He took an UDFA qb and a team at the bottom, a 9 point underdog ,and got a needed win on Thursday night ,in Dallas in front of the whole nation.. It doesn’t matter if has my confidence its his players and with that said its the players that count and he does …Sorry bout your luck ,you “grateful so called Buc Fans” oh year back to a game out of first!! With plenty more to go!! I love football
We are way past the point of no return regarding the current coaching staff. Great victory vs. the Cowboys, but as the league continues to demonstrate, mediocre teams like Dallas and even good teams like Seattle and Buffalo stumble all the time against lesser foes.
A decent defensive gameplan and extraordinary play by a rookie UDFA QB against the league’s worst defense hardly constitute a basis for increased confidence in the direction of the team.
Bucs have given up 112 pts thru 5 games. Subtract the 2 TDs surrendered by the offense (fumble recovery TD) and the S/Ts (punt return TD) and our defense has only given up 98 points. We currently rank #15 in Points Allowed, but we’d be averaging 19.6 PPG and be ranked #9 if our offense & S/Ts hadn’t given up those 2 TDs.
Of course, if pigs had wings they could fly. You are where you are, and the NFL says we’re ranked #15. Nonetheless, the defense is playing decent football now (no, not perfect) after a somewhat rocky start in the first couple of games. I’m convinced we COULD claw our way into the Top-10 this season, but it’ll take time.
Our challenge is gonna be to keep the defense playing quality football AND get the offense to step it up somewhat. We’ve only scored 100 points in 5 games … 20 PPG average … and 7 points of our 100 points came off of Trottiers’ Pick-6. I think the Dallas game showed us where our offense’s strengths lie right now, but I’m still wondering if the Bucs will continue along those paths.
DR stats blah blah blah
It’s BAD football!
It’s a dysfunctional organization
It’s an organization with self serving familiar names calling the shots
It’s major forward thinking decisions are made by committee with NO clear leadership.
It’s EXACTLY what has been playing out on game day since 2024

I hate these polls, Joe, but only because I can never see the results! 🤬 The results can be viewed at any time. –Joe
Not for me. It’s just the headline, the date, “Flash poll posted at…” and… nothing else. Even the “previous results” link is no good.
Something something broken clock right twice a day, something something blind squirrel. I’ve been fooled too many times and the amount of talent especially on the edge rush side being wasted is malpractice. I’m happy for the win, but I cannot change my stance. SuperBowl or bust.

If pigs had wings, they’d be deep fried and slathered in hot buttery Buffalo Sauce creating a ménage à trois of meat that would make all Buc fans forget about our 1-4 record. MMMMMMMMMMMMM 🤯! Go Bucs Go Bowls! Go pork wings And Pork Soda!
I wonder what Bowles was thinking watching red zone yesterday after seeing an even more dysfunctional situation with which the Commanders puked on themselves attempting to kill the clock where they actually killed the clock? Seriously, these guys (players and coaches) get paid so much money and they FAIL coaching 101. How many times did we see it since Thursday alone?
1) Bowles going for it on 4th down
2) Dallas going for two
3) Philadelphia and the kickoff
4) And the icing on the cake – Washington
If the O-line can continue to improve and Zac can get the pass game going I have some confidence. Todd has coached well defensively. Sacks come in bunches and I expect us to get our share but with a little more help from the offense we could win a lot of our upcoming games.
The defense is not the primary reason we have lost 4 games so far. They are playing a lot better than last year- ESPECIALLY IN COVERAGE on stud WR’’s. We need the offensive line to start taking complete control of games if we want to go on a long winning streak. That’s both pass protection and run blocking!

Lakeland has to be the lone Totally confident vote.
He’s as delusional as the Joes are after improving to 2-8 in the last 10 games. Joe is neither delusional nor confused. LOL–Joe
Todd Bowles is such a treasure. We are so lucky. LMFAO!!!!

4-12 in the last 16 games. No one except Bowels, no where except Tampa would this be allowed to continue.
Anyone who has any shred of confidence in Todd at this point needs a CT Scan.
There’s zero point to even posing such a question other than morbid curiosity or unfettered stupidity.

String together 3 or 4 more straight wins. Then my confidence will go from zero to 50. But you gotta beat the Steelers first.

@ ProffeserVonBrainStorm, you haven’t been around here long have you? This question gets asked weekly to gauge the fans feelings on the coach.
Maybe be less pretentious next time.

Anyhony, Is that a Primus reference? If so excellent! Bowles should check out that carnivore craze. Better than kit-kats!
