Outcoached
January 16th, 2023
Todd Bowles
Joe is stunned Todd Bowles’ defense got its ass handed to it tonight.
That’s the strength of the team and the strength of the head coach.
Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott went 25-for-33 for 305 yards and 4 touchdowns. There were more coverage breakdowns in the Bucs defense than Joe can remember seeing in one game, capped by the late touchdown throw to CeeDee Lamb. The closest Buccaneer appeared to be on Clearwater Beach.
The Bucs run defense needed to be special for Tampa Bay to win. It wasn’t.
Broken tackles were a common sight.
Joe was fired up with Tampa Bay opening strong forcing back-to-back 3-and-outs, but Dallas scored touchdowns on its next four possessions. Game over.
Dallas tight end Dalton Schultz had his best game of the season, and Bucs inside linebackers are supposed to be good at covering tight ends.
Joe keeps coming back to Bowles’ defense getting outcoached by the Dallas braintrust of Mike McCarthy (winner of 11 playoff games) and Kellen Moore.
It’s rare for a Bowles to be outfoxed and outplayed. And it happened at the absolute worst time tonight.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:26 pm
All. Season. Long.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:26 pm
I’m telling u they don’t want to play for Bowles anymore.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:27 pm
It’s not rare at all. It has happened almost every single game since we lost to the rams in the playoffs.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:27 pm
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coaches:
Offensive Minded:
Jon Gruden (SUPER BOWL!!!!!)
Bruce Arians (SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!)
Dirk Koetter (Top 5 Offense)
Defensive Minded:
Todd Bowels (Losing record)
Lovie Smith (Losing record)
Raheem Morris (Losing record)
Greg Schiano (Losing record)
Tony Dungy (No Super Bowls)
Do we see the obvious pattern here? 🤔
January 16th, 2023 at 11:27 pm
BACK TO THE YUCS!
BECAUSE BOWELS SUCKS!
January 16th, 2023 at 11:28 pm
The defense shot their wad on the first two drives. They were gassed after that.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:28 pm
Need to make a change ASAP.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:28 pm
Major incompetence !!! FIRE BOWLES !!! and bring Leftnut with him … embarassing
January 16th, 2023 at 11:28 pm
Bowles was hired to check a box. Not because he’s a good coach.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:28 pm
Garbage

#1. Officiating shaped this season. Bucs had to overcome huge momentum shifting ref jobs all year. It gets lost in the shuffle because the calls usually come early, shape the game and get forgotten.
#2. Bowles and Leftwich were atrocious. Absolutely atrocious. Too many times and moments but not going for it on 4th & 2, down 13-0 from the 50 said it all. Leftwich even ran the ball on the first play of the game, showing just how ignorant and selfish he is.
#3. Brady didn’t want to be in Tampa this year. He signed the 3rd year contract extension when it still looked like they had a chance to 3-peat and they needed contract space to bring in some hired guns to make #2 possible. There was a wink and nodded that if #2 didn’t happen, Glazers would allow him to pursue elsewhere. They didn’t keep their word. He was stuck with a subpar roster and then Arians’ ego gave him another eff you by sticking him with Bowles and Leftwich. This year was pure pain on top of personal struggles.
#4. Evans is a Bucs Legend. AND he is overrated. Too many drops and misses in key moments.
#5. Brady didn’t play well this year for all of the reasons noted above and maybe because of age. We’ll find out if the latter is true next year when he plays for either the Saints, Panthers, Titans, Dolphins or Raiders. My guess is the Raiders just because they might be the only team that take him. Unless Payton risks his legacy to coach the Panthers and Brady will follow.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:29 pm
PLEASE! I employ the Glazers to please fire this man. Please clean house! Licht is ok tho!
January 16th, 2023 at 11:29 pm
Team glazer needs to pull the plug get Sean Payton in here
January 16th, 2023 at 11:29 pm
Rebuild
January 16th, 2023 at 11:29 pm
Bucs looks like the Jets when Bowls was coaching them.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:29 pm
They played the way they’ve played all year. Especially when they actually played a good team, they got destroyed. This years coaching experiment needs to be over tomorrow. If Arians ain’t coming back to be the head coach, they all need to go first thing. Change the locks and mail them their sh&$. No need to pick it up.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:30 pm
Have they been fired yet??
January 16th, 2023 at 11:30 pm
It’s really simple, Joe. Mike McCarthy, Kellen Moore and Dan Quinn are ACTUAL coaches. Not some guys carried over by nepotism.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:30 pm
Fire that stiff tonight.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:30 pm

January 16th, 2023 at 11:13 pm
Don’t forget what Goodell said a few weeks ago about firing 1st year head coaches. He was practically calling out the Glazers by name.
That’s stupid. Bucs have hired more black coaches than any NFL team even before Bowles was coach.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:30 pm
JOE, WHAT???
BOWLES IS A *GENIUS* AND OUTSMARTED THE ENTIRE NFL BY KEEPING RYAN JENSEN’S MEANINGLESS PARTIAL ACL TEAR A SECRET!!!
January 16th, 2023 at 11:30 pm
He is way over his head.
He doesn’t have the skill set to be head coach.
Licht, Arians and the Glazers were sold a LEMON
January 16th, 2023 at 11:30 pm
Even a GOAT cannot overcome the idiocy of these coaches. What a shame !
January 16th, 2023 at 11:31 pm
Rare for Bowles to be outcoached and outplayed????? Joe, what in the world have you been watching all season?
January 16th, 2023 at 11:31 pm
Todd has to go. This was an abomination of coaching…but it was also reflective of what we’ve seen this entire season.

January 16th, 2023 at 11:31 pm
Hope the owners read these websites, and FB, and IG and everywhere else Bucs fans make their feelings known.
FIRE EVERY COACH, TRAINER, SCOUT, HOT DOG VENDOR
take it down to the studs
January 16th, 2023 at 11:31 pm
They got embarrassed on both sides of the ball. A garbage TD won’t mask the drubbing they took tonight. Wow, just wow.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:31 pm
There are only 5 or 6 free agents worth signing. It’s doubtful Lavonte David will continue playing.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:31 pm
This defense is overrated . They literally looked lost out there. They quit. Also evans was a complete no show in this game.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:31 pm
Old School Buc. How is that bandwagon?
January 16th, 2023 at 11:31 pm
Oh well, they just would have lost by 45 next week in San Francisco.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:32 pm
I was on the fence with keeping bowles. This sealed it. Fire bowles and fire leftwich. That was one of the poorest coaching games I’ve seen in a while. Brady was bad too that’s for sure.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:32 pm
I BLAME ARIES FOR RECOMMENDING THIS AS HAT FOR HEAD COACH!
January 16th, 2023 at 11:32 pm
The sad part is this will be a long rebuild. We have no cap space for years to come as so much of the money was pushed into the future on some of these contracts. Get ready to suck for a good while.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:33 pm
They should have fured this idiot long time ago.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:33 pm
Anyway the turning point for me was 4th and 3 and toilet bowles punting knowing the defense was trash all game.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:33 pm
What a way to go looked like a team that didn’t deserve to be in the playoffs absolutely embarrassing.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:33 pm
FIRE BOWLES.
FIRE LEFTWICH.
We want Sean Payton.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:33 pm
Nothing new.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:34 pm
So tell me if this sounds familiar. Early on, the Bucs are getting pressure and making plays blitzing — then on 3rd downs, they go to a soft zone and give up an easy 1st down. Over and over again. I turned it off early since I already knew the outcome. Just glad I didn’t pay $1200 for a couple of seats to watch that abortion.
Anywho, now that Brady is gone, the rebuild begins, and another two decades of losing. Thanks Todd, thanks Leftwich, you two idiots did a hell of a job.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:34 pm
Brady was bad but where on earth was evans? Was he double teamed? Dude didn’t show up.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:34 pm
That was AWFUL !! Bowles has to go , I would imagine a deal is in the works for Payton to come in with Brady and he stays
January 16th, 2023 at 11:34 pm
Bowel movement is only slightly better as a DC Than he is as a HC. He is very poor in both roles. And BTW Joe. Enough of you defense of LT Smith. The dude lacks character. He needs to be cut loose in the coming rebuild. And I wouldn’t be surprised if this ended his career.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:34 pm
#1. Officiating shaped this season. Bucs had to overcome huge momentum shifting ref jobs all year. It gets lost in the shuffle because the calls usually come early, shape the game and get forgotten. Wrolstadt’s roughing the passer early on when game was scoreless, failure to call offensive and defensive holding in moments that mattered were just further evidence. NFL cannot have Brady create any more separation from the future of the NFL they needed tuned it. Only game I watched in 3 years with Tampa that got a fair whistle was Super Bowl 55. Carl Cheffers gave a middle finger to the NFL and thus wasn’t allowed back much to ref games. Shawn Hochuli, on the hand, officiated both Bucs-Rams game by design.
#2. Bowles and Leftwich were atrocious. Absolutely atrocious. Too many times and moments but not going for it on 4th & 2, down 13-0 from the 50 said it all. Leftwich even ran the ball on the first play of the game, showing just how ignorant and selfish he is.
#3. Brady didn’t want to be in Tampa this year.

January 16th, 2023 at 11:34 pm
Eric Bieniemy for HC!!!!
January 16th, 2023 at 11:36 pm
Kellen Moore bested Bowles on national TV!…
the game has passed him by….
Bring in a OC as our new HC….
January 16th, 2023 at 11:36 pm
Where was Jamel Dean? He’s been the best, most consistent corner all year yet this game he only gets special teams duties. Davis is crazy overpaid, can’t catch a cold.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:36 pm
Complete trash coaching and game plan. Out coaches, defense and a Brady looked like horse maneuver. Yea we need to move on at Qb and get us a young talented one. It’s been all year long smh 💩💩🚽
January 16th, 2023 at 11:37 pm
I think I might have counted 5 or 6 plays that the Dallas O-line didn’t hold.
Who pays these damn Refs anyways
January 16th, 2023 at 11:37 pm
Defense hasn’t looked terrible this year but a few games which a offense consistently going 3 n out all game will kill your defense but tonight Bowles didn’t make any adjustments and the offense has bin terrible all year which is criminal. Fire bowels n leftwhich. Keep some of the position coaches. I hope I read a article tomorrow when I wake up that bowels n leftwhich are fired
January 16th, 2023 at 11:37 pm
Are there even five players under contract for 2023 that are untouchable?
Wirfs
Winfield
Vea
???
This team is about to begin a very long rebuild and there’s no way Todd Bowles can lead it.
It would be a crime to bring him back.
Screw the optics of what color a HC is, Todd ain’t the guy.
I’d be happy to see Jason Licht go too. He’s average at best.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:37 pm
In part the defense was bad because our offense can’t move the ball and so they were tired. You can see they come out with more intensity at the start of the game and after halftime.
Coaches have to go.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:37 pm
Our**
January 16th, 2023 at 11:37 pm
Prayers for the injured Buc player. Adios to a sheity game and sheity season. They did not belong in the playoffs. Don’t give a dam where Brady goes next season.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:38 pm
An SUV has been spotted speeding to the Tampa Airport with a football player in uniform!!!
January 16th, 2023 at 11:38 pm
Seriously, the entire coaching staff needs to be fired tonight, starting with Todd Bowles. This team has progressively gotten worse all season and there is no future moving forward unless major changes are made. Jason Licht should stay but that’s about it. Many old veterans need to clear out too.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:39 pm
When Mike McCarthy out coaches you, it’s a horrible sign. The defense had no answers. I almost puked when they completed that third and 8. Dallas has two weapons. A good reciever in CD, and a decent TE. They ate our lunches. Brady had nowhere to go all night long. Same story. I’m sad.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:40 pm
Clean house and start fresh. No future with Bowles
January 16th, 2023 at 11:40 pm
I was done when Bowles decided to go for 2 after the touchdown, knowing that we’d have convert two more two-point conversions for that plan to work. When you’re still in the game (and we still were), take the easy points, idiot!
January 16th, 2023 at 11:40 pm
Fire them all. Tomorrow! No, do it tonight.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:41 pm
“It’s rare for a Bowles to be outfoxed and outplayed. And it happened at the absolute worst time tonight.”
Here’s where you lost me. It’s completely normal for Bowels to be outfoxed and outplayed. In five seasons as a head coach, he’s only had a winning record once.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:41 pm
If they trot out Todd Bowles for next season, you just crush any hopes of even being competitive.
Forget winning a game, they were not even competitive for so many games this year.
Lets see, Leeman Bennett, Ray Perkins, Lovie Smith………
“Come on man”
January 16th, 2023 at 11:41 pm
I told you Shultz was going to be dangerous. Bowles thought he was going to play another low scoring game. It hasn’t changed all year. It’s who he is.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:41 pm
The bucs’s worse mistake was made in the offseason when they hired Bowles as a head coach and BL is not an OC. He rode BA’s cocktails.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:42 pm
Trade Evans…guy doesn’t want to be here
January 16th, 2023 at 11:42 pm
Bowles went into a shell this year. On all those easy 3rd downs he was giving up all night, it was mostly because he went to soft zones. I have no idea why you think soft zones would work when they haven’t worked all season, outside of one half of football vs the Ravens.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:43 pm
He has one move. A-gap blitz. That’s it. Blown coverages all over the place. No discipline. Bowles needs to go.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:43 pm
The 49ers will make Dallas look average next year because they play defense.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:43 pm
Ben the GA Buc, no offense buddy, but if you actually look it up, it also means propping up friends, not only relatives.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:43 pm
What Rob said. What say you Joe?
January 16th, 2023 at 11:44 pm
Again, there’s no reason or need to fire Bowles or Leftwich. Brady is gone, there is no chance he’s back, and that means next year you’re Tanking with Trask(tm). You want a loser coach and an idiot OC in place because you want to lose and get the top pick in 2024. Next season is legit cap hell, so you might as well hold onto these two dopes running the team since the goal should be to lose, and these two morons give you the best chance at losing.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:44 pm
This game was astrocious. Players came in and seems like they did not practice the whole week. There was no fire. FIRE BOWLES AND LEFTNUT ASAP!!!
January 16th, 2023 at 11:44 pm
Rod Munch Bowles is overrated as an dc. When he doesn’t have a pass rush he looks clueless.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:46 pm
The worse game of the weekend brought to you by toilet bowles.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:46 pm
This just in. Bucs won the second half 14 – 13. RETAIN THE COACHING STAFF!!!!
(Not)
January 16th, 2023 at 11:46 pm
Fire everyone that was embarrassing.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:46 pm
Yeah let’s make linebackers, whom coverage skills aren’t the best, cover wide receivers. I been saying this for three year so far. Too stubborn to adapt.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:47 pm
AmauryGuzman – The Bucs did get pressure when they blitzed, at least early on, but then on 3rd and 7 or 3rd and 8, after blitzing on 1st and 2nd down, he just has everyone drop back 10 yards and give up an easy 1st down. It’s just stupid, cowarderly coaching. The end of the Rams game last year ruined this season, at least on defense. Bowles was flat out scared to blitz and it’s why the blitz percentage dropped tremendously.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:48 pm
Bowles is the genius…..in his own mind. Sadly in the most important games his players don’t know what they’re supposed to do. Blown coverages a plenty as I predicted. It means he doesn’t measure his players comprehension of their assignments and Toad holds none accountable, especially Diva White, a complete no show. Again.
Time to clean house in the coaching staff. Get busy tomorrow, Glazerettes. Too bad Malcolm weren’t still here .
January 16th, 2023 at 11:48 pm
He was losing the third string quarterbacks. Tonight he got lit up by Dak!
Fire this fool.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:49 pm
Painful. Time to blow it up. Brady is done.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:50 pm
Rod Munch it’s suicide. Dak did everything to his defense. Again bowles is not a head coach in this league. Coaching matters in this league. This team always looks lost to start games it’s embarrassing.

Yep, it’s beyond stupid. White is one of the best interior pass rushers in the NFL, and makes a huge difference when he’s just rushing up the guy, either blowing up the other teams run game, or getting penetration on passing plays.
But instead of having him rush, rush and rush again, Bowles has him back playing in a soft zone where he’s a below average player.
Why not use your All-Pro pass rusher as, you know, a pass rusher. Bowles is just not a very smart guy.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:50 pm
When will we find out if they fire Bowzo and Lefty?
January 16th, 2023 at 11:50 pm
Rod is right. Keep the dopes in place. Let the tank begin. If Brady comes back, he’s completely crazy. Either take the 300 million from Fox, or go to a team you can put over the hump. Kinda like why he came here. I’m blasted and tired. Sleepy.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:51 pm
I don’t think anyone wants to be here without Tom.
It was a good three year lease.
It was a good few seasons, but it’s over now.
This franchise is in bad shape.
They must blow this thing up and start the rebuild.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:51 pm
49ers will make the cowboys their bitch next week. That team plays defense. Mentally tough.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:53 pm
When he Blitz Dan saw it . Give the man credit and his online. He still completed passes.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:53 pm

But they better not trade for Sean Payton.

If they don’t fire this idiot and his band of fools pretending to be an NFL staff, expect about 20k season ticket cancellations
He has got to GO!!!!
January 16th, 2023 at 11:53 pm
Truth: No team in our division deserved to be in the playoffs. Brady sucked all year except for a couple games and his passing was terrible most of the time. Given the players that left and the injuries early on and Brady’s obvious decline and the weak coaching staff it isn’t all that surprising they sucked all season.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:54 pm
Bowels sucks as a head coach and is highly overrated as DC too! Did he ever tell his secondary that that playing zone includes coverage of anyone entering that zone? If so, they didn’t hear him. That’s why it’s called Zone Coverage. Damn near every pass, Db’s looking at each other pointing fingers! These guys have been playing together for a while now and I think there may have been 2 contested passes all night. Every reception was made by a receiver wide open it seemed. Didn’t see that from their secondary. Totally overwhelmed. Hon, BL and Armstrong need to go. Not a bad idea on OL coaches who can’t seem to coach up professionals on opening holes for RBs. What a disgusting way to end a pitiful year. We were had by BA and his selling this crap to Glazers. Dumpster fire.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:54 pm
As I mentioned in the game thread, the Bucs were out-coached by Mike McCarthy.
Let that sink in.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:55 pm
A nuke is about to detonate under OBP. Bruce Arians thought he was doing his people and the organization a solid. Turns out that was the root cause of the ‘rrhea we haszn here.
Thanks BA for getting Tom and the SB. Enjoy your golf and keep quiet when Leftbowels are rapidly relieved of their duties.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:55 pm
Usf@ the D was tired because they couldn’t get off the field back to back 80 & 90 yd drive and ready for.it? 27 first downs. That’s hard to do. Joe you are wrong this D is smoke & mirrors they keep shat arse teams under 20 but give up 30+ to every decent team. 27 first downs, Defensive genius.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:55 pm
So pewter report is reporting that Bowles is to be retained and Leftwhich is getting fired. Bowles will get to hand pick a new OC since he inherited this staff.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:56 pm
“Even a GOAT cannot overcome the idiocy of these coaches”
Brady throwing directly to a wide open Cowboys player in the redzone was the main turning point in this game….But #blameleftwhich
One of the worst plays of his career
January 16th, 2023 at 11:56 pm
It’s rare? Literally every team with a back up or rookie QB starting out coached Bowles all season. He calls blitzes/schemes like he’s playing Madden. Blitz White middle , blitz White off the end, blitz Winfield, blitz White again….High statistical probability White….and only White was going to blitz.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:56 pm
Brady had never lose to the Falcons, never lost the Cowboys, never had a losing season.
Bowles and Leftwich were able to change all those things in just a single season.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:56 pm
8-10. As I stated earlier the voice of reason among the many fans that thought that Brady and Jensen would lead this team to a superbowl. It’s talent that wins out. Yes anyone on the NFC is beatable. But a sub 500 8-9 team is the most beatable of them all. None of you saw it coming. 31 fan bases saw this but not this one. Don’t be fooled by the score. It wasn’t even that close.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:56 pm
Payton to Tampa is not even an option no one has to worry about that.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:57 pm
NEFan
Your boy was pretty terrible tonight…..as hes been all season. Take the L Brady truthers….
January 16th, 2023 at 11:58 pm
Joe might be shocked by this but most of us are not.
We knew Todd Bowels was awful as a head coach before they handed him this job. Just ask the NY Jets fanbase, now, they know suck when they see it.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:59 pm
The front 7 played well at the beginning of the game, though the Buc defense is a one trick pony. They can only rush the passer; they do not do an adequate job on the edge in terms of sealing it off for outside runs, nor do the OLBs have the sense to process the game and drop into coverage when necessary. The pass coverage absolutely stinks, which is why Dak lit them up like the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:59 pm
Redeemer… NEfan, Jack Sparrow, any other TB12 fans.
Lets keep up wherever Brady moves on. Im sure you’re like me and very sad that this showing may have been his last. He didn’t deserve this coaching sh!tsh@w and I hope he plays next year. Honestly not even for a SB. I have 6 to remember with infinite joy (I was a Warner fan when Brady won his first!). I just want to enjoy football. For the first time in 22 years, these cooking coaches have crushed my enjoyment of the game. I just want to watch TB12 on a competent team with competent coaches… with a fighting chance to win.
The reason I enjoy football is because it shows us what TEAMWORK can accomplish. A sh!&y coach will show you how dysfunctional it can be. I just really wanna watch the GOAT play with a good team for one LAST DANCE!

Goatflogger@ thanks BA for shoving these two unqualified shat arse wannabe coaches down the Bucs throat so you can prove how open minded you are about a.diverse coaching staff. Wrong reasons relic.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:01 am
Outcoached we’ve said that for about 15 games. This team wouldn’t even be in the playoffs if not for Brady’s last second heroics. Can’t imagine he wants to come back to tampa after losing like that
January 17th, 2023 at 12:02 am
If I were a team owner, the last person I would want involved in making picks is Todd Bowles.
Lavante Davide : retire
Mike Evans: trade
Godwin : Keep, he’ll address the fumbles this off season
Tom Brady : He’s officially gone now…and it would take and all-star coach to convince him to come back. An offensive-minded coach!
As to those saying we need a young, talented QB?
I don’t give a flip about his age…just finish rebuilding that offensive line, Jason.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:02 am
HAHAHA tbbucs3: Ive had 22 years of watching unmatched excellence. You simply want to get back to losing. Here you go. You can have this thread and your decade of losing. I hope it brings you great agony.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:05 am
Bruce Arians 31pts. a game 3 seasons. Todd and bone head Byron with essentially the same roster 18 pts. a game 1 miserable, wierd, head slapping, maddening, weak minded, 1 season.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:05 am
I don’t even know of a good option out there, if I’m honest.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:05 am
Rod Munch, you make a great point. I am so angry with bowels an leftdork that I want to see them punished. But next year is rebuild and salary cap repair year . Wwhat better punishment than subjecting them to a losing season that further diminishes their their credibility. But then agin, is diminishing their credibility even possible?
January 17th, 2023 at 12:06 am
The game went exactly as I predicted (except for the missed XPs): Bucs never had a chance.
Bowles is Top 5 worst HC in the league and the Glazers seem to like him. Bucs won’t win more than 4 games next year. Book it.

Off season steps-
1- demand an apology from BA
2- fire BL
3- fire Bowles
4- before Brady leaves tonight tell him he can choose the OC & HC
In no particular order….
5- sign a free agent DE
6- draft DL
7- sign a free agent LG
8- draft OL
9- draft a young, fast, quick receiver
10- draft DB
11- draft LB
January 17th, 2023 at 12:11 am
“I don’t even know of a good option out there, if I’m honest”
Heres a few good options…..
Derrick Carr
Lamar Jackson
Not Tom Brady
Not Kyle Trask
Someone in the Draft

Well the coaching was bad, but this team was quite flawed. I mentioned the flaws repeatedly over the summer: They lost 3 red zone threats: Gronk, AB, and Godwin (never 100%) and replaced them with a variety of non red zone threats (Gage, Jones, and Randolph). But the biggest head-scratcher was not improving the O Line. Licht did a good job replacing Cappa with Shaq Mason, but it was obvious during the preseason there were problems at C and LG… and that is not accounting for the unexpected regression at LT. Licht should have fixed this O Line, he had plenty of time.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:13 am
He relies too much on the blitz. That works against junky teams, but against a good quarterback with a serviceable line and receivers (good playoff teams), it gets you caught with your pants down over and over. See: tonight.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:15 am
Ttsuc, my boy didn’t give up 27 first downs and scores on 5 straight drives or 2 80 and 1 90yd drives. That’s on your boy Bowels.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:17 am
NE – man… they will never learn. Losers be losers as their boi likes to say
January 17th, 2023 at 12:17 am
Your Mom@ he blitzed against the QB with the most ints in the league. He’s a moron.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:18 am
Arians played the Glazers for fools. He got the cushy job he wanted. Saddled them with a horrendous coaching staff. And they put him in the ring of honor. Remember what Gruden said in an email to Allen the got him expelled from the ROH? We’ll the Glazers are swinging from Arians’.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:18 am
Dallas will get destroyed by the 49ers because John Lynch learned from his time here that it is imperative to PAY THE REFS!
January 17th, 2023 at 12:22 am
Gotta tank for high draft choice next season. Go ahead and make bowel movement and leftfailure suffer for it.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:23 am
Brady literary threw to a wide open Cowboys player in the endzone with the playoffs on the line…..
Maybe Brady will have some interest in the Houston Roughriders for the upcoming USFL season?? Cause the NFL has passed him by
January 17th, 2023 at 12:25 am
This staff and team is now a total clunker. Junk it and start over. New GM too. Out with the whole bunch. I would keep only the Punter and build a new team around him.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:26 am
Pop Warner 101, goaline D watch for the bootleg. Defensive genius, hah. Last Dance no need to get worked up, ttsuc was invisible after the Panther game. Not worth the effort.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:28 am
David, item 7. Move Wirfs to LT. Release Smith (of course) due to lack of character and salary cap. Sign free agent RT. Othewise, what you said.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:28 am
Anyone who thinks retaining a head coach with a 32-50 record is nuts. Time to clean house. Start with Jason, he really lucked into Brady.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:30 am
The scroller said Jim Harbaugh will be staying at Michigan, which the Glazers hear as Let’s make him an offer he can’t refuse….
January 17th, 2023 at 12:30 am
tbbuc3:
There were two questionable Brady passes into the endzone. The interception though was questionable, but it remains to be seen if it was Brady’s fault. He was in retreat due to the pass rush in his face, and it looked like he may not have gotten enough on that ball to throw it out of bounds. But then it may also have been miscommunication with his intended receiver (Godwin I believe) who broke to the outside instead of to the inside. There has been lots of miscommunication all season. You’d have to be in that huddle to make a judgement on that call, tbbucs3.
The other questionable pass was definitely Brady’s fault. He was trying to throw a pass to the slow and unathletic Brate, who was surrounded by three Dallas defenders. I have no idea why he made that decision, that was clearly on him.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:30 am
Anyone who thinks retaining a head coach with a 32-50 record is crazy. This business is about selling tickets. Todd doesn’t sell the fan bae. Time to clean house. Start with Jason, he really lucked into Brady.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:31 am
Hey Lastdance you sure are a busy person. Time to move on from QB’s closer to 50 than 40. I want a young QB and take our lumps as they grow. We have a lot of holes to fill next season. Color me not impressed with your MMA talk about teaching. I’ve been a Bucs can since 1975 when I moved to St. Pete. I’ve been on Joebucsfan almost from the beginning. You have not. You sound like a grumpy old fart. I am 57 and 6’4 230. Yeah as the song goes I aint as good as I once was. But as my daddy told me those who talk sh!t are usually full of it.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:33 am
“who was surrounded by three Dallas defenders”
*4 defenders….it was FOUR, I was at the game Brady threw into quadruple coverage
January 17th, 2023 at 12:35 am
Hey Rusty… Your daddy sounds like he ke=new what he was talking about. But as everyone knows size doesn’t matter unless its in a weighing contest. Im just telling an idiot to shut his hole because he’s a fool. Now I will tell you the same. I have said I am a TB12 fan. I am a player fan period. Always have been. Why would I follow a sh!tty team for decades? Thats truly dumbaZZ stuff there. However, my words about what I do are true. It is not a brag. I appreciate TB12 because he works so hard at excelling… so I try to do the same. What do you do besides be tall and heavy?
January 17th, 2023 at 12:39 am
Also… I apologize and I would buy you a beer if I could. I do let emotion get the better of me after a bad loss… especially one that was no fun to watch. I said what I said because some people should know that there are smart people who work hard at being great and sometimes come up short. But to constantly pick fights man… just is not cool. The pats fans weren’t this bad and they are total doooshes
January 17th, 2023 at 12:40 am
Ttsucs 66 passes 1 int. That’s 2 games for most QB’s. Ttsucs your team is on the 5 1st down , NOT one running play. 1 play doesn’t lose a game ask Trevor Lawrence and Josh Allen.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:40 am
Hey lastdance. If or want to make a point, why don’t you 1) back it up and 2) use at least some level of English that doesn’t come across as an uneducated retard.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:41 am
NE – right dude. 4 ints… but the team played for one another and the coach. This team QUIT after that. Loser mentality. And ME13 dropping another TD… typical
January 17th, 2023 at 12:42 am
The coaches and the quarterback has to go,let’s stop being afraid to place blame where it belongs, Brady has stunk up Raymond James all season long. Leftwich doesn’t throw uncontested interceptions Brady did. Brady was incapable of running offense all season long, but people love Brady so much their blind to his faults, example he throws uncontested interceptions and everybody who loves him will ignore the truth and blame the receivers. Is anyone on this blogs willing to accept and tell the truth….C’mon Man….truth is Brady has stunk this year…he c couldnt the throw, run, scramble, Improvise, bc he has no legs, which I needed in today’s NFL to be successful…… Brady lovers keep on ignoring the truth
January 17th, 2023 at 12:45 am
Todd Blowes has tp goes. Total embarrassment.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:46 am
hey lander… sounds a lot like you like the smell of Bowels stink.. .you perv
January 17th, 2023 at 12:47 am
ok tb12 is going to go….now go back to being a last place team
January 17th, 2023 at 1:07 am
Without A premiere pass rusher we were toast. Our pressure on Dak was horrendous. I was really surprised after Shaq went down we didn’t try to find at least a 6 to 8 sack replacement vet. A few wierd non moved this season that really cost us. We should have got better o line help on and on. I don’t think with Evans hea got 2 to 4 good seasons left and Godwin signed. Rachad white ia the future at R.B. but Davis is getting old. Please get rid of Bowlea it’s time for a change. A good 4 season run but it’s over. We can’t win with scared Bowls and drink and dunk up chuck little nut Left Biotch
January 17th, 2023 at 1:09 am
Hey Pats dummys
Id rather have Trevor Lawerences 4 TD 4 INT performance ANY DAY over Bradys measly 1 int with nothing to show for it
January 17th, 2023 at 1:22 am
The championship season of two years ago was sweet. The following year, was torpedoed by the horrendous job of our DC in the Rams game. Hope followed when TB decided not to retire. Then BA said pay me not to be HC And the consummate suckers, the Glazers who were handed their wealth (they could have never earned it ob their own) said thank you sir, may I have another? So they were stuck with the worst HC ( the DC Responsible for the Rams loss) OC combination in the league and honored BA with on ROH induction. And the season end with an outrageously fortuitously division championship followed by an embarrassing blowout loss in the first playoff game. I ask you, can there be a greater failure than the Glazers?
Tampa is my home, but I have no respect for the Glazers. I love Chris Godwin and Tristen Wirfs, but thourgly disappointed with LT Smith and totally disgusted with the two leading coaches. So, am I a fan or not a fan? Is it time for me to go?
January 17th, 2023 at 1:40 am
tbbucs3- what you will get is 15 years of irrelevance… You dumbazz
January 17th, 2023 at 2:04 am
Defense has been bad all season, collectively and individually, overrated and mediocre at best.
The same Bowles mess that lost the playoff game vs. the Rams face planted this entire game. Pitiful.
The only reason the defense was better during that Super Bowl run was the presence of guys like JPP, Suh, etc. and the initial hunger and inspiration of Brady. And Arians, though not a great coach by any stretch, was far better than Bowles.
That novelty wore off, everyone got lazy, never got disciplined or smarter, and those veteran losses piled up and were never filled. Rooks have had little impact, while the veterans never got better and got even more jaded and confused along the rest of the team.
January 17th, 2023 at 5:18 am
Glazers do the right thing and FIRE EVERYBODY.
January 17th, 2023 at 6:10 am
Steele nailed it!
For that reason, Brady will be most likely headed to 49ers after Cowboys knock them off next week.
You see, Brady is unlike others who are satisfied with just one ring and happy to ride along. Because when you think the first championship was hard, the second one is harder. And no one wants to commit to such dedication with a ring already in your pocket. But Brady keeps seeking “the next ring” like religion. He grinds and grind. It will tire and turn off many people. I get the impression that this team wasn’t up to that level commitment. Pretty understandable. Brady is an odd man out here.
I think he’s gone for a team that is as hungry for his next ring.
Go Bucs!
January 17th, 2023 at 7:12 am
Someone please explain to me why in the f**k it matters if u fire a black coach after a first year of midway thru the year or whatever. If they aint doing their job rigjt, u get a new coach. Its just how it is. God dAmn. So it isnt about winninng anymore, its about politics. BS
January 17th, 2023 at 7:29 am
NOT the best feeling after the Bucs lose bad to the cowboys, but it wasn’t there year, they need some coaching changes FAST and if i was a betting man, I don’t think you will see TB12 in Tampa next season, I say take that 10yr FOX DEAL worth over 300 million plus and do that.
January 17th, 2023 at 7:49 am
Brady trolls – 2003-2019-worst franchise in football 2020-22 Super Bowl MVP all pro five playoff wins 28 points more and four of them a Super Bowl playoff ever years 2023-2030- Playing in half fill stadiums back to pre-Brady, 3 to 7 wins for the next 2 decades. He stuck it to you guys for three years. All you haters. You’ll never take away what he did here. Enjoy your night last night. You’ll have an athletic quarterback, next year, enjoy it !! Lol
January 17th, 2023 at 7:49 am
Blow this MoFu up! Todd Bowles is the worst NFL coach I have ever seen. These old brittle players need to be gone.
We go 2-15 next season with Trask then we get a franchise QB in the draft.
Blow this joke of a team up TODAY.
January 17th, 2023 at 9:05 am
As far as Brady goes, I have seen anything that bad since the onita brian concert
January 17th, 2023 at 9:16 am
Why was our BEST, yes our best, CB only playing special teams? Was Dean too injured to play D?
January 17th, 2023 at 9:39 am
Hey Lastdance, you sound like you’re telling us all how short and thin you are. I am a land surveyor I’ve worked on building 75 south from Ft. Myers the impovements to highway 41 to Miami, worked Tropican field and Mercedes-Benz stadium. I have worked in HI, AZ, NC, GA, VA, AL. Built multiple subdivisions multiple beach front 12+ story building, laid miles and miles of water&sewer lines. Yeah I am not a MMA trainer, or a Nurse Practitioner, I do play a mean Mandolin though. If the Buccaneers means that little to you why are you on every post? See ya in the next post and the next post and the next post, talking the same stuff. For the record I am a dark rum man myself. Beer is not my thing. Cheers to the hope you head out to the next player you follow team blog and fill its posts with all your positive vibes. Good luck.
