Sometimes, the simplest explanation is the best explanation. In that spirit, let’s stipulate the Bucs are not a good football team. In fact, they haven’t been good in quite a while.

Bucs fans from Temple Terrace to Tierra Verde are wondering when Team Glazer will move on from Bowles and have mercy on fans following a third consecutive home loss today and a brutal 0-4 start. [read more]

The Buccaneers couldn’t find enough of a running game to help their undrafted rookie quarterback win today, and that led to a highly predictable result.
