Joey Johnston of the Tampa Tribune stops just short of calling out Chucky for setting up the Bucs to fail Sunday.

Joey Johnston of the Tampa Tribune comes one step away from blasting the Bucs, specifically Chucky, over the Bucs loss at Dallas Sunday.

Let’s put the blame where it belongs.

On the mentality of losing football.

That’s what the Bucs brought to Texas Stadium.

Losing football – in every way.

Simply put, the way Chucky called plays, it was like he was scared. He has a strong running game, but instead — which is becoming painfully redundant — Chucky would rather dink-and-dunk and toy with an opponent rather than putting a team away.

It doesn’t matter what level of football is played, if you don’t put the proverbial foot on the thorat of your opponent, you set yourself for a loss.

Memo to Chucky: The NFL is not soccer. The objective is not to see how many balls you can kick through a set of goalposts. The objective is to score touchdowns!
