Scott Baker has saved this team on all his skill set many times but you nailed it when you said this Team has not had an interception, fumble or fumble recovery,.
Offense did its job although McMillan needs to come down with that potential TD pass. But what happened to the heavy blitz strategy that worked so well against the Chargers? The only way to make Rush look great is to go with soft zone and no pressure. He had a ton of time to allow receivers to get open in the gaps. They rolled down the field easily in the first half.
Missing Otton this week showed. He has become a primary weapon on this team; he wouldve held that drop Durham had. We have ZERO outside pass rush. Pressures- yeah ok, but when youre not getting to the QB and blitzing- death by 1000 paper cuts- going into this game Cooper Rush's stats going against a loaded box are some of the best in the league. And we desperately need to upgrade our linebacker corp- Its time.
This team is just down right embarrassing and the fact that Todd bowls stands there arm crossed with 0 emotions after blown assignments on his side of the ball is unbelievable. Go rip someone a new one show some emotion...jesus....u can't call yourself a defensive guru and ur dead last prolly in nfl....what the hell do u guys do during the week as coaches. This loss is on everyone in the organization top down. No way should there be that much drop off between what we did last week agasint la chargers to Dallas when chargers are better. Again any game with any bit of significance this team chocked it away
@@jordenmitchell8025and the fact that the bucs are 0-4 in primetime is straight embarrassing....I dont even have words ....is this not addressed during the week. Like wtf u doing. Prolly sitting there arms crossed 😂
Good Show. Wish we were a consistent team. The last 3 seasons were so chaotic. But I am a fan, even if the Bucs are at the abyss of ominous futility. Still a fan. Attended the very first playoff game in 1979 at Old Tampa Stadium.
Cooper Rush is no slouch, has been playing at a high level the past 6 games. He led them to a win over the commanders too. I’m hoping the commanders get their revenge.
I wish I could find it, but I read a tweet last night that the Bucs have had like 70 missed tackles this season. Bowles is way too loyal to his defensive coaching staff. Should have cleaned house.
Honestly the fact we have remained competitive this year with all these damn injuries is incredible.....lesser teams crumble to dust under such circumstances...Lets grind it out and finish strong!!!
Rachaad has fumbled twice in two weeks in key situations. I don't care how good he is in pass protection. He's a weakness at the thing a running back is supposed to do, run with the ball. Put a damn tight end in the backfield or design a screen if you can't block. Players over plays players over plays players over plays. It's malpractice for him to be out there.
What a lackluster performance. The only player that showed up seemed to be Bucky Irving. With so much on the line, I just can't believe that's what we got to watch. I mean wow.
Why the hell is Sean Tucker not getting snaps??? You can't say it's because of the fumble with Rachaad White putting the ball on the ground way more than Tucker.
Not going to put this on all Bowls, but definitely not a fan of D lineman dropping back to cover RB and WR, especially when the blitzing is not working much of the time, too many penalties, drop passes, and missed tackles by the players. One other thing, i will never understand why coaches take so long to implement the 2 minute offense, one way to slow down and tire out a defensive is to get into that 2 minute drill, I just don't get it.
I believed we were going to win on our last possession. It was all lining up. Unfortunate outcome. I believe we win the next two games. We can still do it.
The piece that I keep hearing is the defense don't have the horses. We'll that's Todd's responsibility, he has had years to develop the back ups. KJ is an example, 3 years invested and not worth it. Should have up and coming youth but hardly any on the defensive side. Need to see better from defensive coaches
I don't know. Kirk cousin has a career best against us in his two starts against this defense. But then gets benched for his worst season. Cooper rush gets his career high before half time. Fire the defensive coordinator aka the head coach
We need to do whatever it takes to hold on to Liam Coen. That's first. This coming draft and free agency should be entirely dedicated to Defense with one exception. We only need one player on offense Savion Williams of TCU.
Here's something everyone isn't talking about, the Cowboys kicker was 4/4. 3/4 were 52 yds or more makes. Yeah, we want perfection from the defense but the Cowboys QB is a backup who took what the defense gave him (1st half). The one explosive play we gave up should've been OPI. We know this defense is avg because we don't have any good outside pass rushers but we let the Cowboys take this away from us. This was a physical game, and it's not meant to be easy.
I don't see how a new HC is going to make a difference with this team. When the BUCS change HC, they will also have to change players, including the QB. I don't think this team will have the players to become better next year with a new HC. This is going to be a total rebuild.
The Cowboys weakness was their run defense. We didn't attack that deficiency enough. The Cowboys however knew our weakness were the linebacker therefore attack the middle. The defensive players mis-tackles once again were evident. Defensive fundamentals are poor within this defensive players. Safety were out of place all the time. Baker needs to learn how to throw the ball away or check down. He is trying to make big plays on every down. The decision to go on 4th and 3 was a bad decision too early in the game. The game plan should had been establishing the run game. Maintain the ball time possession and set up the action play. Especially when you have a poor defense. Overall the Bucs were out coached and out played. Bowles and Coen had the wrong game plan. These game playing inconsistencies are the one that can't ensure the Bucs could win next 2 games. It just the reality of this current team.
I bet I repeated the phrase "Just run the f*ckin ball!" about 100 times in the first half. I can't understand being so pass happy when we're so damn good on the ground. They should've pounded the rock early and often and the pass game would have opened up. With Canales we sucked at running and stuck with it, with Coen we're amazing at running and go away from it. Make it make sense.
why do we want to go to the play offs if we cant beat the cowgirls with a back up ??? the team should of been tanking for draft and a rebuild , i dont understand the point of just being good enough to make it to the first round year after year in a bad devison
We have a running joke in our house. What record will be broken this week against the Bucs. I get it we have injuries but that defense is just pathetic. The turnovers are just sickening too. The margin of error for this team is so fine that you had to know one of these games was going to happen. Win the next two and hope for Washington to beat Atlanta. Either way, they have zero chance in the playoffs.
When Shepard dropped that ball on 4th down to give the ball back to Dallas at midfield I knew it was over from then. This team tends to sink further into problems rather than pull themselves out of a hole.
A lot of the players on defense isn’t good point blank period. The way you guys rip Todd when games like this happen is wild to me. Coach has been patching up holes all year. And he isn’t the one missing tackles and not making the turnover play. At some point our players have to be held accountable
More of a strategy failure on defense. Since they cannot cover downfield you need to blitz like they did against Chargers. The effort was there tonight, some gritty performances on both offense and defense. And Dallas is playing well now.
Part of the problem was Otton being out. Anytime Kieft hits the field the opposing D knows it's going to be a run- and it's going to a different gap. It's amazing how much of a difference Otton makes in the run and pass game.
I would rather we don't make the playoffs and Boweles get's fired, then lose Liam and Baker is on OC #3 in 3 years. With this D we won't have a deep run anyway. Get stability on offense and revamp a new Defense cause they can't get any worse.....or can they.
Bucs can't play complete games consistently. They have a tendency to shrivel up when they need it. They have been too inconsistent. The losses to ATL will but them in the rear. Frustrating to see them lose to crappy teams.
For some reason, the NFL network (I think?) was replaying old Bengals games last night - the Bucks score flashed at the bottom - 45-10 Chicago over TB. Just remember where we were just a few years ago.
Bowels is cooked, you remember and settle, I’m not settling for nada as long as we got Jason and the talented teams he built there’s no excuse, sloppy as hell season torched
PR, I guess the offense played a flawless game. You guys continue to try and feed this narrative that it's all TB fault. Our OC can't seem to get past that script of play and is slow to adjust. Todd is an average coach, yes, but is the OC ready to be head coach? No. You guys keep saying, "I'm not going to call for Todd's job," but that's all ya'll do. Sometimes, it's just the Jimmie and the Joe's not the x's and the o's.
meh it is what it is. Bowles needs to go. You could see this coming. Very disappointed with the effort. I mean if we can't beat Dallas who cares if we make the playoffs.
I feel like y'all have forgotten where we were with basically this same team, just a few years ago. I'd rather be in the mix than be the worst team in the NFL over a decade. Only Tom MFer Brady could break that streak. Todd's bad clock management is a major indictment but he has them ready to play every week. Not sure I want the boat to be rocked, at this point
They looked ready to play tonight? Or against the broncos? Lmao every time you have to be a ready to play, you are not. Poor tackling, no plays made on defense. No edge rush, lack of development of 1st round draft picks on defense, alll coaching.
Cry baby bucs fans want to blame Todd Bowles for everything. In the nfl you get the ball back down by 2 points you need to drive the field and kick a field goal. It’s not Bowles fault that White fumbled the ball. Our best DB is injured. Not Bowles fault. We have practice squad players and undrafted free agents at safety and it’s not Bowles fault.
It’s obvious you’re not a Bucs fan. No shit, white fumbling it was on him, but there’s bigger problems and if you look across all our losses, hell, even our wins, balls has been a horrible head coach making decisions. I don’t believe there’s anybody in the right mind that truly has paid attention would say against that.
@@ericcarlson8997 Die hard bucs fan for 20+ years and the grass isn’t always greener. I’m just sick of the fire Bowles stuff. We win 4 in a row and lose one and it’s fire Bowles.

He is the only one left, he needs to be gone his scheme is no longer working unless it’s just horrible teams his defense plays against and in some cases that doesn’t even work, like tonight.
@@Allenmnemonicx we lost because white fumbled the ball at the end of the game. If we get 30 yards and kick a field goal we win the game. It’s really not on Todd Bowles that we lost Sunday.
Liam Cohen is not ready for a HC job on a good team. If he stays, Bowles gets demoted, and we get a true HC we should be back in Super Bowl contention.

The problem with this team is...the offense has to bail the defense out every game....... If Liam Cohen leaves....who will bail out Todd bowels????
Toilet bowles D hasnt changed in a decade . Must be hard to gameplan for. We make the average qb look like a hof.

Baker showed up way more than Bucky, baker played a helluva game.
BA would’ve cleaned house… How the hell can you go beat the #1 D in SD… beat Detroit on & on.. then just roll over to the Cowboys… 😑
Why the hell is Sean Tucker not getting snaps??? You can't say it's because of the fumble with Rachaad White putting the ball on the ground way more than Tucker.
But Rashaad can block!🙄
The same ole crap! Time for a coaching change! Can’t even stand listening to Todd’s press conferences!
Yaya Diaby is overrated, the team is too injury prone, the DBs and LBs are average at best and Bowles defense is always predictable.
I like the Vrabel Idea as an assistant HC and DC. Coen will need someone to lean on as a first time HC.
The problem with that is he is going to New England.
Y is it when our receivers are catching the ball they’re getting hit but other teams receivers are open by 10 yards ridiculous
"Im not gonna say well have it won by half time..but" lollll thinking about ahit said before they get smacked is funny asl
Who r the top options available to call the defense if Bowles gets fired?

Power is Gap
@ they didn’t pull Gs, TEs, or Ts!

David had made plays all year. He’s having a pro bowl season. He’s not great in coverage but to say he hasn’t made plays is ridiculous
This is also on Liam totally stopped running the ball got to pass happy
Def questioned why we started the game passing every down.
Pass Happy but not going to the top option
They do tend to play down to the talent
