The blistering 70 degree temperatures in Kansas City made it tough on the Bucs, Chucky said. Thanks for the laugh, coach. Please lose the lame excuses

Joe caught Chucky’s postgame news conference, which yielded a good summary of the state of the Bucs, and a ridiculous comment.

Chucky said, “We have character, and we are in a race.”

Whether you are positive or negative about the Bucs play and their outlook right now, there is no denying that the team plays hard for each other and Coach Gruden. Weak teams would have crumbled down 24-3, as the Bucs were today.

Inside the locker room, the Bucs are excited by the big comeback. This kind of win bonds a team. They’re cruising into the bye week on a huge high. It’s not the confident swagger of a championship football team, but it’s real energy. 

And that brings us to the next Gruden gem, “We were struggling, It was a hot day.”

Chucky’s come up with some stinky, funny BS this season, but this one is beyond ridiculous. C’mon, coach. You’re going to imply that the weather was a challenge and made a comeback harder?

The temperature hovered around 70 degrees through the game. That’s a fresh winter day in Tampa. And it’s likely the kickoff temperature for February’s Super Bowl at Raymond James Stadium.
