Well, I think I've seen a defense worse than the Bucs. The Bengals can't tackle and they can't cover.

That late Panthers TD is JJ Russell aka Britt’s backup

Yeah they were bad but their coordinator called some iffy calls. Wilson burned them on that one key play late in the game with them stacking the line with 8 in the box and m2m on the outside with no safety help in the shallow middle.  That was too easy for Wilson to adjust at the line and make the throw.

This Defense is historically bad.

2023 - 7th scoring defense

2024 - 16th scoring defense

2025 - 20th scoring defense

 

Each of those seasons had a different starting MLB, but the same HC/DC. The Bucs defense definitely has a real problem...

in addition to historic collapse, this is another reason why it was hard to believe they retained Bowles

Even the defensive savior couldn't take care of business. The HC/DC ran out of excuses quite a while ago.

But agreed. Gutless move by the Glazers to keep him the last season in lieu of Coen and this season altogether.

Agreed BUT there are several reason why they might have, if you look at it from the internal perspective.  Sort of makes this season a bit of a lost season absent some unexpected big tirnaround.

only reason I can see as I’ve said before was the premature extension of him

Bucs have also had a new NCB every season so far in recent memory.  The Bucs obsession with starting new NCBs and ILB when they do not have a legit pass rusher opposite of Diaby is alarming.  And now they must determine their boundary CBs.

maybe in an owner pride/ego way. I doubt $ way. They fired Gruden before.

 

I meant more the rebuild, Licht is a fan, exceeded expectations inside OBP, Mayfield, 2 good OCs, one bad, cap/cash constraints
