just better defensively.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:16 pm
We’re one and done in the playoffs. Next year the team gets blown up. Neither one of the coordinators are head coaching material. They’re barely serviceable NFL coordinators. Next year we start from scratch…again. Buckle up.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:16 pm
Yeah Mod… Undefeated…what a joke.
Simply put, this team has been manhandled from day one this year, and beat up like a dogs play toy. Sure, we won some very winnable games big…squeaked by some tough ones or lost them. And with the injuries, we are just a shadow ourselves. Penalties galore… sure sign of losers. 10-7 looks pretty optimistic right now.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:17 pm
Show me… that is about what it looks like, unless we find some magic cure all to restore health.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:17 pm
I’ll drop the E word too:
ENEMA – that’s what we need. Time for the entire team to go on a retreat and get a cleanse!
November 14th, 2021 at 7:22 pm
Bunting should be back against the giants. It’s been over two months. How long is recovery from a dislocation?
November 14th, 2021 at 7:23 pm
TB leave this loser coach. So when a receiver can’t hold on to ball its the QBs fault ? When a loser coach makes no half time adjustments who’s fault is that ? The owner who hired the loser !
November 14th, 2021 at 7:23 pm
I’ll give you another E word – EDUCATION
Get educated and stop with the stoooopid penalties!
November 14th, 2021 at 7:24 pm
It starts in the offseason
We drafted kyle trask
we are a superbowl winning team ready to go now and we drafted a backup quarterback with our second round pick
Explain that Bruce Arians!
November 14th, 2021 at 7:25 pm
The Bucs lost because of one player. Dee Delaney.
The guy is a 7th string corner, he has no business in the NFL, and yet he’s starting. This is why good players make more than bad players. The depth chart does matter and you can’t throw any trash out there and expect to win.
Delaney gave up 2 TD’s, he was completely out of place on the 1st TD he gave up, and he commits PI in the endzone on a badly overthrown ball. He also gave up a key 3rd down conversation I remember, and I’m sure he gave up more plays I forgot about.
If you get Davis back, if you get SMB back, now it’s SMB or Dean out there instead of Delany, and while I’m not a big fan of SMB or Dean, they at least have speed to keep up with WRs.
If Delany isn’t out there, this game does not go this way, it’s completely different.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:25 pm
We need to play better defense period!
November 14th, 2021 at 7:26 pm
I’ll give you another E word… Erection, this team has no testerone right now, and they’re not going to be able to get up for anything right now.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:26 pm
Two face arians at his best !
I still get over when he said team captains had to take care of penalties.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:27 pm
Rod munch. Stop blaming 1 player.
The whole team. Including your “depth “ behind got canned
November 14th, 2021 at 7:29 pm
OJ Howard can absorb a big one.
I was hopeful for this dude but, omg he’s done NOTHING in the NFL.
Cam Brate can go suck it as well.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:31 pm
MUNCH. Delaney?
I don’t understand why everyone constantly needs to try to find a head coach or a coordinator or a DB or Brady etc. to blame.
Yes he screwed up… BUT so did just about everyone on the offenses and defense.
Plus Brady has had two games in a row now where he’s sucked basically.
It’s as if he’s looking to check down immediately.
This was on everyone (except White & David) just like the Saints game was on everyone. Players and coaches.
There’s no doubt in my mind they get their head out of their asssz and go on a run, I just thought it would start this week.
Maybe that’s the wake up call they need
November 14th, 2021 at 7:36 pm
E for Enigma
“Can you use it in a sentence please?”
This team that is comprised of almost entirely the same exact Players and Coaches as last year’s Super Bowl winning squad is an Enigma
November 14th, 2021 at 7:36 pm
It was piss poor game plan, without the benefit of passion or interest by the players. You could tell from the first series. Then For the defense to give Up a 19 play series at the end instead of shutting it down and handing the ball back to the offense was very much a message by the players on the coaching. I didn’t see Tom leading, I didn’t see any passion beyond Devin White. Now what? The beginning of the end?
November 14th, 2021 at 7:38 pm
Arians insists on players being accountable, and now he’s thrown his staff under the bus, insisting on them to be accountable.
And yet where is Arians holding himself accountable? Nowhere.
This defies the imagination. He wants everyone to believe that on his watch the team conducted great practices, which seemingly implies that he’s not responsible for the turd left floating in the punch bowl.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:39 pm
win the division and we’re ok!
November 14th, 2021 at 7:39 pm
I dont see any heart. I don’t see any fire. I don’t see any intensity. And it’s not just one unit or player, it’s the whole darn team.
This team is going nowhere.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:42 pm
@RodMunch
You can fix erections with a shot, but you can not fix being outcoached.
Ron Rivera and Jack Del Taco had their guys ready for us, and it showed.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:53 pm
The problem why i have a problem getting on the offense is because in the second half this game was 16-13 when the bucs scored. This defense could have turn this game around by simply getting a stop there and they couldn’t do it. Bucs make it 23-19 bad miss by the kicker and the defense couldn’t get a stop. Ended the game and didn’ give brady and this offense a chance. 29 points to washington is a disgrace. They better turn this around. This team is good enough but the coaching lacks.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:53 pm
Looking at the standings, we are not far away from the other leading teams. Packers, cowboys, rams, cardinals are just 1 loss less than Bucs. Not the end of the world but I know it is frustrating.
November 14th, 2021 at 7:56 pm
163doubleplay the problem with that is that this team could easily lose next week to the giants. No wins are guaranteed not with this defense and coaching staff.
November 14th, 2021 at 8:00 pm
I hate to see this team reduced to Seahawks/Pete Carroll, lost locker room etc
November 14th, 2021 at 8:02 pm
Arians is treading on canceling himself out with the comments and no following up actions. He needs to put the blame on himself for never having this team prepared and making the coordinators responsible. I dont want either of them being the next Bucs head coach. When the Arians stench is finally removed, take his crew with him.
November 14th, 2021 at 8:02 pm
We’re not sneaking up on anybody this year the way we did the last several games last year. That’s the difference. Teams are actually preparing for us and have an entire season’s worth of film to breakdown our weaknesses.
Last year, even I could’ve coached this overloaded team with a GOAT at the helm. This team, we need legitimate QUALIFIED coaches, but no, we have people no smarter than armchair fans like me running the show.
November 14th, 2021 at 8:08 pm
Lets face it, Arians is an overrated coach. No risk-it, no-biscuit BS. He or we were just lucky to have Brady, Gronk and AB last year. Look at the Patriots now, the genius of Belichick guiding a rookie QB to a great win.
November 14th, 2021 at 8:09 pm
Izod i can only this team with sean payton.
November 14th, 2021 at 8:36 pm
@ PassingThru
What do you mean he “threw the staff under the bus” and didn’t hold himself “accountable”? You realize how silly those comments together are right….
Hoe else would you take blame, fault or accountability w/o “throwing (something) under the bus” if you’re gonna perceive that saying that way?!? You’re trying to make taking blame, fault and accountability synonymous w/ “throwing under the bus” and that’s pretty elementary, nor is it accurate here. If it was then you could never say anything remotely negative, even when true or accurate. Additionally, if you’re blaming yourself first and foremost as well, then that’s not “throwing under the bus” (i.e. “reflection of the Coaches”…Bruce’s title even says “Coach” in it). Throwing under the bus (albeit used way too loosely collectively and as you just did) would mean you don’t go under that proverbial bus yourself while throwing the rest of them under. He didn’t even do that. So both of your statements are just inaccurate and somewhat contradict each other in a way.
You say “throwing under the bus”. Most say it’s taking accountability.
To take that “accountability” word you mentioned, you’re taking the blame. It was a poor performance, he alluded to such. You don’t just let it slide under the rug.
He was critical of both Players and Coaches alike. As IT WAS both players and Coaches….and therefore as the Head Coach of this football team, he should have been. There’s only 2 aspects of the team on Sunday’s (besides the Referees) that can possibly be at fault for a poor performance like today’s….Players and Coaches.
If anything he’s taking the HEAD of the blame and accountability by saying “Coaches” or coaching because he’s the HEAD Coach. He’s also in charge of the Coaching Staff. It’s literally HIS staff that he himself picked out (he even said this just the other day to Jenna Laine when answering a question “that’s why you don’t let GM’s pick/hire the Coaches”). So the entire Coaching Staff or “Coaches” as he said here is a reflection of himself, first and foremost. Period.
No one aspect of this team was singled out or threw under the bus here. It was a collective fail from the Head Coach, down to the staff, down to the Players.

November 14th, 2021 at 8:41 pm
It was a pathetic effort today by our Buccaneers as they were convincingly beaten by a terrible team. I think the coach is right there is just not consistent effort the o-line was horrible the running game was okay receivers dropped balls deported back to terrible passes and a defense outside of a couple plays look less than average. Consider that today the first two sacks of the season came into our best linebacker and where nine games in. I don’t believe this team’s getting blown up next year we’re still in a tremendously talented team but if we don’t get mentally tough and fast this year’s going to be if we’re lucky one-and-done in the playoffs. I love this team I’m a huge fan of my Buccaneers and I’m going to root for our Buccaneers to the last moment of the last game which I hope turns out to be the Super Bowl!
November 14th, 2021 at 8:43 pm
Arians sounds like he slugged a few JW blacks before his remarks. You have a fool for a coach. Even the most talented teams need leadership. He can’t even get around practice without a golf cart, and is obviously in the final stages of alcoholism. The ass kissing y’all gave this guy. Ben can’t help but chuckle. Once this season ends in a divisional round loss. Arians will politely retire, and fall into a vat of whiskey. Brady will pick the next coach. Ben’s money is on Josh, or Billy O. Then it’ll truly be NE south
November 14th, 2021 at 8:48 pm
They practiced Howard jumping offsides on the first play. All the recievers running right in to the middle and in to each other for a Rugby Scrum? Looke discombobulated out there. Defense held up for a long time but the O never took the pressure off of them. I put the loss on the game plan and the O. Just what it appeared to me. I thought the idea this year was for the D to hold them to under 25 points and the O to score more than 25.
November 14th, 2021 at 8:49 pm
Gotta lotta armchair types posting tonight.
Some good points, but mostly unintelligible drivel.
I’ll check back when everyone (mostly) sobers up.
Pretty sad when Pete is getting props for his posts!
November 14th, 2021 at 8:50 pm
Ben told y’all it’s different being the hunted. Maybe y’all forgot cuz it’s been like 25 years. The coaches are incompetent, or incapable of producing good game plans. It’s all dependant on the talent gap, and when they can’t impose will on another team, they’re cooked. Mark Ben’s words, y’all will have a new coach, and it ain’t gonna be leftwit. I hope y’all will welcome a new d coordinator also, as this one has his head so far up his backside, he can see out his mouth
November 14th, 2021 at 8:56 pm
Your coach has Brain damage. It’s quite common for alcoholics. Pete and I call it ammonia brain
November 14th, 2021 at 8:58 pm
The WFT at 2-6 were a team with their backs against the wall, and they came out to show they weren’t totally dead in the water. This was probably their best game of the season. We will win our division, and hopefully get some of our impact players healed up for a late season push.
November 14th, 2021 at 9:12 pm
Blaming injuries is another hallmark of losers. Nobody cares about injuries, every NFL team has injuries. The mark of a good team, is overcoming injuries, and finding a way to win. Unless this team is completely healthy, and can overwhelm teams with it’s talent gap, they’re screwed
November 14th, 2021 at 9:14 pm
they were in like this non energetic funk with tons of mistakes basically the whole day…
meanwhile at times it looked like some guys were flying around out there…
yet they couldn’t get into any consistent flow on offense or defense…
there were just a few moments on both sides of the ball…
you gotta hope this is a result of time off with hookers, and will correct itself as they get back to schedule…
we shall see
November 14th, 2021 at 9:19 pm
We need a come to Jesus, need a fire lit. This season is far from over. Either Tom needs to light the fire, or someone needs to light Tom’s fire. We can’t pack it up and give up. That is the old bucs, and idk about you but I’m not going back to the old bucs. We are better off now than we were last year. If we stay healthy, our only loss is to the Ram’s. I’m a very firm believer in injuries throwing wrenches in our game plans. Once we get healthy, we’ll be set. We caught fire before the playoffs last year and I’m confident it’ll be a repeat this year. But we absolutely CANNOT play the blame game and give up. Our team is far too good for that we’ve came too far. 2 years ago we’d kill for 6-3, now we’re bitching about it? With massive injuries?? Come on now
November 14th, 2021 at 9:21 pm
It was a bad loss to a lesser team. And half the fan base is calling for a new coach before you even see how they respond. Bunch of bandwahon jumping spoiled brats.
November 14th, 2021 at 9:31 pm
I’m hoping this is are Chicago game last year the wake up call. But I have never seen so many check downs to a running back. It was getting almost comical. They were giving us everything underneath. O.j should have had a huge day. It felt like we had three plays today handoff to Lenny check down to Lenny. And a quick screen to Godwin with no offensive lineman pulling. Just one rookie receiver blocking who weighs about 155 pounds. Leftwitch you had two weeks to scheme that great offensive plan. Felt like I was back in the race for ten with Raheem today
November 14th, 2021 at 9:53 pm
Bruce complaining about energy when he rides golf carts all summer and brags about not dipping into meeting, oh and not to mention he doesn’t ever want his coaches to stay late because cocktail hour or something.
Licht and Bruce are very lucky Brady chose Tampa, otherwise they would’ve been out of the league after signing Teddy Bridgewater.
November 14th, 2021 at 9:59 pm
The coaching,
The players and their moronic penalties,
The injuries…
This season will end abruptly for the Bucs.
November 14th, 2021 at 10:36 pm
This team has the most predictable offense and defense in the league. We only succeed off of individual talent. When well coached teams play is we struggle.
November 14th, 2021 at 10:41 pm
Arians needs to retire after this season.
He blew a timeout on a 2nd 7. Then he didnt go for it on 4th down at end of 3rd quarter down 3 pts.
November 14th, 2021 at 10:45 pm
Coach Joe judge has two weeks to prepare for the Bucs on Monday night and their super star running back returns. Will give the Bucs a third loss in a row, diminishing any hope of winning the NFC south. Also, costing them a wild card. ….
November 14th, 2021 at 10:45 pm
This team is just terrible without Gronk. OJ Howard is awful. This was no upset. The WFT was clearly better. The pirate ship is sinking and Jason Licht’s blind lucky run is about to be over. This loss is on Licht. Worst GM in the league. The Bucs should tank the rest of the season and draft the best QB available or try to sign a healthy and much improved Jameis Winston (if he will even play for the Bucs again.)
November 14th, 2021 at 10:46 pm
In the 4th quarter, at midfield, up by multiple scores, the Chiefs go with a fake punt.
Today, in the 4th quarter, at midfield, down by multiple scores, Arians punts the ball despite the defense being unable to stop anyone.
November 14th, 2021 at 11:07 pm
Did I just read that Arians doesn’t sit in on meetings?? And that he doesn’t let his coaches stay late?? Is that true?? Is Arians the problem??
November 14th, 2021 at 11:24 pm
you simply can not play all lackadaisical against 2 teams you knocked out of the playoffs last year…
they don’t forget…
they are hunting your azz like no other
November 14th, 2021 at 11:25 pm
@ Swannee,
“any hope of winning the NFC South” if the Giants beat us you say…
Even if we lost next week to the Giants AND the Saints win next week, we’d still have the same record WITH a game left to play against them to break the tiebreaker (that they would hypothetically hold at that point)
You do realize what “any hope” means? And more specifically the word “hope” in general right….
Is it possible we could could lose the NFC South and/or not get a Wild Card spot? Yes, of course it is. It’s also possible we could not win another single game or it’s even possible we could win them all. But to say IF we lose next week vs the Giants, that it would dissolve “any hope” of the NFC South crown or a Wild Card birth is just ludicrous (to put it politely).
Wow do people say some supremely dumb and reactionary stuff sometimes 🤯 holy cow do you sound silly (I’m gonna hopefully assume you’re still in like grade school or something….fingers crossed for humanity)
Sometimes people really do just blurt stuff out when they talk w/ no actual thought or justification. There’s other ways to get attention if that’s what you’re looking for there fam!
(I won’t touch the even wilder Wild Card statement that followed and compounded the silliness of your statement)
November 14th, 2021 at 11:28 pm
Coaching staffs have no clue. Lack of vision, creativity and solutions. The only thing BA is good at, blame others. Sounds familiar.
November 14th, 2021 at 11:29 pm
And now you really know..just how hard it is to repeat. All them parties… Celebrations. The thrill of ballin is gone. We shall see how bad these guys want it or not. Every team will be bringing it against us. And you thought some of these games were gonna be easy aye? Stay tuned.
November 14th, 2021 at 11:33 pm
Don’t worry guys, top NFC teams are just 1 less loss than the Bucs. We have more games to be played and hopefully, along the way, the ship corrects itself on time. Its frustrating but it’s not the end of the season. It happens. GO BUCS !!!!

Some of you should be nominated for Oscars for the over-re-acting you do. This team is still 6-3, and two games out of first but you’ve got Brady and Gronk leaving, 4 more games being lost, no playoff win, the entire coaching staff being fired, etc etc. Yes, we are a terrible road team and have a long way to go to be back to being as good as we were at the end of last year. We’ve also gotten a lot of bad breaks that went our way last year. Just take a deep breath and relax.
I know it helps you feel smart when you panic and prognosticate our failure, but come back to earth and remember: you really just aren’t that smart.

No energy and mistakes

November seems to be a rough month for this team. Here’s hoping for a better Dec, Jan and Feb like last season.

I think it is time to panic. It’s time to hope that this team gets enough wins to get into the playoffs. The Panthers could creep up and win the division now that they have Cam Newton.

Fire Arians and hire Gruden

The play on offense and defense was poor.We let a 2-6 team come out and out play our offense hands down and our defense they offense stretches the ball down the field while Mr Tom thumb checks it down almost 90% of the time I want the suckerners to know u guys look like a bad high school team out there.

Let’s take a look at this league so far: the Cowboys got destroyed by Denver, Buffalo lost to Jacksonville, Cam Newton just beat Arizona, the mighty Rams lost to a nobody a while back and Green Bay got crushed by James Winston of all people. It’s a long season folks and you don’t win a Super Bowl in November. There’s a reason why Tom Terrific lobbyied for Gronk and AB and Fournette when he got here- they make his job easier. And with two of them out you can see a real difference in the offense. Let this team get back to full strength and then let’s see who wants to play them come December.

Well, Washington always plays us tough. Having said that we aren’t a quality football team at the moment. We are a weak 6-3 at best.

This is the same effect that has brought every Superbowl winning team to its worst. Look at Seatle for instance, great defense, great team that could have one 3 in a row. What happened? They got cocky! They thought that a losing team was not worth preparing for. (Just saw this last night, right?) This brings me to the Bucs, they put a beating on a the team (KC) that everyone couldn’t beat and embarrassed them. Just so, they’re still living the SB.
Well Buccs, its done and over. Wake the f… up and prove to the world that your win was well earned.

Playoffs, playoffs. Are you kidding me? The only thing scarier than Bowles as next head coach would be Lefty. Coaches out coached again. Why isn’t Tryon playing more snaps than JPP?

I still say after the last two games and what his wife said after the Patriots game they are ready to move back to the Patriots territory. Maybe he wants to finish his career with the Patriots. Hard to watch Brady MVP player play like he could care less win or loss he was there for the fame and money.

Maybe if Arians promised the team that he’d take them for ice cream after the game if they won? It always worked on my kids when they were younger…….

you can say what you want to but it’s all on the defense… Where is the defense we saw at the end of last season…to have a great team you got to have a good defense and a great quarterback…the defense is crap right now and that’s very disappointing.

Forget the drops and dumb presnap penalties. Our Oline and D line were outplayed badly. Lots of quick screens and short passes underneath were all Brady could do….are our receivers creating any separation or is he quick releasing to avoid getting hit? Their QB threw it downfield often to wide open guys…no deep balls but holes in our zone. Shaq the sack machine…did he play yesterday? Let’s get AB and Gronk and our dep secondary guys back and see what we can do. We’re only 9 games in….still 8 left. Go Bucs!!

Hey folks, its always how you finish but they better not think they can turn it on like a faucet. It is a very bad habit to get into. With the exception if Brady i dont know if the rest have enough desire and motivation to climb the hill again. We will see.
