Five Things

November 24th, 2025

Head coach Todd Bowles barks at a referee in the Bucs’ embarrassing loss to the Rams on Sunday night.

This is a depressing one so you will likely need more than one cup of the real stuff to get you going this morning. Black, of course.

This Team Could Be On Verge Of A Collapse

There was very little Joe liked when it came to the Bucs’ play Sunday night. They clearly were not ready to play. Defensively, they seemed shocked not only at what Sean McVay threw at them, but how Matt Stafford threw the ball.

It was like these guys never saw Stafford before. The Rams played with a team speed, quickness and with a purpose that totally caught the Bucs by surprise.

How could they be surprised? But that’s what they looked like.

Joe knows McVay usually coaches rings around Todd Bowles. But man, that game was all but over in the first quarter. It looked sort of like how Notre Dame was up 21-0 in the first quarter against Syracuse before Notre Dame snapped the ball once on offense.

The game was over when Bowles panicked and tried to convert a fourth down from the Bucs-28 late in the second quarter. Huh?

But it just shocked Joe how stunned and surprised the unprepared Bucs were. Stafford looked like he was in a seven-on-seven league.

This Is Just A Bad Team

It pains Joe to type the following, but we have to start being real. Since the bye, the Bucs are not a playoff team. They aren’t even a good team. They look like some of the rotten Bucs teams that former Bucs commander Greg Schiano had, lousy Lovie Smith had and Mike Smith was responsible for.

Hell, even last year when the Bucs had injuries pile up, they didn’t get blown out like they have the past three games. Sure, Baltimore beat the Bucs up pretty good. But that same injured Bucs team took Kansas City to overtime and San Francisco needed a last-second field goal to win.

This Bucs team? They’re getting seal-clubbed week after week. Good teams don’t regularly get seal-clubbed. The Bucs played three real Super Bowl contenders the past three weeks and got their arses handed to them each week.

That’s what happens to bad teams.

Does Todd Bowles Have An Answer?

It sure doesn’t seem like Bowles has any sort of an answer to fixing this defense. In the past three games, all since the bye, the defense has allowed 1,182 total yards, or an average of 384 yards a game.

That’s the kind of s(p)it you would see during the Lost Decade. Baker Mayfield hollers at these guys and the defense doesn’t change. Lavonte David hollers at these guys and the defense doesn’t change.

Has Bowles lost his defense? Has the defense tuned Bowles out?

When a coach has no answer to change the fortunes of his team and the same crap happens over and over and over, either that means you have no talent on one side of the ball or the message is too old and going in and out of players’ ears.

What Was Bowles Thinking?

Joe is hearing and typing this way too many times. What was Bowles thinking?

Just yesterday, the Cowboys, not a playoff team, were down by 20 to the defending Super Bowl champs. What happened? Dallas won! So teams do rally from down three touchdowns.

Apparently, Bowles has little faith in his offense. That stunt he pulled going for it on fourth down from the Bucs-28 with less than two minutes left doomed the game.

Three touchdowns to overcome is a lot, but it happens from time to time as Dallas proved yesterday. Get your defense to get a stop and then score points.

Talk about waving the white flag! Talk about giving up and surrendering. Like Joe’s good friend Mike Tanier wrote last week, it’s hard to take the Bucs seriously when their coach surrenders. Well, Bowles did it again last night. On national TV. Again.

The Baker Mayfield Injury

It was gutless of Bowles to keep Baker Mayfield in the game injured after Bowles elected to try to go for it from the Bucs-28 late in the first half. Joe can understand this call in the fourth quarter but with just under two minutes left in the half? Crazy.

Of course, Bowles left Mayfield, who already hurt his shoulder, in the lost cause and sure enough on the last play of the first half Mayfield got hurt.

Irresponsible!

Folks, this season is toast if Mayfield is out four or more games. The cavalry won’t return soon enough to save the Bucs, If Mayfield is out the next month, not only will the Bucs not be in the playoffs, but the Bucs could be looking at a top-10 pick in the draft next spring.

Joe has a very, very, very bad vibe about this team, from the play on the field to the inability to coach guys up to team leaders not getting through to their teammates.

This team could go south very, very quickly.

Bonus: Joe has good luck in Los Angeles.

Joe has now been to Los Angeles three times for Bucs games. Two against the Rams, one against the Chargers, including covering a game at the historic Coliseum and two at SoFi Stadium (which is sandwiched between the historic Los Angeles Forum and the new Intuit Dome (where the Clippers play).

Joe last year told the story about how a total stranger helped Joe find his car. Well, Joe didn’t lose a car this time, but two of the Rams ‘ media relations staff sure helped Joe save a lot of time and walking.

After the game, Joe (and the only other two media members from the Tampa region who made the trip), were lost trying to find the Bucs’ locker room. These stadiums, especially newer ones, are massive. There’s seemingly an endless concourse in the bowels of the stadiums.

Only once has Joe ever had someone escort Joe to the Bucs’ locker room. The vast majority of the time home team staff are rent-a-cops and they largely have zero clue where locker rooms are. You ask where a locker room is and the response is often a blank stare as if you asked where they were hiding a UFO wreckage.

So what Joe does is about every 10 yards asks a staffer where the Bucs’ locker room is. Eventually, by accident, you will find it.

And finding an elevator back to the press box is the exact same hassle, only in reverse.

Last night Joe asked someone about the elevator. Joe was hoping not to have to walk to the other side of SoFi Stadium. A woman by the name of “Kalyn” told Joe to follow her. Turns out she works in the Rams’ media relations office. She knew what she was doing. She knew where she was going and she too was headed back to the press box.

Thank you, Kalyn.

Then, after Joe had filed five stories, time to pack up and find an Uber back to the hotel. So Joe asked the Rams’ media relations people where to find the best place to catch an Uber. A guy tells Joe where to go and then he says, “You know what? I’ll take you there.” He brings Joe to a golf cart and drives Joe to a 7-11 right across the street from one of the massive parking lots at SoFi.

Turns out this man was Artis Twyman, the Rams’ vice president of communications. How cool was that? A Rams suit offered to help out an out-of-town reporter.

Joe’s day began with kindness, too. Joe’s hotel had a shuttle to the stadium and back for $25 round trip, half the cost of an Uber round trip. Joe confirmed they were able to pick up Joe late. After Joe paid, not only did they overcharge Joe by $115, the charge tripped the fraud protection on Joe’s card, suspending it. The shuttle owner then found out the Rams wouldn’t let him in the parking lots at a late hour for a pickup.

They felt so bad that they both overcharged Joe, locking up his card and being unable to pick Joe up, they gave Joe a free ride to the stadium.

So Joe had three pieces of unexpected kindness Sunday in Los Angeles. Thanks to all three for their help!

    Joe, the Bills aren’t a superbowl team. They only looked like one against us.

  2. Jerseybuc Says:

    Bowels absolutely blows n I been saying this for a few years now. This better be it for him

  3. DungyDance Says:

    Our defense was laugh-out-loud bad last night. Which we were literally doing.

    In a pathetic way, Bridgewater coming in was a positive. It allowed the Rams to give us the benefit of the mercy rule. It’s probably the only reason they didn’t hang a 50-burger on us.

  4. BucfaninMi Says:

    Bottom line, Todd was handed a superbowl caliber team and turned them into a crap team

  5. HC Grover Says:

    And Blooper Bilgewater is now the Bucs QB. Those bloopers he threw last night were just amazing. The sideline stiff has finally got his man in there. Will the Bucbaggers be back soon with head bags at RayJay?

  6. Joe in Michigan Says:

    I didn’t watch the game, had to be up early for work and had zero faith in Bowles defense against McVay’s offense. Were there any “Anthony Nelson in coverage” moments?

  7. Eric Says:

    There was no coverage the whole game. The Rans were wide open and there was no pass rush.

  8. heyjude Says:

    So glad you found moments of kindness, Joe. You keep finding the right people. Or they find you. Fate. Excellent overview. Hard game to watch. Hope Baker is okay.

    HC – Bridgewater really hasn’t played and he was on the DNP for personal reasons. Unsure how much he has practiced either. We do need a young QB out of the draft. Someone that Baker can mentor.

    I am off all week with a lot of baking, turning on Christmas movies for some positive vibe. Afraid to watch the Panther game now, lol.

  9. Jeff and Jack's grandpa Says:

    Well I get why Joe don’t like walking

  10. Oxycondomns Says:

    not to long ago if you tried to say anything but bowles or bucs were bad you were labeled as negative.

  11. FortMyersDave Says:

    I think the defense has checked out on Bowles. He is running a scheme where they do not have the talent to succeed but probably can manage in a scheme that is not so “exotic” but Bowles keeps dialing the same garbage up, they are responding by tuning him out. The offense is in no man’s land as Grizzard simply is missing too many parts. The injuries have been too much. What I fear is if the Bucs do a Sam Wyche and go from 6 dash 2 to 7 dash 10, the Glazers will still give Bowles a pass because of the injuries. Every year the Bucs fall apart mid-season, this year it is worse, last year they lost close games in the streak, this year they are getting boat-raced. Fire Bowles!

  12. Bucs Reality Check Says:

    Todd Bowles seems like a nice guy but it’s time for him to go.

    The Bucs need to bring in up and coming young talent to be the new head coach which is happening around the league. The Bucs really blew it not finding a way to promote Coen to head coach and be set for the next 10+ years.

    We need to bring in new Coordinators and rebuild the entire coaching staff.

    Bucs probably need to go back to a 4-3 and start over on Defense.

  13. Jameis Says:

    Watching the Bucs is a waste of time at this point. They are hopeless. What a sad showing. Glad I was smart enough to shut it off. I have less belief in this team than others with far less talent. No heart no shows.

  14. heyjude Says:

    Jameis – Watching the Bucs is not a waste of time. Look at the league standings for other teams. Do their fans turn them off? They don’t. They keep watching and wishing. We could win the next two games and go on from there. You never know.

  15. Chuckys Bucs Says:

    Add a BONUS: THIS ORGANIZATION WILL BE HAUNTED FOR YEARS WHEN IT CHOSE BOWLES OVER LIAM.

    how do you fire Bowles a season after letting go Liam Coen? You simply can’t. And now we are stuck.

  16. ukester Says:

    all you have to do is look who fills the stands at home-All the opponents no wonder why they make you pay ahead of time for next year.

  17. Darin Says:

    That’s not luck Joe. That’s kindness. It happens a lot in other cities, not so much in Tampa

  18. BucU Says:

    I’ll be looking forward to all the Bowles apologists trying to come up with something to defend our extraordinary coach today. He should be fired right the F now. He’s the absolute worst and this team has quit on him. FIRE HIS AZZ TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. BucU Says:

    “”Jameis – Watching the Bucs is not a waste of time.””

    I hope you were high or drunk when u wrote that drivel.

  20. BucfaninMi Says:

    Move the team to London and call them the Sillynannies. That’s how they play!

  21. Ballwasher61 Says:

    Joe you’ve said it and I’ve echoed it over the weeks: Where is the pride? Where is the fire? Detroit and the Rams came out like they were pissed the Bucs were mentioned in the same breath and couldn’t wait to expose them as soft and that’s exactly what they both did. So did Buffalo and NE. Character means something but fire in belly does too, talk is cheep and the Bucs need to STFU and just play. No more mouth wash. I’ve defended Bowles and still say the play will always be on the players but this is the 3rd year with a mid season slump, that just can’t happen. Combined with the stupid no go on 4th down against Buffalo and then leaving your starting QB in after he was hurt was just stupid. He probably listened to Baker but he should have over ruled him. TB is not the backup we need. Grizz needs to stop throwing those f*$#@*&^% bubble screens and get past the line. We started out running the ball well and then what? Bowles shouldn’t be fired mid season, that is a huge white flag when there is still a season to win and they can but not by being soft and THEN talking about it. Licht needs to take a hard look at this team cause they look soft. Grizz talked about being a tougher team, well then call the damn plays to prove it. Defense? Pfft. Your defense needs to be a priorirty and NOW Jason.

  22. Ballwasher61 Says:

    Who wants to watch your team get handled like that? Purley a personal choice and I for one couldn’t watch them come out again and embarrass themselves and us. Like I have said I keep 3 remotes, 2 for throwing and 1 that works the TV, get the point? And yes I continue to watch them but after a while the shart show gets to be too much. Don’t call someone a fair weather fan because they can’t watch the crap anymore.

  23. LVMYBUCS Says:

    Never should have been given the keys in the first place.

  24. BillMFl Says:

    Never did this before. I turned off my TV when the first half was over. Never saw this team look so inept since the Creamsicle era. Sad collapse across the board. The coach has lost his team. Time for a change. NOW!

  25. purplebeard Says:

    5 things? I can only think of 1: Todd bowles!

  26. Texas Bucs Fan Says:

    Baker is not the problem. Head coach & OC should be fired. They are pathetic.

  27. Scott Says:

    Hard to watch this team knowing the my resigned Bowles. It’s the same thing over and over.

  28. Davenport Says:

    Finally,Joe,Thank you!

    I’ve been pounding on this for almost 4 full seasons. Bowles was a career loser with the Jets and has been one here — the weak division were in disguised the truth about how bad he is.

    Guys need to get their head around the fact that Carolina – Carolina! – could win the division.

    I am OK with that if it means Bowles is fired because I fear that a division win, as pathetic as it is, could save him again.

  29. gotbbucs Says:

    Even the Rams offensive.players became disinterested in the game last night. Thats how bad the Bucs D is right now. You could see how mad McVay was getting on the sidelines. He wanted to killi is, and his players let up.

  30. Jehzsa Says:

    Can’t wait for today’s presser where Coach Bowles will say, “[W]e have to get better!”.

    Words of wisdom…

  31. Bucs33Saints14! Says:

    Indeed, that game was over after 1Q. I sure got sick of hearing about the “fantastic, slow developing stunts” the Rams D-line was putting on us. It looked like someone pizzed off the killer bees. Someone (HC, OC LC) should of had some adjustment for it.
    I switched to an excellent western and thumbed back to the game — thankfully usually landed on yet another commercial and thumbed back.
    Hopefully (ya dumb homer), this is just another mid-season slump and we can handle most of the last 6 games. But then what in the play-offs?
    Go 49ers (tonight only). Go Bucs!

  32. Todd Says:

    Glazers need to be ready to spend the go away Millions to show Todd the door as this team has no want to. Glazers better take a hard look at Licht as well as he bears a great deal of responsibility for the current train wreck that we call the Bucs.

  33. JA Says:

    A plethora of Quisling’s on this website.
    Bowles is your hero when the Bucs are winning, despite the opponent, but you stab him in the back when the losses mount up.
    At least I’ve been consistent. I loathed the hire from Day 1.
    Bowles never was, nor will he ever be, an elite head coach. There are too many times when he looks lost out there, and many more when he is out-coached.
    I also thought we should go defense in Round 1 this year, but Egbuka shut me up … for a time. What say you now?
    Lastly, love him or hate him, the way Bowles stabbed Trask in the back, and replaced him with a guy who was out of football for a year or two, was a low blow. He never even gave him an opportunity to show anything, constantly leaving his starter in during blowouts rather than give Trask some much needed playing time.
    Bowles made it personal, something a head coach should never do.
    And the team took notice. Even Baker said it sucked.
    Now Trask’s career is essentially over without ever being given a chance to play. For those who hate him, far worse QB’s have at least been given a shot. See Cleveland.
    Finally, Bowles should have his own, weekly ESPN segment … WHAT WAS HE THINKING?
    According to this poster, not much!

  34. Ricardo Says:

    Completely out on Bowels, done with Zyon as CB1, done with Dennis as LB2, done with Hall, Reddick, Kancey. This defense needs a complete overhaul starting with Bowels.

    You got Vita, Tykee, Parish, Winfield. Build around that.

    So long LVD. Thanks for the effort and leadership. Hope to see you in the Hall some day.

  35. Bobby M. Says:

    Bowles scheme is flawed and ineffective when the offense can’t get ahead or at least consistently put together scoring drives. He’s forever out coached when facing teams with winning records. Anyone watching the Bucs for the past 6-7 years has seen his defensive genius is nothing more than leveraging a top offense so he can blitz constantly. It worked with Brady the first two years because Brady could put up points and the defense was stacked. Take away the luxury of a pro bowl roster and Bowles defense looks absolutely lost unless facing sub .500 teams. I’ve said this for years, a true defensive mind would make life brutal for rookie and back up QBs…..we’ve witnessed for years the Bucs make those guys look top tier. It’s a joke.

  36. gotbbucs Says:

    In a messed up way, Bowles and his defense are lucky Coen isnt still the OC. There is no way the offense would be this putrid with Coen directing it, and all that would mean is another handful of possessions that the opposing offense would have to try. Does anyone believe that of the Rams couldn’t have put up 60 if the game had dictated it?

    Look at the Bills game and its perspective now that its sandwiched between two of their loses, that is a team in a free fall offensively, and they scored at will against Bowles and Co.

    The longer Bowles keeps the defensive coordinator title for this team, the more he gets to use that as a crutch this offseason to save his own skin. He’ll be able to use that as a bargaining tool when it comes time for the excuse and what he can do differently moving forward.

  37. Defense Rules Says:

    FortMyersDave … ‘What I fear is if the Bucs do a Sam Wyche and go from 6 dash 2 to 7 dash 10, the Glazers will still give Bowles a pass because of the injuries.’

    No fear Dave, Todd Bowles & his entire coaching staff is gone. Jason Licht will survive, as he has the other coaching changes, but he may wish he hadn’t. Bucs have a massive rebuilding effort ahead.

  38. Durango 95 Says:

    Secure Coen 2025

    Remember that one?

    Heady days to be sure.

    Indifference 2026 ?

    The good news is no one will be writing that.

    The bad news is no one will be writing that.

    The Glazers are now on the clock.

  39. Blows sux Says:

    Its really bad when you’re a fan and you know well in advance that your team is going to get blown out even before the kickoff because you know the head coach has absolutely no clue what he is doing. It doesn’t take an expert to realize that the head coach is clueless. See ya bucs, ill check in next year but only if theres a new head coach with experince.

  40. mg Says:

    fire the coach, tank and trade up

  41. gotbbucs Says:

    Joe says, “Joe has a very, very, very bad vibe about this team, from the play on the field to the inability to coach guys up to team leaders not getting through to their teammates.

    This team could go south very, very quickly.”

    Youre very, very, very late to the party. Most of us have been seeing this for a few weeks. Most of us saw it after last season. Coen saw it too, which is why he jumped ship for a crappy job like the Jaguars.

  42. Jehzsa Says:

    The good news is that Coach Bowles has almost perfected the new and revolutionary defensive scheme — the Tampa Cover 0.

  43. BucEmUp Says:

    Let’s keep it real, the only reason Bowles hasn’t been fired is because hes a “minority” head coach whos won a few division titles and the owners are afraid it would be a bad PR move to fire him. In reality hes a mediocre coach at best thats been fortunate enough to coach a team in one of the worst divisions in football and been bailed out by baker a few times to start the year. Realistically this team would have 1 to 2 wins at best without baker. Based on performance alone there is no reason Bowles should have even a coordinator job at this point. This is pathetic from the ownership down.

  44. Guzzie55 Says:

    I’m glad Licht didn’t give Baker a $50m per year extension after his MVP start, which I always felt was fool’s gold, good teams don’t need last second drives against bottom feeders, it happens sure, but not every week, Baker has hit his ceiling which is average at best, he will never sniff Stafford level

  45. ChiBuc Says:

    And “ring of honor GM,” stares into space as Rome burns. Please name 1 draft pick of his, other than Tykee, who played with any heart last night. Characters flawed

  46. ChiBuc Says:

    AWJ is a joke. He looks like a lil pudgy toddler out there who cannot bring a guy to the ground. The OL is mid at best. Love E², but he has alligator arms, Morrison is damaged goods, Bucky is fragile on many levels, TEs are subpar. LB and DL has no depth in ranks or spirit….

  47. Daniel Z Says:

    I’m really glad everyone is finally coming around on Bowles’ inability to lead this team to anything beyond an NFC South title. Unfortunately, it’s a year late as the obvious replacement left to Duvaaaaaal last off-season.

    With the extension of Bowles, I unfortunately think the Glazers will give him at least one more season. Additionally, there aren’t a lot of top-notch HC candidates out there like there were last year (Vrabel and Ben Johnson, for example), so who makes this team better from the sidelines?

  48. vadertime Says:

    Fire Bowles!!!

  49. ModHairKen Says:

    Every aspect of the team will need to be considered. Including the Head Coach.

    If they miss the playoffs, then perhaps it is finally time to move on from the Arians Era.

    And don’t just cut out that bad parts, remove the entire diseased organ.

    Name a single starter on Defense who has played well this year?

    No favored sons. Winfield is no longer an elite S. Vea is being wasted. Send him to a contender. Everyone else is fungible.

    On Offense, keep Mayfield, Evans, Irving, Barton, Goedeke, Godwin, Mauch, Wirfs, Tucker and Tez and McMillan.

    Everyone else is a sad example of prideless paycheck hustlers.

  50. Marky mark Says:

    I have had enough of otten dropping balls and getting balls ripper from him. He lost the game. Cut him.

  51. 813bucboi Says:

    FortMyersDave Says:
    November 24th, 2025 at 5:57 am
    I think the defense has checked out on Bowles.

    BINGO!!!!

    only way bowles survives is if he tell everyone his scheme is outdated and he’s bringing in a 43 DC next year

    other than that, he gone lol

    GO BUCS!!!!

  52. Dan the Bucs Fan Says:

    We had a chance to win in the 4th quarter the last two weeks. A east coast team went to West Coast got blown out wow you don’t say it only happens almost every week.

    We regroup we get Bucky back we go beat Cardinals at home next week! Get healthy and see what we do in playoffs. We are going win the NFC South then judge us by what we do in playoffs

  53. OrlandoBucFan Says:

    Last night’s game was a prime example of clashing organizational philosophies. The Bucs are a conservative organization that does not take risks. With the exception of the Arians and the Brady era, the Bucs simply do not make bold moves, either in the draft, free agency, or in-season trades.

    The Rams, on the other hand, are in it to win it every year. Take the Stafford trade. That took balls! Goff wasn’t bad, but the Rams wanted more. This year is another good example. They needed a WR, so they went out and signed Devante Adams. It seems that every year the Rams sign an impact free agent, and they’ve been hitting pay dirt on their draft pick too. With Sean McVay as coach, they are going to be a contender almost every year.

    The Glazers can learn a lot from the Rams. They may want to start with a new coach.

  54. It's Corn Says:

    overreaction Monday

  55. Paratrooper Buc Says:

    With the injuries and bad coaching we are not a good team.

    Wirfs surgery and delayed start.
    McMillan injured in pre season ( might return).
    Godwin delayed start then injury.
    Goedecke injury.
    Mauch injury out for season.
    Kancey injury (might return).
    Evans hamstring then collarbone injury (might return).
    Bucky injury (might return Sunday).
    Reddick injury (who knows).
    Baker injury ( might return).
    Almost forgot Dean is Dean and Morrison is essentially a worse version of Dean.

    Season has been cursed.I feel when Evans went down the team lost its mojo.

    We need a change. I think Bowles needs to be replaced. Medical staff and conditioning need a look at and Grizzard I feel lost too many players and it’s hard to judge him but I wouldn’t cry if a more experienced and successful OC came along. If Bowles is back we will at BEST just have a repeat of last three seasons and at WORST, this very LIKELY bad and losing season

  56. johnnythemoon Says:

    Bucs had chances to go up in the 4th qtr vs the Bills and Pats.

  57. Deeboooo Says:

    Zyon looked scared matching up against Adams. I’m hoping he was still sick and that’s why he wasn’t playing 100%. But man why tf don’t you take the PI call on the fade to Adams in the endzone?maybe he was burnt so bad he could get there?? Push him out, make them do it again.

  58. Buckit Says:

    The “Otten” is a try hard type player, but I believe he may be the most physically abused player in the league.

  59. dumboldguy Says:

    I think the only positive aspect of Bowles being head coach is slipping away. He was always regarded as a leader who got his team to play for him.

    I think he lost the locker room after this game last night. Nobody looked like they wanted to be there.

  60. Les Says:

    BOWLES AND JASON LIGHT BUILT THIS DEFENCE AND IT STINKS .THEY OWN THIS CRAP SHOW ! THERE PLAYERS THAT THEY DRAFTED ! TIME TO END THIS GROUND HOG DAY SENARIO ! GLAZERS ,DO YOUR JOB .YOUR FATHER SOLD THE STORE TO GET A WINNER ! YOU THINK HE WOULD PUT UP WITH THIS ?,NO YOU SHOULD NOT EITHER . MOVE ON IF YOU REALLY CAR E ABOUT THE FANS ! OR ARE YOU OK WITH THIS AS LONG AS THETE ARE BUTTS UN THE SEATS ? OH NO ! NOT ANOTHER CULVERHOUSE ! SHOW YOU WANT A WINNER AND CLEAN HOUSE !

    BRING BACK TRASK NOW
    ^^^^^^^^^^

    JTS was better than PST (Practice Squad Trask). That’s not saying much, though.

  63. Saskbucs Says:

    I have no problem with going on 4th and 2 in the first half. Bucs D weren’t stopping them anyway.

    I have a huge issue with taking the ball to start again. Also have a huge issue with the 4th and 2 playcall. Where the read option? Where’s the Wirfs pull or some play action!? Empty set give me a break.

    These coaches say they watch everything. Bologna. If they did they would see creativity and 3rd/4th and short situations being turned into chunk gains.

    Bowles remains terrible. Been saying it for 4 years. How it’s taken this long for some of you to realize is beyond me. He has been holding this team back. Yeah some of his replacement options would have been worse but some would have been much better.

  64. ocala Says:

    Bowles needs to go. This should not be a difficult decision. The Bucs blew it last year letting the best OC in football leave.

  65. Tom R Says:

    I think the defense is tired of playing absurd schemes and out of position. Bowels does not use his players strengths.

  66. Anyhony Says:

    Go figure, all that kindness in a Blue city in a Blue state. SEND IN THE TROOPS!!!!

  67. ChiBuc Says:

    If they were ICE, you would have gotten pepper-balled in the face. They don’t like media folk
