Todd Bowles

Todd Bowles spent four years coaching the New York Jets (2015-2018) and good luck finding a Jets fan who thinks he did a good job.

But it’s not only Jets fans unimpressed by Bowles’ first head coaching tenure. The Bowles detractors include a former Jets quarterback who is a powerful media voice. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

The Bucs are on pace to be the worst rushing offense since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. They currently are the worst team in the NFL in yards-per-carry by damn near a half-yard. (more…)

Calls out Bucs.

If you think the Bucs look awful, don’t worry, that perception is beginning to catch on from sea to shining sea after the Bucs did their best to chase Amazon customers to Walmart.com Thursday night. (more…)

Got no help.

Very, very interesting stuff from a guy known as one of the great defensive coordinators of the past few decades. (more…)

Exactly 10 days ago, Todd Bowles said on radio that his Buccaneers have toughness problems.

The torn Achilles suffered by Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett last night is tragic for the Bucs’ hopes this season, but it also likely extends into 2023. (more…)

Done for 2022.

Last night it was “feared.” Now it is reality. (more…)

Warning, the following is painful to any Bucs fan who understands that trying hard is essential to winning a game tied in the third quarter. (more…)
