  1. Chris L Says:

    I never follow these threads but surprised people are mean. Or should I be? Buc fans always argue with each other with such vitriol. I wonder if other fan bases are like this.

  2. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Will the Bucs perform today like my Porsche, or like my old 1984 Chevy Cavalier with 4 on the floor? We’ll know the answer very soon. I sure don’t want to see a bunch of 3 and outs to start the game.

  3. Dewey Selmon Says:

    The beer is cold and the joints are rolled. GO BUCS!!! lovie is unemployed. again

    We should know by 00.00
    Whether we are talking NFL Draft on Monday… BTW …Wild Card is not part of the NFL Playoffs!

  5. DoooshLaRue Says:

    Yeah….. no meanies allowed.

  6. B.D Says:

    some agree with you and some dont, get over yourself

  7. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Dewey, why roll joints when you can vape and eat edibles? You’re like my wife who is old school as well and still loves to smoke em if she got em.

  8. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Ok. We deferred to the 2nd half. Hold them to 3 boys.

  9. rrsrq Says:

    Well, here we go

  10. Bucfan81 Says:

    If we lose this game kiss the playoffs goodbye. This is the most important game since the Bucs last made the playoffs.

  11. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Tackling still sucks

  12. Craig Says:

    Hope our coordinators are rested and able to stay awake this week.

  13. B.D Says:

    if they dont win they dont need to be in , this is the playoffs

  14. rrsrq Says:

    SHAAAQQQQ

  15. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Thank you Shaq! Love the Grateful Dead bumper music!

  16. The Daily Coroner Says:

    First Viking possession Cousin under pressure escapes up the Vita Vea-less middle. Yep. Affects the backend terribly.

  17. TomTerrific Says:

    Establish the running game and work a good even mix of passing in there. Give them death by1000 cuts. Go Bucs!!!!

  18. AlteredEgo Say: Your comment is awaiting moderation. Says:

    Pressure in on BL and BA now !

  19. Rico 210 Says:

    Great start so far let’s go O

  20. SRG Says:

    I guess a week later did meant really great off

  21. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Brady had Gronk! Damn it!

  22. Of course Says:

    3rd and 3. Just HAD to go deep huh?

    Forget the 3 yards. Just bombs away.

  23. bucs_1 Says:

    YES 3RD AND SHORT GOING FOR THE BOMB HAHAHAHA

  24. Of course Says:

    3 and out first possession.

    Wouldn’t expect anything less.

  25. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    That is what kills our drives…..long pass on 3rd & 3…..

  26. Beej Says:

    might have been good place for play-action….

  27. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Terrapin Station, Cumberland Blues. Way to go Fox! Love the tunes!

  28. Of course Says:

    Who the FCK is calling these kinds of plays.

    Just get the first downs. The easy ones. Take your chances later after you get in a rhythm.

  29. Rico 210 Says:

    Brady won’t miss that again

  30. Of course Says:

    Just get the easy first downs. Move the chains.

  31. Of course Says:

    Get in a rhythm then take those chances.

    Who s calling this crap?

    Seriously?

  32. EA Says:

    Same pass by Brady, he’s cutting drives short and hanging the defense out to dry

  33. Ftmyersbuc Says:

    As suspected they changed nothing.

    First 3rd and 3……20+ yard pass incomplete.

    F you ba idiots

  34. Buczilla Says:

    Man, Brady should complete that 3rd down pass to Gronk in his sleep. Looks like he’s off again this week.

  35. spicoli Says:

    Brady missed on that throw, relax lol

  36. Logan Says:

    There’s nothing more frustrating to me than our continual 3rd and shorts and throwing deep. Forget long sustained drives let’s just throw it deep and go take a seat.

  37. TBTeddy Says:

    Man Brady can’t be on that BS today 😑.

  38. Rico 210 Says:

    What game you watching. We got one first down. Pass to Godwin. Keep up

  39. Kobe Faker Says:

    Looks like Arians is calling the plays with the playsheet in front of him

    It was a great call and gronk was behind the safety

    Bad pass great design

  40. TRS Says:

    Come on Defense!

  41. Of course Says:

    Oh ok sheesh. One first down. Wow. Super feel better now taking a deep shot on 3rd and 3 on the opening drive.

  42. Beej Says:

    lots easier to pass on third and short than 3rd and 7

  43. Of course Says:

    It’s only a great call if it works and it didn’t.

  44. SRG Says:

    I thought the Bucs were good at stopping the run.

  45. Bucamania Says:

    SMB is TOAST

  46. Daddylonglegs Says:

    It’s difficult having any confidence in this defense!!

  47. Jmarkbuc Says:

    23 still blows

  48. Of course Says:

    And our defense is exactly why you just take the easy first downs to keep those bums off the field.

    Long drives. Stop the stupid bombs away crap every single week.

  49. Wesley Says:

    SMB sucks

  50. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Our back end is soft as Charmin!

  51. Curse of Gruden Says:

    Maybe the Glazers can fly Lovie here by halftime to help the D.

  52. Bucamania Says:

    I guess the bye didn’t stop the stupid pre snap penalties

  53. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    SOFT coverage still haven’t learned

  54. Wesley Says:

    B.S. call there.

  55. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Stupid penalty!

  56. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Here we go again with the offsides…

  57. TRS Says:

    Come on, Suh.

  58. Of course Says:

    Our defense needs to be seated as much as possible.

    Our offense just needs to keep getting first downs. Every week 3rd and short and they bomb it and kill drives.

    So sick of it. And our defense just gives up easy yards all day.
    And look at our defense. Gives up easy 3rd down conversion.

  59. TRS Says:

    And they get the first. Smh.

  60. Beej Says:

    and, the defense WOULD have been off the field

  61. Of course Says:

    Another first down.

  62. Bucfan81 Says:

    Hey look another missed tackle

  63. Jmarkbuc Says:

    If we could tackle, we could get off the field… that has nothing to do with our offense.

  64. Boltsfan17 Says:

    Terrible effort by Davis on that tackle. Wanted no part of Cook.

  65. Wesley Says:

    Holy crap we’re not even gonna make the playoffs. I hate football.

  66. Of course Says:

    Every week same SH!!!T.

  67. Anonymous Says:

    This secondary is just trash.

  68. TRS Says:

    Where’s the #1 run defense???

  69. DBS Says:

    Well how much longer before we get the the they are tired excuse?

  70. Bucamania Says:

    These knuckleheads can’t make a tackle

  71. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Looks like we think we’re still on the bye week.

  72. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    Here comes a td. D already tired

  73. EA Says:

    Cook is guaranteed to get at least 4 yards per Carry, there’s nothing bucs can do about it, it’s gonna be a long day like it was expected.

  74. Daddylonglegs Says:

    One offensive possession in the first quarter……. not gonna cut it.

  75. Wesley Says:

    This team has no balls.

  76. Boltsfan17 Says:

    Such a mediocre underachieving underwhelming underperforming blah team.

  77. Logan Says:

    ”we had a great practice this week” I can hear Arians already after the loss.

  78. Bucs4Life Says:

    cards winning againist the gmen and bucs today, bucs are out of the playoffs

  79. Swanee22 Says:

    Nelson stinks on solo tackling along with our entire defense. 7-0 in 3 plays.

  80. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Coming off a bye week and we look EXACTLY the same as the last 4 weeks.

    BA/BL/Bowles are failing this team.

  81. rodmunch74 Says:

    Why does Aikman continue to say the defense is good?

  82. Daddylonglegs Says:

    Defense has regressed horribly since Vea has been out.

  83. Ftmyersbuc Says:

    FIRST QUARTER

    VIKINGS RAN 22 PLAYS
    BUCS 5 PLAYS

    THINK OUR DEFENSE IS TIRED HMMM???

  84. Bucamania Says:

    Agree. This team has no balls.

  85. TRS Says:

    Logan, you nailed it about Arians speak.

  86. SRG Says:

    Not impressed with any of the bye week adjustments the Bucs made. It looks like the coaches spent a lot of time planning their own offseason golf.

  87. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    1st question gone already! Guess this happens when one qb hits wide open receivers and one doesn’t

  88. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Hey, at least we held them to just around 100 yards of offense….in the FIRST QUARTER…lol

  89. Curse of Gruden Says:

    Obviously, didn’t use the bye week to work on tackling.

  90. Anonymous Says:

    The D-line was making the secondary look good. Without Vea, it changes everything

  91. Logan Says:

    No self scouting happened this past week. What does this coaching staff do during the week?

  92. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Defense Rules

    What say you?

  93. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Sooooooo, anybody seen any real adjustments made from the bye week???????? I can’t see a difference except the sack on the first MN possession and 1 first down on our first possession. Otherwise, looks like the same team from all of November except against Carolina. Mmmmmmmmm, not looking good.

  94. Of course Says:

    And people actually thought this crap defense and an offense that is stupid and doesn’t just get first downs but wants to see how few plays they can run would run the table and beat the Vikings starting off who have 2 fast receivers and a great RB?

    They learned and worked on NOTHING during the bye week. Obviously.

    We will lose 1 game to the falcons. So this is a must win. And not looking good so far. We’ve had the ball about 2 minutes.

    Please move this franchise to London

  95. JA Says:

    Bucs D-the defense that keeps on giving.
    Usually it’s just through the air. Today, they’re allowing the running game into the opponent’s fun fest.

  96. TRS Says:

    Great that Goodell showed up for this…

  97. Of course Says:

    NO ADJUSTMENTS DURING THE BYE.

    AND CLEARLY NOBODY WATCHED TAPE OF THE VIKINGS.

  98. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Score in the next play???? I’d bet on it

  99. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    And I would have won!!!!!!

  100. Bucamania Says:

    ANOTHER missed tackle.

  101. TRS Says:

    Just ran it down our throats…..

  102. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Vikings are just straight whooping our a@s.

  103. Bucfan81 Says:

    It’s about to be 14 years of no playoffs I don’t know how much more fans can take of this crap.

  104. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    Didn’t Joe say Cousins is as immobile as Brady?

  105. Curse of Gruden Says:

    Defense looks gassed after one quarter.
    No balls, is right!

  106. Buczilla Says:

    Our defense is looking heartless and pathetic so far. Sad and pitiful with so much at stake.

  107. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    Inside our 20 guaranteed td

  108. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Wow, the most hoepful thing so far is a missed PAT!!!!!

  109. TRS Says:

    At least the XP was missed.

  110. rodmunch74 Says:

    Should any of us be shocked? It’s a Bucs life

  111. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Woooohoooo…..held them to 6. That’s a win….right?

  112. AlteredEgo Say: Your comment is awaiting moderation. Says:

    Another the visiting team taking it to the Bucs… I ain’t seeing what I need to see

  113. Ed Kerber Says:

    This is the end of the BA era

  114. Sourbob Says:

    Getting manhandled by a 170LB back! LOL This defense is hot garbage

  115. firethecannons Says:

    you can blame this score on Suh

  116. Bucamania Says:

    Well let’s see if Brady gets things going or it’ll be another long day

  117. Daddylonglegs Says:

    With limited capacity, how the flip are there that many Vikings fans in the stadium!?!?

  118. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    Oops we’re behind so now we abandon the run game

  119. BucfaninMi Says:

    If they miss the playoffs, it’ll be as big of a disappointment as the inaugural season.

  120. TRS Says:

    Hopefully that winds up costing the Vikes by game’s end.

  121. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Don’t worry Bucs Nation, they will shut them down…in the 2nd half. That the MO of this defense…give up a bunch in the first half and get stingy in the 2nd!!! Bank on it…

  122. Mike C Says:

    Wish I had a better look at that Sue penalty

  123. Of course Says:

    How many yards did the Bucs offense have in the first quarter?

    Lmao this team is pathetic.

    Look exactly the same. They all laid around on their sorry as. sses during the bye.

    Did they even paractice? Seriously do we know they actually practiced?

  124. Ftmyersbuc Says:

    Another stat

    8 FIRST DOWNS TO OUR 1

  125. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    It’s pretty clear the Green Bay game was a mirage.

  126. Rico 210 Says:

    We must score now. We must.

  127. DaBucsFan Says:

    Its too early to be throwing in the towel, come on man GO BUCS

  128. Bucamania Says:

    Green Bay game they blitzed. Now they just play soft zone.

  129. Bucfanforever Says:

    Why didn’t they subject that td to further review? The Bucs hit the ball out at the half yard line. Plus, they blatantly held #51 to free cook to the outside, suh wasn’t offsides.

    I can’t stand nfl refereeing.

  130. SRG Says:

    Sad that the Bucs have regressed during the second half of the season.

  131. Of course Says:

    Yep 7-0?

    All BOMBS AWAY NOW. RUN GAME OUT THE WINDOW NOW.

    ROJO should just head to the locker room.

    Well maybe we can get 2 first downs this quarter.

  132. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Hey Of Course, I agree. Love the franchise to London. Then I could go and see them every week.
    Probably a less fickle fan base here too.

  133. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Curse of Gruden, of course the defense is gassed they spent most of the 1st and beginning of the 2nd on the field. At least the O got 1 first down though

  134. firethecannons Says:

    why mike c? obvious it was Suh–no ifs ands or butts

  135. Mike C Says:

    The TV ref said that he was not sure…

  136. TBTeddy Says:

    We gotta score because they are going to run the whole first half clock out on us

  137. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Brady shaky early….again

  138. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Brady can’t seem to hit the broad side of a barn. Holy Crap!!!

  139. Moreon Says:

    Well it’s just 6-0 after one quarter. But after that 1st quarter you have to wonder how the rest of the game will look!

  140. Of course Says:

    And……. yep 3 and out.

    Of course.

  141. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    ANDDDD the ceremonial 3 and out

  142. bucs_1 Says:

    LOL HAVE A GOOD DAY FOLKS!!!!

  143. Bangkok Buc Says:

    Come on Brady. WTF

  144. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Damn Brady. Wide open.

  145. Bucfan81 Says:

    Tom sucks this whole team sucks…

  146. Swanee22 Says:

    Get him out. I said it last week he is to old!

  147. TRS Says:

    UK, if your fans had to go through what some of us have since 1976, you’d be fickle, too. Or just be apathetic and accept mediocrity like the Jaguars.

  148. Beej Says:

    they keep operating out of shotgun

  149. firethecannons Says:

    honestly Brady and BA need to retire after this year, we need a rebuild–new QB, new gm, new coach and sell Evans

  150. Wesley Says:

    Brady was great for the first 6 weeks but he freakin blows now. Wtf?

  151. Of course Says:

    Put that defense right back on the field.

    Good job you POS’s.

  152. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Y’all wanted this over Jameis?

  153. EA Says:

    Bench Brady and move on, he moved to Florida to ritire, this isn’t the Tom Brady of old.

  154. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    This team SUCKSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

  155. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    It’s the wind in the stadium. Affects kickers too….LMAO!

  156. Moreon Says:

    What good was the bye week?

  157. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Aikmans FOS

    Godwin was wide open.

  158. aj Says:

    Brady is playing like trash lately. Ugh.

    He is supposed to be the goat, but can’t hit Godwin with no one anywhere near him.

    I’m sick of this timing excuse. The GOAT should be able to work around that.

  159. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Anyone for a 66 yard TD drive?

  160. TheRealDrew Says:

    2 wide open receivers. Brady just panics. this is ridiculous

  161. Simeon Says:

    Our defense should get double pay for being on the field the entire game.

  162. Bucamania Says:

    WTH Brady! That tablets doesn’t have the answers. Stop looking so scared back there and make some throws.

  163. TampaTown Says:

    Anybody miss Jameis yet? At least he threw for 5000+ yards and was just as painful to watch

  164. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Do something Bucs, or it’s grass cutting time for me.

  165. Rico 210 Says:

    I’m slumped in my chair

  166. Daddylonglegs Says:

    I just can’t……

  167. Alaskabuc Says:

    I could have made that pass.

  168. chummaster01 Says:

    Jameis fault

  169. Jazz Says:

    42 seconds wow

  170. TheRealDrew Says:

    Scotty Miller was running wide open deep on that too.

  171. UKBuccaneer Says:

    This is your weekly reminder that Jameis was beaten out by a trick play QB in NO. Yes, we’re better off with Brady.

  172. aj Says:

    If Josh McCown could hit Evans, why can’t the GOAT?

  173. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Brady is back there with Happy feet and can’t throw a good ball to save his life!!! Looooooooooooong day coming folks…

  174. TampaTown Says:

    When is Bowles head on the chopping block

  175. Tbbucs3 Says:

    When was the Bucs offense ever this stagnant under Jameis? Here’s a hint……NEVER

  176. Bucfanforever Says:

    Brady is too young. His arm needs to age, so the ball doesn’t go as far when he throws downfield. Maybe in 5 years, he’ll stop overthrowing receivers.

  177. Pete Mitchell Says:

    C’mon man. This is bullspit, the greatest qb of all time can’t hit wide open receivers… this is garbage.

  178. Dewey Selmon Says:

    Ira could of completed that pass to Godwin.

  179. Alaskabuc Says:

    Honestly think Gabbert may give us a better chance of winning games. What a sad thought that is.

  180. Of course Says:

    @UK
    Yea because you people have not suffered like we have.
    I haven’t missed a game since 1987.

    So shut your mouth with bull crap. No one cares about you people over there.

  181. SRG Says:

    Seems Tom spent the bye week buying a speed boat and property in Miami. WTF? What are the excuses this week? No preseason? Rusty? This is embarrassing. I guess another eighteen years of futility to come.

  182. Sourbob Says:

    The implosion begins

  183. Davenport Says:

    Coming off a bye with 2 weeks to prepare … and this???
    If they don’t wake up, they’ll get run out of this game. Absolutely pathetic.

  184. Wesley Says:

    Jameis would have had a pick 6 by now.

  185. TBTeddy Says:

    I don’t understand all the Arians hate. I’m with him now Brady just missing throws

  186. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    The replay showed Miller downfield and I think Bray was indecisive between him and Godwin so the ball went nowhere

  187. Im tired and 87 is right Says:

    Come on Brady get your head out of your arse

  188. TampaTown Says:

    Let’s see, middle of December and Brady’s still not on the same page with Evans

  189. RMaceGA Says:

    Can we please commit to running the ball!!,

  190. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    I smell a 50 yard Cook run coming soon

  191. rodmunch74 Says:

    I’m speechless. Can’t even complain. What coach, qb and top draft pick do we bring in next season? It’s a Bucs life

  192. JwBucsfan Says:

    BA is digging his own grave!

  193. Wesley Says:

    BLOW. IT. UP.

  194. AlteredEgo Say: Your comment is awaiting moderation. Says:

    lol… wonder what the 3 stooges are thinking… sell the franchise?

  195. TampaTown Says:

    Do they even practice tackling

  196. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Sometimes I swear these guys just don’t care…..

  197. MadMax Says:

    Its over…Brady is done!!… move on!

  198. rrsrq Says:

    Vikings – 13 first downs
    Bucs – 1 first down

  199. TheRealDrew Says:

    All falling apart

  200. Jazz Says:

    Do they even practice offense?

  201. unbelievable Says:

    Why am I blocked from posting ?

  202. T REX Says:

    Garbage team. Garbage staff.

    Brady is trash.

    Flush it.

  203. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Hey Of course. I haven’t missed a game since gamepass began in 2008. You want a medal?

  204. Siege The Bay Says:

    our defense is constantly put in a bad position by our offense. these 3 and outs are terrible

  205. Of course Says:

    So much for that run defense.

    This team has given up.

    It’s clear they have. They suck and they realize it now.

    They thought they were good. They have no heart.

  206. Moreon Says:

    Need defense to tackle and create a turnover

  207. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Remember Bucs fans, THE OFFENSE RUN THROUGH ROJO…right?????????

  208. BCULAW Says:

    Bad football on both sides.

  209. chummaster01 Says:

    I can hear it now-you like that? You like that?

  210. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    Yep defense is tired

  211. TRS Says:

    They just cannot tackle.

  212. JwBucsfan Says:

    BA is digging his own grave! Beating up on bad teams to ease your way to a playoff spot. Then when games really matters you get taken to the wood shed time and time again.I sure know how to convince myself they will change. I’m delusional

  213. unbelievable Says:

    Oh hey, that one finally went through! Guess I just can’t post from my phone anymore? That’s pretty lame Joe.

    Anyhow, just stopped by to say Brady is fkn awful, and I told you all back in February he was washed up and this wouldn’t work.

    Have fun fans, now we get to watch the wheels fall off for the next 4 weeks.

  214. Of course Says:

    IMPLOSION

    IMPLOSION
    IMPLOSION
    IMPLOSION

  215. TampaTown Says:

    We had two weeks to plan for this

  216. TRS Says:

    Why did we even come back from the bye?

  217. Topcoach_78 Says:

    Beginning of the end fellas!!! Tom missing wide open throws defense getting ripped smh!!! Were about to lose the playoff race!!!!

  218. Of course Says:

    Yea I can’t post from my phone anymore either.

  219. Bucfanforever Says:

    What happened to the face mask rule where the ball carrier can’t jame the defenses facemask?

  220. UKBuccaneer Says:

    I’d throw to Davis all day long too. Guy is trash.

  221. Of course Says:

    The wheels have been off for weeks now.

  222. TampaTown Says:

    Guess we’re still working on those slow starts

  223. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    This is a big 3rd down!

  224. chummaster01 Says:

    worst decision in team history no matter what happens rest of season!!

  225. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    Teams get better we get worse

  226. Beej Says:

    ok, 3rd and 7

  227. TRS Says:

    Bucfanforever, if you do it to the Bucs it is ok. League rule.

  228. Moreon Says:

    Bucs coaches and Brady should be taking notes on how to move the ball

  229. Beej Says:

    lets have a penalty

  230. Mike C Says:

    Way To Be D

  231. Beej Says:

    whew

  232. Of course Says:

    @UK

    2008 WOW!! So long ago wow.

  233. TRS Says:

    At least Suh tries to make up for the offsides penalty.

  234. Mike C Says:

    LFG!!!!!!

  235. Topcoach_78 Says:

    This team is trash offense, defense, special teams! Beginning of the end fellas we can forget the playoffs smh!

  236. Bangkok Buc Says:

    Lets go Brady. Time to wake up Pops

  237. TRS Says:

    Thank you Dan Bailey!!!!!!

  238. Sourbob Says:

    At least their kickers off LOL

  239. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Nearly a strip-sack too

  240. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Kicker problems…….

  241. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    After this absolutely HORRENDOUS start on both sides of the ball, we’re only down 6. Love me some Phish now! At least the bumper music is entertaining.

  242. TBTeddy Says:

    Hell yeah!

  243. Davenport Says:

    At least the vikes are doing their best to keep the game close.

  244. spicoli Says:

    looks like we found their weakness lmao

  245. aj Says:

    Yes, they miss the illegal facemask grab on the offense, but not the tackle.

    Catch the offsides, but miss the chokehold and tackle two plays earlier.

  246. Of course Says:

    Ok Bucs let’s see if we can just get 1 first down lmao.

    Wow the bar is down to hoping for a single first down in a quarter lmao.

  247. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    Finally a play made because people were finally covered. We better score after this miss

  248. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Someone slip Brady a viagra laced geritol and let’s get this offense going

  249. rrsrq Says:

    How many opportunities they gonna give us, but in Blaine Gabbert for a series, that’s what he would do with Jameis

  250. Rico 210 Says:

    C’mon. We gotta score

  251. Moreon Says:

    6-0 Bucs still in this game on scoreboard

  252. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Of Course, is your football knowledge as poor as your reading comprehension?

  253. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    BTW fellas, THE MIAMI FREAKING DOLPHINS are up 10-0 on the Chiefs!!!!

  254. Swanee22 Says:

    Bailey flat out sucks. Minnesota GM is brain dead keeping him as a starting kicker. Good Lord! He single handily is keeping Bucs in game .

  255. Tim Clark Says:

    OMG i could have thrown that ball and I am 54 yrs old WTF. Its bad enough they are throwing 30 yard passes on 3 and 3. Fire arrons im done with this crap play calling!!!!!!

  256. TRS Says:

    If Bailey keeps missing kicks today it will truly be a A Wonderful Life!!!

  257. spicoli Says:

    UKBuc odds are more than likely

  258. Dapostman Says:

    That Vikings kicker may want to lose that 80’s porn stashe.

  259. TBTeddy Says:

    Man Brady needs to relax he’s to worried about proving the haters wrong

  260. Of course Says:

    STOP BLAMING THE REFS.

    THATS SO LAME. AND PATHETIC

  261. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Time to give them a taste of their own – run the damn thing.

  262. aj Says:

    Stop with the moral victories. The Bucs need a real one, not we’re only down by 6.

  263. Logan Says:

    @aj I’m glad I’m not the only spotting all these missed calls.

  264. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Well, Joe has been saying that this Vikings team has been bumbling through their wins. MAYBE, JUST MAYBE they bumble enough for our sorry @asses to pull this one out?!?!

  265. ElioT Says:

    Offense desperately needs to do something here.

  266. Of course Says:

    Woooo hooooo a first down yea

  267. unbelievable Says:

    The ONLY good part of this game is all the Phish and Grateful Dead music being played as the intro/outro music at commercials.

    This team is the suck.

    Oh and refs are certainly doing their part, as usual.

  268. Beej Says:

    that was something

  269. SRG Says:

    First down run

  270. TBTeddy Says:

    If we go up on the Vikings they can’t come back

  271. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    RoJo hit at the line again

  272. Beej Says:

    good place for play action

  273. rrsrq Says:

    Scooter

  274. Sourbob Says:

    Look at that

  275. Jmarkbuc Says:

    And we need AB why?

  276. Curse of Gruden Says:

    3rd and short. Let’s throw deep!

  277. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Stupid play….but it worked…

  278. BucfaninMi Says:

    ABOUT F-ING TIME!!!

  279. TRS Says:

    SCOOOTERRRRRRRR!!!!!!

  280. Mike C Says:

    Piss of Negative flake Troll bastards, LFG!

  281. Beej Says:

    ok, shotgun works too…

  282. Bucfan81 Says:

    Miller time…

  283. rrsrq Says:

    Not gonna call that facemask, 🤔

  284. GhostofSchiano Says:

    Viagra + geritol = Super Brady

  285. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Damn Miller makes some tough catches

  286. ElioT Says:

    Nice!!

  287. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Nice to see Scotty involved! Hell of a throw by Brady (finally). Well, all of us who don’t want to see bombs away, maybe we need some deep throws?!

  288. Rico 210 Says:

    LET’S FUKING GO

  289. Moreon Says:

    Just like that tied up

  290. Of course Says:

    Finally SCOTTY MILLER.

    Should have never been second to AB.

    FU Brady for AB. FU Brady for causing Miller to have to split time with AB.

  291. Sourbob Says:

    WOW this game should be 24 to 3 Vikes

  292. TRS Says:

    Maybe the genius coaching staff will actually find more ways to get the ball in the hands of Miller. Good things seem to happen when they do.

  293. rrsrq Says:

    3rd and short, finally hit the open man. Now get off the field in three defense

  294. aj Says:

    Great catch, considering the facemask.

    Why is Miller the only long ball Brady can hit. Might as well give him all of AB’s snaps.

  295. spicoli Says:

    this guy

  296. Wesley Says:

    AB and Fournette should not be on this team. Should have used that money elsewhere.

  297. Dewey Selmon Says:

    Scotty Miller should be nicknamed Rooster. They try to kill him but he don’t wanna die.

  298. Of course Says:

    Haven’t missed one game in 33 years but I’m a troll and a “fake” fan

    Lmao. Stupid millennials

  299. Ftmyersbuc Says:

    Ok it’s official

    Wr depth chart

    Evans 1
    Godwin 2
    Miller 3
    Brown/johnson 4

  300. SRG Says:

    Nice TD. Yes but defense had no time to catch their breath. The defense has been on the field all the first half.

  301. Rico 210 Says:

    Now we should see an inspired D

  302. Moreon Says:

    Still don’t think this is a playoff team even if they make it to the playoffs it’ll be one and done.

  303. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Anybody else thinking HERE WE GO AGAIN EITH A BIMB WHEN WE NEED 4 F%CKING YARDS when that ball came out????? I can’t be the only one…but look at that, go back to Miller on the bomb and it’s complete. He was the best long ball receiver all year until AB came in and somehow they forgot how good he was at the long ball.

  304. TBTeddy Says:

    The Vikings secondary looking confused 🤷🏿‍♂️ as hell going into commercial break 😂

  305. Swanee22 Says:

    This ignorant coaching staff should be starting Miller every game as we said. Ridiculous the coaches have sat him. The head coach and OC have no clue .

  306. UKBuccaneer Says:

    It’s early days, but with a win today we’ll be unbeaten since I got my bucs tattoo, guys. #JustSayin

  307. RMaceGA Says:

    Welcome back Scotty!!!

  308. Of course Says:

    SCOTTY MILLER should have never had to split time with AB.

    FU BRADY FOR AB. THATS YOUR FAULT.

    MILLER CLEARLY NEEDS TO BE ON THE FIELD.

  309. Ftmyersbuc Says:

    Ab and fournette money site woukd have been better spent on a cb or pass rusher

  310. stpetebucsfan Says:

    So now that the celebration is subsiding a technical question.

    The natural sound…the background crowd noise for effect…is WAAAAYYY too loud on my brand new SONY. The SONY has been awespme except for today.

    Anybody else having trouble hearing announcers above the background noise?

  311. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Naples, all the talk has been about timing with receivers. But Bradys had timing with Miller all year long.. maybe the only one, but we signed AB.

  312. Beej Says:

    NaplesBucsFan Says:
    December 13th, 2020 at 1:54 pm
    Anybody else thinking HERE WE GO AGAIN EITH A BIMB WHEN WE NEED 4 F%CKING YARDS when that ball came out????? I can’t be the only one…but look at that, go back to Miller on the bomb and it’s complete. He was the best long ball receiver all year until AB came in and somehow they forgot how good he was at the long ball.

    THAT is the best time to do it

  313. Moreon Says:

    Great play not a high percentage play when it’s 3rd down and 3 though.

  314. MadMax Says:

    So Brady’s specialty is small fast WR’s…. we need speed in the draft if we keep TB one more year. Get baby Gronk from ND, cut the TE $$ with Gronk and Brate. Then another fast WR….trade Evans to move up in the draft.

  315. Swanee22 Says:

    Moreon ,,, no one in their right state of mind believes this team has the talent And coaching ability to win more money than a game in playoffs IF they even make it which is doubtful as this is must win.

  316. BCULAW Says:

    Sure glad we drafted OJ.

  317. Jmarkbuc Says:

    WE CAN NOT TACKLE

  318. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Let’s TRY to hold Cook to 150 yards by the half?

  319. Wesley Says:

    Pure crap defense.

  320. King C Says:

    Ryan Succop has actually been Pro Bowl caliber in kickoffs, Xps, and Fgs

  321. DBS Says:

    And of course here is our defense. Just let them run right down the field.

  322. Wesley Says:

    How the hell did this defense completely shut down the Packers?

  323. spicoli Says:

    Def like swiss cheese right now.

  324. rrsrq Says:

    Vikess averaging 15 yards a play, really

  325. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Wesley: Vita Vea

  326. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    How are our 2 pro bowl LBs doing?

  327. aj Says:

    Please no offsides. Please.

  328. Beej Says:

    I’m torn here…starting Jefferson on my fantasy team

  329. spicoli Says:

    SMB actually covered a WR

  330. MadMax Says:

    TE from Penn st. my bad…Freiermuth

  331. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Three-Mississippi’s, guys.

  332. TRS Says:

    Come on, Defense!

  333. aj Says:

    Tough to blame on Cook. Wow, he has vision. And power.

  334. Wesley Says:

    UK- Love Vea but one player is not the difference.

  335. Daddylonglegs Says:

    Wesley……I totally agree with you.

  336. Crispy Says:

    32

  337. TRS Says:

    Timeout then false start. We will take it.

  338. Beej Says:

    D picking it up a bit

  339. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Lucky 24

  340. DBS Says:

    Good play by Davis.

  341. TRS Says:

    Nice D, Carlton.

  342. Beej Says:

    53 yard field goal attempt , it looks

  343. aj Says:

    When did the Vikings sign Roberto Aguayo?

  344. TRS Says:

    Dan Bailey is an honorary Buccaneer today!

  345. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Ok Fugg it…

    Bomb to Miller

  346. Beej Says:

    LOL AJ

  347. Mike C Says:

    My my this game has turned on its head

  348. Bucfan81 Says:

    The Vikings kicker might win the game for us..

  349. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    It’s gotta be all the wonderful Grateful Dead music that is f@cking with Dan Bailey’s head. Let’s keep it up. Bailey will be cut tomorrow and maybe won’t be allowed to fly home with the team.

  350. TRS Says:

    Best Bucs defensive player today is Dan Bailey. He’s kept 7 points off the board.

  351. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Been, it’s 13-7 if not for Matt Gay, I mean Dan Bailey missing kicks. Yeah we’re stopping TDs but they are still moving the ball with WAY TOO much ease.

  352. Swanee22 Says:

    Worse kicker I have seen in 10 years

  353. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    Ha ha! Sometimes you win cause you get lucky

  354. Davenport Says:

    Wow … the vikes just REFUSE to win!
    In the race to lose, Bowles is being out done by a kicker

  355. Moreon Says:

    As bad as it is being a Bucs fan must be worse to be a Vikings fan

  356. Elita Vita Says:

    Thank goodness for that Viking kicker. Let’s go Bucs, let’s get it together!

  357. rrsrq Says:

    Watch these freaking Bucs go “no risk it no biscuit” instead of working the clock down to get a score at the half – because we get the ball back at the half

  358. King C Says:

    Dan Bailey on the street by tonight

  359. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Vea made all the difference, because his loss allows more attention to be paid to Shaq, JPP and Suh. Consequently the front-7 is weaker across the board. The secondary was never that good to begin with – it was made to look great by the front-7.

    Veal’s loss was everything.

  360. TBTeddy Says:

    They about to get blowed out by us now. I wish I was at the game 😩

  361. Architek Says:

    Bucs need to get better and younger on DL

  362. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Swanee22

    So this is your first Bucs game?

  363. rrsrq Says:

    Vikes punter getting no love today

  364. Beej Says:

    why we keep running off left

  365. Elita Vita Says:

    Yes agreed who will lose today’s game? The Buccaneers or the Viking’s kicker?

  366. rrsrq Says:

    Is there any other place for ROjO to run other than over the guard

  367. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Brown dances too much

  368. rodmunch74 Says:

    I agree run the ball but our run blocking is atrocious

  369. TRS Says:

    Keep moving the chains.

  370. Wesley Says:

    Weird game.

  371. DavidBigBucFan99 Says:

    Difference between Jones and Cook??? Cook gets some blocking and Bucs defense misses tackles. Jones don’t and Vikes defense isn’t

  372. aj Says:

    Miami’s defense is pasting the Chiefs. Mahomes 2 picks all year, 2 in the first half today.

  373. SRG Says:

    Has anyone kept track of the first down runs?

  374. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    WOW, THEY RAN THE BALL ON 3RD DOWN AND SHORT…THEY RAN THE F%CKING BALL ON THE 3RD DOWN AND SHORT!!!!!! MERRY EARLY
    CHRISTMAS YA’LL!!!!

  375. aj Says:

    Cook is just a better back. He has hall of fame vision. I like Rojo, but he is no Cook. Cook is a step above.

  376. TBTeddy Says:

    Less pessimism guys lol

  377. TRS Says:

    Dang, TB.

  378. Swanee22 Says:

    Brady is awful

  379. BCULAW Says:

    Shot at the end zone coming up.

  380. Wesley Says:

    Brady is weird how the hell do you miss that throw?

  381. Beej Says:

    6-10, 103 yards, td

  382. aj Says:

    Aikman explains every play why Brady can’t hit a receiver.

  383. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Beautiful play design there. God-awful throw though

  384. TRS Says:

    Yes, Viking penalty.

  385. aj Says:

    It’s almost like they don’t want to admit that was a foul forever. Spearing. Oh, but they got rid of that so they could have bigger hits.

    So we can’t just call it spearing anymore.

  386. TRS Says:

    Automatic first down.

  387. Wesley Says:

    Throw it up to Evans.

  388. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Didn’t see that first time but we’ll take it

  389. Swanee22 Says:

    Inconsistent quarterback lose games consistently. Wasting our time keeping him as starter. Never win super bowl with him as he just to old . Retire and enjoy your 6 Super Bowls…

  390. TRS Says:

    If Mike Evans had all of the PI yardage he has accumulated all season he would be pretty close to 1,000 yards.

  391. Beej Says:

    he’s still one of the better qb’s in the league

  392. King C Says:

    If you notice the Browns play better without Odelll,
    also the Bucs play better without Fournette or AB

  393. Mike C Says:

    RoJo!

  394. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Thank you Vikings. We should be getting killed this game and not up a TD. Wow, what a weird game.

  395. rrsrq Says:

    Whatever it takes

  396. Of course Says:

    Woooo hoooo!

    Alright starting to look like an NFL team again

  397. TRS Says:

    TD ROJO!!!!!!

  398. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Tom is the best QB we’ve seen in Tampa, bar none. And we’re going to run him out of town?

    Bizarre.

  399. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Don’t understand why we called a timeout….

  400. aj Says:

    It’s not his age. It’s his accuracy. He is just missing throws that every pro QB should make.

  401. Bucamania Says:

    Well they’re still playing poorly but winning.

    Some weird throws by Brady and still losing in the trenches.

  402. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Good Lord

    The Bucs have a lead, but they sure make it painful

  403. Davenport Says:

    Its ugly, very ugly, but we’ll take it. Vikes are determined to throw this game away. We’re not winning, Vikes are losing

  404. rrsrq Says:

    Dam, it’s nice to have a reliable kicker – with this defense can we hold them off the board with 48 secs

  405. ElioT Says:

    Nice!!!!

    Man, they’ve hung in there with a bit of luck and managed give the defense some time to rest with an 8 point lead.

    Let’s go!!!

  406. TBTeddy Says:

    & we get the ball back. Vikes in for some trouble

  407. Ftmyersbuc Says:

    Ba clock skills are trash!!!
    Why did we call a timeout down there

  408. Dbbuc Says:

    Vikings may just let their kicker walk back to Minnesota

  409. TRS Says:

    Let’s blow these clowns out in the second half. The Vikings clearly don’t want to win this game.

  410. TBTeddy Says:

    If Brady was on point early we’d be up big already

  411. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    No way they should have 44 sec……should have milked the clock.

    Our D had been terrible in these situations…..

  412. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    The mirage of these last 4 games is that we are facing losing teams…SO, even if we win out, UNLESS we are crusading each team by a healthy margin, then we won’t really know what this team has. They played good teams in November and we saw what this team had.

  413. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Let’s hold them to 3 here.

  414. Wesley Says:

    Brady was great for the first 6 or 7 weeks since then his accuracy has been very inconsistent.

  415. TBTeddy Says:

    That’s what I like to see @TRS lol we lose so much we gotta enjoy whooping some ass when we get a chance

  416. DavidBigBucsFan99 Says:

    How is Brady our biggest problem when he has 29 tds passes with 3 games to go???

  417. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    When you can get any pressure on Cousins, he is exceptionally ordinary. I wouldn’t be surpised with an Int here.

  418. rodmunch74 Says:

    @Davenport
    I agree with you

  419. spicoli Says:

    AJ:

    Since this includes the playoffs, Brady has 659 10+ yard throws, most in the league.

    Brees has 515

  420. UKBuccaneer Says:

    @DavidBugBucsFan99 – exactly. Brady is somehow the problem when the secondary literally makes any receiver look like a HoF guy.

  421. TRS Says:

    Nice hold, Defense!

  422. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Dear Santa: Can you bring the Bucs a few defensive backs and a punt returner for Christmas?

  423. aj Says:

    Come on. You can’t say he has been elite accurate the last several weeks. Not talking about career.

    He is just missing passes right now he should not.

  424. DavidBigBucsFan99 Says:

    We see why the Vikes have sucked this year

  425. Swanee22 Says:

    Beej,,, he is not even in top 13 QBs in league. Wasting time because of his age and can’t win Super Bowl. Not his fault he is almost 44….

  426. JimmyJack Says:

    I like Brady but JesusChrist does he suck at being prepared at the start. Every game its the same thing. He cant hit a reciever or find a way to move the ball. Our offense is totally incapable. They are the source of our problems. Sorry I know its a lot of woeght to carry but we got AllPro players all over the field. No excuse to be unable to get 1st downs…..let alone points!!

    On defense I can forgive the TD drive. It was hard to watch us have no ability to stop Dalvin Cook. I was getting nightmares of 2016 Bucs bend over to Zeke Elliot for an entire game…….This defense prooved they are not 2016 and they will hold Cook in check now……..He might get a big play but he will not make a good run every time he touches the ball like he did on the first drive(or like Zeke did for a entire game to us way back when)…….Ive also seen a few balls laying on the turf for our defense……And Nelson made a great play to get his hands on a ball in the pocket!!! Nelson missed one tackle in the flat but othewise has been slightly impressive…..maybe a guy we can look for sown the stretch?

    Either way Bucs are in control. Im feeling good. But the offense sadly is still a work in progress. Really thought they would be ready to roll today. They are running out of time to get playoff ready. Todays offense is not.

    GO BUCS!!!!

  427. spicoli Says:

    I with ya now. Yes I have to agree he’s been off these past 3 games. Today is looking slightly better

  428. UKBuccaneer Says:

    He’s certainly missing some passes that he should be making, he’s also had some terrible protection and clay-handed backs.

    I’d take this Brady over any bucs QB in recent history

  429. spicoli Says:

    ooooofffffff Vikings

  430. TRS Says:

    Are you kidding?????

  431. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    I still feel better with an inaccurate Brady than Jay Miss.

  432. spicoli Says:

    SHUT UP AIKMAN

  433. TRS Says:

    Kick the FG!!!!

  434. spicoli Says:

    Alvin I agree with that statement

  435. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Yep. Take the FG.

  436. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    AJ agreed about accuracy…he ain’t comfortable
    In this offense the last 5-6 weeks except the Panthers game

  437. ElioT Says:

    Heck yeah!!!!

    That’s what I’m talking about!!!!!

    17-6 baby!

    Let’s go!!!!

  438. TRS Says:

    Wow. A free 3 before half and we get the ball first in the second half.

  439. firethecannons Says:

    finally the Bucs get a game with decent calls!

  440. rrsrq Says:

    However we can get it “the Brady effect”, no way they call that if that is JW…, CG should’ve caught that though

  441. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Absolutely Alvin. 43-year-old Brady > any Winston.

  442. Swanee22 Says:

    Aikman sounds stupid.. Vikings defender must turn his head and play the ball ..

  443. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    # 41 shoulder checked before the ball arrived too, so that was interference also

  444. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    That’s a break…..and the right call…..take the sure 3….

  445. EA Says:

    That was a bonus play anyway, run it in. I don’t get the play calling here at all.

  446. TBTeddy Says:

    We felt bad for them that’s why we didn’t go for 7 😂

  447. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Aikman is sounding stupid…41 hit him before the ball arrived too…2 PIs on that play

  448. King C Says:

    Even with that ridiculous PI call, you still have goofballs complain the refs are against the Bucs

  449. Sourbob Says:

    Man they should have punched ROJO in.

  450. JimmyJack Says:

    To clarify the defense stopping Cook. We were able to stop him on one play. I know that dont sound like much but it matters a lot.

    Each time you stop a run play to 2 yards or less the offense stays behind the sticks. We could not stop Cook to 2 or less for that entire TD drive. The first time we did stop him 2 or less the drive went into 3rd and 14. It was our best defensive drive. We can keep giving up plays to Cook but Im confident we will also stuff him and gettin the Vikings behind thd sticks more.

  451. stpetebucsfan Says:

    “Bucs need to get better and younger on DL”

    We’ll get dramatically better when Vea returns last year. He was not only garnering Pro Bowl talk but also All Pro…the best at his position.

  452. Beej Says:

    I’m wondering if they want Suh back next year

  453. TheBucsAnthem Says:

    The Vikings are giving this game away

    stupid kicker

  454. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    King C, you say ridiculous PI…what else would you define PI as????? Man never looked for the ball and ran through Gronk AND 41 hits Gronk from behind with a shoulder check BEFORE the ball arrives. So, please let us know what you consider PI, since it was ridiculous in your opinion

  455. TBTeddy Says:

    AB past due for a big TD! Need that after halftime

  456. Mike C Says:

    You take the 99% chance at a 2 score lead every time

  457. stpetebucsfan Says:

    I think we rebounded to play well but all things considered that may have been the luckiest half of football for the Bucs ever.

    The score could easily be reversed. Now our Offense gets to show their worth.

    A long five minute drive for a TD to start the half all but takes Dalvin out of the game unless Cousins can strike for a couple of quick scores.

    It’s on the OFFENSE NOW. Eat some clock and get at least three.

  458. SRG Says:

    I’d rather be leading by eleven than dominating the stats at halftime.

  459. Tbbucs3 Says:

    What a sloppy way to be winning this football game. Can’t complain though.

  460. TheBucsAnthem Says:

    The Bucs defense still sucks

  461. spicoli Says:

    I’d take Suh back at the right price. He’s still playing at a high level

  462. UKBuccaneer Says:

    The Vikings can’t keep running the ball if we come out and score on this opening drive. They’ll have to start passing – and then the front 7 can feed.

  463. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    NaplesBucsFan Says
    “Aikman is sounding stupid…41 hit him before the ball arrived too…2 PIs on that play”

    Our guy committed offensive pass interference in that play too…but I’ll take it.

    Last I knew, shoving the mask of a defenders’ face in a passing situation is PI.

  464. Mike C Says:

    Especially when the other kicker is having this kind of game.

  465. UKBuccaneer Says:

    @Anthem – it does suck. At least the secondary does.

  466. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Only 6 total tackles for LVD/White…..need to get them going…..

  467. spicoli Says:

    Bonzai, How did Gronk commit OPI?

  468. Defense Rules Says:

    That was one of the most bizarre 1st halfs of football I’ve ever seen. Bucs’ defense gave up tons of rushing yardage, but bottom line is that the Vikes only have 6 points & we got pressure when we really needed it the most. And they gave the ball to our offense in excellent field position so that helped too. And so did the refs.

  469. TheBucsAnthem Says:

    the bucs need to put the hammer down now

    cause their luck is running out

    unless that stupid kicker keeps on missing like Roberto Flamingo

  470. aj Says:

    Gronk was not allowed to make a play on the ball.

    If they let him jump, I doubt the PI is called.

  471. King C Says:

    NaplesBucFan I guarantee if that call was against the Bucs, this board would be all over it as anti-Bucs bias. It’s not opinion to say PI calls are typically not made on hail marys because the offense and defense are allowed to get away with more. It’s OK to be objective about refs and not scream anti-Bucs bias

  472. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    BucsAnthem…sadly, I gotta agree! This is not a good team in the Vikings and we still had a hard time stopping them from moving the ball at will. Yeah, we stopped more TDs it this is NOT A GOOD TEAM WE ARE PLAYING AGAINST. I hate that we’re playing all crappy teams to end the season, cuz I’m afraid of a false sense of accomplishment if we win out!!! Behind knows maybe they pull out all 4 and get in a rhythm for the playoffs…

  473. TomTerrific Says:

    Don’t stop now. Pedal to the floor!! Go Bucs!!!

  474. Defense Rules Says:

    Spicoli … I’d take Suh back next year period. Take him out of our DLine today & what do you think you’d have left?

  475. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    King C, you’re right about almost any PI call, but the replay was clear. A Hail Mary has no special rules so it shouldn’t receive special flexibility on the calls.

  476. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Need to open 2nd half with a score to take them out of their run game….

  477. TheBucsAnthem Says:

    The Falcons are actually playing hard, good football…………those games aren’t gimmes either

  478. JimmyJack Says:

    If Im the Bucs i come out with swag at halftime and look to Evans twice for big play. Yeah get him 1000. They cant cover him. Enjoy the 2nd half boys.

  479. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    That run looked open on the left side of the line

  480. TRS Says:

    First down!!!!!

  481. aj Says:

    Damn. Shady showing some life.

  482. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Why the HELL is McCoy in?!?!?!?!

  483. TRS Says:

    Shady has had plenty of rest so he should be fresh.

  484. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    McCoy looked great on that run!

  485. TRS Says:

    A Shady sighting indeed!

  486. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    WHAT?!?!? PLAY ACTION ACTUALLY WORKS!!!!!!

  487. TRS Says:

    Mike freakin; Evans!!!!

  488. Mike C Says:

    Eat it haters!

  489. TRS Says:

    Good run, RoJo.

  490. spicoli Says:

    Defense Rules Says:
    December 13th, 2020 at 2:40 pm
    Spicoli … I’d take Suh back next year period. Take him out of our DLine today & what do you think you’d have left?

    EXACTLY!! !

  491. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    How the f%cl did ROJO get that ball through the line

  492. TRS Says:

    GRONK!!!!!!!!!

  493. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Just how good is Mike Evans?

  494. TRS Says:

    Running game setting up the pass. Recipe for victory!

  495. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    That is EXACTLY what we needed to do…..

  496. TRS Says:

    Succop????? No!!!!!

  497. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Well the missed PAT don’t matter no more

  498. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Uncharacteristic……but I’ll take the score…

  499. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Perfect way to open a half

  500. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    McCoy did decently but I see a huge difference between him and ROJO…ROJO hits the hole and go forward with power…McCoy dances a little too much for my liking.

  501. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    IF the offense runs through Jones, then STOP TAKING HIM OFF ON 3rd down

  502. JimmyJack Says:

    Now hold Cook to 2 yards or less….just one time. Do it one time and see what happens. Lets go D get it done!!

  503. UKBuccaneer Says:

    RoJo. Needs help – the days of one-back teams are gone.

  504. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Naples.

    ROJO can’t catch a ball. Why leave him in?

  505. spicoli Says:

    needed that drive and score

  506. Of course Says:

    Man lookin good now.

    Don’t let up

  507. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Did you forget about his big catch and score a couple weeks ago and his catch today??????

  508. DavidBigBucsFan99 Says:

    Most of Rojos runs have been due to his abilities not because of this line

  509. Tbbucs3 Says:

    ROJO is running for 2.9 yards a carry. And ppl are acting like he’s playing well. He’s not shifty like McCoy or Dalvin Cook at all.

  510. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    TBBucs you think McCoy makes that great catch and score that ROJO made???

  511. TRS Says:

    Come on, D!

  512. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    TBBUCS, Jones has the 4th most yards in the WHOLE DAMN LEAGUE

  513. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Everytime ROJO isn’t playing well Bucs fans automatically blame the Oline, maybe it’s because he can’t make people miss?

  514. TRS Says:

    Suh????

  515. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Here come the ViQueens

  516. UKBuccaneer Says:

    If you want to feed one back 30+ times per game, that’s fine. But you’re gonna kill the guy and finish around .500.

  517. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Cousins is not a guy who can put a team on his shoulders, even though he has two very good WRs. They still need to mix in Cook.

  518. spicoli Says:

    RoJo is top 5 in the NFL for yards after contact though.

  519. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Naples.

    Where have you been? The Bucs running game has been spotty all year. Brady has 30 TDs on the season that doesn’t mean the pass game has been working well.

  520. Of course Says:

    @tbbucs

    What’s wrong with you?
    ROJO is 4th in the whole league you I d iot

  521. spicoli Says:

    Devin gets lost in the mix wayyy too often

  522. King C Says:

    The “You like that!” game when we lost to Cousins and Washington still ticks me off

  523. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    No word on our two pro bowl LBs?

  524. Of course Says:

    You can’t say the run game is bad when your RB is top 5 in the league lol

  525. TRS Says:

    Agreed, King C

  526. unbelievable Says:

    Can anyone tackle the fullback?

    Anyone?

    Bueller?

  527. UKBuccaneer Says:

    @king C, me too! And Jameis eating a W a few weeks ago is gonna join it in my long term memory banks 🙁

  528. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    TBBUCS, you sound foolish bro…ROJO, when given the ball more than a couple times a game does great !! You haven’t been watching all year apparently. Even the talking heads have said in since the end of October that ROJO needs the ball.

  529. unbelievable Says:

    @tbbucs the run game only sucks b/c they keep refusing to run.

    RoJo is #4 rusher in the entire league

  530. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Of course.

    ROJO isn’t consistent at all. I don’t think anyone can argue that the Bucs have had a good running game this season.

    Do you think the Bucs have had a good running game this year? I’d like to hear you try and make that argument.

  531. TRS Says:

    Defense just needs to keep them out of the end zone.

  532. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    BTW , Arians is the one who said THE OFFENSE RUNS THROUGH ROJO

  533. Davenport Says:

    In other news…. Lovie Smith was fired by Illinois today

  534. Of course Says:

    Not even worth it.

  535. rrsrq Says:

    C’mon defense

  536. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    TBBUCS, the Bucs have abandoned the run in November, prior to then convince me they didn’t have a good run game.

  537. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    It’s time for the defensive line to put some pressure on Cousins. He’s able to drink a beer back there.

  538. Of course Says:

    Come on D.

    Don’t let them back in this game.

    Get the stop

  539. TRS Says:

    False start. That helps.

  540. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Dalvin Cook is what an elite running back looks like. The difference between a guy like him and ROJO are night and day.

  541. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Love Minny wasting a timeout there!

  542. TRS Says:

    Way to hold, Defense.

  543. TRS Says:

    And they lose a timeout.

  544. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Who the hell is comparing ROJO to Cook???? The Bucs don’t have Cook so it don’t matter. ROJO IS OUR BEST BACK AND SHOULDNT BE PULLED! Give him the damn ball like a bell cow back and see what happens. We saw it against the Panthers when he had it 20+ times and the 3 100 yard games in a row earlier in the year

  545. TRS Says:

    Lovie had an uphill battle in Champaign. Had a feeling that’s how it would end.

  546. ElioT Says:

    Come on Defense!!

    Make a play!!!!

  547. spicoli Says:

    I agree D Cook is elite. I am impressed with the way RoJo has played this season. Part of it is the play calls and coaching. I think he is getting great production for the small amount of touches he gets week in, week out.

  548. Wesley Says:

    Come the cook on man!

  549. aj Says:

    Good cover linebacker in White. LMAO

  550. UKBuccaneer Says:

    When you have one-back that your whole offense goes through – he gets hit 30+ times per game.

    What are the odds of injury/burnout in a 16 game season?

  551. Bucamania Says:

    Devin White can’t cover anyone

  552. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Spicoli, agreed…ROJO ain’t being used like he should be in my opinion and the oinion of many other fans and talking heads

  553. Beej Says:

    and, aNOTHER offsides

  554. TRS Says:

    ANOTHER offside penalty.

  555. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Burma is, I said the same thing…White CAN’T cover worth a damn…YET

  556. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Geez…just give them the 6 already!

  557. rrsrq Says:

    Make the punter earn a paycheck today, pleezzzeee

  558. Beej Says:

    Bucs havent allowed a 100 yard rusher all year, Cook at 83

  559. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Jpp does that most every game……..stop it, please….

  560. Wesley Says:

    This drive has taken up nearly the entire quarter.

  561. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Rojo is a good back in this league. Dalvin Cook is special.

  562. TRS Says:

    Can’t allow these clowns to get into the end zone.

  563. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    UK, don’t need 30 touches for a back…BUT 20 should be a given for a good back. Especially when your HC keeps saying he needs the ball more

  564. Ftmyersbuc Says:

    Who cares if they score just make sure it’s in the 4th quarter

  565. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Naples

    Much of rojos yards came in garbage time against teams like the Panthers.

    You can’t only look at the stats. Explain why everytime we hand him the ball on 1st down he can’t get more than 2 yards? It’s a big reason why we always get behind in the chains.

  566. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Make them earn every yard…..eat up clock….and score when we get the ball..

  567. TRS Says:

    And just like that….

  568. Wesley Says:

    God this secondary is complete crap!!

  569. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Cook is damn good…what year is he in now though? Just like Derrick Henry took 2-4 years before he starting showing up consistently

  570. rrsrq Says:

    I do not need another “you like that” from Cousins – but the way this defense is playing

  571. TRS Says:

    and then they get the 2. Smdh.

  572. EA Says:

    #45 of the bucs, is a liability in coverage

  573. ElioT Says:

    We need help on the D-Line/OLBs!

    Zero depth or quality rotation.

    Very close to a few sacks on that drive.

    Rojo time!!!!

    Let’s go!!!!

  574. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Great effort by SMB…WOW, HEARTLESS TACKLING

  575. rrsrq Says:

    I think our Bucs need to hit the weight room

  576. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Really SMB? Shying away from contact on the 2 point conversion? This team pisses me off. We just can’t stand prosperity!

  577. EvolvingBucsFan Says:

    Devin white cannot cover and looks lost

  578. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    RUN THE BALL….EAT CLOCK!!!!!!!!

  579. Swanee22 Says:

    Are DBs are lazy untalented players

  580. Curse of Gruden Says:

    #23’s tackle on the extra point was weak! Looked scared.

  581. crazyBucs_CL Says:

    never seen defense to collapse like ours….. they go from great to terrible in meters of minutes

  582. Jazz Says:

    Smb gives zero effort wow

  583. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Please….NOOOO 3 and outs!

  584. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    The rookie Winfield hitting way better than SMB, but should have been team tackling if SMB puts in any effort

  585. richbucsfan Says:

    This is not good coming off a bye week. Very poor defense. Pathetic actually

  586. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    We need one more TD.

  587. TRS Says:

    Need to go back down with a long drive and put a TD and extra point on the board. Limit their possessions while keeping at least a two possession lead.

  588. chummaster01 Says:

    dsmith is horrible in pass coverage

  589. TBTeddy Says:

    Not worried. They struggled for that one

  590. chummaster01 Says:

    White is terrible in coverage

  591. LVMYBUCS Says:

    Secondary will not survive playoffs

  592. TRS Says:

    Anything to keep these dudes in the game.

  593. Logan Says:

    Just want to say our defense is a joke.

  594. rrsrq Says:

    Now it begins, the other team scores and our offense gets an offensive penalty and a dropped pass – that’s what we do

  595. BucfaninMi Says:

    Gonna let them back in.😡

  596. TRS Says:

    Just get the first down.

  597. Davenport Says:

    I fear that it might be time to sit 45 on passing downs. There is a long list of what he does well, but pass coverage isnt one of them. Maybe drop JPP inside and rush 45 off the edge.

  598. crazyBucs_CL Says:

    there you go….

  599. unbelievable Says:

    Also, I can’t believe they didn’t go for a TD on that PI call that placed it at the 1 to end of the half.

    Total pu$$y move.

  600. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Damn…..and I asked nicely on the no 3 and out!

  601. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Godwin had no coverage and he goes to Miller

  602. Wesley Says:

    Really dumb decision there by Brady.

  603. TRS Says:

    Why do they have to make things so hard?

  604. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    OH NO!!! The dreaded Leftover Sandwich 3 and OUT.

  605. Swanee22 Says:

    DUMD throw!

  606. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    hE WAS not OPEN,….

  607. crazyBucs_CL Says:

    we back to normal…

  608. Bucamania Says:

    REALLY Brady?! Stupid.

  609. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Anybody think OUR XP miss will come back to haunt us?

  610. Bucfan81 Says:

    2 steps forward and 3 steps back with this team.

  611. rrsrq Says:

    30 second offensive series

  612. Swanee22 Says:

    Brady didn’t have a clue on 3rd down…

  613. Bucfanforever Says:

    Hard to catch the ball when the defender is ramming your head with the crown of his helmet.

  614. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Some tasty Trey Anastasio. Man, Fox has really upped their game on the tunes.

  615. TRS Says:

    Have control of the game and now giving the opponent confidence.

  616. unbelievable Says:

    tbbucs you clearly do not understand how running in the NFL works.

    Playcalling has been the issue, not the players.

  617. ElioT Says:

    Let’s go defense!!!

  618. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    GODWIN WAS ALL ALONE ON THE SIDELINE OUT ROUTE…yeah his man tried to play that pass to Miller, but come on Godwin will win contested passes

  619. Bucamania Says:

    This offense. smh

    1st play – penaltty
    2nd play – drop
    3rd play – stupid decision and throw

  620. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    43 seconds on that drive. now THAT is the way to eat clock…lol

  621. TRS Says:

    We need to get a turnover on this drive, badly.

  622. TBTeddy Says:

    That was some rookie QB 💩 just now from Brady

  623. chummaster01 Says:

    no rush attemps?

  624. Logan Says:

    Wow….30 second offensive series. Playoff team? Give me a break.

  625. Swanee22 Says:

    No way We win 10 games with Brady .. absolutely Zero Chance. Owners heads in the clouds.

  626. Wesley Says:

    It shouldn’t be this hard when you have Evans and Godwin.

  627. Architek Says:

    Bad playcalling from Bucs again!

  628. Moreon Says:

    D needs to hold this time. Been giving up first downs this whole game

  629. DaBucsFan Says:

    GO BUCS

  630. stpetebucsfan Says:

    We need to hand out trophies each week where the guy is bent over with his head up his rectum

    So far…Suh gave up six points with a braindead defensive offsides.

    The WORST thing we could have done is go three and out thanks to Ali Marpet’s head up the rectum offsides. If the Vikes score the points should go against Marpet.

    STOP PLAYING LIKE DUMBASSES…OFFSIDES…IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS…

    STOP!

  631. Delabuc Says:

    Tired of the 3rd and short to Miller, get rid of it.

  632. TRS Says:

    Tight Ends killing us again.

  633. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    LMAO! Here come the vikings again

  634. BucfaninMi Says:

    Over. They give up a TD. They’ll lose.

  635. Jazz Says:

    Are we behind we can’t run the ball? Are we not trying to eat clock this coaching sometimes there are no words

  636. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Yank our pro bowl LB and put Minter in.

  637. Moreon Says:

    Defense getting toasted

  638. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Here comes you like that 2.0

  639. unbelievable Says:

    Everyone on this defense is afraid to tackle.

    WTF happened to them?

  640. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    That play call in 3rd wasn’t bad the choice to go to Miller was bad

  641. chummaster01 Says:

    Brady can audible anytime he wants its not just the play calling stop trying to deflect blame from Brady unless its still Jameis fault

  642. TRS Says:

    We have to win this game. Sick of Cousins.

  643. rrsrq Says:

    We supposedly have weapons all over the field, but other teams show us how to move the ball, #hownottogothreeandoit

  644. spicoli Says:

    what happened with Bowles exotic blitzes?

  645. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    It looks to me like 23 points ain’t gonna do it. I think we still need another 7.

  646. Beej Says:

    yup

  647. Moreon Says:

    Will the Vikings let the Bucs win this one stick around one more quarter

  648. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Brady has freedom…the execution of the plays is the problem. Brady has a large share of the blame

  649. Wesley Says:

    Someone step up and make a freakin play!

  650. cmurda Says:

    Offense needs to do some more but the defense is co collapsible every game. Ruin a defense that played well in the second half and this is a tired

  651. Bucs4Life Says:

    chummaster01 Says:

    Brady can audible anytime he wants its not just the play calling stop trying to deflect blame from Brady unless its still Jameis fault

    ——————————–

    Unfornately african-americans whether its winston, todd bowles, gerald mccoy, jameis, lovie, raheem, now antonio brown and mike evans. This team is vastly upgraded from 2019. Matt gay missed 12 kicks in 2019, our starting running back was peyton barber( who is currently a practice player). But somehow jameis got all the blame

  652. Coburn Says:

    Fully expected some Rojo…

  653. Beej Says:

    Apparently they’ve been tired since the opening drive

  654. Coburn Says:

    Hmm Vikings still running the ball.. maybe could learn something from them?

  655. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    chummaster, your boy Jay Miss is a 3rd stringer! Let that marinate in that melon of yours. Third string! That means in the opinion of NFL coaches and GMs, he’s no better than the 65th best QB in the league! No one even wanted him as a backup!

  656. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Geez…just go ahead and give them another 6

  657. aj Says:

    Shaq Barrett. Paging Shaq Barret.

    It is money time. So go earn some.

  658. Wesley Says:

    Come on Devin.

  659. cmurda Says:

    One of the slowest qbs just runs down the throat of this tissue soft front 7

  660. TRS Says:

    This defense, man.

  661. rodmunch74 Says:

    Who do the Bucs need to keep on defense?

  662. cmurda Says:

    Winfield is tending way way down. Depressing

  663. chummaster01 Says:

    embarrassing even if they win

  664. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Is the warm weather sapping the energy out of the Vikings yet?

  665. TRS Says:

    Making Irv look like a HOFer

  666. Sourbob Says:

    This D cant defend a pass to save their lives!

  667. cmurda Says:

    Bowles collapsible defense. Pathetic

  668. Jimbo219 Says:

    This defense is sorry, they suck. They can’t stop anybody

  669. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    LOL…there starting tackle is out with an eye injury and we still can’t do anything with that.

  670. garbs65 Says:

    damn.

  671. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    why can’t we give Rojo those holes…

  672. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    I wanna see more of Dan Bailey!

  673. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    3rd and 2….4 down territory….book it

  674. chummaster01 Says:

    viking kicker kept us in the game!!

  675. TRS Says:

    Pathetic!

  676. ATrain Says:

    Can someone got this commentator a bib

    He is going to make a mess as hard as he is on the Vikings Jock

  677. Moreon Says:

    Vikings get positive yard on every play

  678. Swanee22 Says:

    More points for Vikings again,,,, our defense sucks on tackling. Seriously sucks. Why are GM drafted and obtained these non athletes is a wonder our GM made it through P E in school.

  679. Wesley Says:

    Embarrassing defense, just pathetic.

  680. Coburn Says:

    Drives me nuts how many times he’s narrowly escaped sacjs and also taken off

  681. BCULAW Says:

    You have to be kidding me with this D. Cousins on a QB draw????.

  682. cmurda Says:

    FIRE BOWLES. His defense is trash when it matters

  683. garbs65 Says:

    I don’t know why the Vikings ever pass because we can’t stop the run all of a sudden

  684. ATrain Says:

    Vita Vea is The Anchor

    Defense had no been the same since he got hurt

  685. Moreon Says:

    Since the New York Giants game defense is just gonna be going downhill

  686. rodmunch74 Says:

    No way we win

  687. Sourbob Says:

    Cousins might have more yards than ROJO

  688. Buc'n Enough Says:

    Where the hell is Devin White been all game?

  689. TRS Says:

    Almost had the turnover. Almost.

  690. garbs65 Says:

    That’s intentional grounding.

  691. Sourbob Says:

    Cant even recover a fumble right SMH

  692. Logan Says:

    Making Kirk Cousins look like Lamar Jackson.

  693. spicoli Says:

    that would’ve been a big recovery

  694. TRS Says:

    Well, back to back sacks is good in this case.

  695. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    What was that about Winfield

  696. spicoli Says:

    Big STOP DEF

  697. Beej Says:

    damn, they pushing them back nearly out of FG range

  698. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Man, cousins landed right on it. How’s your luck?

  699. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Maybe we can hold them to under 400 yards of offense? I think NOT!

  700. Coburn Says:

    Well… They just made up for it lol

  701. TRS Says:

    I LOVE Dan Bailey!!!!!!

  702. Sourbob Says:

    WOW

  703. Beej Says:

    OMG, he missed another one

  704. crazyBucs_CL Says:

    our D is making cousin look better then Mahomes II….

  705. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    He is definitely TOAST now

  706. cmurda Says:

    Wow. Dan Bailey is a huge Bucs fan

  707. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Like I said, I wanna see more of Dan Bailey!!! Phish and the Dead, in his head!

  708. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Wow

  709. spicoli Says:

    POTG – Dan Baily MIN K

  710. TBTeddy Says:

    Lmao this is great

  711. Beej Says:

    He’s like our guy in the Giants game last year

  712. TRS Says:

    Bailey is my favorite non Bucs kicker today!!!!!

  713. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Two big sacks – but there were a lot of near sacks on the drive. Shame the secondary lets them down.

  714. garbs65 Says:

    whatever defense we were playing….we need more of it!

  715. Bucfan81 Says:

    Give Dan Bailey a Bucs jersey please…

  716. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Now we must score 7

  717. rodmunch74 Says:

    Go job Bailey

  718. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    R-U-N

  719. TRS Says:

    Ten points this guy has saved us!!!!!! If we win, he gets a game ball!

  720. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    SOURBOB, he fell directly on the ball nothing could be done about that

  721. TBTeddy Says:

    Idk why y’all stressing how many yards the Vikings have it’s the points that matter

  722. SKBucsfan Says:

    I wonder if Licht has this guy in his short list for kickers next year.

  723. ElioT Says:

    Huge stand by the defense.

    Dudes play hard.

  724. unbelievable Says:

    This defense couldn’t be more soft if it tried.

    At least Dan Bailey is keeping us in the game.

    Let’s see if the offense will shat all over itself again or actually put another drive together….

  725. Moreon Says:

    Need a long drive by offense now

  726. UKBuccaneer Says:

    Naples – Exactly. 9 times out of 10 the defense recover that.

  727. rrsrq Says:

    Mr. Bailey might be looking at 3rd prize

  728. chummaster01 Says:

    need to send that kicker a game check

  729. unbelievable Says:

    lol agreed TRS

  730. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    3 missed FGs and a missed XP. He has kicked the ball 4 times attempting to put 10 points on the board and has a big, fat ZERO.
    Tomorrow, he’ll be flipping burgers or a Christmas Jumper for UPS. I can’t imagine another team bringing him in after putting on the tape of this game.

  731. Beej Says:

    can we get 10 yards in 3 runs?

  732. Coburn Says:

    Put this game away. Feed Rojo… Late in the half, our guys just came off a bye. C’mon

  733. Swanee22 Says:

    Vikings kicker is worse then I can imagine. I was way off. Absolutely should be fired…. you’re telling me the GM hires this kicker. GM should be a long way from a football building.

  734. SRG Says:

    Hey Byron how about a long long drive and not three and out.

  735. aj Says:

    Can you cut a guy in game? Thanks Bailey!

  736. Moreon Says:

    Hoots worry about how many yards giving up on a regular basis if want to make the playoffs

  737. Buczilla Says:

    LOL, the Viking’s kicking game looks like the one one we had before this year.

  738. Elita Vita Says:

    Note to Bruce Arians: Don’t forget to give Bailey (Viking’s Kicker) his Buccaneer payroll check this week.

  739. Miller5252 Says:

    Between the kicker and the refs the Vikings have given this game away. Tampa hasn’t done anything AGAIN to show they’re a good team. Tampa really should even be wining this game. Tampa looked so good at the beginning of the season and hasn’t looked right since the Saints beat down. Glad they’re gonna win and possibly make the playoffs, but don’t look good doing it.

  740. TRS Says:

    rrsrq, T-Kras would be proud of you.

  741. Bucamania Says:

    Why is Brady panicking in the pocket?

  742. Moreon Says:

    Still have three more games after this one

  743. Scotty in Fat Antonio Says:

    Another ceremonial 3 and out?

  744. chummaster01 Says:

    why are we throwing the ball???

  745. TRS Says:

    Can we just get a first down?

  746. King C Says:

    We’ve seen the Bailey fiasco from the other side. Would rather beat a team without depending on their kicker imploding. He might be cut by 5:00

  747. Beej Says:

    hint: STAY in bounds

  748. TRS Says:

    Thank you, AB.

  749. Beej Says:

    NICE timing RoJo

  750. TRS Says:

    Go RoJo!

  751. Moreon Says:

    Keep the ball moving and keep Vikings offense off the field

  752. Beej Says:

    went out of bounds tho

  753. rrsrq Says:

    Our offensive line hasn’t moved the line of scrimmage today

  754. TRS Says:

    Need a TD

  755. Sourbob Says:

    Run,dink and dunk,kill time and score points

  756. Beej Says:

    they are waiting on it now

  757. cmurda Says:

    I hate that last run. Play action and win this game. I don’t want to leave it to the defense

  758. aj Says:

    Clock does not stop until 5 minutes left. So doesn’t matter in or out yet.

  759. Swanee22 Says:

    Stupid call BA

  760. crazyBucs_CL Says:

    go for it

  761. cmurda Says:

    No. Go for it

  762. DavidBigBucsFan99 Says:

    What great blocking

  763. TRS Says:

    Wanted 7 got 3

  764. Sourbob Says:

    Sweet

  765. garbs65 Says:

    i hate that call on 3rd and long

  766. Bucamania Says:

    Good job Succop

  767. Beej Says:

    Succop mvp

  768. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Never say never with these Bucs. However, if we give up 2 TDs and lose this sucker with 5 minutes to go, we deserve to lose. Actually, if Bailey could do anything and we didn’t get that PI call with 1 second to go in the half, we would have lost this game.

  769. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    This is SAD Bucs fans…if MN has a kicker we are only up by 3…ONLY 3 AGAINST A SUBPAR TEAM!!!!

  770. Sourbob Says:

    Damn,isn’t it nice not to have to sweat a kicker ( at least not ours for a change)

  771. TRS Says:

    One more defensive stop!

  772. crazyBucs_CL Says:

    crappie coaching…. continue…..

  773. ElioT Says:

    Would have preferred a TD but decent drive to put another 3 on the board.

    6 point swing.

    Let’s go defense!!!

  774. Beej Says:

    yep

  775. rrsrq Says:

    It’s time to force a turnover and ice this game

  776. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Make them earn their points……nothing deep…

  777. TRS Says:

    How about one more late TD to put us over 30 points.

  778. fudbucly Says:

    I feel ya Vikings fans … buuuttt … I’ll take it!

  779. Ftmyersbuc Says:

    You guys hollering go for are not much of football strategists are you?

  780. Tbbucs3 Says:

    Alvin

    Never saw you do that type of kicking math when Matt Gay left all those points on the board last year against the Falcons, Giants, Etc.

  781. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Hard to feel any confidence in this team right now…I guess getting to the playoffs is the goal and see what happens then

  782. UKBuccaneer Says:

    It’s easy to say ‘we won because of a kicker’ or ‘we won because of refs’ – but in the past we’ve always lost and blamed those same damn things.

    This is still the best season we’ve seen in a long, long time. Enjoy the ride.

  783. DBS Says:

    It sad our defense is this bad. Plenty of points to Win. NO EXCUSES.

  784. TRS Says:

    Get the ball back, Defense!!!

  785. UKBuccaneer Says:

    I’ll take a playoff appearance with some undeserved wins rather than going 3-13 again and thinking about the draft from October onwards.

  786. TRS Says:

    Almost had it!!!!!!

  787. TRS Says:

    Cousins will hand us the game if we keep pressuring him.

  788. Beej Says:

    Devon White has regressed this year, pity

  789. ElioT Says:

    Why decline that holding?

  790. TRS Says:

    Just can’t stop these guys on 4th down.

  791. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Tbbucs3….Gay wasn’t nearly as bad in that Giants game as Bailey has been today. He has made NOTHING, NADA, ZIPPO!

  792. TRS Says:

    Nice, Lavonte.

  793. crazyBucs_CL Says:

    an other forth…

  794. spicoli Says:

    Best cover LB —- LVD

  795. TRS Says:

    STOP THEM!!!!!

  796. Beej Says:

    White is the faster guy too

  797. aj Says:

    Let the clock keep ticking.

  798. TRS Says:

    Another timeout they burn. Nice.

  799. crazyBucs_CL Says:

    make me puke…..

  800. TRS Says:

    Unreal.

  801. Coburn Says:

    Disappointing just rushing 4 on 4th

  802. TRS Says:

    Just needed one freaking stop on 4th down.

  803. Beej Says:

    damn, Cook got his hundred

  804. crazyBucs_CL Says:

    what a crappie D….. all forth down went through…..

  805. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    Honestly, our defense flat out stinks. Two shots to get off the field on 4th and pretty long.

  806. ElioT Says:

    Come on defense!!!!

  807. EA Says:

    #45 is a liability is a major liability in coverage, did I say that ????

  808. TRS Says:

    Nice one, O’Connor!!!!

  809. cmurda Says:

    Devin White is a terrible cover backer. He’s a weak spot. Cousins targets him. He’s not even remotely decent. There needs to be some coaching there. That’s a 4th and 5 and White didn’t recognize the slant. Get better White. You got a long way to go

  810. aj Says:

    Nice. Split the double team.
