Buccaneers 32, Eagles 9

January 15th, 2024

Nothing feels better than the Bucs delivering the Eagles an ass-kicking in the playoffs — at The Licht House.

What A Game!

The Bucs came out throwing and didn’t let up. The crazy thing was they weren’t throwing to their stud weapons.

It was Cade Otton, David Moore and Trey Palmer that were lighting up the field. Unbelievable!

As the game wore on, Chris Godwin and Mike Evans emerged and thhe Eagles had no answer. The rout was on.

Joe is so damn impressed. Baker Mayfield added to his eventual fat 2024 contract, going 22-for-36 for 337 yards and 3 touchdown passes. Stunning stuff.

Steady play from the Bucs’ starting cornerbacks was an encouraging sign, and Joe adored the Anthony Nelson safety and the Lavonte David tackle for loss that set it up.

The Bucs defense looked a lot like the 2020 playoffs edition. The run defense was totally smothering and the pressure on Eagles QB Jalen Hurts was relentless.

Major kudos to Todd Bowles for getting his team ready to play from the opening whistle and outcoaching the Eagles all night long.

A blowout playoff “W” for Tampa Bay. Wow. Bring on the Lions!

Joe’s starting to think there’s nothing this Bucs team can’t achieve in the NFC.

    Go Bucs! Beat the Lions!

    All you BM6 haters…

  6. Trask Cult Leader Says:

    Keep an eye on the Philly news tonight……

  7. Rod Munch Says:

    Congrats to the Baker Bois, you man came through on the biggest stage and he’ll certainly be back next year.

    Not being sarcastic either, Baker played great tonight, and absolutely earned his right to return next year.

    Hopefully he can go out next week and do it again, then we can talk about a multi-year deal.

    Very happy the Bucs won, and Bowles and Baker get all the credit tonight.

  8. unbelievable Says:

    WHAT A GAME!!!!

    LFG!

  9. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Master Baker first with 300 yards and 3TDs in Bucs playoff history!!!!! PAY THE MAN and keep ME13!!

  10. Brandon Says:

    All the haters picking us to lose can crawl back in their holes. Bowles, Baker, these guys overcame a ton, including fans that didn’t believe in them. These guys can play.

  11. HC Grover Says:

    Yee Haw! What a game

  12. Marky Mark Says:

    Can we stop harping on the performances against Carolina. They swept. This is not ice skating with style points.

  13. Usfbuc Says:

    Great win, first really complete game this year. Coaches cost us some games, defense cost us some games, and the offense did as well but when it mattered most they got their game together.

  14. unbelievable Says:

    Mad props to Bowles, Canales, Baker and the defense!

    Def got some lucky breaks but all around complete performance!

  15. realistic-optimistic Says:

    Congrats, Bucs! Didn’t see it coming from Bowles; that defensive performance was a Bowles classic. Offense was hot and cold, but it was more than enough against a disjoint PHI team. Cooked bird tonight.

  16. David Says:

    There is no honor and glory to defeat a trash team that had lost 5 of his last 6 games with so many injuries. I predicted TB/BM will defeat a trash team that they are good at. Real test will be next week when trash journeyman will show his trash game again. I hate to anticipate but it will be blow out win by Lions.

  17. infomeplease Says:

    Great TEAM WIN!!!

  18. D-Rome Says:

    This has been such a fun team to watch. Frustrating at times but this is a very likeable team…. except for the whiners crying over the backup QB.

  19. Usfbuc Says:

    Less dropped passes and this could have been an even bigger win.

  20. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    STFU DAVID!!!!!

  21. infomeplease Says:

    David eat sh!t

  22. Marky Mark Says:

    Baker has said he plays his best in elimination games and backs it up.

  23. Leighroy Says:

    Maybe it doesn’t get better than this this year, but I’m thrilled tonight!

  24. Rob in Land O' Lakes Says:

    I am so effing proud of this team. $80 million in dead cap money.. a winning season.. a division title and beating the crap out of Philly. Well done!

  25. D-Rome Says:

    I don’t see how Sirianni survives this. Good. He seems like a dhag.

  26. Jack Clark Says:

    Anybody seen that uppity NE Fan? 😆

  27. Baking with Canales Says:

    Go Bucs & Packers!!!!

  28. Bucfan1988 Says:

    Game 1 is DONE for the Buccaneer Revenge Tour!!

    A win for the good guys!!!

  29. ModHairKen Says:

    Bowles. Canales. Mayfield. You can stop renting.

  30. Marky Mark Says:

    All the haterz shut the front door and don,t come back.

  31. Bye bye TRASK C.U.L.T. Says:

    The TRASK C.U.L.T. is officially D.E.A.D. !!!!! Bye bye

  32. Usfbuc Says:

    Omg David stop man, enjoy the win

  33. beeej Says:

    Fire Bowles! Fire David!

  34. Zoocomics Says:

    DAVID is an A-hole, why are you even here man? Damn.

  35. DS Says:

    Trask mob is now defunct lol

  36. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Look what a healthy and unleashed Baker can do with this offense AND with the “other guys” on this offense!!! Detroit is a different beast, but I have much more confidence with this kind of win than I did about 4 hours ago. Hopefully going on the road solodifies this team and they come out swinging in the Motor City

  37. Tucker Says:

    Wow incredible go bucs!!!

  38. Bucsfan951 Says:

    Yeah, I was that dude who said I would be ultimately shocked if the Bucs win by two scores.

    I will gladly eat crow every week for this. GLADLY!!!

  39. unbelievable Says:

    lol David you sad miserable sack of s(p)it

    Have fun seething with anger about a playoff win ya dolt

  40. Jack Clark Says:

    We are officially better without Tom Brady! 🥳

  41. Ben the GA Buc Says:

    I didn’t believe in them tonight. Coach Bowles had them ready and the offensive game plan was the best of any game we’ve seen this year. Well done Bucs. Onto Motown!

  42. Hail2dabucs Says:

    Hey David! Go kick rocks buddy & get off this site ! It is you who is trash ! Go bucs !

  43. Trask To The Future Says:

    GREAT GAME, BAKER!

    Now do it again!

  44. HC Grover Says:

    We can beat the Lions for the Division.

  45. Jeffs grandpa Says:

    Trask cupcakes can’t admit they were wrong like usual

  46. bucs31 Says:

    Baker haters realllllyyyyy quiet rn

  47. Jeagan1999 Says:

    David = Loser!

  48. Let ‘em bake Says:

    Oh David, you’re the guy who would be mad if they cured cancer, because it would put people out of work. Very sad .

  49. Saskbucs Says:

    Go Bucs! Gotta tip my cap to Bowles and Canales tonight. You could tell from the first series it was going to be a fun watch because they came out slinging! Bring that same energy to Detroit and should be another fun one!

  50. lanshark Says:

    22 of 36 tonight, with an NFL record 6 DROPS in the first half alone.

    All you Baker haters and Trask suck-ups – STFU

    Hell of a team win – thank you Mr Canales for finally recognizing that this team passes to set up the run.

    On to Detroit

  51. Bucfan1988 Says:

    As someone that wanted to see Trask play all season, I’ll give full credit to Mayfield….Other than a couple of plays that frustrated me, he played great….

    Canales called an excellent game as well….

    Awesome Job BUCS!!!!!

    Let’s continue the revenge tour next week with a win in Detroit
    Payback’s a biotch 🙂

  52. Buc You Says:

    Hell yes!!!!!!!!! Go Bucs!!!!! Keep that defense juicing Todd Bowles!!!!

  53. Curse of Gruden Says:

    The Bucs season turned the corner once #TEAMPOSITIVE! was formed.
    Keep it up!
    Go Bucs!!!

  54. Daniel Dream Says:

    Yeah baby! I knew we had it in us!!! Let’s hope! We’re ready for Detroit now! Go Bucs!!!

  55. BucVoyager Says:

    Bucs came out slinging the ball instead of 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Baker really played the game of his life. Even throwing the ball up like an NBA tipoff worked for him.

  56. Old Sombrero Says:

    Great win. I was one of many that doubted they’d win. Happy for Baker and Bowles. A well executed game plan. The whole team showed up sharp.

  57. Red86 Says:

    Baker played like a star this game. GREAT JOB OFFENSE AND DEFENSE!!! One rival down possibly two to go.

  58. Jason Anthony Sturgess Says:

    You still think you’ll be able to sign Baker for under 30 million?

  59. Delusional Intelligence Says:

    stat of the night.

    Philly was 0-for-9 on 3rd down. 0-for-2 on 4th down.

  60. Danny Says:

    David are you mad because your mom didn’t bring you your meatloaf in the basement?

  61. Eric Says:

    We own the Eagles.

  62. Weebs10 Says:

    Lets freaking goooooooooo!!!!

  63. Mr. Barf Says:

    Great payoff for us fans tonight

  64. ModHairKen Says:

    David the Dou. You loser. You’re a cancerous polyp in the colon of a rat

  65. bucs31 Says:

    Are we sure David is even a Bucs fan?

  66. infomeplease Says:

    More to come Sunday! Hopefully it resembles tonight.

  67. gotbbucs Says:

    That was a total team win

  68. Zzbucs Says:

    Are you going throw confidence Poll now?

    What are the fans going to say about Bowles now?

  69. HC Grover Says:

    Bakefield ruled the field! Congrats.

  70. Daniel Dream Says:

    It’s our time now! I’ve been saying this from day one!!! Once this team gets its chemistry it’s all the way to the Superbowl!!! Now it’s time! Go Bucs!!!

  71. firethecannons Says:

    Ok Todd Bowles another year, his defense is so good I would hate to lose that if he got fired. Keep Todd Bowles and Baker and Canales but also please draft a QB (J Trav) in later rounds.

  72. 'Sota2Jax Says:

    That defense was suffocating. Let’s go BUCS!

  73. Tye Says:

    2024 bucs off-season will be known as ‘stuck with Bowles’ but they won a playoff game…. yay Bucs!….

  74. Kidfloflo Says:

    Can u imagine Bakers stats if receivers didn’t drop like 150yds of passes!! Man if we only started Trask we would have really been cooking with his experience and height and all

  75. matthew veal Says:

    By being so good of a gm licht makes the players play vetter gecausevthey know licht can find a good replacement.

    He replaced om brady, dammit. Bruce too.gronk. fournette

    You bame it.

  76. BigPoppaBuc Says:

    That defense looked fast and physical. Our O-line got whipped a few too many times. Next week is going to be an absolute dog fight. Go BUCS!

  77. David Says:

    By the way, was Baker listed as questionable with rib and ankle injury ? This game proved that I was correct that Baker injury was just an excuse in case they lose to the trash Eagles. Also half of the trash Baker passing yards came after the catch due to Eagles poor tackling. Baker is good at defeating trash teams.
    TB/BM just extended their paycheck for another week before they get blown out by Lions.

  78. firethecannons Says:

    Defense was on fire!!!!!!!!!! Offense was able to move the ball well and Camarda kept them pinned nice!

  79. Shane Callahan Says:

    If we had started Trask, we would’ve defeated the Birds by 60. Bwahaha! (Tongue firmly in cheek.)

    Way to go Bucs!!!

  80. Rusty Shackleford Says:

    Go home Eagles fans!

  81. J Says:

    Fire the cannons

  83. Shane Callahan Says:

    David, you are officially a moron.

  84. BucsBaby808 Says:

    I’ve been reading these posts all season watching most of these thread posters show just how knowledgeable they are about the game. Trashing Bowles, as if his struggles as a HC with the Jets was exemplary of his potential caliber as a HC. As if all that lack of success for a team that shoots themselves in the foot more than most teams in the leauge was solely on him and had nothing to do with the GM, the owner, the QB, etc. (same team that picked Hackenberg in the second round when I’m sure Bowles wanted an edge rusher to stack that blitz, but GM knew best). Then when he got promoted last year just shy of training camp starting last year and the staff couldn’t be changed, he was solely responsible for a struggling Bucs as Brady dealt with off-the-field issues and Byron tried to sabotage the team because he wasn’t the one that got selected to take BA’s place. Now this year, he has the most dead money in the league, a new offensive coaching staff, a new QB, and one of the youngest teams in the league and you guys act like they should’ve been 17-0. What we just watched this season, and now in the first round, is just shy of a miracle and the entire time you act like the guy is a bad coach. This team is catching fire and seizing momentum at the right time and everyone needs to settle down on the Bowles hate. I just want to remind you all, that this is the same coach that didn’t allow Mahomes and the Chiefs to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl….I repeat, the same coach that didn’t allow a single touchdown to one of the best offensive teams in league history in the biggest game of the year. Yet I watch so many comments that he can’t coach in big games. He will be around, and if all goes well, he will be around for another Bucs Super Bowl and a long run. Does he need to make adjustments from time to time, for sure but get off his ass. FIRE THEM CANNONS and give the man his credit.

  85. TheBucsAnthem Says:

    I was wrong

  86. Dom Says:

    Cmon David. I’m all for fair cristism but Baker balled out today. Had a great game and could have been even better with all the drops. Got lucky on a couple dropped picks but he played his ass off tonight. Just hoping we can play as a complete team again against a tough Lions team

  87. orlbucfan Says:

    Bucs have done ABsolutely FABulous this year! Wow, I felt that they would win after GB won. Their offensive attack was similar to what the Pack did against Dallas yesterday. The next game against the Lions–let the best team win. Okay negative yahoos, go for it!

  88. phipps Says:

    Wow, big win. This is the worst “fan” board I’ve ever seen. But it is entertaining. The haters should probably own up to their ridiculous takes all year.

  89. HC Grover Says:

    And here we are battle with The Packers and Lions. Who would have guessed it? Bakefield, Goff, and Love.

  90. TheShaz Says:

    Being left for dead at the start of the season.

    To wining the division.

    To winning a play off game.

    From this point, we are playing with house money.

    It’s been a good season.

    Off to Detroit, I’m not lying, it will be a tough game. But we are playing with house money, the stress should bne on them, not us.

  91. Juan from Argentina Says:

    Fire Bowles…assholes

  92. Truth Teller Says:

    True Buc fan: Let’s not go writing checks to Baker after tonight. I’m not sold on him as a long-term answer for this team to win a Super Bowl! What other team would sign Baker to be their answer how many would take him and make him their franchise QB?

  93. Kev@Inverness Says:

    David, by the way…FU

  94. OklahomaAl Says:

    David is about as sharp as the crayons that the orderlies give him.

  95. BucsBeast Says:

    Sign

    BAKER

    NOW!

  96. Rod Munch Says:

    …and now I get to listen to a week of Eagles podcasts where they’ll be in full meltdown mode!

    Thank you Baker for showing up tonight! Do it again next week and I might even start to like you.

    But there is honor and glory in winning a playoff game so stop being a sourpuss

  98. Gipper Says:

    RodMunch and David,

    It’s not going to be that easy for you two. You need to grovel and admit that neither one of you knows a damn thing about pro football. You have proved it all season with your idiotic comments about Coach Bowels and Baker. Goodbye we hope forever.

  99. ToesOnTheLine!!! Says:

    No matter what next week holds, I think Bowles and his coaching staff can breathe easy that they won’t be let go, and Mayfieid earned himself a multiyear contract (in Tampa or another team…depending on the amount). Great team win tonight, and based on how the road team has historically done in the Lions-Bucs series I wouldn’t count the Bucs out next week.

  100. BucsBeast Says:

    I’ll be the 1st
    Bowles Hater to hinder my emotions.

    We’ll see ya next year Bowles

    Thats okay but just promise us you will stay under observation till the morning

  102. DBS Says:

    Shut up David. Best thing that could happen here is for you to join your brother. You and Tb bolts were both disgraced tonight because everything went contrary to what you predicted. You picked the Eagles to win And Baker and Bowles to be gone after this game.

  103. Jack Clark Says:

    @David waaa waaa waaa keep crying baby 😆

  104. CallTheSaltTruck Says:

    While I pile through some Eagles salt here, way to go Buccs! I love how much fight there was in the Buccs. No one wanted to go down. The second effort yards after contact were consistent and HUGE tonight. Baker took some shots, and the Buccs need to invest in some Grip Boost. But wow- what a game. Defense with some really big stops and incredible man coverage. Baker slinging it. Some great runs.

    Next stop Detroit. It’s gonna be tough, but there’s no freebies. Go get them, and FIRE THE CANNONS, baby!

  105. Rusty Shackleford Says:

    Sign Baker to a 2-3 year cap friendly team friendly deal.

  107. Buc4evr Says:

    Think about how insane this is. 80 million in dead cap,QB that no one wanted, a number of rookies, an Oline that wasn’t very good, last in running, and everyone thought we couldn’t win 6 games. We were projected to be last in the division.

  115. Rjscheapseats Says:

    Todd Bowles will be accepting apologies tomorrow between 1 and 2 at one Buc.
    A long line is expected.

  116. #99 the big fella Says:

    David, please meet me in a parking lot somewhere!
    I would love to knock some sense into your head.

  117. David Says:

    Here is the definition of their journeyman. He played as trash in the past two games against two trash teams, Saints & Panthers then he plays good against another trash team tonight. Followed by a trash performance against a good team next week. Baker=inconsistency=up & down.

  118. Citrus County Says:

    OUTSTANDING !!!

  119. LongSeason Says:

    Baker should be locked up for 5 year contract for being criminally good.
    Resign Mike Evans.

  123. BakerFan Says:

    LOL…. You Fools calling for signing Mayfield to team friendly deal, he did once and now it is time to pay him or someone else will. I sorta would like him to move on to a team that understands football, because what I see on here is totally ridiculous by some of yawl. He is very under appreciated by the fans of Tampa.

  133. David Says:

    I never said Baker had a bad game. I said he had a good game against a trash team.
    All you trash Baker fan will cry next week and make the excuses for his poor journeyman plays next week when he is back to his trash mode if we get blown out.

    Yes. Then there are 8. Go bucs

  141. Citrus County Says:

    This team is really messin’ with my head. Sometimes I wonder if they have been sandbagging with the offense. Maybe Dean and DavisIII are fully healthy. Dean looked good. Maybe Canales is learning the players. Maybe the low expectations for the season followed by a hot start and then #45’s BS combined with the Canales learning curve had a negative effect. Who knows? It does seem that Todd Bowles has coached his way to the playoffs. After the last two weeks I sure didn’t expect a game like this. I have been hot and cold on Bowles all year. He has earned his keep.

    Of course I want us to go all the way to the SB, but I now believe we just might.

    Joe, can we get an article bashing the God awful weatherman for once again getting it wrong.

    Reminds me of, I think it was the Panthers home game, where the idiot weatherman said it would be perfect conditions — and instead there was a huge downpour.

    I wonder how many tickets weren’t sold tonight because of the nonsense talking about it being a washout.

    Screw you weatherman.

    To all the Baker haters: I TOLD YOU SO LAST SUMMER. The previous three years now seem so far away.

    It isn’t polite to say “I TOLD YOU SO” but after all the hate Baker has taken on this site I say again I TOLD YOU SO !

    Sorry Mush.,,, that didn’t work We know that you don’t give a rip about ticket sales. This is just you venting that your backup hope of the rain contributing to a poor passing game you could then blame on Baker never materialized.

  146. Citrus County Says:

    Rod Munch; Go to your dictionary and look up the word prat. Then go look in the mirror and smile lovingly at yourself.

    Time for a big old slice of humble pie for this commenter.

    I did not see this coming.

    Happily proven wrong today.

    If the Packers have another miracle in them we could get a home title game

    32-9 is a beat down. LFG!!!

  148. Rod Munch Says:

    Citrus County – prat? Is that some sort of code word down at the rest stop that you speak to guys in other stalls? No thanks – not googling that.

  149. Rod Munch Says:

    Hey Tony, I literally, publicly, repeatedly, predicted the Bucs winning the game in a huge blowout – I even told people I was so confident that they should bet their houses on it. Where’s your prediction? Oh right, you refused to make one out of fear of being wrong, and your lack of faith in Baker. Me, I literally carried the banner for him game day thread.

    Only speak to me again after you’ve proven yourself like that.

  150. Citrus County Says:

    Rod, Rod, Rod what a prat you are.

  151. Citrus County Says:

    Rod, I said to look it up in your dictionary but that is a book and clearly you have very little familiarity with books. Books are where you find knowledge.

    Like I said your days of lying are over here. You can continue to post but as multiple people have indicated you have zero credibility on this blog anymore. You will be called out for YEARS to come

    Between being wrong on the record , Baker and even Bowles and your driveling nonsense fool’s insistence NFl teams don’t need running backs anymore

    Everyone now knows you are moron 🙂 🙂 .

    Its been a FUN day.

    @David
    If he wins next weekend will you be an idiot?
    Bc if he wins two weeks in a row and makes it to thr NFCCG you are literally an idiot if you continue to rail against someone who would be 3-1 in the playoffs. You realize that?

    I never said Baker had a bad game. I said he had a good game against a trash team.
    All you trash Baker fan will cry next week and make the excuses for his poor journeyman plays next week when he is back to his trash mode if we get blown out.

    Davey, you are beyond absurd. Go back to watching fires and stay away from playgrounds.

    hard to argue with this years results

  157. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Had to be up early fro work today so haven’t seen the game yet. Will throw it on when I get home.
    Mrs Buccaneer is a long-suffering Lions fan, so next Sunday is going to be a tense one. LFG!

  158. 1sparkybuc Says:

    The Giants beat them last week. Keep things in perspective. This was not the same team that kicked our butts earlier. The Lions are not decimated. Beat them in their den, and I’ll be impressed. January 19th 2003 will always be the epitome for me. The Fleagles were at full strength, no excuses, and the Bucs tore their heart out. I live in Fleagle territory. They still groan when Ronde Barber’s name is mentioned. They can accept this loss. They’ll never get over 2003.

    And i made 1499 on two cards….45 total bet…..love it!

  160. DavidBigBucsFan99 Says:

    Better than the Packer game! From watching his warm up throws I could see he was good to go. Couldn’t believe that Carnales began game with 3 straight and didn’t let up. Called a terrific game. That was the most effective blitzing I’ve ever seen. Bowles had the team ready even special teams was special. Glorious win!

  161. BucU Says:

    Yes!!!! The Cinderella Story continues!!!
    Wow!!

  162. Grant Says:

    Here was the defining moment for me. Bucs up 25-9. Somewhere between 5 and 6 minutes left. Bucs have the ball in their own end of the field. Usually would try run run run punt to use up clock. Not this time, empty backfield on first down. Completed pass. Maybe trajectory permanently changed. Go Bucs.

  163. Marky Mark Says:

    Baker is 2-1 in playoffs. Would have beaten the Chiefs if not for a missed helmet targeting call. Baker plays great on the road against NFC North teams. He also playz better when he sees a team again. The last TD was picking up the blitz. Something Hurts could not do..

  164. Canabuc Says:

    Was a great statement win! Both sides ( minus some ugly drops by Evans and Otton who was otherwise great) played amazing.

    While admittedly I wanted Trask at the beginning of the season because he was young and an unknown who could be our franchise QB, I am a fan and still rooted for Baker and team success.

    Obelisk this season he has been up and down but usually clutch when it counts the most. Other than a few times yesterday when he had an easy checkdown but held it too long and took sacks on 3rd down knocking us out of field goal range I thought he looked great.

    I know before have time that if he was healthy enough to have velocity on his throws and if his ankle wouldn’t hinder his mobility that we would win.

    3 of our 5 last game we have played the kind of football that a real contender can play. I am hoping that Canales is hiring his stride in knowing what works and what doesn’t and more importantly how to rapidly adjust on the fly. This was a criticism early on this year where he didn’t change his gameplan early enough.

    The defense with Kancey and Diaby looked fast and aggressive. Zyon laid the would and knocked 2 players out of the game. ( Call me a Zyonist but I think he will be a very good one). And we seemed to be playing more mean coverage which is nice because we are too soft on zone.

    I am not sure why we weren’t doubling Smith more given he was clearly their only real weapon last night.

    Lions game will be interesting. I think we have the offense to hang with them. Will be on the defense to contain Laporta and Amon Ra.

    Baker has shown enough to tell me they should offer him a3 year deal worth 70-75 million and 30 million guaranteed. He might get more on the market but I think he would take it out of loyalty when we have him a chance and his culture fit here.
    Go Bucs!

    Great win, Bucs! Although I wasn’t able to watch it, I listened to some on SiriusXM. Sounded like a great team win.
