Buccaneers-Jaguars, Open Thread
August 28th, 2026
The worthless preseason finale is here, a showcase for the bottom of each team rosters and special memories for many future high school football coaches, tire salesmen, law students and water deliver drivers.
Comment all game long below. Please play nice.
Go Bucs!
The Bucs will cut from 90 to 53 players by Sunday at 6 p.m.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:11 pm
This nonsense of cutting or trading Sean Tucker is ridiculous.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:12 pm
Go Bucs…..Just make it through the game without any major injuries.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:20 pm
How many TD drives will Daniels lead tonight?
I’m going with 2 TDs, 2 FGs and a QB2 job when it’s over.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:26 pm
Cut to the Baker Boi(s), praying to their Lord and Savior (Baker Mayfield) that Daniels looks bad tonight.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:30 pm
Hey guys, since the people in the game tonight will all together play about 40 snaps all year we aren’t going to overreact to this game, good or bad. Right???
LOL just kidding. I know we will.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:30 pm
Here we go
August 28th, 2026 at 7:30 pm
I want to see if Bucs play better than the practice notes Joe wrote indicating they were struggling at times.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:31 pm
Stuck watching the Jaguars TV broadcast. Ugh.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:31 pm
Rod it’s still preseason ,, Joe F on the ravens having another stellar night , a few drives) 11-14 115 yards and TD ,, this guy looks like an NFL QB but it is preseason, perhaps Lamar should be nervous 😉
August 28th, 2026 at 7:32 pm
Let’s see a little offense tonight. Jalon Daniels reported to be in QB2 spot by Ronde

You don’t have to listen to Chris Meyers.
I envy you.
Actually I just broke out the radio for the Bucs broadcast – last time it was actually in sync with the streaming broadcast. This time on cable, so I’ll see how it goes. But with Meyers on the broadcast, I spend most of the game with the audio muted.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:33 pm
Rondae is saying the QB #2 battle is over before the game even started. Says it’s Daniels
August 28th, 2026 at 7:33 pm
LMFG!!!!
August 28th, 2026 at 7:34 pm
The Jags play by play guy talks by yelling.

Liam lost a little weight, now he looks like a hairless bald bat or a giant ostrich hatchling.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:36 pm
Let’s move the ball tonight and show a little confidence on offense. Not too worried about the D with no starters.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:38 pm
Sean tucker
August 28th, 2026 at 7:39 pm
Let’s get it!

Giant ostrich hatching, I can’t unsee it now!

August 28th, 2026 at 7:39 pm
Kam Johnson got big as hell
August 28th, 2026 at 7:39 pm
That’s twice I’ve seen Daniels listed at 6’4”. Two games. Isn’t he 6’1”?
August 28th, 2026 at 7:40 pm
I knew Daniels would start
August 28th, 2026 at 7:41 pm
“Giant ostrich hatching, I can’t unsee it now!“
A hot topic shopping spree away from looking like a vampire elder, as if he’s been in Jacksonville since 1792.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:41 pm
Yea, hes 6’1. I saw that too. Last week they had him at 6’0
August 28th, 2026 at 7:42 pm
Wow, Daniels just did something Baker didn’t do all preseason… he threw the ball past the line of scrimmage.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:42 pm
OL gave Daniels 5 seconds of total protection, not bad.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:43 pm
We haven’t seen Kpeenu at RB yet, might see him tonight
August 28th, 2026 at 7:44 pm
Threw it to a spot where he wouldn’t get decapitated. Will they try to open it up at all? No screen pass….yet
August 28th, 2026 at 7:45 pm
That was a trip to the hospital for the WR unless Daniels put the ball where he did. Patterson could’ve had it.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:46 pm
Bucs are in 2025 mid-season form for covering passes out of the backfield.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:46 pm
OMG, I almost forgot about the game. Had date.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:46 pm
Garnes scouting reports said he can’t tackle, but he’s looked good so far this preseason tackling.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:47 pm
Ayden Garnes with a nice TFL!
August 28th, 2026 at 7:47 pm
Fun fact: Liam Coen is 0-2 as offensive play caller in playoff games, in fact home playoff games. Does this offensive guru get the yips when the pressure is up????
August 28th, 2026 at 7:47 pm
He’s obviously worked hard on it.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:48 pm
Way to get off the field
August 28th, 2026 at 7:48 pm
Garnes looked like someone tackling a giraffe, but it worked.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:48 pm
Who is our qb right now?
August 28th, 2026 at 7:48 pm
Run on 3rd and 7….ok
August 28th, 2026 at 7:49 pm
Garnes is a beast
August 28th, 2026 at 7:49 pm
Another year, bucs defense will give up the ghost again?
Todd Bowles just ain’t it, I know he supposed to be some sort of defensive guru, but man every year the defense blows – with no depth
August 28th, 2026 at 7:50 pm
No one follows the motion man on either of those big plays.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:50 pm
Garnes is sticky!
August 28th, 2026 at 7:51 pm
Why wouldn’t they kick a FG? Is the field in bad shape or something? Their kicker can easily make it from 58.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:51 pm
Nelly is making somebody his bih tonight
August 28th, 2026 at 7:51 pm
Nice!!! Nelly doing Nelly things
August 28th, 2026 at 7:52 pm
Coverage sack there, nice work.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:52 pm
“No one follows the motion man on either of those big plays.“
Zone baybee, looked like cover 3 but those safeties disappear out to the camera shot so fast Í can’t really tell.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:52 pm
Hard to tell from TV angles, but Mullins was looking B Mo’s way but didn’t pull the trigger on Nelly’s sack.
Could be a “nicely done”.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:52 pm
Behind the 5, expect a lot a runs. Would love to see a slant go all the way
August 28th, 2026 at 7:53 pm
Daniels has a lot of field to work with. Time to uncork one?
August 28th, 2026 at 7:53 pm
I hope our pass rush can bail us our this year.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:53 pm
Really like Daniels, we need to keep him and grow him. I feel like we stink at developing QBs though.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:53 pm
Rod Munch Says:

**********
Coen wants the punter to get work now since he doesn’t plan on using him much this season. Bowles would kick the FG.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:54 pm
Garnes tackles like he knows his job is dependent on him putting a hate on someone, but he goes about it like a baby that just learned to walk who’s mind is set on running. Like I see you, but take it easy fella
August 28th, 2026 at 7:55 pm
Rod, they know Little can kick from 58 out easily, perhaps they wanted to see their punter pin the Bucs down and he did.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:55 pm
Nice play to get out of the danger zone

Gotta love that Daniels hop pass
August 28th, 2026 at 7:55 pm
“Somebody didn’t get the memo!!“
Gonna get tossed out of 1Buc like Uncle Phil used to do Jazz 🤣
August 28th, 2026 at 7:56 pm
Garnes just keeps giving me reasons to stop worrying about CB depth.
And yeah, Coen has dropped 50 lbs working out with Tony Boselli apparently. By the looks of him that workout consists of smoking meth and staying out of the sun.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:56 pm
Amazing vision by Tucker, runs right into the back of his offensive lineman like he’s Michael Pittman in 2003.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:56 pm
Parker Washington sounds like the kind of kid that would’ve been stuffed in a locker in high school.
August 28th, 2026 at 7:57 pm
Coen on that Ozempic looking like Patrick PuterSchmidt Lois Griffin‘s crazy brother
August 28th, 2026 at 7:57 pm
This is why I hate out of town coverage. I don’t want to see this scrub!! Nice play Tez!!
August 28th, 2026 at 7:57 pm
The Jags ,well they look human imagine that! Didn’t they just win the SB, world series, Smyth trophy etc…During the week???
August 28th, 2026 at 7:57 pm
Where was the roughness call against the guy who blasted Tez after he was on the ground?
August 28th, 2026 at 7:58 pm
Rod
I was gonna say the same thing lol
August 28th, 2026 at 7:58 pm
Trade baker start daniels LOLLLLL jk 😏 maybe
August 28th, 2026 at 7:59 pm
So good to see a QB actually throw the ball 10 yards…for the Bucs
August 28th, 2026 at 7:59 pm
Never good to see the back of an OLmen jersey as the RB is being tackled behind him
August 28th, 2026 at 7:59 pm
Daniels would have a perfect night so far except for two drops from WRs.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:00 pm
This announcer is struggling with the names tonight.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:00 pm
Ugh. The ball was where it needed to be twice in both times the receivers came up empty-handed.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:00 pm
Gotta catch that Kam
August 28th, 2026 at 8:00 pm
Tez sold….smh
August 28th, 2026 at 8:01 pm
I think it was an overgrown blade of grass and a light wind gust that got Tez
August 28th, 2026 at 8:01 pm
Two straight solid punts from Dixon. He looks a little better than last year.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:01 pm
Bee, that was Kameron Johnson not Tez!
August 28th, 2026 at 8:02 pm
Come on Kam, I really want to like you but that was rough.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:02 pm
Daniels is dealing but the WRs got crisco on their hands
August 28th, 2026 at 8:02 pm
THurst not playing tonight. Must be starting Week 1.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:02 pm
Receivers gotta get it together
August 28th, 2026 at 8:02 pm
So they started Daniels? Have they mentioned the status of Browning?
Daniels is actually doing decent from the few minutes I’ve seen.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:02 pm
JMAC
ohhhhh mi malo

Yep. He did zero pre-game work on the names and numbers and it shows.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:03 pm
drops are part of the game, buccaneer receivers had 20 last season, led the league in drops actually, oh and bee i’ve seen baker throw more than 10 yards plenty of times, he does it against starters not 2nd and 3rd stringers
August 28th, 2026 at 8:04 pm
Daniels went thru his progressions. Good ball placement. Imagine him behind Wirfs throwing to Godwin
August 28th, 2026 at 8:04 pm
Well, it’s the end of the first quarter and the QB all the clowns here think should be the starter has accounted for zero points. And I might add playing against the third and fourth string defenders.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:05 pm
Killebrew channeling his old man version of John Lynch there.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:06 pm
Yeah…not bad. All the passes haven’t been a high degree of difficulty, however.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:06 pm
UDFA Joe F killing is for the Ravens ,, has over 500 passing yards this preseason so far ,,, Lamar better watch out people cause this UDFA killing it (sound familiar) BTW Ravems up 31-0
August 28th, 2026 at 8:06 pm
Bro!! Baker’s not playing tonight. You don’t have to defend him He’s gonna start the first few games!!! LOL!!!
August 28th, 2026 at 8:08 pm
Smart rush by Roberts. Kept coming with active hands and forced an incomplete.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:10 pm
Roberts had him on skates
August 28th, 2026 at 8:10 pm
Hurst not playing means there’s some possibility Egbuka may not be ready by week 1. Hope I’m wrong and they are just satisfied with his camp and rested him. Really hoping to hear Egbuka is back at practice sometime next week!
August 28th, 2026 at 8:13 pm
I really don’t like the playcalling.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:13 pm
A lot of 4th downs…

Turf toe is no joke. Guys come back too soon from a minor tear and it turns into a years long issue. Better to keep him off if there’s any chance he could aggravate it.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:14 pm
Special teams not so special again.hope their better than last year.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:14 pm
The commentary sucks
August 28th, 2026 at 8:14 pm
Daniels 60 minute pace for almost receptions… 12…Almost interceptions 6
August 28th, 2026 at 8:15 pm
And….Daniel’s coming back to earth!
August 28th, 2026 at 8:15 pm
Receivers selling hard tonight 😒
August 28th, 2026 at 8:15 pm
I don’t think Tez ran that route correctly. I’m pretty sure he should have cut much sharper and got to the ball earlier. Still needs to work on his technical route running.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:15 pm
This local broadcast is awful. This split screen showing their GM while the actual play is a thumbnail sized box.. Can we please watch the damn plays.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:16 pm
They dont wanna see a black qb in tampa that want vanillia browning smh catch the ball

August 28th, 2026 at 8:18 pm
Is Bowles on the cut list? Four OC’s in four years only one he gets along with in Licht he stabs everyone else in the back. It’s not my fault!!!!!
August 28th, 2026 at 8:19 pm
JD to the practice squad ,, we need a real back up QB,,, Wentz may be available or Cooper Rush
August 28th, 2026 at 8:19 pm
The Jags GM looks like he’s 19 years old.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:19 pm
3 rd stringers are in on defense I see.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:20 pm
Bowles told the recievers to drop the passes,so .a
Mayfield stays confident!
August 28th, 2026 at 8:21 pm
The Jags GM sounds like a cross between Mr Rogers and a hostage negotiator.

Wentz is pretty firmly a QB2. You really want Cooper Rush? Did you see him last year?
August 28th, 2026 at 8:22 pm
Our special teams doing great giving up a 61 and 69 yard field goals
August 28th, 2026 at 8:22 pm
NEWS FLASH! Im watching ” practice practice “
August 28th, 2026 at 8:23 pm
The commentators are happy AF for their little field goal they made
August 28th, 2026 at 8:23 pm
Election campaign commercials start too freaking soon.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:23 pm
Now let’s see if the WRs can stop selling and catch the ball
August 28th, 2026 at 8:24 pm
Little early for these alpha channel interviews, get it off!
August 28th, 2026 at 8:24 pm
Cooper Rush! Im better then him! WTF!
August 28th, 2026 at 8:24 pm
Abolish all political and big phama ads
August 28th, 2026 at 8:24 pm
Yea, louisfriends. There is,a better chance to have a black governor than a black quarterback in Florida. Can somebody ring up Donnie Frump to endorse Daniels? Can somebody explain why the kickers,are better? Leg weight training? Steroids? Aerodynamics training? AI analysis of foot to ball placement?

The Baker Boi(s) all upset it was turned over to an incomplete pass.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:28 pm
Very bad 2nd down throw from Daniels. Periods of inaccuracy is one of the knocks on him.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:28 pm
Regardless play to the whistle!

August 28th, 2026 at 8:31 pm
The throw was way behind Tez , don’t blame Tez!!! JD can run the scout team for sure ,,, let’s face it we do not have a real back up ,,,,, again
August 28th, 2026 at 8:31 pm
Daniels looks like a pretty good backup qb to me. Needs to keep working on his mechanics. I haven’t seen him throw anything deep yet- I hope they try at least one. I’ll bet he looks even better with better technical route runners like Egbuka.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:33 pm
Now there are 4th stringers playing, and the refs will now take over the game.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:33 pm
#96 got washed out and Jags sprung a leak
August 28th, 2026 at 8:33 pm
If Daniels makes the team The Daniels doods led by Munchy will be cheering for Baker to run more, take on tackler s and get hurt.. I think the German word for that is schadenfreude.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:33 pm
Let’s go defense. Might need you to score some points

Another good tackle by Garnes. Not sure if he learned to tackle in camp or if the scouting reports were all wrong.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:39 pm
The center snapped before Daniels expected it. Miscommunication there.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:39 pm
How you like that Munch, your new fanboy fantasy can’t take a snap under Center, and no one even bumped him like the infamous Mayfield playoff fumble that you bring up every week.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:39 pm
Bucs D playing pretty hard tonight
August 28th, 2026 at 8:39 pm

Crashing back to earth. Welcome to the NFL Daniels,im staying with Mayfield..
.Sorry..
August 28th, 2026 at 8:40 pm

August 28th, 2026 at 8:40 pm
Tick tick tick… the prince ain’t looking too swift, people need to get over it. This kid would get Bowles fired if he were to be #2 and had to take over due to injury. It was a feel-good story but it starts for real in 2 weeks
August 28th, 2026 at 8:40 pm
@ModHairKen – That was an early snap. Either the center or QB was on the wrong count.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:40 pm

August 28th, 2026 at 8:42 pm
Very nice. Yes the ball was behind the receiver, but you still have to make a play

That snap exchange could have been on the center.

August 28th, 2026 at 8:43 pm
Really nice run by Williams, showing vision that Tucker has never shown in his entire career.

August 28th, 2026 at 8:45 pm
I’m not too concerned by play calling – they keep things super basic in preseason and don’t show much. But at least we’re not just seeing screen, followed by screen, followed by screen.
Overall Daniels has looked pretty good – just been a victim of some awful drops on 3rd down, which have stopped drives.

True, I do remember saying on that one run vs Buffalo where I saw Tucker make a cutback, it was literally the first time I ever remember him doing that, it was a nice read and move. So you’re right to point that out.

August 28th, 2026 at 8:48 pm
We need a solid backup quarterback. We found one. Should be only Browning and Bazelak competing for the third spot tonight. Daniels has earned the backup job and deserves to be throwing to our best receivers and playing behind a capable line. He’s going to be fine.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:49 pm
I didn’t say the play calling Rod, I don’t like that particular play call and the iterations we’ve run it in. No play is designed and called to fail, but the talent can and has been sucking at it. Also our back OL cannot be trusted to zone block, we’ve looked terrible overall running the football. So, again why would I put OLMen that can move men in space-in space to throw the ball. Throwing the fall further than the amount of actual yardage your gaining playing a risky leverage game.
I don’t like it
August 28th, 2026 at 8:49 pm

August 28th, 2026 at 8:51 pm
Daniels is scary accurate but the WRs are selling hard.
And he takes a sack but the OL sold….geez….smh
August 28th, 2026 at 8:52 pm
Munch, you must miss a lot of games if that is your assessment of Tucker. And Williams first couple of runs were no gain.
You just get fixated on a dislike and then look for the evidence to support it.

Browning wouldve been sacked 6 times by now and be in concussion protocol lmaooo plz keep daniels in for the rest of the game
August 28th, 2026 at 8:52 pm
Daniels couldn’t do much with that 3rd down. But his arm strength is showing in the first half. He’s gotta work on his mechanics and accuracy because he doesn’t have the power to make a lot of throws off platform.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:52 pm

Munch, you must miss a lot of games if that is your assessment of Tucker.
———–
Tucker has no vision – he’s by far his best when he’s just tossed the ball outside and all he has to do is run forward. When he runs inside, all he does is run forward and most of the time right into the back of his offensive line. He’s a very basic north / south runner, nothing more. He’s fine as a third RB, and can fill in as a starter if needed, but so could Ke’shawn Vaughn – pretty much any NFL RB can have a big game once and a while if they get the carries, but what separates a good RB from someone like Tucker is consistency.
Also Tucker can not pass block and will get the QB killed. His hands are mediocre, not bad, but nothing special.
If he was so good, why didn’t anyone else this summer try to sign him when he was a RFA? No one game him an offer sheet.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:59 pm
Vinny you might need to adjust the saturation on your screen. Passes have hit WRs in the hands and on the numbers and have still been dropped. No one is saying Daniels is Lamar Jackson but compared to the rest of the backups Daniels is the best.
Don’t worry, your boy Bake is safe…for now.
August 28th, 2026 at 8:59 pm

August 28th, 2026 at 9:00 pm
LOL, funny watching you Rod, blame dropped passes because you’re now a Jalon fan boi, but if that was Baker, you would be blaming him….gotta love hypocrisy.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:00 pm
@Rod Munch
They were scared of leaving Ke’shawn Vaughn in to block on passing downs. I think Tucker rates above his body of work.
But yeah, he’s very north-south. They do need a guy like that in reserve.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:02 pm

I agree. Not one bomb this entire pre-season. Not even a play action go route but I’m sure Robinson is playing close to the vest. But I’d love to see Daniels downfield accuracy. But considering the WRs, they’d probably drop it

This coming from the same Baker Boi(s) who would claim Mike Evans dropped a ball after he’d jump like 12 feet in the air to make an amazing attempt on a very poorly thrown ball – and then say Evans was a bum for not bringing it in.
Tonight, the ball is literally hitting the WRs in the hands, but its the QB at fault.
LOL! Always the same thing with the Baker Boi(s) – they’re so insecure, they let think an UDFA is a challenge to take his job, and now they root for him to fail.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:04 pm
Munchy what is Daniels 60 minute pace? What we are seeing is,Daniels playing against better defenders. All those hard passes in the draft by 32 teams over 7 rounds may have actually been based on film study, interviews, and statistical analysis. There is,a lot of highly paid people making these decisions. They cant all be wrong.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:04 pm
Maybe the baker will play next.we need to score.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:05 pm
Baker is safe,, thanks !!! JD is 7-14, 54 yards , no points , 2 sacks and a fumble ,,, If you want to give JD praise for the other preseason games against 4th stringers then you got to give him the same critic for this against 3rd stringers ,,, I’m not saying he can’t play, give him a year or 2 on the PS and see what happens ,,, I get it , the best lineman tonight for us is Mearl Haggard and he totally stunk last year ,, at least our D back ups look ok
August 28th, 2026 at 9:06 pm
Tucker needs a hole to run through- like every running back ever except for Barry Sanders. There weren’t any. That’s not what happens with our starting offensive line. What’s special about Tucker is when he gets a hole and gets into the open field. Things our O-line are very good at.

August 28th, 2026 at 9:10 pm
Munchy … baker played one series. I think the,32 Teams that did not draft Jalen looked at his 4 year body of work for the JaylenHawks. oh and Kansas is a Basketball school.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:11 pm
Not really gonna be too judgemental on preseason and the passing game, considering none of our playmaker receivers are even taking reps. Hell, I haven’t even seen Ted Hurst, who has looked pretty impressive.
Also, kinda hoping we could find a way to keep 4 running backs, considering how shifty Josh Williams has looked. Ayden Garnes looks like an absolute DOG so far! Thinking the secondary may look better this year. Jason Daniels, othet than fumbling snaps, has looked like a legit backup with potential to be a future starter of the Baker situation doesn’t work out heading into next season. GO BUCS!!!

Same here. I’d be fine with a WR dropping it (consistency matters lol) as long they ran the route properly. He was up and down with certain deep throws at Kansas – much more trouble with accuracy on the perimeter.
Still, get it on film during game action and go from there.

There wasn’t any hole. The entire offensive line was stacked together. Maybe he could have bust it outside à la Sanders. But there was nothing where the run was supposed to go. Or even near it.

Legit question – what exactly did he do that made him not very good?
The fumble – not even sure that was on him – but that would be a fair criticism. What else was an issue?
He was accurate, showed good poise in the pocket, but he had at least three drives killed by drops on 3rd down – and had at least one other drop.

Our backup o line is absolutely atrocious. The worst blocking I’ve ever seen from a professional team. They are absolutely horrible. Hopefully our “great” starters don’t get hurt. This is so ridiculous.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:18 pm

The team that lead the NFL in drops was the Jags at 45.

Munch, I’ve noticed Jalen does seem to fail to make quick decisions when the pocket is breaking down, which could lead to a bunch of sacks. Of course, that will get better with more experience playing at this level. As fast and athletic as he is, he’s gotta realize that some of these guys coming at him are just as fast, and rolling out of the pocket at the last second won’t work in the NFL. However, I do think he can be special, he’s just not ready to be a starter quite yet.

I don’t disagree with any of that.
It’s a bit hard to say he’s holding it too long with the complete lack of replays on TV and only seeing the TV view. It’s hard to know if he is holding it too long or if there is just no one open. Will be interesting to see the ALL22 and what it shows.
But I agree, he’s still a rookie QB, and an UDFA one at that, he needs a lot of snaps in practice, but he does look like a legit prospect. He’s good a good arm, good mobility, doesn’t seem to panic, seems to go through his progressions. Honestly, as a rookie, I think he’s looked pretty good. But yeah, if the Bucs needed him to start, they’d be in trouble, which is the case for pretty much all rookie QBs, outside of the very tippity top prospects.

I would still like to see Browning tonight, just to get a different look and see if I’m being a little too hard on Daniels, or if the receivers are struggling to get open, or if this fake o-line we have out here just stinks as bad as I suspect it does.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:31 pm
If the Bucs backups could catch like the Jags it’d be a different game
August 28th, 2026 at 9:32 pm
I will say listening to the radio tonight, Tony sounds a lot better to me than he did in week 1, seems to have a better handle on who everyone is, sounds more confident. So a good option on weeks that we’re plagued with Chris Meyers or other scrub announcers in the season.

Yeah why bring back Brady? All he did was take the organization from irrelevance to a championship squad.

Thanks the Rooney Rule it was never going to happen. They couldn’t just hire Coen without firing Bowles first, then going through the bogus race based hiring system, in which time Coen still could have taken another job and left the Bucs high and dry.

The Greeks invented the term long ago. Then the italians brought it back and used it in the way we understand now. It was introduced into English by a racist – but the phrase itself is commonly accepted and isn’t a slur.

August 28th, 2026 at 9:40 pm
We’re getting to the point of the game where we get the ‘injury settlement’ injuries from players who will never make it in the NFL, and want to get the $10-20k check. I guess we’ll have 3 injuries that are highly questionable before the end of the game.
What say you – over/under 2.5
August 28th, 2026 at 9:41 pm
This offensive coordinator now resorting to the behind sideline pass plays that end up in pick six about80 % of the time,just hand it off,we only got like 10 yards running.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:41 pm
Justvisiting
I never knew the connotation behind it beside the obviousness of the phrase. I just briefly looked it up and it originated from the Greek phrase “call a fig a fig”. But of course when it started being used in America around the 1920s, they referred to black americans as spades, hence making it racist.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:42 pm
I guess they didn’t see the block in the back
August 28th, 2026 at 9:43 pm
Leading receiver tonight is Eric Rivers Jr. with 5 catches.
No one else has more than 1 catch.
Greene, 4 targets, 1 catch
K. Johnson, 3 targets, 1 catch
Tez Johnson, 3 targets, 1 catch
Patterson, 1 target, 0 catches
Tucker, 1 target, 1 catch, -1 yards

“Spade a spade” is a racial thing? Lol! News to me. Well, what isn’t nowadays? That stuff is used to control people and create division anyways. I say, unless it really seems racially motivated, who cares? Most people are good people, and it’s time to quit focusing on what color we are and all that nonsense. People are people. I don’t subscribe to none of that crap. Let’s all grow up and quit trying to snitch people out when it’s impossible to keep up with all the ridiculous rules of what makes people racists. Lol!

Yikes, why is Garnes still in the game. Get him out of there.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:48 pm
This game reminds me of the second half of last season. The O line can’t hold a block, the defense has major mistakes in coverage and the running game is non existent. The only difference is Daniels was supposed to overcome all of these obstacles according to the crowd here.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:48 pm
I’m absolutely not a Zac Robinson fan and expect the Bucs to struggle scoring points this season. What is evident to me this preseason is the Bucs aren’t going to scare anyone, just like the Falcons the last 2 years. We are seeing many plays Atlanta ran *A LOT* and defenses in general don’t spend nights worrying about.
If the Bucs are going to be winners this year Bowles is going to have to do a lot more of the lifting. Because this offensive scheme isn’t going to cut it.
Call me crazy, but I’ve been watching the game for a long time and known better than to believe in things that show no evidence of being solid. Robinson has about 4 months and change before he’s looking for a new job.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:48 pm
That play has been open all night. I guess they’re playing a vanilla defense.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:48 pm
Well this has become unwatchable.

August 28th, 2026 at 9:49 pm
I like the Coen is using the preseason as you should. This is an easy give me FG, so use the 4th down play to see what your players could do. Bowles would never do that, he’d kick the FG because the 1970 coaches playbook says that’s what you do, and you do not go against the book.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:50 pm
JD had an off night for sure, BUT the playcalling seems terrible and there were a few dropped balls as well.
I’d still make JD QB2.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:51 pm
LouisFriend, they’re not going to show the good stuff in preseason.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:51 pm
LouisFriend – It’s hard to take much away from this in terms of offense, as this is obviously very very dumbed down, and if the scrub WRs simply caught the ball on 3rd down, a lot of drives kept going.
With that said, I remember saying this last preseason as well, that while the offensive play calling didn’t look good, it was just preseason, surely it would improve.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:51 pm
Zac Robinson hasn’t shown sh!t this preseason.
August 28th, 2026 at 9:51 pm
Depends.
If the reference is about a specific type of shovel that is used as a gardening tool, no (that’s where the term came from).
If he’s talking about a deck of cards, no.
If he’s talking about people, yeah.

The 4th preseason game vs the Browns I think, when we had the goat farmer at QB – the Hard Knocks year – that was the worst preseason game I’ve ever seen.
Daniels is a legit QB prospect, meanwhile goat farmer clearly was never going to play a snap in the NFL, so it was just a completely wasted game, that was incredibly boring.

If this game showed anything about these Bucs is that they’re at best an 8 win team. They have absolutely zero backups filling the roster.

Are you insane to argue with me about that era of Bucs football?
Yes, it was the 1999-00 season where Dilfer gets hurt, King comes in as QB, becomes in, Bucs beat the Redskins in Tampa (I was at the game), then go on the road to St Louis to play the Rams.
That’s the game where the refs blew the call on the Bert catch, and then created the BS ‘what a catch is’ mess that lasted for decades as they tried to cover for that blown call.

That was an interesting team. Blown off the field by good teams but able to win every single game against the bad. They had some good moments but I never got the sense they were going anywhere.
Still, watching some of Blount’s running was a heck of a lot of fun. Freeman generated a lot of hope as well.

You guys obviously haven’t watched too many preseason games this year. The Pats lost to the Brownies last night. Highly doubt that happens with Drake Maye and the rest of the starters in. Preseason has always been known for producing boring, stinker games. Chill out, everyone.

Joe, I hope you have your scathing article ready!

I wonder what this offense will look like when Robinson decides to open it up

You’re seeing a lot of the playcalling we’ll have later. We have to hope the personnel change makes a big difference.

Again, I’ll say I was impressed with the job Tony did tonight on radio – MUCH better showing than week 1. He’s never going to be Gene, but he didn’t get on my nerves, sounded a lot more confident. So that goes in the win column.

Do you guys really think this games means anything
to the regular season…in fact do you thing any pre season
game means anything theses days …Ahh NO!
grok
Studies show there is essentially no correlation between a team’s performance in preseason games and their outcomes in the regular season

I’m afraid you’re right but I hope you’re wrong lol. Maybe the starters can turn these plays into something that resembles an NFL offense

Playcalling matters in every situation. Go back to the 2024 preseason sometime and look at how Coen ran the Bucs O. Or any of the Arians preseasons. It was vanilla, but still made sense in the game flow. Even scrub players could function in it.

The 2002 Buccaneers got blown out by the Redskins, 40-10, in game 3 of the preseason – back when you’d play starters into the 3rd quarter of that game.
That team went on to go 2-14 and get the 1st pick in the draft…
Oh wait, my bad, they won the Super Bowl.
Preseason doesn’t mean much.

I don’t disagree with that at all.
Again, last preseason, I very distinctly remember writing – this play calling makes no sense, had no flow, in the preseason – but kept saying, hopefully it would improve once the season started. It did not.
With that said, Zac’s offense did finish 6th in yards just 2 years ago (13th in scoring). So it’s not like he’s never had any success.
But I do agree in that you’d like to see some sort of flow, even in the preseason.

Preseason = Evaluation Season = Meaningless to the season.
Oh, but we’re praying!

The Chiefs are Superbowl contenders.
Last week the Bucs beat the Chiefs
The Bucs are Superbowl contenders.
Just using the logic expressed here.

JD would not be QB 3 on most NFL teams, can’t understand Bucs failure to get a quality backup

I want to agree with that sentiment, but it’s tough once you go through the games where ATL had success. The Falcons had a few games of chasing points that year along with an eruption against the Bucs that is still inexplicable defensively. The yards and points count, but it was mostly in negative situations. That’s a concern.
Zac had a weapon in Atlanta he will not come close to having here. I love Bucky but he’s no Bijan. From my vantage point Zac used Bijan as a crutch, a get out of jail free card that he won’t be able to do with the Bucs. 1,900 yards from one guy will make an OC lazy.

Glad they lost and didn’t win all of their preseason games. The new special teams coordinator is doing a fantastic job. This game also proves when the oline is garbage no QB can operate and over come it.
August 28th, 2026 at 11:23 pm
LouisFriend – Bijan is great, but I do not put him in the very top tier of RBs – and even if I’m not a Baker Boi, the Bucs clearly have a much better QB, and a better offensive line (if healthy of course), and even without Evans, they still have a better WR room. At RB, with Bijan and Allgeier – the Falcons were better there, but I don’t think it’s a game changer over Bucky and Gainwell (again, if Bucky stays healthy).
But… I’m not saying your points aren’t valid – just hoping for the best since there isn’t another option. In any case, it will be an improvement over Grizz, even if Zac is no Coen.

JD I think will end up doing well. No, QB has a chance to show what they can do when they have no other choice but to play with practice squad guys. JD was playing with guys who won’t even be on the team here shortly, and that trash o-line, wtf! He was running for his life the whole night, the center constantly screwing up, all the receivers dropping balls. He wasn’t perfect himself but actually did a fine job regardless of the circumstances. Put baker or any other starting QB in that situation and see how well they do. Would love to see what JD is really capable of with the number 1’s.
