Giants 32, Buccaneers 18
November 8th, 2015
The red zone was the dead zone.
Simple as that, as Lovie Smith likes to say. Tampa Bay could not execute and settled for field goals repeatedly.
Damn, the Bucs sure freakin’ miss Vincent Jackson and any threat from the tight end position. Three drives stalled inside the 10 yard line.
Ballgame.
A sickening stream of first-half penalties didn’t help, and five dropped passes were a killer.
The defense? Well, it got two interceptions, but offered little resistance. However, it certainly played well enough to win on this day.
Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, played well. Another no turnover game, and he finished 19-for-36 for 247 yards and an impressive rushing touchdown.
The Bucs lost a golden opportunity to be relevant in the NFC race.

par for the course on the last 2 plays. Evans another drop in the bread basket and then Mankins is the guy we throw the ball back to. LOL. This team is tough. I’m a Bucs fan for the rest of my life regardless. I just have to live with it.

What a perfect ending to a steaming pile of sh*t.
Overrated Evans Sint worth much.
Atleast Winston has some heart. Such a shame he has to play for this crap organization.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:17 pm
Please sit Mike Clayton Evans. Noone who drops the ball 5-6 times in one game or more than that needs to even be on a football team.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:17 pm
MIKE EVANS is the reason the BUCS lost
November 8th, 2015 at 7:17 pm
can’t get over the hump!
November 8th, 2015 at 7:18 pm
I wonder if Lovie sleeps with yellow sheets, cuz he sure does like those yellow hankies. But when you show up for work in flip flops, it doesn’t exactly exude seriousness and discipline.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:18 pm
Marpet 🙁
Anyways, ODB showed why we bungled that not taking him. I don’t give a crap that Evans had more yards today, when his team needed a clutch catch to win the game, he came through. Evans on the other hand, whining as usual as he gives up on his route hoping for a flag.
Defense? Pft, whatever, best performance of the year pretty much, and they didn’t get the meaningful stop and took stupid penalties yet again. Lovie’s baby should be aborted.
But Jameis Christ is our lord and savior. I’m so psyched for a new coach and better offensive weapons for him. There’s hope coming, but only when we smoke the dope
Jameis = hope
Lovie = dope

This same was on Evans
November 8th, 2015 at 7:18 pm
I’ve been a bucs fan since 86 and this is exactly the epitome of this orginazation.
Just pathetic in every sense of the word. Constantly just giving games and wins away lol.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:18 pm
When Loser Lovie’s defense has to be counted on in the 4th quarter, or ever, the Bucs lose.
Simple as that.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:18 pm
I dont know.. Winston was on point all day with at least 5 drops by Evans and 1 by Martin I think. Two of those would have been TDs on the same drive. The defense still stinks. The Giants could have put up way more points if they wanted too but they were more worried about ball control today.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:18 pm
One thing for sure, we have truly found our QB for the next 10-15 years. There is room to be positive about this game. Go Bucs!
November 8th, 2015 at 7:19 pm
Jameis can clearly lift this team to great heights. Evans cannot function as a number one receiver. He will have to forever be a number 2 barring significant improvement.
Herald McCoy now only responsible for negative plays. Wasn’t a GMC hater before today. I am now.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:20 pm
Stupid penalties, bad defense and poor game management. The trademark of Lovie Smith Buc coached teams. If not for Jameis, there would be nothing to be excited about.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:20 pm
The better team won. The Bucs hung around but never showed they could win it.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:20 pm
Sloppy, penalty-filled, drop fest.
Defense still can’t cover anyone especially with no rush
People will say some positives….and that’s the level we’ve sunk to: we lost, but it wasn’t that bad.
Lovie must go.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:21 pm
I’m optimistic about JW, but he didn’t throw a TD today, Giants have up 6 7 passing TDs last week, and Mariota threw for 4 against the same NO defense that gave up 6 last week.
So let’s just remember it’s a Buc life. our expectations are a bit “different.”
November 8th, 2015 at 7:22 pm
Maybe if ASJ didn’t feel the need to be absolutely 100% we could have made a red zone play.. We really only lost by a score. ASJ must be a liberal because he LOVES sitting on his butt and getting paid!!!
November 8th, 2015 at 7:23 pm
Gave up 7*
November 8th, 2015 at 7:23 pm
Someone help me….. did GMC play today?
November 8th, 2015 at 7:24 pm
Lets see now, Lovie takes over the defense from leslie and we digress. Still no pressure on the qb….again. Short slant routes effective play after play….again. Licht needs to step in and regulate lovie to HC duties only.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:25 pm
This was a game we could have won. Mistakes on both sides of the ball were to much to overcome. Not sure why the bucs turned away from Martin, that didn’t make much sense.

Preach good sir. Just imagine where we can go when Jameis doesn’t have a loser attitude around. Let’s just hope Lovie goes ASAP and doesn’t infect Jameis with Loserditis.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:33 pm
People keep asking if geraldine mccoy played, “yes” he did. I saw him help several Giants players up and after the game took a selfie with Eli and got Eli to sign a football.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:36 pm
Well i guess this makes up for our previous loss to the giants….when schiano rushed the kneel down 😜
November 8th, 2015 at 7:44 pm
You know as a new Bucs fan, I am almost wishing all the mm lovers had their wish and mm would have been chosen over JW. JW really deserves better than what this team has to offer! I’m disgusted! Hope I feel differently tomorrow!
November 8th, 2015 at 7:44 pm
Not even mad today. We lost due to injuries more than anything else. Have no redzone targets is what lost the game today. We needed ASJ today, we needed Jackson today.
Winston played great again, and the defense surprisingly did more than enough to win.
November 8th, 2015 at 7:53 pm
Defense played average. Don’t care how much we sing the praises of Famous Jameis. Unless you can stop somebody in this league? You are going to have to win a lot of shootouts. Our Defense sucks fellow Buc fans. And if we play D like this against the Cowboys? They will whip us too.. Does’nt matter if our O scores 30, you gotta stop their team from scoring 31. Not to worry though Buckaroos, After an A..Whippin we usually play quite well don’t we?
November 8th, 2015 at 7:57 pm
The reason the bucs lost is because they decided to go for a field goal when they were on the 5 yard line instead of going for the WIN. THATS HAS LOVIE “NO BALLS” Smith written all over that play. You always go for the win when you are trailing by two touchdowns. LOVIE HAS NO HEART!!!!
November 8th, 2015 at 7:58 pm
There is a disconnect and no accountability for that many penalties.
November 8th, 2015 at 8:07 pm
McCoy, LVD, Evans= choke. When was the last time these frauds made a game changing clutch play. Winston. marpet and Koetter are the only ones I would keep.
November 8th, 2015 at 8:30 pm
Joe that was painful to watch!! All the drops and the fumbles hurt us BIG TIME!! I consider holding the G-MEN to 26 a VICTORY with the SCRUBS we have on defense!!

I am so mad, I could spit! And I’m a girl !!!!!

Teams that get to the red zone and kick field goals will usually lose the majority of those games.
The Bucs would have won this game if they can find some players to make some plays in the red zone for JW.
Evans was an embarrassment with those drops, especially the one where he was behind his defender and the ball was perfectly thrown to him and it just went through his hands and he tried to trap it with his body and muffed it.
He needs to play like a professional and make those easy catches.
November 8th, 2015 at 8:57 pm
That guy from Clemson caught everything thrown to him
