“He’s Looked Like The Old Chris Godwin”
November 24th, 2025
Chris Godwin
So what’s been going on with receiver Chris Godwin behind the scenes at One Buc Palace?
That’s a mystery, of course, but a little less of mystery after Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht spoke last night.
Before kickoff in Los Angeles, Licht visited the team readio network and referenced Godwin’s return to action last night after more than one month on the shelf.
“This is something that we’re all excited, about. He looks really, really good. To be honest with you, he’s looked like the old Chris Godwin,” Licht said.
Now that got Joe excited, which was short-lived after the Bucs played impotent, embarrassing football and were toast before halftime.
Still, Licht is not one for recovery hyperbole when it comes to injured players. If Godwin has been practicing like his old self, that bodes well for the stretch run.
Licht referenced Godwin likely being on a “pitch count” last night.
Today, head coach Todd Bowles said Godwin came out of the game well after his limited action.

This from the guy who thinks Braswell is an ascending player.

Joe – MRI in yet? We’re waiting out here

All we seem to do is constantly throw passes behind the sticks….last night we averaged 6 yards per completion on 17 passes with only 2 to RBs
No wonder we can’t get 1st downs.
What the hell is going on?

The way Godwin was running around. He looked good. When he started the season he didn’t look this good. You know it’s a bad game when Wirfs was getting worked over by a rookie. After last night the nfl should give the Bucs anymore primetime games.

“Braswell is going to shock the world.”
“Reddick is that dude.”
Licht is more used car salesman that he is a GM. Constantly trying to fool the fanbase into thinking this is a group of winners.
I don’t believe anything this guy says at this point.

Hi Joe can we be alittle excited about Godwin!!. The only reason I tuned in was to see him take the field. I didn’t watch much , because I knew what was going to happen. Yes it went exactly as scripted, so no need to be upset. That is who the Bucs are presently.
Anyway I did see Godwin some, as he was all I was keying in on and agree I like what I saw just the way he moved and carried himself. He is such a hard worker.
This team is done!!, There is no one coming in to bail out this D and by the time the Bucs get the weapons back on offense it will be to late. However, watching Godwin get back his form is something to be happy about.
Yes, the Bucs are very very poor in prime time, so take them off. They deserve the reputation they have. On prime time yes they are the YUCS.

Didn’t look like it to me, yet again the playcalling doesn’t look ANYTHIG like it did when we had “old Chris”. Grizzard is in waaaay over his head!

Licht’s credibility is suspect. He bragged way too hard on Braswell and some of the other defenders during preseason. They have been complete losers.
To be honest, everyone who has a paycheck coming from the owners should STFU this week. No one wants to hear that “we had a bad game“ or “we’re almost in all three phases of the game.“. LIES!
They are just trying to avoid losing hot dog revenue.
This was supposed to be a good team.
Yeah. It’s time to clean house.

Godwin looked comfortable out there – both running routes and blocking. That last drop is one he usually catches and gets 10+ YAC. Wasn’t mad about it, those things come with more play time!
