Todd Bowles Explains His Outrage Outburst
December 16th, 2025
So the entire NFL world is familar with Todd Bowles dropping seven F-bombs in 24 seconds during his postgame news conference on Thursday night.
It was like he was gunning for a record under the NBA shot clock.
Impressive stuff.
So what were those emotions about? Bowles answered that question today on the Buccaneers Radio Network.
“When you get beat on simple fundamentals and technique, that is something I really can’t stand or can’t take, and that’s the frustrating part of it,” Bowles said. “And not taking it out on one player or anybody else, but we know what we’ve been doing the past few weeks, and when those mistakes creep up at the end with the game on the line and we understand we gotta execute and we don’t do it — and we’ve done it 50 million times — that part really bothers you and really pisses you off.”
Overall, listening to Bowles, it sounds like he feels like his defense loses its focus too often. Sometimes it’s one player on a play; sometimes its multiple guys.
If Bowles and the coaching staff can’t get more guys locked in now, then why would anyone expect it to happen in 2026?
Joe sure hopes Bowles can get his defense playing a shred better quickly while the offense benefits from big-time talent returning to the field. That’s not too much to ask.

Simple fundamentals and technique would be a basic D scheme, todd…not this shtshow you keep putting together. Yes, back to basics!! Is it that hard dude? Stop with the trickery!!! We have the talent to play their proper positions… AND STOP GOING ON 4th DOWN UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!! Obviously we cant do that too well….and while Im at it, stop going for two points unless absolutely necessary, not good at that either.
The stupid is thick!

I want this team to win and make it to the playoff and I want Todd Bowles to get fired. Simple as that.

Todd is a players coach. He is a guy players relate to and love playing for. He doesn’t make them practice tackling they have walk throughs. He gives them extended vacation time. Doesn’t bench bad players puts them on IR. Gets his guys paid so they can loaf. I want a boss just like him.

Explain your logic here cos it’s missing. You’ve got 2 opposites in the same sentence.

WTF

So is Bowles admitting they haven’t executed 50 million time this season? I know he’s not trying to say they have, right? That would require him thinking bucs fans are blind and dumb. It’s as much a bad scheme as it is players not executing. You can’t ask your players to line up 10 yards off the receiver on 3rd and 5 and expect to get a stop. This guy’s is blaming his players and gaslighting the fan base.

I think the Bucs can make the playoffs and Bowles can still be fired at this point. Division titles are great but at this point getting embarassed in the wild card is not excusable. Can only imagine this is highly plausible when we play the Seahawks or Rams..

Yeah it’s more of the same thing. Just seems to me there’s a lack of drive to execute the details. At this point all signs point to Bowles being the issue. The players have to shoulder the blame of course because they’re the ones making the plays on the field, but we’ve seen these guys do great things.
High drive players in a system they believe in don’t make the little mistakes. They don’t continue to make the same mistakes. They play until the clock hits zeroes and I just don’t see it from this group lately. Time for change.

I guess some of the players can’t find a reason to “prolong the inevitable”.

Again I point out to all the dullards who want the Bucs to lose… what makes you think Bowles is getting fired?
Baker has one year left and wants a huge new payday. The Bucs have Godwin on a big deal. They will almost certainly bring back Evans. Vita will be 31 years old. If the Bucs hire a new coach, unless it’s something like trading for Tomlin, it’s almost certainly going to mean tearing down the team and rebuilding. If they’re going to do that, they’ll likely give this core roster one more year before doing so, then blowing it up.
Also you dummies need to realize when the team is blown up, it means many years of losing, and you same dopes complaining right now about being in 1st place, will be talking about right now as the good old days when we’re 7 years into a rebuild and coming off a 5-12 season.
Talk about spoiled whiny crybabies. Not a single person talking like the Bucs are 2-10 right now went through the 80s and 90s grind, if you did, you’d realize how dumb all these people whining right now sound, and you’d know what is coming up next.
Hope that Baker gets hot, carries the team and finally doesn’t choke in the 4th quarter of a playoff game. The team was literally built to win on offense, not to have to keep opponents under 20 points a game to have a chance. If Baker gets hot, it can carry the team really far. If Baker plays like he has the last two weeks, then who knows if they win again this year. But realize that Baker and Bowles are tied together, if one goes, the other is likely gone as well.
