Probe me wrong, Coach
September 8th, 2026 at 5:05 am
Prove*** I’ll blame a fat finger, autospell and concussion for that embarrassment
September 8th, 2026 at 5:32 am
After last December I lost confident on him.
The players will execute. I’m confident on the players we got. We got the right players that will bring attitude to create respect from other teams. Todd lacked respect from players last December. Todd needs the right captains to do his job. Now Todd. Can be more focus on being the DC without having to command the troop. This is similar to having Arians back. Light created a nice temporary bandaid.
LFG!!!!!

Do the 45% who have some sort of confidence watch the games? If so, are they visually impaired? If not, are they mentally impaired?
September 8th, 2026 at 7:03 am
Smoke Porterhouse – the roster is healthy and improved. He gets one more shot.
September 8th, 2026 at 7:09 am
Since I chose the tean to win 11 games, I begrudgingly selected Confident. Seemed appropriate
You know, since there wasn’t a “Bucs will win in spite of” selection.
Ya’ll may have seen my opinion of TB before, but he is just good enough to not be horrible but not nearly good enough to be….enough. He is a “good” coach like Daniel Jones is a “good” qb

yep, like smoke said, this poll shows truly how delusional most Bucs fans/people that visit this site are…..what exactly about his flaccid. folded arms attitude inspires confidence?
September 8th, 2026 at 8:05 am
• Little Confidence
September 8th, 2026 at 8:07 am
I voted little confidence only because of his inability to adapt his defense to the players that he has
September 8th, 2026 at 8:15 am
ZERO Confidence that he can adapt his scheme to limit teams from scorching this team against the pass.
Who cares if you are a top 10 run defense every year if it’s so easy for opponents to pass on you?
eventually you need to adapt and scheme against teams passing all over you. I am confident Todd will be fired and this team is going 6-11
September 8th, 2026 at 8:23 am
Go Bowles! Go Bucs!
September 8th, 2026 at 8:34 am
Confidence “in what?” would help with the poll.
Confident he can win 8 games – very confident
9 games – confident
Over 9 – little confidence
Over 10 – no confidence
Can win division if the other teams don’t improve – confident
If the other teams make significant jumps – no confidence
September 8th, 2026 at 8:35 am
“Probe me wrong …” Ouch!
Far funnier, Leopold. But the intent to correct is appreciated, at least by me as many don’t seem to care (see above).
September 8th, 2026 at 8:49 am
Less than no confidence other than Bowles being inept and clueless.
Sounds like Leopold might need some lubricant before the season starts.
Floormatt is Bowles number one fan boy. Why we may never know.
Just gotta get better counter will be on full display this season.
I expect a geometric rate of that phrase on a weekly basis. Bowles sucks.

It goes to show that there is a segment of “fans” here, who will just agree with and say whatever, just in order to follow the status quo. Some are EMPTY. The rest have Stockholm Syndrome. They are the exact same people who CONTINUE to follow along, and putting ALL their faith in ‘believing-in’ the mainstream legacy media… EVEN, when they KNOW they’re being LIED TO, and have been made to look like total complete FOOLS, over and over, & again and again. There are about 45% of them, that are ALL-IN. No matter what… And, at ALL COST. They want MORE. No matter that Bowles has done absolutely NOTHING in the past that would make ANY reasonable person with EYES or A BRAIN, to believe in. They must really LOVE the abuse. They are WEAK. They’ll say things like, “I’ll trust in what the Coaches, Players, GM, FO, Owners, Bucs-Media, & etc. SAYS over anyone else.” Oh, REALLY!? Yeah, keep on then, “TRUSTING THE MAN.” Believe-in that big ‘narrative’ THEY are pushing onya! Fall in line. LOVE that status quo. Believe THEM over your OWN eyes and common FRICKEN SENSE. DON’T want or EXPECT any better. KEEP drankin’ that Kool-aid.

“He is a “good” coach like Daniel Jones is a “good” qb.”
That is an insult to Daniel Jones. Baker & Bowles inherited a team with SEVERAL players having a SUPER BOWL Pedigree, AND the NFC South Division. They seriously, could not have done ANY WORSE, or had accomplished ANY LESS. And, that’s a 💯 FACT.
September 8th, 2026 at 9:02 am

And… the local media have abandoned their mission in life.
Local media has been conditioned to be subservient to the FO at OBP !
September 8th, 2026 at 9:15 am
SERIOUSLY. Just THINK about it… How much WORSE could they have possibly done over these past 4-SEASONS, while residing in THIS NFC South Division. SERIOUSLY. It would have been IMPOSSIBLE to have been ANY WORSE. You couldn’t.
September 8th, 2026 at 9:23 am
I am confident that Todd will have another 3 or 4 game losing streak like he has EVERY year
September 8th, 2026 at 9:58 am
Repost from the “Todd Bowles and field storming” article earlier.

September 8th, 2026 at 9:50 am
I wonder if he learned something from that game.
I recall another game up in Michigan where no time outs were called because it would just “prolong the inevitable”.
One second
One second and the game is winnable.
That’s a winning attitude.
Granted that that one second was gifted to them by the refs. They took that gift, and won.
It takes an awful lot to regain trust and confidence after ‘quitting’ in a play-off game.
September 8th, 2026 at 9:58 am
Melvin needs to take a Valium or eat some fruit or something!
Voted NC…TB is just an old school, hard headed coach who won’t change his ways.
Not a leader of men…I think.
September 8th, 2026 at 10:14 am
I’d like to hear the responses from The Glazers, Licht, and Mike Evans.
September 8th, 2026 at 10:22 am
55% no confidence but 80% think 10 wins or more.
How does that add up?
September 8th, 2026 at 10:32 am
Since these polls started, NC. The guy is a mediocre .500 coach that has a way of falling off the cliff every year. This ownership should demand better from the HC. Oh and Jason needs a poll also.
September 8th, 2026 at 10:37 am
OVER 55% say Little or NO Confidence
Hope the Glazers are paying attention
September 8th, 2026 at 10:40 am
I am very confident that he won’t deliver a losing season. I’m equally confident that he won’t deliver a winning season.
The guy is only capable of .500.
September 8th, 2026 at 10:43 am
.500 is impossible with 17 games
Stop using Floriduh math
September 8th, 2026 at 10:54 am
@Jug1,
If you think that poll is overconfident, you’d throw up at the last one for Licht. I’m still cleaning it up.
September 8th, 2026 at 11:16 am
As much as I wanted him replaced after last year, there is a part of me that’s going to enjoy the apoplectic comments here 5 months from now when the Bucs win 11 games and Todd stays.
Sooooo many all caps comments will be spewed…….
September 8th, 2026 at 11:20 am
Tie one game and you can finish. 500 so not impossible?
September 8th, 2026 at 11:29 am
How does anyone have confidence at this juncture. All I can base my opinion on is the 2-7 finish last season. So for now, little confidence. I’ll give it the first 4 games before reevaluating Bowles this season since there have been multiple additions both coaches & players.
September 8th, 2026 at 11:58 am
I’m 100% Confident
The Bucs don’t win more than 7 games.
6-11
September 8th, 2026 at 1:32 pm
@SlyPirate,
Noted, but please don’t disappear after an 11 win season when you have to explain why you were wrong. I will be here to explain why I was wrong if they lose that many.
Deal?
September 8th, 2026 at 1:37 pm
i am late to the party but i would have voted absolutely no confidence in Todd.
zero, zilch, nada.

———————–
To what ? To what you or some of your poo crew have to say on what exactly ? The Glazers said tell you they’re paying attention, and if you don’t like their decisions get your own football team
September 8th, 2026 at 2:33 pm
That’s a good one, the Glazers paying attention! 😂 If they were paying attention, they’d have a new HC who knew what he was doing.
September 8th, 2026 at 2:40 pm
Simple T: A few questions for you…
Is your son an assistant coach on the Bucs?
Do you eat Kit-Kats?
Is your base defense basically a “prevent defense”?
I’m trying to figure out if you’re Todd Bowles himself, well his burner account.
September 8th, 2026 at 3:22 pm
Okay, I have thought this through and I have come up for something good I can say about Bowles.
He does a great job of keeping expectations low, so it doesn’t hurt as much when the Bucs lose.
September 8th, 2026 at 3:36 pm
Smoke porterhouse
Happy to answer your questions…
No, yes, I don’t have a base defense.
One for you…
Have you ever had an original thought or have you always been a sheep blindly repeating what the trolls say ?
September 8th, 2026 at 5:18 pm
Hahahaha, Simple T, Todd Bowles jock sniffer, the nonbinary Bucs cheerleader no matter what, no matter how hard the defense quits, you’re there for them!
