So, you’re with the fans who can’t help whining while winning.Nope, but there are a lot of fans that can enjoy a win without pissing on Bowles.The issue with the defense is 90% scheme/play calling and 10% talent.
We are middle of the pack in talent with the worst LB group in football. It's so bad Devin White would be an upgrade.
The issue that Todd Bowles is sooooo fucking predictable. That key third down one-handed catch by Theilen was the most obvious all out blitz ever. Everyone knew it was coming.
He does it every time...
In fact he spent all game blitzing with zero results. We recorded one sack and it wasn't a blitz.
There were a few times where the blitz generated some pressure but I sure as shit should hope so with how many people he sends.
So there must have been 20+ blitzes during the game and not one sack.
He plays zone instead of bump and run. He doesn't scheme to our talent.
He's just burnt toast.
There's literally only 2 posters defending him at this point.
It's crazy how there's still that many.
I'm doing what 95% of Bucs Twitter and other social media is doing.
Enjoying the win and calling out the fact that Bowles is an awful HC.
Victory Monday awaits!
One could say you’re simply trolling for champions, but it’s never clear who wins an event like that.
So, you’re with the fans who can’t help whining while winning.
My God...how soft are you?
Nearly every damn poster on here was openly critical of Bowles throughout this entire game day thread.
You going to call them out too (you won't)?
It's not whining, it's simply pointing out the obvious.
You can enjoy a win and still have opinions of aspects of a game.
One could say you’re simply trolling for champions, but it’s never clear who wins an event like that.
So, anyone that doesn't agree with you is trolling.
You may want to stay away from Bucs Twitter, as it pertains to Bowles.
Stay here, in your safe space.
Passing the mic, as you can have the last word on the topic.
Moving on...
I have these things called people in my house. The first time one of them tweets me while in the same room with me - well, the conversation will likely get unruly.
PR is a bonus.
Nice win. You enjoyed it by whining, I just enjoyed it.
All good. You get enough turkey?
panthers (stupid) and refs (disallowed TD and not given clear wirfs hold on bucky TD) handed over this one to us, thank you both! after such a win you’ve got to start believing in playoffs!!!
but one thing I will never understand….bucky is destroying the pnthers, the game comes down to the wire and coen keeps him on the sideline? wht the hell??!!!
and if someone told me panthers/bucs/chiefs games are all going into overtime …..I would have called him crazy!!!

yeah Bucky seemed hurt otherwise ridiculous on Bucs part
we sure did luck out yesterday. Division games are tough
just goes to show you that despite having an easy schedule to finish the year, any game is lose-able

The Bucs played poorly. But, when it mattered, when presented with an opportunity, they stepped up and won. Instead of being effectively eliminated from the playoffs they are tied for the division lead, I think?
since when is this Bucs team good enough to be judged by style point? Since JJ Russell took over for Britt? Or, when Britt took over for Dennis?
btw, was that T Thomas on Thielen? lol

yeah make no mistake, a loss there and we were toast for the playoffs
The Falcons have @Vikings next week in which we are all banking as a loss. They then have @ Raiders, NYG which we will hope for any given Sunday but likely W's for them. They finish @ Washington and vs Carolina. Carolina has shown to be formidable but they MAYBE lose to Washington here making them 9-8 with upside of potentially 10-7.
Clearly, very little wiggle room for Bucs so at 5-7, having to run the table would have been daunting.
The Bucs also are in the running for the 7th spot with Commanders having a tough final 4 games - @Saints, PHI, ATL, and @DAL. They are 8-5 and we own tiebreaker so is 2-2 possible here? I think so, albeit rooting for them over the Falcons.
Bucs have one of the easier schedules - v Raiders, @Chargers, @Dallas, V Panthers, and V Saints.
The Chargers and of course Saints game scare me. I think it's very likely we finish 3-2 and 9-8 on the year. Yesterdays win didnt move the needle for me. we will have to take it one game at a time

Absolutely.
The Bucs are already in playoff mode so it is definitely one game at a time. Yesterday was ugly but it was a W. Live to fight another day.

Hate to say it, but there could easily be two L’s in there.
just saw this on JBF
"The current Bucs are one game worse after 12 games than they were during their Super Bowl year with Tom Brady. And they’re one game better than they were last year after 12 games."
Big difference over last year is two losses to ATL and a lot of injuries, but interesting nonetheless

i'd say it's most likely we lose 2 games.
we are hoping for 5-0 or 4-1 but would put those odds lower than 3-2.
