Bowles didn't adjust
IMO, this is the biggest reason, tied with 2 turnovers.
Sadly, now that Ive had 2 full days to cool off. We lost Fair and Square, well kinda-those Refs made it alittle less "fair and square," but ok good game. They won the TO battle, and they had the much better 4th quarter...they deserved to win. But, if I may rebutt-Even playing average D, have fair calls, and even Just CALLing a time OUT with 36 secs in the game. AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH DIFFERENT OUTCOME, dare I say-We as Bucs fans DESERVED that Final TIME OUT at LEAST. We are not "out of bounds" in Expecting the Defense to rise to the Occasion in the 4th Quarter of a tied game- they were there, just not in the right places or used in the right "Elephant Manner", their fangs were removed, they were turned into Sheeps and then Dean gets hurt...NO Adjustment on D all game. The PR article on Bowles "coaching" vs the LIONS was rather scathing, and the video link was FULL ON BURNING Bowles. I wonder if this is what it feels like to instantly find yourself on the HOT SEAT based on ONE Enormous error, In all honesty...they all prolly just assumed the game was over, emotions run high and they all forgot the last TO-with that many staff, theres not one person who was cognizant of the timing-time out- and what if opportunity? Not one of those guys whose Job it is to run the analytics upstairs- they should been saying something at least. Giant oversight, but to ERR IS HUMAN, Bowles doubles down tho...His only true way out of that, at least for me, is for him to MAN TF UP and at least OWN the ERROR- SAY IM SORRY I MESSED UP, and I could forgive (never forget) that. If he cant admit he "messed up" I can forgive oversight- not knowing and CHOOSING to do anything about it...he going to have to simply admit he forgot-they all forgot, however, and unfortunately, that leads to discussion regarding competence- Not many can handle their competence and/or intellect called into question and receiving constructive criticism. Its tough to be that humble and strong at the same time, its easier to pretend you did it on "P"urpose as a "gentlemans" agree(WHAT TF)ment. Ok, now Ive worked myself up again and Im upset about alot, mostly now- Decision making issues. Ill see Ya'll tomorrow when Im not so rage again.
Tootalooo Bishes
The calls were lopsided for sure. But the refs didn't make Bowles play soft coverage, play Neal, play White, play conservative, etc.
Still cannot believe he didn't call that TO
The TO is the largest source of my anger on This day. It was 1 more play, I say this as nicely as possible, BUT A REAL MAN-With their back to the wall, MAY ONLY NEED ONE MORE CHANCE! Shoulda' Given May 'Field 1 more play. It was the lack of even trying, the indifference to DEFEAT after that heart attack game, to fetal position the last snap when you can attempt one MORE FU PUNCH TO THE THROAT, but wait....theres more, he doesnt even want to admit he fumbled it, hed rather say he was a "Gud Buddy" Coach and gave them the freebie, SOOOOO, does that mean he CHOSE to du his buddy a Solid as opposed to GIVE BAKER and CO, broken bloodied-some even crying, ONE MORE SHOT TO ROAR the FACE OFF a Kitten...Buddy BP BPHC...start with IM SORRY, my B'ad, forgive me or demote me...Guts like those are very few and far between.
How do you fire a HC who took his team to the Divisional round of the playoffs?Bowles didn't adjust
IMO, this is the biggest reason, tied with 2 turnovers.
I don't know the answer, but I hope the Glazers find a reason to kick Bowles' ass to the curb.
The first year head coach of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks got fired mid-season yesterday with a team that had a 30-13 record and #2 seed in the eastern conference when he was shown the door. The full story may come out later, but one can see that one can be fired despite recent success.
I basically supported Bowles until about a 3rd of the way through the 4th quarter, when they started moving on us at will- especially after Dean got injured (the lions oline got ravaged early- should started the blitz fest early-2nd quarter- so they schooled B with handling injury) and we got soft, limp, not even viagra-kinda limp and soft, and there was no adjustment, no sense of building urgency. As the game wore on, in order to win THAT GAME, you needed to Fire UP, not go IN with a limp D efense, it’s literally impossible to score with a limp D efense, I’ve tried…

Amen, and you got me…the 2Cc’s are correct in yoUr context, Mea Culpa. And yeah, he found a way to literally screw the pooch in 15 minutes of game time. Sad, it didn’t have to be like that.
