“I’m Not Letting Anybody Give Up”
December 16th, 2018
Gerald McCoy knows the scent of a losing season and the stink of quit.
Standing at his locker after today’s game in Baltimore, wearing a Christmas red blazer, lots of gold around his neck and a black winter hat, McCoy talked about how he can smell what might be coming from some of his teammates.
It was telling stuff from McCoy, considering he was not asked about effort or players getting soft in the two remaining meaningless games for the Bucs.
Here’s his verbatim take:
“I can only promise this. Me being the elder statesman on the team, I’m not letting anybody give up,” McCoy said.. “Just going to keep fighting. Now it’s a test of our will as men, more than just football. ‘How are you going to approach this as a man? Are you going to shut down and falter?’ I’ve been in these situations more than I’d like to say. People go back and look at the film. You’ll see. You’ll see who kept fighting and who didn’t. I’m going to do my best to make sure that everybody keeps fighting.”
Joe isn’t wishing away real, glorious football games, but it’s time to bury this season and look ahead.
Between McCoy’s comments and Demar Dotson talking about a satisfied-with-losing locker room at halftime, Joe might need a to hit the vodka early tonight.

I am glad they fight when the pressure of the season is off. Yes, Gerald, you have been in these losing situations more than anyone would like to say. At what point…

What a freaking clown

Really sad for Dirk man. I really like him as a HC and I wish he could’ve been our long term answer, but at the end of the day, I don’t think he is the answer. Really the downfall of Dirk is just him not being able to find ways to win. It seems like we always lose games that we should he able to win, and unfortunately, that just cant happen in the NFL.
Looking forward to a fresh start next year, and hopefully a rejuvenated roster.

I wish Jensen would just punch that little Beatch right in his comic book loving face!!!

I know, completely off subject here but is Monken calling plays or Koetter? Sommeone is full of sh!t.
December 16th, 2018 at 5:52 pm
Geraldini might go down as one of the most overrated defensive tackles in the history of football. Much more like Booger or Culpeper than Sapp!

THIS BIG FAT SOFTIE GERALD MCCOY BETTER BE THE LAST ONE TO TALK ABOUT PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh thank good we have McCoy leading the mentality of this team.
Guy couldn’t wait to get off the field and all dressed up like a Christmas Pimp.
All this fake SOB knows is losing and disappearing (AKA: Giving up). I guarantee you, no one on this team gives a sh*t what McCoy has to say. They may not disprespect him, because he does earn respect as a person, just not a leader of men on a football field
With “leaders” like this, we can expect nothing but losing.
This franchise is so f**ked.

You don’t pack it in…..ever. You try to win always….we have a chance to spoil the Cowgirls in their house if front of Jerry “My Team” Jones…..America’s Team…
Let’s see if Joe’s America’s QB can beat America’s team.
Then we have the division Falcons and a chance perhaps to put them at the bottom of the division.
If anyone thinks that there is an appreciable difference between the 13th and 16th pick…..I’m all ears.

They ran the ball right at you all day McCoy! Not once did you burry the double team and free the LB. I swear this dude has the shortest weakest arms when it comes making a tackle at the LOS. Constantly seeing backs run right through his pitiful attempts. His best play was a batted pass. What a joke.

strong words from Captain Blowout

This big fat softie Gerald McCoy taking all the glazer cash and getting tax credit by donating to charity
F GERALD MCCOY!
December 16th, 2018 at 6:04 pm
I prefer Culpepper actually. Not even close when you compare “value”. I’d even take the 200 lb. Esq. version.
December 16th, 2018 at 6:06 pm
Y does any respect Gerald McCoy?
December 16th, 2018 at 6:10 pm
So….Glazers….pay attention to these astute JBF posters……you didn’t need to jettison GMs….several coaches in order to produce a winner….all you had to do was trade GMC…..you fools!!!
December 16th, 2018 at 6:13 pm
I wonder if tough minded coaches like Tomlin or Bellichek would put up with this soft little girl?
December 16th, 2018 at 6:22 pm
Pittsburgh gets TJ Watt and we get Noah Presence.
December 16th, 2018 at 6:23 pm
Ok here’s the deal. Koetter isn’t getting to his players otherwise we wouldn’t be hearing such disparate comments from veterans. He and Mr. Licht are both to blame for this debacle. Some of these players shouldn’t even be on the roster. Could McCoy succeed in New England? Im not sure he’d be sought.He’s obviously a “good guy” but not seeing the sort of dogged commitment and nastiness (Licht’s mantra) I saw from guys like Sapp. Unfortunately the new coach and GM are going to have to clean house; I.e trade, release, not sign players like McCoy, Smith, Grimes, Benonoch ( obviously) in order to effect a true change of culture not som half assed attempt like Licht’s.
December 16th, 2018 at 6:23 pm
This site’s got a buzz on. GMC has played here for 9, count ’em, years. He is an all-Pro player who has never played in a playoff game. Quite a few teams would sign him in a nanosecond. That’s not what is posted on here. All the bots, trolls, etc. slam him. They’re phonies to start with. All this ‘Geraldine’ ‘ice creamsickle’ ‘soft little girl’ is troll baloney.

all the glazers need to look at is this embarrassing clown of a man has captained more buc blowout and loses than any captain in team history. Obviously, that says a lot when you own the leagues worst winning percentage. anyone who is a fan of this fraud should turn in man card and immediacy start using the women or tranny restrooms.

Joe Dirt is the MLB, need I say more. This team just can’t make clutch plays. They drop balls that should be 100% intercepted. Special teams are the worst ever. The head coach has no answers ever. Rojo is complete joke but Derp thinks he’s great. It was almost like they forgot how to defend RPO and DEs kept crashing in and didn’t contain. Bad teams find ways to lose and the refs were a big help again today. Refs hate the Bucs and now they just automatically want to call OPI on Mike Evans. The team is snakebit. The franchise is a complete joke. This team will never win consistently with Lichtenstein and Koetter. The defense always looks tired in the second half and they appear to have a serious conditioning problem.

Sleepy McCoy, Mr. Motivation. LMAO!
December 16th, 2018 at 6:43 pm
McCoy doing what McCoy does best: words (and losing)
December 16th, 2018 at 6:46 pm
being an optimist on a buc site means you accept losing quietly, are scared of facing reality or are on way better drugs than most. which is it bonzi, pickgrin, tbbf
December 16th, 2018 at 6:47 pm
Just beat the Cowgirls next week.
December 16th, 2018 at 6:52 pm
Look at the Bears 100 million man
Look at the Bucs 100 million man
One changes games
One changes nothing
GMC REALLY JOE I DONT UNDERSTAND UOUR LOVE FOR YHIS GUY
And y’all that slam Vea holy crap he was pushing the pocket all day
Bet his stats are better than Mr Softies

The rook from bama who went to the skins has more sacks then 93
If you are elite Gerald….. D Payne shouldn’t have more sacks then you.
December 16th, 2018 at 7:45 pm
Geraldine looks stoned or like she just had too much cookies and milk.
December 16th, 2018 at 8:30 pm
I am so sick of his nonsense and song and dance…
December 16th, 2018 at 8:37 pm
Cowboys going to kill these quitters, im gonna be wrong on 6-10
December 16th, 2018 at 9:59 pm
He’s the 16th rated DT in the NFL 😣
December 16th, 2018 at 11:01 pm
Just stupid talk coming from this guy after a losing effort. Don’t give up guys keep losing with all your heart I’m so sick of this talking at his locker after a loss instead of on the field.
I’m willing to go out on a limb and say he’s never had a 9 tackle game. Vea did that talking on the field. Geraldine sucks dude had 3 tackles today. It’s time to move on because the random sacks he’s gotten this year have made him no better, Nassib and JPP lead the team in sacks and Geraldine is done. No one gives Winston excuses for losing and this dude has done it for an entire decade. Loser mentality and the sad part is he doesn’t even know it.

GMC’s play has been disappointing along with the overall play of this entire team. There were players all over the field I was trying to figure out what the heck they were doing. LVD, even with 12 tackles was literally a spectator on the play that he was flattened. Watch the play. Grimes is “shadowing” instead of tackling on a long ball down the field. GMC is trying to arm tackle people after over-pursuit.
Just bad.
Oh, and the offense gets plenty of blame. I mean, how long do you expect defenders to keep a team from scoring? We had like 3 or 4 1st downs in the 2nd half! No defense is going to be able to stay on the field that long and NOT be winded.

Season Is Over Says:
“Pittsburgh gets TJ Watt and we get Noah Presence.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At least we finally got to hear Noah’s name called, @Season.
Very first play of the game he got a penalty called on him.
It was pretty exciting to finally hear his name called.
(eyes roll)

GMC really should just stop talking. At this point nobody FN cares what he thinks or says. This is typical Bucs BS. Trying to make chicken salad out of chicken sh@t.
I really hope Santa puts a fat turd in the Glazers stocking this year. A turd that looks and smells just their football franchise they put together. Hey!!!!maybe just put GMC in their stocking!!!! Bwhahahahahahahaha!!!!
Go Bucs!!! F the Glazers!!! Can’t wait for a new team….eventually
