Are the Glazers really aware of how much disdain the fan base has for Todd Bowles???
Moreover, do they even care???
Do they really expect to win another SB with him as the HC\DC???
Are they really trying to sell people on another season of being mediocre??
@Joe can you answer any of these questions????

Obviously Team Glazer is aware. Joe is guessing Team Glazer likes Todd Bowles’ management style and demenaor and approach to working with others within the walls of One Buc Palace.

I see. So steady as she goes with the Swiss cheese defense. Got it.
Sure do miss the days when winning the SB was the ultimate goal.
Now it’s just fail upwards, make excuses, storm out, declare victory.
We have reached the winter of our discontent.

Me and old Junebug cutting grass and eating fresh tomatoes and enjoying our favorite podcast. Wish I had some peach pie. The Sage of Tampa fancies our team more likely to go 6-11 than 12-5? Maybe the hat he’s wearing boogie boarding isn’t stopping the sun from frying his brain. Even with last year’s defense, and special teams, and extremely wounded offense, we still were close. The defense is deeper and better. Special teams got better. Offense is healthy. And the best that the 2 most optimistic of you guys predict is 1 more win than last year? And as far as the dude getting tased and not being fazed, I think Bain would be that kind of guy. Hopefully gives the defense the good ole attitude adjustment. Everyone enjoy the 4th, I hope everyone who wants a good tomato sandwich or piece of peach pie, can have one. Summer is here, football is getting close, and our favorite team is loaded. No IF’S about it.

The trajectory will continue
The big quit is institutional

The Over/Under, depending upon the site, is creeping up.
It was 7.5 to 8.5, and now you can find 8.5 to 9.5.
6-11 does sound like a hear injury talking.
