Monitoring A New Baker Mayfield Injury
October 15th, 2023
“Maybe, Kyle. Maybe.”
UPDATED: The Kyle Trask faithful is on the edge of their barstools.
What’s wrong with Baker Mayfield’s shoulder? ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington shared on X that Mayfield was headed for X-rays on his left shoulder after today’s blowout loss to the Lions. That surprised Joe a bit because it was in his right shoulder armpit where Mayfield was drilled on the final Bucs drive.
It was a nasty, nasty shot. Mayfield’s arm was hit as he waited for Mike Evans to get more depth downfield.
Mayfield was seen on FOX kneeling after the game and talking to playcaller Dave Canales, and not quite looking himself.
Joe thinks Mayfield would have to have quite a signficant injury in a non-throwing shoulder to keep him out of Sunday’s game against the Falcons. Mayfield knows what missing a start could mean for his future, and Trask’s.
UPDATE: Todd Bowles says it was Mayfield’s left hand that was injured, a contusion. And X-rays were negative. Phewww.

Kyle Trask time bebe!!!!!!!
October 15th, 2023 at 7:45 pm
I’m sure his feelings were hurt after such a bad game.
October 15th, 2023 at 7:46 pm
Said during the QB competition, Baker would start, but will he finish? His history says no.
October 15th, 2023 at 7:47 pm
He took a late hit to the chops not called and got his left shoulder crunched on the last throw – he was wincing all the way off the field
It might not be a bad thing to give Kyle a shot
Baker showed his true self today – he is Steve Deberg reincarnated
October 15th, 2023 at 7:47 pm
Put Trask in now. Maybe he can hit wide open receivers…..Mayfield can not.
October 15th, 2023 at 7:50 pm
Is there a better way to read and post on the Game Day chat without refreshing and constantly scrolling to the bottom of a monstrous feed?
October 15th, 2023 at 7:52 pm
Becareful what you ask for……….
October 15th, 2023 at 7:52 pm
How lame the last weeks info looks now. Pro Bowl Super Bowl nope…Maybe the Puppy Bowl. Told Ya So….DO NOT COUNT CHICKENS people. Get real.
October 15th, 2023 at 7:55 pm
Hope Mayfield is ok but it seems like the entire offense was injured today the way it played
October 15th, 2023 at 7:56 pm
This makes the Atlanta game a must win…….they are certainly no Lions……out Defense stopped the run today but got burned by Geoff…..
October 15th, 2023 at 7:56 pm
Did any of you watch the game? 13 missed two first down throws and was called for pass interference. he was not ready to play today. The defense stopped the run but couldn’t get off the field on third down. The zone pass defense was not good. Lions made some incredible catches especially the one for the clinching TD. Baker was not good but he was not the reason we lost.

HC grover Says:
October 15th, 2023 at 7:47 pm
Put Trask in now. Maybe he can hit wide open receivers…..Mayfield can not.
^^^^^^^
Ah, Habitual Complainer is complaining. Shocker. Old HC needs to find a different hobby other than b!tching, maybe tiddlywinks or something more his speed.
October 15th, 2023 at 7:58 pm
As soon as Trask gets his opportunity it’s over.
Everyone knows this.
October 15th, 2023 at 7:58 pm
His shoulder hurts so he overthrows wide open receivers for TDS? OK put Trask in.
October 15th, 2023 at 7:59 pm
no run game; Evans dropping passes; any qb is going to struggle playing like this..
October 15th, 2023 at 7:59 pm
Buddha yes he was.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:00 pm
Bowles says it was his hand, not shoulder. Was a nasty hit though for sure.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:00 pm
Let’s be honest. This loss is on 2 people. Bowles for his BS predictable 3rd down blitz and the dust in the wind Mike 13. Prove ne wrong.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:00 pm
J.I.M you are such a football fool and a max loser. Please go get your operation asap.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:01 pm
Question; what in the ever living F#CK did we do during this bye week?
October 15th, 2023 at 8:01 pm
Baker has to do too much.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:04 pm
Atlanta game is a must evasive if the Bucs lose another game like this then yea all the talk about them having a top ten pick was accurate. We should be the one feeling the squeeze
Trask or mayfield who hell cares. Win the division just to get destroyed game one of the playoffs again. That is not something I wish to see again.
Maybe losing the division will being this front office back to reality. Can’t continue to be happy because you beat Medicore teams
October 15th, 2023 at 8:05 pm
I agree Joe, that hit on his last drive didn’t look good at all. Helmet right to the throwing elbow and his arm bending in a weird way. The Trask faithful want their boy suited up and given the keys to the ride but, everything we saw this preseason didn’t look better than Mayfield. Plus we still have a division to win and Baker gives us the best shot.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:05 pm
“ and not quite looking himself.”
That was the offensive arse whipping he just took.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:07 pm
3 years in a row we have lost after the BYE Week.
I wasn’t expecting anything today unfortunately.
Clearly, we don’t know how to manage/handle the time off and use it to our advantage.
Big game next week.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:07 pm
Mayfield is not the answer. Not even worth the 4 million. Not even 1 million. He can not throw to wide open receivers.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
WE have not had a running game EVER under Licht… Evert draft he picks a guy and plays him out of position… got lucky with ALi. Yet to draft a great RB… OL and RB falls directly on poor drafting!
October 15th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
This would have been a different game if Baker could hit wide open receivers and if he was three inches taller, three passes batted at the line, one to a wide open Evans. This team is not going anywhere with Baker Mayfield under center, he’s a good quality back-up at best who can win a few games but can’t step up in big games.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
Thank Baker for starting us off but our offense is just not good enough. We can beat mediocre or bad teams but get beat by every REAL contender. Baker is not our future. Start Trask! If he plays well? Great! If he’s also mediocre. we now have a backup QB with game experience. Its not impressive to win a bad division and get blown out in the playoffs… again.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
Yes Buddha I watched most of the game but flipped off of it about mid 3rd quarter couldn’t watch no more I also saw 3 passes batted down. 1 when Evans was open and may have score 1 with a wide screen with blockers that was sure to be a big gainer and another that would’ve at least been a first down and as you spoke of Evans penalty in the red that cost the team and his drop that would’ve kept a drive going. Nevertheless, my question is, was all these knock downs due to a injury he have been playing with, his height or what

^^^^^
Mike is losing $$$ with every game. The last three have been bad.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:19 pm
if Baker leads QBs in all categories how come we cant put up more than 6 points? We got the wrong coach, wrong OC and wrong QB. Get Trask in soon and replace coaches after the season. If not it will only het worse.

Watch the postgame speech by Bowles, he said for everyone to at least “jog”.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
Well, that was most certainly a disappointing display of offensive prowess. The defense was reasonably good, but Canales/Baker laid an egg.
Joe, umm, I would put to rest your stated fears that Canales will get a head coaching job come Springtime. Yeah, I feared that too. Now …I have to wonder if he has a future as an OC.
I am very disappointed.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
“Jog”
🤣
October 15th, 2023 at 8:29 pm
This game reminded me of the creamsicle years when I always had heart-stopping moments whenever someone attempted to kick. It was almost always horrible. It started to feel the same in this game when Baker attempted a pass. It was sort of like long-forgotten muscle memory. AAARGH!!
October 15th, 2023 at 8:31 pm
Lemme rephrase. Baker Mayfield = a much shorter Mike Glennon.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:40 pm
20-6 is a “blowout loss” now?
We looked like dookie most certainly, but 14 points ain’t a blowout Joe.
Dallas getting beat 42-10 last week was a blowout loss.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:40 pm
Crockett Baker I try to forget those days but you’re right. Back then I had got to a point where I was looking forward to the draft in November
October 15th, 2023 at 8:47 pm
Most of you are abunch of jack asses. We are a middle of the pack football team that faced a well oiled machine today. New Offensive scheme, new coaches, new QB trying to learn the system & get to know his recievers. On the bright side next time we win a game you all will act like we’re the best team in the league. We’re a team that may win the weakest division in football by default. Then you all will be bent out of shape when we get destroyed in the first round of playoffs. It’s called GROWTH. I give the bucs credit for hanging in the first half today. I give you commenters credit for consistently being stupid with a 0 Football IQ.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:50 pm
If Trask has to start, this season is done.
October 15th, 2023 at 8:52 pm
We all know someone’s a gaytor boi and a trash oops trask fan bou groovey baby
October 15th, 2023 at 8:58 pm
When I decided to pick up my phone and check the JBFans page, I knew I was going to read about the Trask nuthuggers
bitching and calling for him to start over Baker.They didn’t disappoint….lol
For all of you in the Trask mob: Be careful of what you wish. Trask wold have been killed in this game.
October 15th, 2023 at 9:22 pm
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Please tell me how excited you are and proud you are to have made Faker Mayfailed our QB1, now? Todd Bowles should be fired!! Kyle Trask was the right man for the QB1 position. I mean how many incomplete passes and interceptions does the Faker have to make for you to see y’all got played? #SuchADisgrace #WhatAJoke
October 15th, 2023 at 9:24 pm
Sub 500 team with Brady… WTG y’all expect Baker to do???? Jason Licht is as sub 500 GM without the Brady years…. Dude sucks!
October 15th, 2023 at 9:47 pm
Anyone saying don’t start Trask must be big fans of batted balls and missed deep shots. Put the kid in.
October 15th, 2023 at 10:16 pm
We would be 0-5 with Trask starting, just saying
October 15th, 2023 at 10:16 pm
Jared Goff had batted balls. Mike Evans drops passes. One of the deep passes Palmer turns around way too soon and it slows his route down. Ya there were some bad throws but what help is he getting? Runs for 1 or 2 yards doesn’t open up anything. Several really good teams had a bad weekend. Purdy lost to a XFL quarterback and Hurts lost to Wilson. Baker is still good just like the other guys but no run game or drops or letting a 20 yard wide open area in the middle of the field every defensive play isn’t helping anything either.
October 15th, 2023 at 11:37 pm
Admittedly, Baker was not exactly helped byany of his teammates. It’s not quite time to replace him just yet.
October 16th, 2023 at 12:08 am
The game calls: 3 and 1 either roll out or run… 3 and 2 run vs a throw. The roll outs were working. Staying in the pocket was a nightmare. The running game misses a major running back
October 16th, 2023 at 7:15 am
In that photo, the guy on the left looks like an NFL quarterback, the guy on the right looks like a baker at Krispy Kreme.
October 16th, 2023 at 7:45 am
I was disappointed but one glaring fact stood out in this game: the atrocious, one-sided referring. Lions probably would have won if these yahoos were actually doing their jobs, but the score would have been closer and given a better picture of the Bucs O. BTW, you bozos, JTS had quite a few plays.
October 16th, 2023 at 8:33 am
I have always been a Mike Evans fan, he will get his big contract. I have told anyone that will listen he could have been the greatest to ever play the position if he could just catch the easiest passes. He makes unbelievable catch after catch but somehow seem to drop passes when the team needs a big third down play. The other thing that gets under my skin I feel like he takes to many plays off. I wish him the best of luck in the future come on Mike catch the damn ball.
October 16th, 2023 at 9:22 am
The Bucs have scored 90 points all year folks, I wouldn’t get too excited about this team. If they win six games I’ll be surprised.
October 16th, 2023 at 10:36 am
Defense was on a pretty heavy, so give him a chance before throwing in the towel and Kyle Trask will get his chance just everybody be patient and continue to support our team
October 16th, 2023 at 6:27 pm
You Baker-Hating, jock-sniffing Trask lovers make me want to puke! What a bunch of whiners. You’re certainly not not Bucs fans and you certainly don’t know football. Hopefully, Baker isn’t injured because if he is you can kiss the season goodbye because Trask doesn’t have it.
October 16th, 2023 at 9:04 pm
Oh ok I didn’t realize we were going to blame the quarterback for this game. Bench baker lol so sad
Uh if Trask ends up in the starting lineup it’s because the Bucs gave up on their season.
Trask is not Brock Purdy, he’s a second round pick. How many backup quarterbacks play better than the starter In the Super Bowl era so since 1970? Not counting being injured I can’t name them but I’ll give you 5.
October 17th, 2023 at 11:28 am
I agree with orlbuc fan. The refs sucked more than the Trask fans think Baker did. Every NFL team looks Super Bowl ready when they can hold with impunity. I saw it during SF and Jets game. Saw it on last TD by Lions. Replay with announcers bragging on Geoff for staying in the pocket showed lineman with a hand death gripping the inside of the shoulder pads ushering Bucs pass rusher to the left and opening throwing lane. DB on the Evans interference should be playing in major soccer league. He has the falls down. That said, Bucs are 3-2 and you Baker haters predicted 1-4 at best. Run game needs to get better and everything else will get better for the offense. Still looking at 11-5 or 12-4 season unless Trask fans get their wish. Then you can flip that prediction. 5-11 or 4-12.
