no confidence….after dirk not having this team prepared in week2 followed by a coaching 101 meltdown in week3, combined with dirk’s refusal to run the ball mixed with his good friend smitty still sleeping in his basement dreaming about birds and pirates its hard to be confident….this team seems to have regressed….last in defensive points allowed….most turnovers in the league…very sloppy play…the product looks worse than ever….GO BUCS!!!!
@JOE SAYS….
Along the way, they’ve hit two unfortunate lows — they have the NFL’s worst scoring defense, giving up 101 points (33.7 per game), and in doing so, they’re the first team in 41 seasons of Bucs football to give up 100 points in the first three games of the season.
Jiminy Christmas! Joe thought with the addition of Vernon Hargreaves, Robert Ayers, Noah Spence, Brent Grimes and defensive line coach Jay Hayes along with Smith’s deep knowledge of the NFL, Joe thought sure this Bucs defense would improve by leaps and bounds.
How the hell can this defense be getting lit up like this with so many upgrades?
Meanwhile in Philadelphia, Jim Schwartz’s Eagles defense leads the NFL in points allowed having coughed up a paltry 27 points.
Pickgrin, I can’t agree with that. We allowed a team that had scorrd 9 points all year to come into our fking house and put up 37. This defense is in trouble, they are not as far along as previously thought. I don’t, hoeever, hold that as an indictment over Mike Smith, nor did I over Lovie.
I’m as confident in Koetter as the wins he produces. So far he’s 1-2. Therefore, I am not confident. Well, 1-3 counting the loss against Denver on Sunday.
One mistake there Buc1987..Koetter is in charge of the entire TEAM now. He can’t hide behind the offense like he did before. He’s responsible for the whole 9 yrds now. Everything is his fault. You guys blamed Schiano and Lovie. Koetter is no different. And Just..us for all!!
Those who are totally confident are delusional. I’ve been a Bucs fan since day one and I’ve heard all the tough talk before from players and coaches but it never changes. I hope I am wrong because it’s tough supporting a losing team each but we are headed for another losing season.
The Bucs have never had an offense as potent as we have now, Until Dirk Koetter arrived at One Buc Palace. The. Defense will come around. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Still confident
September 28th, 2016 at 12:41 pm
Verrry verry confident.
September 28th, 2016 at 12:49 pm
Totally confident!!!!
Cleaning up the mess!!! getting the house in order, then get thru this gauntlet of the schedule!!!!!
Go Bucs!!!!!!!!

Still very confident…..I like Koetter’s communication & management style & believe his players will respond to his leadership.
I would be interested in the results of a Mike Smith poll.

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE….GO BUCS!!!!
September 28th, 2016 at 1:07 pm
Totally. Like Steve Young say’s, ” it’s preseason in September”. We should have a pretty good idea what we got now. Here we go, Bucco’s, here we go!
September 28th, 2016 at 1:15 pm
Just stop it about Philly 813. If the Bucs had played the Browns and the Bears the 1st 2 games, we would be top 10 in points against as well.
September 28th, 2016 at 1:23 pm
I voted no confidence, and will continue to do so until they stop being the same old Bucs.
September 28th, 2016 at 1:45 pm
The number of people who have voted little to no confidence has doubled in the past week.
I guess Florida Hospital is doing a great job healing people with “Bucs Fever”.
September 28th, 2016 at 2:08 pm
run one on barney rubble licht and that is no confidence
September 28th, 2016 at 2:22 pm
You have to be a little bitter and butt hurt to vote no confidence
September 28th, 2016 at 2:29 pm
More confident than I ever was in Loser Lovie
September 28th, 2016 at 2:45 pm
@Pickgrin….how so?….what brings you to that conclusion after watching week2 and week3?….GO BUCS!!!
September 28th, 2016 at 2:48 pm
@Maze….what have you seen that gives you such confidence….GO BUCS!!!

September 28th, 2016 at 3:18 pm
BTW, Confident.
September 28th, 2016 at 3:23 pm
Down to little confidence.
Wont win many more games turning the ball over as much as we are.
Add to that another year of missed FGs and it will be a long year.
September 28th, 2016 at 3:25 pm
And for God sakes people stop taking the total points and lumping them all on defense like all the damn points every week are on the D.
5 flippin turnover in Zona!!!! 14 defensive points
14 defensive points against LA. 1 defensive TD and another return inside the 5.
September 28th, 2016 at 4:17 pm

September 28th, 2016 at 6:21 pm
Up from confident to very confident.
Certainly very confident in the offense and Koetter’s play calling.
In fact I’d rather have Koetter calling our plays than Jon Gruden.
Quit whining, whiners.

Mike Johnson…I don’t make mistakes. lol
What I said it was I said. I’m very confident in the offense. So confident in that offense, that I’m not worried about so much about the D just yet.
