What a dumb slogan.
I am the man
Todd Bowles is the man with one of the worst defenses in the NFL
Jason Licht is the man who has not done crap w/out Brady
Jamal Dean is the man that plays 15 yards of the ball on 3rd and 3
SirVocci Dennis is the man that gets all his tackles 12 yards down the field
Cade Otten is the man that catches the ball and falls one yard short of the first down

What this team needs is an IDENTITY.
You can name some teams. Big and fast. Nasty. Circus tent offense.
Remember the Detroit game? They are known for physical play, so much so that their opponents seem to underperform and lose players for two or three weeks following. And the Bucs? They cratered after the Lions. No coincidence there.
The Bucs reputation ought to be centered on Vita Vea and a fierce interior defense. You need that to support the smaller safeties that Bowles prefers. But when you have no inside linebackers and only one fearsome lineman that kind of defense cannot work.

Still Dumb
5-12 incoming
Todd Bowles gets an extension since the players attend church regularly and visit sick kids in the hospital.
Is it possible Todd Bowles is a make a wish kid?
Gets to coach an NFL team forever.
