Buccaneers-Steelers, Open Thread
August 11th, 2023
Football is back, baby!
Yeah, most Bucs starters aren’t playing — except at quarterback. (See the list on the home page.)
It should be great fun, and certainly better than training camp practices that feature faux tackling and simulated ball.
Go Bucs! Comments below. Please play nice.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:03 pm
Barring injury, this will be Devin White’s best year to date.
Mayfield won’t make it past the bye week.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:04 pm
Watch for batted down passes and fumbles.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:04 pm
Whoop! There it is!!!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:04 pm
Yeah football is back. Not sure if that is a good thing or not? But Go Bucs! Let’s hope for an injury free game.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:05 pm
If the bucs end up with both QBs injured…Brady returns.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:05 pm
Let the BUC bashing begin. All doom and gloomers start your hate now
August 11th, 2023 at 7:05 pm
This felt like the shortest off season ever.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:06 pm
OMG!! Baker doesn’t have the starting O-line!! Doesn’t sound like someone thats penciled in as the starter to me. LOL! They’re throwing him into the fire to see how he reacts.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:08 pm
It’s pre season i wouldn’t put much opinion into it. No one is even game planning. This will be good to see how the rookies and young kids perform though.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:09 pm
Hot Dog Up the Gut!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:09 pm
Leftwich special to start
August 11th, 2023 at 7:09 pm
And ,run up the middle.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:09 pm
2 up the guts!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:10 pm
Good pickups though
August 11th, 2023 at 7:10 pm
Better push than they got all last year
August 11th, 2023 at 7:10 pm
Hah! Run play up the gut! Who saw that coming???
August 11th, 2023 at 7:10 pm
3 up the guts! Hot Diggity DOG.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:11 pm
LOL three runs. Welcome to the Baker offense.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:11 pm
Perfect Bowls season start.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:12 pm
I hope the Steelers score a TD here.
That will force Mayfield to pass.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:12 pm
The Bowles offense ballin!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:12 pm
Buc Ball!!!
Here we go again.
We’re used to this.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:13 pm
Maybe Alstott can make a comeback.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:13 pm
He gets the Boowels
August 11th, 2023 at 7:13 pm
Nice pass rush eh?
August 11th, 2023 at 7:14 pm
Diaby held the edge on that run
August 11th, 2023 at 7:15 pm
Why are so many other starters missing this game?
August 11th, 2023 at 7:15 pm
Having flashbacks of last year….
August 11th, 2023 at 7:16 pm
Tough run right there
August 11th, 2023 at 7:16 pm
Nobody within 10 yards of QB. Lolol
August 11th, 2023 at 7:17 pm
Maybe Bowls let staters play later when cool off.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:17 pm
Ya Ya
August 11th, 2023 at 7:18 pm
Terrible
August 11th, 2023 at 7:18 pm
Bozo boat leaking.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:18 pm
Like taking candy from a baby
August 11th, 2023 at 7:18 pm
Nice product on tbe field. How embarrassing.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:19 pm
Did anyone count how many missed tackles there were?
August 11th, 2023 at 7:19 pm
We will leave no man uncovered.
The lawn chair 4!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:19 pm
Here comes Bowles up the gut handoff specialist Mayfield.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:19 pm
Hardly any defensive starters playing though.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:19 pm
It’s only preseason everyone. No need to worry yet.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:19 pm
Yaya got tackled on that last play. I am interested to see how he does in these preseason games
August 11th, 2023 at 7:20 pm
Got em right where we want them.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:20 pm
Gonna be a loooong year. That’s not doom and gloom. It’s called reality
August 11th, 2023 at 7:20 pm
Nice!! Start the new season just as you ended the last one. Consistency is im portant.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:21 pm
3 runs and a false start!!!!
Td on the first drive VS the D
Todd is in mid season form already!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:21 pm
It’s pretty easy to score when your starters are playing backups lol yeah that was REAAAAL impressive lol yaya starting off strong
August 11th, 2023 at 7:21 pm
.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:23 pm
Logan hall is invisible already and it’s preseason, he can’t be a starter over will
August 11th, 2023 at 7:24 pm
nice run
August 11th, 2023 at 7:25 pm
Mother nice up the guts.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:25 pm
Leftwich special
August 11th, 2023 at 7:26 pm
What speed Mayfield has.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:26 pm
What the F is wrong with this team? My God!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:26 pm
The refs are in prime form I see.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:27 pm
What the hell was Baker waiting for there?
August 11th, 2023 at 7:27 pm
Phantom hold. Sounds about right
August 11th, 2023 at 7:27 pm
This is shockingly BADDDDDDDD
August 11th, 2023 at 7:27 pm
Bwahhhaha.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:28 pm
Why didn’t Bowles contest that phantom hold? He’s a damn mannequin. I despise him as a coach.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:29 pm
Kind of sucks that Mayfield doesn’t have a first string O line at least for a few series.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:31 pm
I gotta get a hobby. Watching this team could get unbearable this season. Todd Bowles should apologize to every fan for this product.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:31 pm
Another strategic loss by Bowles. Just terrible that the first string isn’t in to just help again team confidence.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:31 pm
Why didn’t Bowles contest that phantom hold?
How??
August 11th, 2023 at 7:31 pm
Who is up for a 96 yard drive right here?
August 11th, 2023 at 7:32 pm
Bowzo has his pre planed excuse…the starters are not in there.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:33 pm
Nice swarming D
August 11th, 2023 at 7:33 pm
Camp meat playing on D and O. No concern, yet
August 11th, 2023 at 7:33 pm
Can we get 3?
August 11th, 2023 at 7:34 pm
Trask is luckiest man in Ray Jay.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:35 pm
I would like to see the Bucs run to the right side.
Need to see if Maunch and Goedeke are for real.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:35 pm
Hope they can gain a few yards so we can check out the new kicker.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:38 pm
We’re getting some good runs!!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:39 pm
LOL Baker looks like ish
August 11th, 2023 at 7:40 pm
All of those formation flags is not a sign of leadership by the QB
August 11th, 2023 at 7:41 pm
Declined that penalty helping Bake out lololol
August 11th, 2023 at 7:41 pm
How horrible is this OC. Twice already a WR covering another eligible receiver.
Over/under that happening 10 times this year, 20 times? Jeez.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:41 pm
At least 3 pts. Due to penalties.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:42 pm
Good to see RBs moving there feet and going forward and not running in place
August 11th, 2023 at 7:42 pm
4 penalties on the Bucs and we are not even in half time really an eye opener here lol
August 11th, 2023 at 7:43 pm
This looks like last year, the offensive line couldn’t hold up so nothing but short throws
August 11th, 2023 at 7:43 pm
Let’s see how next week goes with some starters. Worse case this team is horrible and we get a top 5 pick and a new coach.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:43 pm
The Joe’s keep telling us how impressive everyone looks. Lay off the beers.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:44 pm
First decent throw by Mayfield
August 11th, 2023 at 7:45 pm
TDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
August 11th, 2023 at 7:45 pm
missed the hole
August 11th, 2023 at 7:46 pm
Nice pass!!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:46 pm
That was out but we’ll take it
August 11th, 2023 at 7:46 pm
Go Bucs!!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:46 pm
He looked out.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:47 pm
That was a sweet throw and catch!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:47 pm
Whatever else, Palmer’s TD catch was rather beautiful
August 11th, 2023 at 7:48 pm
Lock in Devin Thompkins and Trey Palmer for the 53
August 11th, 2023 at 7:49 pm
I’m still learning the new numbers. It didn’t take long to learn #10.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:50 pm
Mayfield looking great. Penalties hurting us.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:50 pm
YESSIERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
August 11th, 2023 at 7:51 pm
Nice play McCollum!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:51 pm
Camarda is Top 3 most talented guy at his position.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:51 pm
NICE PICK
August 11th, 2023 at 7:51 pm
Nice pick! Bad throw.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:51 pm
I like it
August 11th, 2023 at 7:51 pm
The year of ZYON!!!!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:52 pm
Nice drive and score. Other than the illegal formations, happy with the start. Good job Baker.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:52 pm
So who is the sixth receiver.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:52 pm
McCollum was a liability last year. Nice to see him make a play. Hopefully this year he can be a solid backup.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:52 pm
Canales is a better play caller than lefty.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:52 pm
Zyon been guardin Evans in camp. Iron sharpens iton
August 11th, 2023 at 7:53 pm
Baker 8/9 for 41 yds.
This is the plan – high efficiency short passing game, running as a priority.
They don’t care if Baker throws for 150 yards a game – that is the game plan.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:53 pm
nice bake
August 11th, 2023 at 7:54 pm
🙂
August 11th, 2023 at 7:54 pm
Get your hands off the defender.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:55 pm
nice throws!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:56 pm
Nice pass
August 11th, 2023 at 7:56 pm
Yikes that’s ugly!
August 11th, 2023 at 7:56 pm
Never blow load in preseason!
Wait for the real deal.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:57 pm
Utterly embarrassing.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:57 pm
Reminds me of something. Oh I know. 2022.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:57 pm
Wow, O line is not getting it done.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:57 pm
keyshawn vaughn is useless
August 11th, 2023 at 7:57 pm
Perfect opportunity for a play action pass
August 11th, 2023 at 7:58 pm
Who the hell is #70, dude got wrecked. He shouldn’t even make the practice squad with that
August 11th, 2023 at 7:58 pm
vaughn is useless and the o line cannot get it done at all so predictable
August 11th, 2023 at 7:58 pm
Embarrassing for Right side of O line
August 11th, 2023 at 7:58 pm
Bucs 3 headed monster at CB – with depth in Isaac – looking very good so far.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:58 pm
OL blocking on their back. Maybe the D will trip over them.
August 11th, 2023 at 7:58 pm
Why on God’s green Earth do you hand the ball off late on a slow developing run play 6-7 yards deep in your backfield?
August 11th, 2023 at 7:59 pm
I get it these are the perfect scenarios to work on in preseason. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say a coach on the hot seat is not dumb enough to run that type of play in the regular season
August 11th, 2023 at 8:00 pm
This looks like a Bowles coached team. Geeze he’s terrible. Canales isn’t making many fans tonight either.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:02 pm
Diaby was close. Time to rest him.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:02 pm
Concerned again about the right side of the Oline
August 11th, 2023 at 8:03 pm
That’s on zyon
August 11th, 2023 at 8:04 pm
Baker efficient but Bucs trailing. This is the reality.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:05 pm
It was 98 in the shade in Citrus County today.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:05 pm
We’ll see how Maunch and Goedeke hold up, but if they can’t get a push on a running play against 2nd stringers then what’s going to happen during the regular season against starters?
August 11th, 2023 at 8:05 pm
at this point i would say we get 3 wins this season and we get the #2 overall pick
August 11th, 2023 at 8:06 pm
And here we go with Trask.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:06 pm
Just tuning – SO, how does our O-line look so far? (Objective observations, if you please)
August 11th, 2023 at 8:07 pm
Another bad running play to the right
August 11th, 2023 at 8:08 pm
What a pass!!
August 11th, 2023 at 8:09 pm
Not blaming that play on RG and RT. Kieft couldn’t block his guy.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:09 pm
Too many penalties
August 11th, 2023 at 8:09 pm
Penalty on Goedeke.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
Much plays stupid.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
trask just lost lol
August 11th, 2023 at 8:11 pm
got greedy there
August 11th, 2023 at 8:11 pm
Ughhh.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:11 pm
Bucs are tanking this season.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:11 pm
Trash being Trash
August 11th, 2023 at 8:12 pm
Maunch had his arms around his defender, should have been a holding penalty on the interception.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:12 pm
Playcalling is suspect
August 11th, 2023 at 8:13 pm
Trask you can not make that throw on third down. Bad judgement.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:14 pm
All teams run a vanilla offense in preseason. Don’t expect an open upspeed offense
August 11th, 2023 at 8:14 pm
Can we stop with trask talk now. Drafting him instead of a def player who could keep starters fresh cost us rams game. Huge mistake!
August 11th, 2023 at 8:15 pm
They will ticket the officials for littering.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
Typical Todd Bowles team. Undisciplined, missed tackles, 4 times the number of penalties. SMH. He was TERRIBLE in NY and he’s TERRIBLE here in Tampa!
August 11th, 2023 at 8:18 pm
Good series by defense
August 11th, 2023 at 8:18 pm
Gill looks recovered which is a good sign.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:22 pm
,
August 11th, 2023 at 8:22 pm
Brady liked the video of the Mayfield pass on Instagram. That seals the deal. Mayfield is QB 1
August 11th, 2023 at 8:22 pm
Edmonds in pass pro is big no no LMAO.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:22 pm
Right side looked good on that series,
August 11th, 2023 at 8:23 pm
Uggg dropsies.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:23 pm
Should’ve been caught
August 11th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
Brady’s on instachat? Still a kid I guess.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
Better plays on the other side.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
Sirvocea Denis had no idea where the ball was at
August 11th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
Good hit on the QB
August 11th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
Baker = take the captain checkdown passes
Trask = yolo throw 20 yards downfield
August 11th, 2023 at 8:26 pm
It feels like Trask plays in slow motion, and not in a good way.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:27 pm
Gill should make the team and he has ST value.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:27 pm
Trask will end up as the 3rd option. He’s a turnover machine.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:27 pm
Lol.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:28 pm
Can Joe get off Trasks nuts now and show QB1 some love?
August 11th, 2023 at 8:28 pm
Cut that waste Kleft.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:29 pm
FFS… This is not going to go well. And I have decided that I don’t care. Someone let me know when Bowles is gone.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:29 pm
Man Ramirez is so fast off the ball.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:30 pm
What a disgusting performance tonight. Todd Bowles ought to be ashamed.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:30 pm
Their scrubs whupped our scrubs.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:30 pm
No juice whatsoever up front on either side of the ball. Hope no starters get hurt this season
August 11th, 2023 at 8:30 pm
I might have to adjust my win projection down to 4 wins max
What a pitiful display of inept football, right in line with a Todd Bowles led team
August 11th, 2023 at 8:31 pm
Unwatchable I thought Byron Leftwich was fired
August 11th, 2023 at 8:32 pm
Diaby and Gill were on the other side of the LoS for most of the game so far.
Ramirez is fast and Nelson plays the run so well.
But the OL? I am slightly concerned as short yardage situations were mostly a disaster.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:32 pm
On a 1-5 scale, I’ll give the RT/RG combo of Godeke/Maunch a 2 for the first half. Too many negative run plays to their side and a penalty on each of them.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:33 pm
Yeah I think that is fair. Too much inexperience on the right side and it shows. At least Goedeke looks competent in pass pro but when it comes at the point of attack that right side was a big reason the Bucs were not able to convert short yardage situations so far.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:33 pm
Regroup and show you want a permanent job on this team.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:34 pm
Ko Keift owes Kyle Trask a steak dinner with all the trimmings at Bearn’s Steakhouse…
Great pass and the lunk head dropped it.
Come on Ko!!!!
WTF?
August 11th, 2023 at 8:34 pm
Ugly…..all the way around!!!!
…..and no, I ain’t talkin bout yo mama either!!!!
August 11th, 2023 at 8:35 pm
Palmer, Geiger, Moore and Thompkins all made catches when it mattered most. WR competition is the toughest so far.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:36 pm
I can’t even watch it up here in NC but it’s pretty obvious who the more competent QB is. This is not a competition. Trask will end up as a third option and I could care less about the UF crap. I liked James over Marion’s but it became increasingly clear after 2 yesrff so that he was not a franchise QB. Jameis is head over heels better than Trask so what the hell are you Trask supporters thinking? This is what you want to settle for? I’m a Bucs fan and am always thinking about the best option for wins.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:36 pm
So far not so great for Trask – trying to force the ball downfield and got burned. You can tell he wants to show off what he can do. Without time to throw it’s going to be rough.
We’re seeing peak Baker a quick short passing game to the backs waiting for the coverage to tighten then pop one or two to WRs.
So we got one guy who doesn’t check down and the other lives by it.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:38 pm
Irish, Trask made some good throws. One got dropped and the other INT, but he’s attacking downfield. It’s how he’s wired.
Baker 5 yards at a time and will surprise you here and there.
Contrasting styles.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:40 pm
I am 100% okay with Mayfield playing more disciplined football.
The last thing we need is Mayfield going Winston 2.0.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:41 pm
bake won, now support him bc we need him to be good!
August 11th, 2023 at 8:43 pm
I’m a Trask guy but I have to admit, Bake looked pretty good.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:44 pm
I think Trask looked better though
August 11th, 2023 at 8:45 pm
know it’s preseason but the running game ouch. 15 carries for 32 yards is horrible. 2.1 yards a carry. Yikes no Jensen no wires so I won’t read too much into it. But
August 11th, 2023 at 8:46 pm
Wirfs lol
August 11th, 2023 at 8:46 pm
They all looked terrible because the offensive game plan is terrible
August 11th, 2023 at 8:47 pm
Steelers are more polished top to bottom
August 11th, 2023 at 8:48 pm

Steelers vanilla has more flavor than ours.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:51 pm
I just had to come see what all of you Baker haters were saying after Baker goes 8/9 for 63 yards and caps it off with a beautiful TD pass to Palmer in the back of the end zone.
Of course “Happy Feet Moxie” sucks and it’s all his fault Trask threw the int. If Trask had went first instead of Happy Feet, then Trask would have scored the TD, not Moxie. It’s all a conspiracy to make Kyle look bad, because Team Glazer hates the Gators. And we all know Happy Feet and Moxie doesn’t win games. You have to be great in college like Kyle was, if you want to be good in the NFL. But Baker being good in college doesn’t count because he’s the worst QB in the league. He leads the league in interceptions.
I think that covers it all. Did I miss anything?
August 11th, 2023 at 8:52 pm
C’mon Kyle!! Do your thing! You and Baker are about even in this game. Pull away!
August 11th, 2023 at 8:52 pm
Palmer looks like a legit KR specialist.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:53 pm
Excited to see Sean Tucker
August 11th, 2023 at 8:53 pm
This Seattle offense we are implementing here in Tampa is a genius move. This dominant offensive scheme is the future of the NFL.

Its a long season. Anyone can play well in spurts
August 11th, 2023 at 8:54 pm
Pittsburgs game plan is not vanilla? Both teams in preseason. One team chooses to compete. One does not.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:54 pm
Pathetic
August 11th, 2023 at 8:54 pm
Sack from the right side. Tucker Ole blocking. AKA matador
August 11th, 2023 at 8:55 pm
After Godeke let them in
August 11th, 2023 at 8:55 pm
Goedeke turnstyle blows up that drive.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:56 pm
Man Goedeke has been a disappointment so far.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:56 pm
Byrd for the steelers looks like he still has eligibility left. High school eligibility.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:56 pm
LOL raining its one preseason game.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:58 pm
Baker is not a checkdown qb…the year he took the browns to the playoffs he had one of the highest Long ball completion percentages in the league. Wait til he has Evans and Godwin as targets. End the qb comp….quit splitting 1st team reps and let’s get to work. And trask…get baker a juicebox!
August 11th, 2023 at 9:00 pm
Toast
August 11th, 2023 at 9:00 pm
Bowles D sucks.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:00 pm
I can’t wait for the “Coach Speak” tonight…We saw some really great things tonight, We are really starting to gel as unit and, of course, Both Quarterbacks really showed some great patience and ability.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:01 pm
Pitts you are not making this roster lol.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:01 pm
We gettin a new QB in the draft next yr!!Top 5 draft pick! Thanks Todd Bowles
August 11th, 2023 at 9:02 pm
Wow for a GM and coach who said they wanted to get faster, with the exception of a couple guys they all look like they are running in mud. I see why Bowles barely runs man to man
August 11th, 2023 at 9:04 pm
LOL holding
August 11th, 2023 at 9:05 pm
Somebody on defense needs to make a play at some point to avoid being in the dog house.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:05 pm
Trask can’t catch a break
August 11th, 2023 at 9:05 pm
Tucker has some juice I like it but of course there’s a hold
August 11th, 2023 at 9:06 pm
Hainsey made a big oops.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:07 pm
That receiver wasn’t taught not to grab facemask and pullit sideways??? BOWLES SUCKS!
August 11th, 2023 at 9:07 pm
BIG PLAY
August 11th, 2023 at 9:07 pm
Look at hainsey and the Joes trying to tell us the o line wasn’t the problem. A starter from last year getting abused in preseason
August 11th, 2023 at 9:07 pm
Maunch and Goedeke another mess and penalty
August 11th, 2023 at 9:08 pm
OL starters and backups look like crap into the second half of this game.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:08 pm
Lotta drops
August 11th, 2023 at 9:08 pm
A lot of dropped passes
August 11th, 2023 at 9:09 pm
Another sack from the right side Goedeke
August 11th, 2023 at 9:09 pm
Goedeke sucks
August 11th, 2023 at 9:09 pm
NO time to throw
August 11th, 2023 at 9:09 pm
Late to the thread here. But the whole game, I’m observing a new scapegoat: Goedonkey. He is proving last year’s criticism of a bust on the left side true on the right as well. Also, I thought leftoffwhich was gone? Why are we still throwing these stupid behind-the-line WR screens? And running on 1st for zero up the gut? This running game stinks. Use the QB bootlegs. This OL needed a revamp, not a recycle. Hainsey’s not helping, either. Looks like Trask is refusing to shine, too. His INT was a late throw, he’s not looking like a gem so much. That’s my 2 cents 🙏🏼
August 11th, 2023 at 9:09 pm
Goedeke is so so bad.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:10 pm
Need OL players. Moving Wires not too bright.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:10 pm
O line is young. But three starters are playing against backups and getting smoked.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:11 pm
What does it say when a “starter” like Goedeke is still out there and being schooled by Steeler second/third stringers?
August 11th, 2023 at 9:11 pm
Like the Goedonkey nickname
August 11th, 2023 at 9:11 pm
Starting right side of the line struggling against backups backups not a good sign
August 11th, 2023 at 9:11 pm
Trask under siege, no time to throw, playing with backups, dropped passes…
Still throws for more yards than Baker.
Next week we see him with the starters.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:12 pm
Wvery available RT phone should be getting a call from the Bucs after this disgusting display of ineptitude. Dudes facing back ups and getting worked
August 11th, 2023 at 9:12 pm
Trask got baited into that pick, so he gets some blame. At this point though he has hardly any time to throw.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:12 pm
Haha you Baker haters crack me up. Trask (who I have nothing against whatsoever) has a few good days in practice, where the D isn’t allowed to sack the QB and you guys are already calling him the next TB12. Baker comes in and outplays him in a full contact game and you say it’s only preseason. Are you even able see how nonsensical your argument is? Do you really think no QB contact practice is more realistic than a full contact preseason game against another team? Really??
August 11th, 2023 at 9:12 pm
Has 67 played football before tonight?
August 11th, 2023 at 9:12 pm
One positive for Maunch and Goedeke is they are getting lots of snaps. Not too much else positive.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:12 pm
Hainsey and Goedeke suck. I sincerely hope that Jensen heals fast and there’s a plan B at Right Tackle.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:12 pm
Goedeke is a problem – and they waived a T recently. Not smart.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:12 pm
Yep how mad can you be at Peter king after watching this? Last year was hard to watch with nothing to show for it. It’ll be bad this year but at least we get a new coach quarterback combo out of it
August 11th, 2023 at 9:12 pm
Another Licht second round BUST..with Hall Goedeke and heck..toss Trask in as well.
Licht blows more premium draft picks than most.
Sure he hit a few.when Arians was coach..so who really made the picks during that time frame…I betnit was Arians…Licht Sucks
August 11th, 2023 at 9:13 pm
Cant think of many times in my long life have entered into a competitive situation and I have made a conscious decision to not compete, individually or part of a team. Bowles is not mad to be on the loser side.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:13 pm
How many penalties do we have? How many missed tackles? This team needs to learn the rules/fundamentals of the game before they think about doing anything else.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:13 pm
I rather see Leverett, Walton or Feiler at RT at this point.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:14 pm
Lol Goedeke will show up for work next week and find out he has to compete for that starting job
August 11th, 2023 at 9:14 pm
Hey Raining…
63 yards is nothing to strut about.
Then again neither is Trask’s 94
So far the O line looks like garbage.
This is a problem.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:15 pm
The starting Oline talent on the field tonight is nothing short of embarrassing ineptitude. Steelers backups are having their way with “Licht’s guys” that is beyond humiliating. Cannot evaluate much of anything when the oline is shtting the bed with such slick regularity.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:16 pm
And now the battle for backup QB
August 11th, 2023 at 9:17 pm
I know it’s preseason but man Bowles really has his team ready to play. So well prepared. He is getting embarrassed by a real nfl coach.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:17 pm
This is painful. Bring back Trent Dilfer!
Can you spell ass whipping?
August 11th, 2023 at 9:18 pm
I can’t watch game due to direct tv NBC spat. Does the two starting offensive lineman look as bad as it sounds?
August 11th, 2023 at 9:18 pm
Jeff – they look bad
August 11th, 2023 at 9:19 pm
Third string Bucs OL looks more competent than the “starters”. Scary.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:19 pm
We need to trade for a right tackle, now!!!!!
August 11th, 2023 at 9:20 pm
About what I expected from this Bowles coached team.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:20 pm
RT/RG looked better on that series, but it wasn’t Goedonkey and Maunch.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:20 pm
Hard to find a competent RT via trade. Best bet is to move Leverett or Feiler to RT. Feiler has done it as as a starter.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:21 pm
as usual it is embarassing maybe if we are lucky we get 3 wins this year
August 11th, 2023 at 9:21 pm
Letting Smith go and moving wires is looking real stupid.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:22 pm
If Goedeke and Maunch play this season like they did tonight, the Bucs-Texans game could decide if we pick 1st in the draft.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:22 pm
Toad, definitely they need to watch the waiver wire. They got embarrassed tonight.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:24 pm
Ball going back to Pitt
August 11th, 2023 at 9:25 pm
Don’t tell me it’s raining, what did Mayfield do? I would rather have Trask go 0-17 than Mayfield go 6-11.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:26 pm
Mayfield dinked and dunked and got a gift TD from the ref.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:27 pm
Trask plays in Slow Mo.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:28 pm
No fumble, but int instead!
August 11th, 2023 at 9:28 pm
Day 1-76, thank God you’re not the one making the decisions at One Buc Place.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:29 pm
Not a fan of Mayfield or Trask, but it’s clear Baker is better. No doubts.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:29 pm
Trick play after the int…Rofl.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:30 pm
Tucker good run even if there was a penalty
August 11th, 2023 at 9:31 pm
Tucker should make the squad.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:31 pm
I wouldn’t say he played in slow mo at all. I’d say the O line looked they were playing in slow mo.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:32 pm
OL doing the Gator flop.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:33 pm
9 penalties accepted 110 yds and tahe away a td. Go Bowles!! Discipline King!!
August 11th, 2023 at 9:47 pm
Gilbert is fired up.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:48 pm
Watts brings juice. Can’t keep them all.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:48 pm
Who is Watts? I like how he plays!
August 11th, 2023 at 9:50 pm
Special Teams hasn’t looked awful. That’s an improvement. I would settle for average this year.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:52 pm
All of you doom and gloom guys know we had like 15 starting players not in at all…..
August 11th, 2023 at 9:53 pm
Bucanneers football is back, baby!!! Fire the cannons!!!
If you thought 2022 was frustrating as a Bucs fan…Get ready for another one. I think 2023 just said “hold my Big Storm beer”!!!
August 11th, 2023 at 9:55 pm
So is Todd Bowles going to continue his milquetoast stupid arms folded/squint grin campaign this year too? Or is he considering maybe coaching this season? Like climbing some players when they’re making dumb decisions? I’ve never seen an NFL head coach sit back and feign disbelief when tackles hold on multiple plays, or allow sacks. As a coach, I’d rather let a scrub get embarrassed while benching a veteran than allowing the vet to lollygag. At least throw a clipboard or yell at something! #firetoddbowles
August 11th, 2023 at 9:55 pm
doom and gloom are you kidding me! so many penalties, next entire season watching this garbage sorry but we are garbage
August 11th, 2023 at 9:58 pm
Wolford to start baby
August 11th, 2023 at 9:59 pm
My problem is the Bucs starters who looked bad against the Steeler 2nd stringers. I’m speaking of the right side of the OLine. Watched them every play for the almost 3 quarters they played. Looked worse in the 3rd quarter than in the first half.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:02 pm
You can definitely see the difference between the Steelers and Bucs in coaching, understanding the game situation and discipline
August 11th, 2023 at 10:03 pm
Wolford best QB.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:05 pm
I give the kudos to the D in the 2nd half. Other than the bomb for a TD, they tightened up.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:06 pm
Durham needed that TD to prove he belongs on the squad.
Congrats to him.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:06 pm
Wolford better the trask i told yall slide him too backup and send trask too the xfl 🤣🤣
August 11th, 2023 at 10:09 pm
If Trask doesn’t show something with the starters next week, he could end up as the #3 QB again.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:10 pm
Bowles Curse on display.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:12 pm
Bucs defense 2nd half has looked better.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:12 pm
Bowles is a turd face just stands with arms crossed even if its preaseason man bruce arians ruined the bucs
August 11th, 2023 at 10:13 pm
Geiger you need to understand the game situation. Not making the squad.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:14 pm
The one sure thing we all know now is that our oline is in trouble.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:18 pm
Every single phase of the game is undisciplined!!! Dang Bowles sucks. Why are we stuck with him?
August 11th, 2023 at 10:18 pm
Tampa 95, YES!!!
August 11th, 2023 at 10:22 pm
Pitt, 6/46 penalties. Bucs 12/127 and erased a TD. Enough said! Bowles teams are undisciplined, he’s a nice guy and a horrible coach!!! FIRE TODD BOWLES!!
August 11th, 2023 at 10:44 pm
Tom most of those penalties MAYBE 10 OF 12 were on the offensive side of the ball. That goes way more on Canales then it does on Bowles.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:56 pm
Trade Goedecke and Mauch to Houston for a beef brisket sandwich and a 2025 7th round pick
August 11th, 2023 at 10:58 pm
Ko Kieft had a good game. So did Jamal Dean.
