Buccaneers-Bears Open Thread
December 27th, 2015
Will Bucs be “flat” for the third consecutive game? Joe will blow a gasket if that’s the case.
Show some pride, especially for the home fans that will be surrounded by Bears fans today at the Den of Depression.
Have your say all game long in the comments section.

December 27th, 2015 at 12:31 pm
Oh whatever, Hey Hey Hey we’re the Buccaneers, Ho Ho Ho we’re the Buccaneers, Offense Defense now we’re here to say, Make da Bears walk the plank, throw em in Tampa Bay, Hey!
December 27th, 2015 at 12:37 pm
WK16 and lovie still doesn’t know who he wants at CB?!?! Johnthan Banks is starting today, he’s and upgrade to Jude but I expect him to be rusty since he hasn’t been starting since earlier in the year. Lovie just wasted this kids year smh.
December 27th, 2015 at 12:39 pm
Checking in from Pittsburgh today. GO BUCS.
December 27th, 2015 at 12:52 pm
LETS ROLL!!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 12:53 pm
Worse fan base in the league. Pathetic fans. Not real fans on here just a bunch of haters that are as smart as a wet paper bag full of sh it.
December 27th, 2015 at 12:55 pm
Hey I’m a new and loyal fan…more of us out there! Give it time…Jameis will turn the fans around in time!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 12:56 pm
Let’s roll
December 27th, 2015 at 1:00 pm
Go Bucs!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:01 pm
@newbucsfan
I hope you’re right
December 27th, 2015 at 1:01 pm
Hoping Dougie has a HUGE day. Would love to see him win the rushing title
December 27th, 2015 at 1:07 pm
Good series by defense
December 27th, 2015 at 1:09 pm
Come on Jameis! Lets get that win for Lovie
December 27th, 2015 at 1:10 pm
Wow, they didn’t score?
Sign Lovie to an extension!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:10 pm
Wow JW just threw into triple coverage
December 27th, 2015 at 1:10 pm
I hope Sterling Moore isn’t too banged up, We need him.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:11 pm
nice throw JW!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:11 pm
They are so predictable on first down.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:12 pm
nice decision by JWW
December 27th, 2015 at 1:15 pm
JW looks great…good decision making!hes got this!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:18 pm
Nice. Coulda been a TD there but ill take it on the 5
December 27th, 2015 at 1:20 pm
great blocking for Martin
December 27th, 2015 at 1:21 pm
That’s what I’m talking about!!!!!!!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:21 pm
The games may no longer have significant meaning but it was nice to see a special teams play set one up. We haven’t had many of those. Hard to tell if Martin was in. If he wasn’t down, I would guess it would be hard to overturn that.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:23 pm
First blocked punt under Lovie’s tenure.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:28 pm
Get them!!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:29 pm
A lot of love for the Bears from the announcers.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:29 pm
Dink dunk dink dunk, the Bucs achilles heel.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:29 pm
Nice special teams play
December 27th, 2015 at 1:30 pm
Awesome!!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:31 pm
Let’s go Jw
December 27th, 2015 at 1:31 pm
A 3rd down stop????? Nice!!!
First down run coming up after commercial break
December 27th, 2015 at 1:31 pm
Lets go Doug!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:35 pm
That’s a catch
December 27th, 2015 at 1:40 pm
That was a very weak penalty call against Smith. That only happens because it’s the Bucs.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:41 pm
Nice
December 27th, 2015 at 1:41 pm
F the refs!!! Come on Jw show em!!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:43 pm
Evans just prevented a pick
December 27th, 2015 at 1:43 pm
lol evans is funny
December 27th, 2015 at 1:45 pm
JW doesn’t look sharp
December 27th, 2015 at 1:46 pm
A loser team is a loser team. Of course.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:46 pm
Typical Bucs, great play took back by penalty
December 27th, 2015 at 1:46 pm
Another dumb penalty
December 27th, 2015 at 1:46 pm
Again, that penalty is only called because we are the Bucs. Another gay call.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:47 pm
Huh?
December 27th, 2015 at 1:47 pm
WTF just happened
December 27th, 2015 at 1:47 pm
No doubt this defense is quitting now. So mentally soft, no way they recover from that.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:47 pm
Wtf!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:48 pm
When the Bucs hold a team to a field goal loser Lovie thinks that’s a stop
December 27th, 2015 at 1:48 pm
How could we have facemasked before the INT. I don’t at all understand that penalty call and nothing was shown on TV to show what happened.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:48 pm
Let’s go d
December 27th, 2015 at 1:49 pm
14-0 becomes 7-7 quick
December 27th, 2015 at 1:50 pm
That’s bucs football. lots of penalties
December 27th, 2015 at 1:50 pm
The refs every game. Laughable. The refs every effing game. Effing laughable. Tell me that the Officials aren’t out for the Bucs.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:50 pm
After today John Fox might have more wins at Ray Jay than loser Lovie
December 27th, 2015 at 1:50 pm
Went from interception to a bears TD what the hell man.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:50 pm
F’n penalties!!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:51 pm
Funny that they never showed that phantom facemask call…
December 27th, 2015 at 1:51 pm
Both those penalties were absolutely outrageous. Only happens to the Bucs.
The NFL hates the Bucs. Time to start a website that chronicles every single terrible, bullish!t call that gets called on us, and not on anyone else.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:51 pm
Two penalties now against the BUCS i just did not get.
Anybody see the Facemask ?
Legit call or not??
December 27th, 2015 at 1:51 pm
soft soft both mentally and physically…. a team takes on its coaches demeanor
December 27th, 2015 at 1:51 pm
Refs change games with one bad call. They didn’t tell us who the face mask was on or show us an y replay of it. And it was the women reference who called it. I hope next year the refs find a new team to pick on
December 27th, 2015 at 1:52 pm
anyone know who the facemask penalty was on? cornerback?
December 27th, 2015 at 1:52 pm
this tv crew absolutely sucks. no replay on a penalty that overturns a defensive td, but the next mundane running play gets shown twice. dam
December 27th, 2015 at 1:52 pm
Woman line judge threw that flag. What a c word.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:52 pm
There was no facemask that is why no replay on TV broadcast
December 27th, 2015 at 1:53 pm
Face mask on a J Smith did not happen.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:53 pm
Let’s go JW AND TEAM!!! Score!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:53 pm
Guys we are out of it. Better draft position if we lose out
December 27th, 2015 at 1:53 pm
never seen a pro team fold as quick when a call goes against them! We have a team full of soft players.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:53 pm
The NFL hates the Bucs. Absolutely horrible call. There was no penalty.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:54 pm
Damn these refs!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:55 pm
Offense has been awful the last 3 weeks
December 27th, 2015 at 1:55 pm
According to yahoo box recap it was Jacquies Smith….I missed it too and would love to see the replay.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:55 pm
Penalties are terrible yeah, but the defense immediately quits instead of stiffening up. Wish I was in Vegas, would have put $1,000 on a TD after that non-INT. Softest defense both in scheme and personnel.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:55 pm
I wore out the mute button on all these stupid commercials.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:55 pm
I hate these commentators!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:55 pm
It’s not the refs, we suck
December 27th, 2015 at 1:56 pm
Until they become consistant winners the calls will always go against them.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:56 pm
found the face mask. Verner lazily stuck his hand up to slow the receiver up and his hand got caught in the face mask. FYI, that WAS illegal hands to the face, that wasn’t a personal foul face mask.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:57 pm
Ok they just said it was Verner who did the facemask.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:57 pm
Penalties cost us four games plus today’s debacle. Fire Lovie. No control over these clowns
December 27th, 2015 at 1:57 pm
And don’t forget that the BUCS had to challenge an incomplete catch call
These refs suck
(no Offense to the female Line Judge)
December 27th, 2015 at 1:57 pm
Let’s go!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:57 pm
oh wait, they just showed it 15 minutes later. and matt millen explained it. i feel better.
December 27th, 2015 at 1:58 pm
so they nicely miss that facemask on MArtin…..BS
December 27th, 2015 at 1:58 pm
Dangit Doug protect the ball!!
December 27th, 2015 at 1:59 pm
And Martin fumbles…..again. Sigh. We are horrific
December 27th, 2015 at 1:59 pm
Fukc me
December 27th, 2015 at 1:59 pm
Chicago came to play hitting hard every play.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:00 pm
Why don’t the refs just put on Bears jerseys…it is obvious they are determined to decide all of our games.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:00 pm
Doug will now be benched by loser Lovie
December 27th, 2015 at 2:00 pm
Hands to the face or facemask, doesn’t matter. Still an auto first. Dougie hurting fantasy owners right there, clear fumble.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:00 pm
Murphy’s law kicks into gear.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:01 pm
wow….. here comes 7-14! the quit has already started. Get Lovie outta here! team hasn;t showed up last 3 weeks.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:01 pm
That’s ok…we got this! Hold em defense!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:01 pm
No one cares about fantasy!!! I care about real football
December 27th, 2015 at 2:02 pm
He was down but the refs hate us so Im not surprised.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:02 pm
Wish we would have made Chicago wear navy
December 27th, 2015 at 2:03 pm
your talking about this swiss cheese defense right?
December 27th, 2015 at 2:03 pm
They finally showed the facemask call and the refs should be burned at the stake for that weak ass call. I don’t care what this incompetent announcer that I have to listen says.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:03 pm
Tampa Tony Says:
December 27th, 2015 at 2:01 pm
No one cares about fantasy!!! I care about real football
And yet you’re a Bucs fan lol. We haven’t seen real football in years.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:04 pm
Dog Poo, agree that it doesn’t matter in the change of possession. Just not the right call. Our defense is hard to watch.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:04 pm
Here we go.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:05 pm
It’s pretty simple, Lovie has to go. this defense its pathetic. we need a new scheme. hopefully a 3-4.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:05 pm
Defense has quit. We need basically 7 new starters and new backups. And we trust Lovie the loser to do that? Its his defense full of quitters.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:06 pm
Keep pushing the hype. Lol
December 27th, 2015 at 2:06 pm
WOW we can’t stop the run
December 27th, 2015 at 2:07 pm
If the D is getting toasted they have been on the field too long and its hot out there. They will be spent in the 4th.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:07 pm
Stop this Sh@t!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:07 pm
The bears are jamming it on us
December 27th, 2015 at 2:08 pm
Have we actually stopped anyone all year?
December 27th, 2015 at 2:08 pm
These players on the D are soft.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:09 pm
Our offense has been terrible
December 27th, 2015 at 2:09 pm
OMG McCoy made a play!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:09 pm
Nice job, GMC.. I’ve been critical, but that was a Pro Bowl Play. 4 point swing
December 27th, 2015 at 2:09 pm
Held them…go Jw !!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:10 pm
Glad to see GMC showed up today
December 27th, 2015 at 2:10 pm
Why is it other teams players show up after their eliminated from the playoffs, and Tampa NEVER does? We have a loser pathetic coach whose more interested in being stubborn and unresponsive to the new NFL. The GAME has passed our coach by, FACT!!!! Can’t believe we’re going to waste another year with this guy. SMH
December 27th, 2015 at 2:10 pm
How are we still looking this bad 31 games into the Lovie era of terror? The Bears are garbage! And it’s gonna be a big struggle to win this game. This is not progress to still be struggling to beat bottom 10 NFL teams at home.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:10 pm
Let’s score in these bit;;chs
December 27th, 2015 at 2:13 pm
Sims really
December 27th, 2015 at 2:13 pm
let the implosion begin
December 27th, 2015 at 2:13 pm
JW looks like shiiit
December 27th, 2015 at 2:14 pm
Team is so far away from being good
December 27th, 2015 at 2:14 pm
The offense and offensive line have been lethargic….again. This is a bad sign that towards the end of the year, we haven’t been able to sustain offense against not great defenses.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:15 pm
I bet the people who think this is progress think Obama has been a great President.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:15 pm
YAFD = Yet Another Flat Day
December 27th, 2015 at 2:15 pm
This is a bad bears secondary and JW can’t figure it out.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:15 pm
One crap penalty, and our team puts their heads in the sand. All too familiar
December 27th, 2015 at 2:16 pm
Receivers got to get open, QB needs to get the ball out quickly.
They look like they have ever played together before.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:16 pm
We haven’t done nothing on offense.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:16 pm
17-7 at the half.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:16 pm
17-7 at halftime sounds about right
December 27th, 2015 at 2:17 pm
CA anyone say JW not that good???
December 27th, 2015 at 2:17 pm
Occasionally, this offense should call an easy quick throw, especially on third and mid short. We need a receiver to get open on the break.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:17 pm
Why Simms?
December 27th, 2015 at 2:17 pm
nice D
December 27th, 2015 at 2:18 pm
Cutler 12-14, JW, the savior ???
December 27th, 2015 at 2:18 pm
The D is done.
They look wipped. Giving up
December 27th, 2015 at 2:18 pm
This Defense is putrid. Never anything resembling a pass rush from the front 4.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:18 pm
Bucnutz your not a bucs fan so stfu. Jameis is the best thing on this team and you are always the one saying he “looks like sh1t” you might be slow. And Eddie Goldman ripped his helmet off on that sack. Of course the refs don’t see that. These bad refs are starting to get dangerous
December 27th, 2015 at 2:19 pm
I’m at the game. How did we go from an interception to a penalty? Pisses me off beyond all belief. I didn’t see it?
December 27th, 2015 at 2:19 pm
Wow….this second half could be Lovie’s future all of a sudden. If they quit he has to go. And they look mighty close to quitting…
December 27th, 2015 at 2:19 pm
Nuthead, been tracking your posts for a while. Your bias is amazing. MM led his team to the first pick in next years draft and got his head coach fired. That would be better how?
December 27th, 2015 at 2:19 pm
Anyone know what the bucs defense completion percentage is for opposing QBs?
Has to be over %80 right? that’s ridiculous.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:20 pm
The Bears have no weapons but are killing us
December 27th, 2015 at 2:20 pm
cutler 13 for 16! laughable! the quit for better draft picks in a game earlier than last year!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:21 pm
And McCoy hurt again.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:21 pm
Laugh at culter but he looks a LOT better than JW
December 27th, 2015 at 2:21 pm
Jameis and the Bucs set for a second half comeback. Wishful thinking.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:22 pm
Lovie is a defencive coach and has a team that he had picked that can’t play D.
He will be gone after next season if they don’t have a drastic turnaround and get really good.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:22 pm
Can we draft a new defensive scheme! Embarrassing how every QB is perfect against us
December 27th, 2015 at 2:23 pm
Yup this game is going just how I expected it to.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:23 pm
Lovie couldn’t motivate if his life depended on it. I hope his job depends on it.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:23 pm
Hey you jerks out there. Jw stinks of far. Take off your rose colored glasses.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:23 pm
@Bucnut…
You mean to tell me the 9 year veteran looks better than the rookie?
shocker.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:23 pm
Lovie’s defense is OFFENSIVE!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:23 pm
so
December 27th, 2015 at 2:24 pm
Without the punt block this is a total laugher. I’m watching a lot of the Jets game and Lovie should be fired for that game too. Jets look great against the Pats. We’d be down 35-0 by now. Disgusting team and coaching.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:24 pm
If Lovie stays he needs to get a true defensive coordinator new scheme or we are screwed next year.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:24 pm
Time for a new coach, and a new quarterback.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:25 pm
REAL fans want us to succeed and don’t make excuses for any player.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:27 pm
only 1o minutes of possessing the ball…smh
December 27th, 2015 at 2:27 pm
HIRE Gene Chizik as DC!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:27 pm
Start Glennon in the 2nd half, this team needs a spark and Winston isn’t making it happen.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:28 pm
lol! the Stork is not the answer!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:28 pm
We don’t need a new coach, the NFL needs new refs.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:32 pm
When QBs put career numbers in completions, you are bound to lose most games. Coverage is way tooooo soft
December 27th, 2015 at 2:33 pm
I ask my question, why would you want a guy who had his coach fired, team played worse through the season and set his team up for the first pick in the draft over a guy whose helped his team triple their victory total?
That being said, until we announce that Winston is moving to Defensive end or Safety or CB, you need to take of the white hood or orange and blue glasses regarding your opinions that he is the issue.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:34 pm
Jameis has struggled so far but butnut for you not to call out Martin, whose fumbled killed that drive, just shows you simply are rooting against Jameus so why don’t you just find a new team as he isn’t going anywhere so you should.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:34 pm
That’s ok…McCoy will rally the defense in the second half. That is if he doesn’t do his normal disappearing act after making one play.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:34 pm
Teddy Bridgewater carved up the Bear’s defense and threw 4 TD passes last week. Anybody thing Teddy is better than JW?
December 27th, 2015 at 2:34 pm
Something needs to change cos the defense sucks.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:35 pm
I think that some of our fans are still biased against Winston for the same reasons they were biased against Doug Williams.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:36 pm
NDOG you are correct sir. Doug’s fumble was huge.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:38 pm
I am rooting FOR JW. I just don’t think his is yet the SAVIOR that some of you and the JOES think.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:38 pm
Supersam stfu you’re Either blind or just stupid to say that jameis Winston isn’t good. For Pete sake this team was actually in playoff talk this year. Something we never accomplished with Glennon as the starter.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:38 pm
Look at the Jets. In One Effing Year. Defending Lovie is a pathetic exercise. Todd Bowles takes a dump on Lovie.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:38 pm
The Bears have a bad defense and JW has yet to figure it out
December 27th, 2015 at 2:39 pm
Theres only 1 guy to blame for our team constantly being dismantled by inferior teams on a weekly basis. And its not Winston.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:40 pm
God, Matt Millen is freaking annoying.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:42 pm
JW is good at handing off
December 27th, 2015 at 2:43 pm
Great play by JW
December 27th, 2015 at 2:43 pm
Like I said, Winston is not the problem! WOOOOO
December 27th, 2015 at 2:43 pm
50 Yd touchdown! Still doubting Winston @supersam
December 27th, 2015 at 2:45 pm
As is the weekly sermon
Jameis Christ = Hope
Lovie = Dope
Until we smoke the dope, the hope cannot come to fruition.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:45 pm
No flag? Really?
December 27th, 2015 at 2:45 pm
who was it that called fer the Stork? lol
December 27th, 2015 at 2:46 pm
Nice drive boys
December 27th, 2015 at 2:46 pm
Great blocking!0
December 27th, 2015 at 2:47 pm
Go bucs!!!!!!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:47 pm
I have to hurry and get a comment in while the Bucs have the lead. Go Bucs!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:47 pm
it was a 3 man rush! should damn well be good blocking.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:49 pm
My inner fan:
Let’s get fired up! Let’s get fired up!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:51 pm
That was a stop! Nice play Moore.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:51 pm
I think Sterling Moore has earned his spot on the team next year.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:52 pm
Refs and that spot though.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:52 pm
No WAY a first down.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:52 pm
looked like a good spot for Da’Bears, bad spot for the Bucco’s.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:52 pm
Ref’s Bears jerseys showing again.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:53 pm
Not even close on either challenge
December 27th, 2015 at 2:54 pm
Hey bucnutz in sure the titans are always looking for new fans. Go to their website
December 27th, 2015 at 2:54 pm
Watch them call holding on Rainy next time…lol
December 27th, 2015 at 2:54 pm
near side line judge appears to be missing a bunch of calls for us and making a bunch against
December 27th, 2015 at 2:56 pm
Todd Bowles will win more in 1 year with the jets than loser Lovie will in 2 years here.
The play calling on first down is awful
December 27th, 2015 at 2:57 pm
Jimbo- been a Bucs fan for 25 years.Not going anywhere, just a realist fan
December 27th, 2015 at 2:57 pm
Running Martin on 1st down is the only call.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:58 pm
Under throw by JW
December 27th, 2015 at 2:58 pm
Sometimes I wonder why its been so long since I’ve been back on the JBF comment section… and then I decide to read threads like this and remember why.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:58 pm
JW missed but evans must jump on that deep ball
December 27th, 2015 at 2:59 pm
Good throw and great protection
December 27th, 2015 at 2:59 pm
Here we go again!!!!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 2:59 pm
Someone besides Evans needs to get open.
December 27th, 2015 at 2:59 pm
new- you can’t jump on an UNDER thrown ball
December 27th, 2015 at 2:59 pm
Would’ve loved to see Evans go up strong with both hands there….
But Jameis could’ve thrown a better ball.
Great catch on 3rd down.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:00 pm
Come on!!!!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:00 pm
brate will jump
December 27th, 2015 at 3:01 pm
Cameron Brate with the hands. Nice throw JW.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:01 pm
BRRRRATE!!!!! BRRRRRRATE!!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:01 pm
Brate was open early, JW missed seeing him.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:01 pm
Nuts, you see NFL receivers do it for every game!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:01 pm
JW- great job coming back to Brate
December 27th, 2015 at 3:02 pm
Nuts, you will never be responded to again.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:02 pm
Trade or cut ASJ and roll with Brate. Better and smarter.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:03 pm
Looking forward to a healthy ASJ next year and what type of schemes Koetter plans on using for some 2 TE sets with Brate.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:04 pm
@LIDP…
Get over it. ASJ will be here next year, guaranteed.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:05 pm
JW just cost us 3 points, horrible decision
December 27th, 2015 at 3:05 pm
And that’s where Jameis has got to learn to give up on the play. The O Line ole’d the whole blitz and Winston put his trust in a receiver that is a RB. Can’t throw them up for grabs. That cost us 3 points on a stupid rookie decision.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:06 pm
That’s ok….LETS PLAY BALL!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:06 pm
Please put Glennon in.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:06 pm
Bad decision on Winston, but I can see why he thought that Sims could make the play.
Tough break, but **it happens.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:06 pm
Show up defense!!!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:07 pm
Awful decision
December 27th, 2015 at 3:07 pm
@Supersam…
No.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:07 pm
So where are all of the JW is savior posters?
December 27th, 2015 at 3:07 pm
Watch your brothers back!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:08 pm
JW is our savior Nut. Get on with your life and deal with it. It’s not even a debate.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:08 pm
The Lord didn’t become the savior in one day. Jameis will get there eventually. Lovie has no hope though. He’s beyond salvation. He also has Judas tendencies so we can’t have him betraying our Lord.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:08 pm
Here’s what I find HILARIOUS….
Some of you will say, “well, we’re not going to the playoffs. might as well tank and lose out for a better draft position” (which, i feel is the stupidest thing, by the way)…. and then in the next breath, get upset when something bad happens…
I think I’m just going to make a list of the fools on this board and just scroll past their posts…
December 27th, 2015 at 3:10 pm
Rainey can’t be our return guy. We just can’t afford his hands. He’s muffed too many and just doesn’t do enough.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:10 pm
Just two very bad teams. It’d be nice to be destroying this awful team. But we can’t.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:10 pm
Dougie lol. Brutal man,
December 27th, 2015 at 3:11 pm
Martin has a fumbling problem
December 27th, 2015 at 3:11 pm
Well fuk.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:11 pm
That hurts!!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:12 pm
The only person on this team with sure hands in Cameron brate.
We have every opportunity to put this game away and instead just keep giving it away.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:12 pm
Our offense is bumbling this game away especially Martin.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:12 pm
smh. I can’t believe Lovie turned the ball over again….
He’s garbage. Fire him now.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:13 pm
Lol @ celly
December 27th, 2015 at 3:13 pm
The draft position thinkers should be happy. I’m not.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:13 pm
Its about to be bears lead
December 27th, 2015 at 3:13 pm
@Bucnut….
You said that you can’t jump on an underthrown ball….
What was that that Julio just did?
December 27th, 2015 at 3:13 pm
Holy crap
December 27th, 2015 at 3:14 pm
If we’re out of the top 5 in drafting (which we will be) then losing for draft position wont really matter. Id rather see the guys play hard so we can figure who we bring back next year….and cut the ones who give up or just flat out suck.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:15 pm
They do so much every game to give the game away.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:15 pm
Doug is benched forever now
December 27th, 2015 at 3:15 pm
Our team is not any better than when Schiano was fired. Lovie has not improved this team one iota since getting here. The only crutch people have to defend him is drafting Jameis, which he “earned” through incompetence.
Supporting Lovie Smith is supporting this team being a loser team forever. It’s as simple as that.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:15 pm
McCoy praying for an injured opponent?
He’s trash. Cut him or trade him. What a bust.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:15 pm
Unless this d gets a turnover they don’t stop anyone
December 27th, 2015 at 3:18 pm
Its either they suck or they are awesome….come on guys, this is an average team on the rise. Everyone is so schizophrenic.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:20 pm
If we celebrated like that after a touchdown there would be a flag for excessive celebration. But if it’s against us, no penalty.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:21 pm
Yes! touchdown Bears. REAL fans want us to lose out. JW needs LOTS of help. The higher the draft choices the better!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:21 pm
The cover nobody defense strikes again.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:22 pm
Sam Rosen is the worst broadcaster in history.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:22 pm
I don’t know ONE REAL fan that would prefer a loss vs a win.
Please don’t ever speak for me.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:23 pm
“Lovie Smith, who pioneered the cover-no-one scheme, which is distinctly different from cover-0, has gone on to win nothing…”
December 27th, 2015 at 3:24 pm
Evans drop
December 27th, 2015 at 3:24 pm
Evans evans evans….smdh….
December 27th, 2015 at 3:24 pm
Not an easy catch, but top WRs make that. Evans isn’t that.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:24 pm
under throw to Dye
December 27th, 2015 at 3:25 pm
Winston is putting the ball on the money. These receivers don’t have the ability that we thought they did. Go up and get the damn ball like a real receiver does. These are plays that should be made by the receivers.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:25 pm
Our WR coach needs to be fired. These guys can’t catch and still don’t know how to attack the ball on the highest point.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:26 pm
I don’t think that was catchable. It was just beyond his reach.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:26 pm
Game. set match. Can anyone say 6-9
December 27th, 2015 at 3:26 pm
Bad drop by Evans, but Winston could’ve placed the ball more to the inside vs the outside.
Evans will get blame because of all the drops he’s had this season…
As I’m typing….
Would’ve liked to see Dye go up and try to make a hands catch vs a body catch.
Guess the Draft Position guys have something to cheer about.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:26 pm
It ain’t over yet.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:26 pm
Not the kind of drive I was expecting.
Trying to do to much too soon.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:27 pm
Cmurda- keep dreaming. JW is accurate on 50% of his throws
December 27th, 2015 at 3:27 pm
Winston’s arm strength is not 10+ it’s an 8, he’s not quite getting the ball far enough out there so these guys can maintain the separation they are earning on the line.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:27 pm
This is a really sh*tty way to end the season.
It’s a season of lost opportunities and this team, as talentless and sack-less ass they are has really underachieved.
Except for a few guys, this team sucks.
Siege this!
Go Sucs!
Losers!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:28 pm
Celly, Sort of like Cameron Brate did? Exactly, the best Qbs in the game throw the ball the same way but receivers go get it if they are #1’s or in Dye’s case, if you belong in the top 3 which he does not.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:28 pm
USMC u are correct. Prepare to be attacked
December 27th, 2015 at 3:30 pm
Think this game is over. One more bears scores and we are done
December 27th, 2015 at 3:30 pm
Cutler running like Steve Young. What a joke.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:31 pm
I’m disappointed in McCoy. That dude is not earning the contract. He’s not playing like a Top 5 drafted guy.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:31 pm
SHUT THE FU CK UP BUCNUTS. u are a LOSER just like LOVIE. you have the loser mentality that this team is trying to get rid of. Got be a fuc in titans fan and swing from MM d!ck
December 27th, 2015 at 3:31 pm
3rd and 7 mccoy gets a one on one and cutler runs through his gap for the first. That’s my point Hawaiian! This drive is for the game and McCoy disappears while getting a one on one.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:32 pm
Hire Jombo- you aoudad upset??? is the truth upsetting?
December 27th, 2015 at 3:32 pm
sound
December 27th, 2015 at 3:33 pm
Hire Jumbo- how about that Cutler pass???
December 27th, 2015 at 3:34 pm
Bucs are what you need at a bar at 2am in a woman: loose and easy to penetrate the middle hole.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:34 pm
No I just don’t play well with idiots
December 27th, 2015 at 3:34 pm
6-8 record followed by four horrific, unforgivable losses to finish a dismal 6-10. I’m not impressed with this team at all. Fire Lovie for ineptness. His coaching and lack of instilling discipline is why we suck
December 27th, 2015 at 3:36 pm
How about thet FG?
December 27th, 2015 at 3:36 pm
Lovie, has not learned how to defend the slant even after getting torched by every team.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:36 pm
And that’s how a long FG is converted. I haven’t seen that in a little bit.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:38 pm
Hire Jimbo – in that case you should eliminate all self talk. Good luck!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:39 pm
Bucnutz GO TO A TITAN SITE THEY WILL LIKE U THERE. NOBODY LIKES U HEAR. YOUR OPINION IS NOT WANTED.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:39 pm
here comes the SAVIOR
December 27th, 2015 at 3:41 pm
Three plays that killed them.
1-Interception that was called back because a penalty could have been 3 Pts Min.
2-Winston INT could have been 3 Pts.
3- Martins Fumble
December 27th, 2015 at 3:41 pm
Can we stop saying that Mike Clayton Evans will be fine?
December 27th, 2015 at 3:42 pm
JW only looks good when defense is tired
December 27th, 2015 at 3:42 pm
Simms tip toes rqminds me of Pittman.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:43 pm
Bumbling offense. Hawley is in La la land too. Jeez.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:43 pm
Every time you get some hope the blow it up.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:43 pm
Only the Bucs…
December 27th, 2015 at 3:43 pm
no good
December 27th, 2015 at 3:44 pm
Add a Fg kicker on to the Christmas list for next year. Barth is incapable of anything beyond 45 and usually 45 too.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:44 pm
game over. JW sucks
December 27th, 2015 at 3:44 pm
Lovie has lost to the Bears twice now lol. Biggest loser in the NFL. But keep defending him Lovie Loser Crew.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:44 pm
We will need a kicker again next year.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:45 pm
Barth has become the most un-clutch kicker there is. Needs to be replaced. Same with half the D. And at least 2 of our WRs.
Damn that’s a lot of holes to fill.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:45 pm
Game over. The Bucs suck.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:45 pm
I guess the refs will have a drink and a laugh in Chicago tomorrow night and the fans will pick up the tab.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:45 pm
I can’t believe Lovie just rolled that snap back to Jameis AND THEN missed the FG.
He’s garbage. Fire him. Another coach would’ve made the proper snap and made that FG.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:45 pm
The struggle is real
December 27th, 2015 at 3:45 pm
Really
December 27th, 2015 at 3:46 pm
So it’s loves fault martin fumbles twice and Barth can’t kick. Got it.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:46 pm
#itsabucslife
December 27th, 2015 at 3:46 pm
Lovie can’t even coach on Schiano’s level.
Sad, sad football team.
Why does Lovie get an opportunity to return for year 3 in 2016?
WE SUCK
LOVIE’s D needs to DO SOMETHING!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:47 pm
Offseason needs- quarterback, Head Coach, Center, Kicker, entire secondary, right tackle, Defensive ends. We’re close guys were close.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:47 pm
On a good note….kitties undefeated season is about to end.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:48 pm
HA!! Undefeated NO MORE!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:48 pm
Well look on the bright side. When we lose next week that will b a 4 game losing streak to end the year and very well might get LOSER LOVIE fired
December 27th, 2015 at 3:48 pm
Koetter will be HC elsewhere next year
December 27th, 2015 at 3:48 pm
Celly has marked himself as a loser. For shame sir. Come to the winning side of eliminating Lovie the Loser.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:48 pm
ndog,
Who answers for piss poor place kicking and a RB that can’t hold the ball? Ultimately coaching becomes accountable.
Don’t forget the penalties on this team.
Lovie is no where near the coach Greg Schiano is.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:48 pm
The run defense today is so damn pathetic, there are no words.
I’ll see you guys next week so I can scream and complain about how absolutely miserably terrible this team is. Again. Can’t wait!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:48 pm
Game over
December 27th, 2015 at 3:49 pm
Lavonte is a bum.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:49 pm
Bucs
L
O
L
December 27th, 2015 at 3:49 pm
You guys are delusional if you think Lovie is getting fired.
Unfortunately, that’s not happening.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:50 pm
Yeah, when the team can’t get out of its own way en route to losing against terrible football teams how dare the fans point a finger at incompetent Lovie Smith. Poor little lovable Lovie Dovie having to field criticism for this miserable football team he trots out every week. Life is so unfair.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:50 pm
Refs were the issue here.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:50 pm
Panthers lost so we’re in for a beating next week too.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:51 pm
Lovie Train Rolls on. Nothing is his fault..He is only the leader of this team…
Maybe it’s the soft a$$ coaching style.
Maybe it’s No other team wanted this Loser. as he sat in his basement.
Maybe it’s his POOR DEFENSIVE Calls..
But we are getting better We are doing somethings better.
We look Worse than against Atlanta.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:51 pm
Just an unacceptable performance by the Bucs, scrubs and otherwise. If you make the Bears look good, then you are bad.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:51 pm
Beat by the bears at home in our house…we are fighting for that 4th place in our division….can you dig it…
December 27th, 2015 at 3:52 pm
After todays loss and next week’s loss to the Panthers they would have lost 5 of the last 6 games. That is not what a good team does and its not going in the right direction no matter how much Lovie thinks so.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:52 pm
This defense sucks, isn’t our head coach the defensive play caller and known to be a defensive guru?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Lovie is going to get a third year, when Schiano could not? Dumb azz Bucs Dumb azz Bucs
WE CALL THIS FOOTBALL?
How about our $100 million DT, the keystone to Lovie’s Defense….. Damn, we are just getting pushed around.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:53 pm
Lovie’s Seat just got HOT again, losing to too many bad teams,
December 27th, 2015 at 3:54 pm
Soggy- I think incompetent Lovie Smith has them fighting for 5th place
December 27th, 2015 at 3:54 pm
See you guys….I have a date with a woodpile and an axe to work off some steam….see you soon, GOOOO BUUCCS!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:54 pm
2 more minutes of Lovie ball.
Please keep the excuses flowing, Lovie apologists, aka SHEEP
December 27th, 2015 at 3:55 pm
@ATrain…
So, let me get this straight…
All the bad things that happen are because of Lovie, but all the good things that happen are in spite of Lovie.
That’s the logic that everyone has on this board, apparently.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:55 pm
We’re worse than the Raheem Morris and Schiano days. Wow. That is bad. Teams have figured out all you have to do is pressure Winston and he’ll throw off his back foot into double coverage every time.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:56 pm
HAHAHAHAhahaha Cam just got mugged!!!!
December 27th, 2015 at 3:56 pm
Look at all those NFL Head Coaching opportunities that were beating down Schiano’s door when he got fired….
December 27th, 2015 at 3:56 pm
It’s been hot. Lovie is the worst coach in nfl. Maybe when indy fires Pagano we can pick him up or just promote koetter
December 27th, 2015 at 3:57 pm
We should stop fooling ourselves this team is not close at all.
We need so much, Receivers we have 1/2 a receiver on the field.
VJ is too old. Evans is out standing talent but he is what he is.
He is not just all the sudden going to start catching the ball.
So he is a #2 who will always thrill and disappoint at the same time.
The rest of those guys don’t belong on the field.
But the needs are endless OL DL the whole secondary Kicker and TE
You cant get all that in 1-2 drafts.
The positives JW Brate Linebackers RB thats it.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:58 pm
As I said, more of the same crap. If Lovie returns, next year will be more of the same. I dont know how anyone can continue to defend this coach who simply can not get his team prepared enough to compete with other bad teams.
Good news is we get a better draft spot and after next weeks loss, which is highly likely to Carolina’s back up’s, maybe the Glazers will start paying attention to how poorly coached this team is.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:58 pm
Look how much I don’t even bother with the likes of SuperClown and Buttnut0 anymore.
One week they say they accept the kid and are happy with him. The next week they go back on the attack.
You 2 deserved to be ignored. Your comments speak for themselves.
December 27th, 2015 at 3:58 pm
Lovie is overrated will always be the Achilles heel of this franchise.
That is all
December 27th, 2015 at 3:59 pm
I’m back on broad get rid of lovie
December 27th, 2015 at 3:59 pm
We need a billboard
December 27th, 2015 at 3:59 pm
Here we go, can our defensive head coach call the right plays to stop his former team and QB.
Lovie Smith is not on the same coaching level as Rutgers Schiano.
New Jersey D1 Football programs have better coaching.
We fired Schiano for this brand of football?
THIS SUCKS
MERRY CHRISTMAS, MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE CAN HAVE A COACH WIN US SOME GAMES IN DECEMBER.
5-9 Bears, about to drop the Bucs.
Way to go, Lovie!
Can’t wait to read the media and hear the media say that it isn’t Lovie’s fault.
I respect Joe’s assessment that 6 wins allows Lovie to return in 2016, but what about closing the year our on a 4 game losing streak?
Is losing ok?
This team is trash. I am so stoked I got a Buccaneer trash can for christmas, as our team is trash. It symbolizes so much.
December 27th, 2015 at 4:00 pm
Couch you’re right the back ups for Carolina are capable of beating us, but the announcers just said Carolina needs to win next week for home field.
December 27th, 2015 at 4:01 pm
Somehow a 6-9 record sounds about right. Mediocrity reigns supreme. Flaky pushovers.
December 27th, 2015 at 4:03 pm
Terrible performance. Team has regressed.
December 27th, 2015 at 4:03 pm
Too little too late.
December 27th, 2015 at 4:03 pm
Oh well, injuries and young players lost this game today. Stinkcats also lost to the Dixie Chicks. I was hoping for 8-8. It took Dungy, his assistants and his players several years to get to the point where they could beat the refs as well as the opposite team. At least, all the yapping about Koetter leaving will shuttup on here. I’m very optimistic about next season. This offense showed its youth today. It will be more mature when it hits the field in 2016. The emphasis will be on the defense in the off-season where it should be. Anywho, go Bucs!!
