There’s only one question left to ponder. WATGT.

What are the Glazers thinking?

At the moment, they have to be thinking they made a mistake sliding Todd Bowles into the head coach position instead of pursuing other options. There’s plenty of time for Bowles to restore the confidence of ownership, but four losses in five games has eroded his credibility with the fan base — and perhaps with his players.

It’s hard to imagine a worse two weeks in Buc history, considering the expectations for this team and the quality of the opponents. Tampa Bay just lost to a pair of floundering franchises armed with backup quarterbacks.

Humiliation Sets In

October 23rd, 2022

The truly saddest aspect to this Bucs football team that was kicked in the groin by the Panthers and their fourth-string quarterback today, 21-3, is that Tampa Bay truly is a soft football team.

How Bad Are The Bucs?

October 23rd, 2022

A Perfect Example Of Terrible Coaching

October 23rd, 2022
