Tank for Manning
keep Bowles as long as we’re winless
Hopefully we can go 0-4 next week!
September 28th, 2026 at 5:35 pm
Tucker will come to the top. Watch him……
September 28th, 2026 at 5:38 pm
no point to tank…because a few tankers in the league are way way worse than us…with rosters that aren’t even nfl quality…
you will not win a tankathon…
and the manning kid is not coming to tampa…
ny and miami are possibly in play for him tho

Manning is not it. No mechanics and he cant read a defense.
September 28th, 2026 at 6:32 pm
Trade everyone with value. Go full tank mode and fire Lovie Bowles in January.
Make him sit and stew in the bouillabaisse of failure he created.
This is what happens when you gift the HC job to someone unqualified.
It all started with him and it should all end with him.
In a just world the man that gave Todd an extension should also be let go.

Someone get Ira a honey bun – he is understandably cranky.
September 28th, 2026 at 7:33 pm
There is a reason why this O-Line is atrocious, his name is Baker, he holds the ball so long that by the time he dances all around the pocket then squirts out and throws the ball, then the O-Line has incurred a holding penalty.

Ira sometimes says funny stuff, this has the look of a 6-10 season. No Ira, it is 0-17 season, I see no wins anywhere for this Bowles led Baker under center sht. It is possible Jalon Daniels changes the dynamics and we start to win when he is under center. If not then it cannot be turned around.
September 28th, 2026 at 8:04 pm
Wouldn’t it be interesting if jalon did win a couple games. Will they
Go back with a bum handed baker? Give the kid a few weeks to see
What he can do. Its possible he ll fall on his face with that oline but
Whats left to lose?

Seriously y’all need a reality check. Baker was a Top 5 QB under Liam with a top 5 offense. No one could be successful with this coaching staff.
Worst in the league. Put Baker on the 49ers and he would be just fine.
Glad he got paid. No one should have to play for Todd unless they are making Bank.
September 28th, 2026 at 9:22 pm
@firethecannons – if you’re being objective, there are just as many plays where Baker is running for his life / forced out of the pocket within a second bc the o-line has turned into a collection of matadors.
They are both at fault IMO. Same with the OC.
That entire side of the ball looks awful outside of Bucky, and Chris Godwin each of the whole 2 times per game we throw him a pass.

Not surprised by where this team is at right now actually, predicted a 5 win season. After giving him solid rosters these last few years and adding FA talent on D this offseason, have to think even Licht has lost faith in todd at this point as well. Rightfully so.
September 29th, 2026 at 9:58 am
One thing that was not mentioned in the Podcast is that Bowles is also failing to develop Bain.
You do not want that kid to loose his confidence and Bowles sucks at developing talent.

It would such a Bucs thing for the team to win against all of the teams against the NFC South but then lose against every other team that they play.
September 29th, 2026 at 4:37 pm
Look for the Glazers to give Bowles a contract extension only then to fire him! It’s a simple formula: contract extension=kiss of death! That’s how they operate.

Mr. Editor, have you watched the rest of the teams in our division play yet? If not you should. There is no way playing like the Bucs are playing now that they can beat anyone in our division. Turnovers, penalties, QB play, bad offensive line play and not great Special teams play. The defense shows a little promise but they need to play hard the entire season. Against good QB’s, (not trash like Deshawn Watson or the shrimp we played this last week) the Bucs are going to have to prove they can stop them. History tells us that under Bowles they can’t stop good teams with good QB’s.

NFC South is ridiculous? By the end of the year that statement will be proven ridiculous.

If you watch the all22, Egbuka ran at least two routes into coverage. He sits down when he shouldn’t and runs into coverage when he shouldn’t. Bad coaching there as well.
