“Hey, We Got That First Missed Extra Point Out Of The Way”
August 9th, 2018Your beloved Buccaneers marched down and scored a touchdown in their first possession tonight in Miami.
It felt like a Christmas miracle, but only for about 25 seconds.
That’s when big-money free agent kicker Chandler Catanzaro stepped up and yanked the extra point wide left.
After an exceptionally strong training camp, Catanzaro was temporarily taken over by the ghosts of Roberto Aguayo, Nick Folk, Kyle Brindza and Rian Lindell.
Bucs fans across social media — and everywhere else — were in stunned disbelief. (By the missed kick, not the quick touchdown.)
At halftime, Dirk Koetter talked to the Buccaneers Radio Network, which didn’t ask him about the blown kick, but the head coach went there anyway with his sarcasm in midseason form.
“Hey, we got that first missed extra point out of the way,” Koetter said.
That got a laugh from Joe.
Thankfully, Catanzaro settled down and made his next two extra points and a 27-yard field goal, before missing from 53 yards and hitting a 26-yarder to win the game.
Right now, the Bucs have no other kicker on the roster.

Yep and it only cost the Bucs about 3 and a half million guaranteed.

Jason Gump that master of talent evaluation.

Now now wittle Stevie, your just grumpy because it’s past your bedtime. Go drink your glass of warm milk that your mommy made for you and go to bed.

And Stevie to answer your question numb nuts that would be Rich Mckay.

Got anything to say now wittle Stevie Weevie with that miss? I didn’t think so tough guy..
August 9th, 2018 at 10:26 pm
That sounds like the ghost of John Mckay
August 9th, 2018 at 10:29 pm
Wrong!!!!
Check out all of the Mckay draft pick misses after Sam Wyche!
Do a little research before you try and challenge me you tool.
There is a reason that the Falcons don’t let Mckay draft players anymore!

@Broy… check out the thread dude… I simply stated my opinion attacking no one personally. Steve was the o e who called me an idiot. Sorry when I’m attacked I come out swinging.

@Buc believer
No one attacked you or called you an idiot. You were just asked to name a better GM than Licht. Given what you said, it was a legit question. Your response was just to taunt someone who dared to question you. You didn’t even bother to answer the question until several posts later. You’re nothing but a typical thin-skinned bully.

Man how hard can it be to find a kicker? Maybe we should hold open tryouts for cast off soccer players.

You missed those kicks Jameis Winston…

Buc Believer, your not a Buc fan, your a troll. Buc fans have intelligent conversation. You sir, are childish, never attack a fellow buccaneer brethren.

i also don’t see all the love for Licht.. After all the years in charge of the team and bucs still have a loosing record …You can’t blame the coaches because Jason hired them. nice guy but not much as a gm …so far
