Bucs Will Face Eagles Monday Night, Jan. 15, At 8 P.M. In Tampa
January 7th, 2024
It’s official.
The sad Eagles (11-6) limped into the playoffs today, losing to the Giants 27-10 in a game Philadelphia needed for a shot to win the NFC East. And Philly lost multiple players to injury — after they didn’t show up while the Cowboys pounded the Commanders to win the division.
As a result of their Wild Card berth, the Eagles will travel to Tampa to face the Bucs on Monday night, Jan. 15, at 8 p.m.
Joe loves the Monday night time slot. That gives Baker Mayfield an extra day to rest his messy ankle and bruised ribs, and it let’s Joe maul Big Storm beers all day on Sunday.
Overall, its a great situation for Tampa Bay, which looks like a team that requires a struggling opponent in order to advance to the next round of the postseason.
January 7th, 2024 at 7:28 pm
I like our chances!!!
January 7th, 2024 at 7:30 pm
Listen real closely….
That is the celebration of Eagle’s fans and players getting a get-right playoff game against the worst coached team in the playoffs!
January 7th, 2024 at 7:33 pm
@Tye. The Bucs are actually better coached than the Eagles right now. They are dysfunction
January 7th, 2024 at 7:33 pm
I read somewhere where the Eagles ‘wanted’ to lose to play us! Imagine that….
They’d rather travel here to beat us than face a tougher team at home…
January 7th, 2024 at 7:33 pm
Get the Sage a cheesesteak!!
January 7th, 2024 at 7:34 pm
The only playoff team we have a chance to beat. Today broke good for the Bucs. Thank You Pack
January 7th, 2024 at 7:34 pm
Best of luck to the Bucs. Too many losers today regretting that the Bucs won the division.
January 7th, 2024 at 7:35 pm
Tampas defenses has always been signature. From double V to the Tampa lawn chair two. We’re in it to win it! Lfg!
January 7th, 2024 at 7:36 pm
2nd year in a row we enter the playoffs as the weakest team. Maybe we’re lucky the Eagles have been sliding, and maybe, just maybe, they can find a way to win it… But we only beat CAR by 9… Does anyone think we’re really any good? I don’t.
January 7th, 2024 at 7:36 pm
Todd Bowels has the whole league right where he wants them.
Those poor Eagles won’t know what hit them.
Wonder if #lichtmyballs will be talking s*** on social media after next week?
January 7th, 2024 at 7:36 pm
People with short memories forget projections was the Bucs would only win a handful of games and not even win a wildcard spot. We would be one of the worst teams in the NFL.
Bowles is our coach. Baker is our QB. The team won the NFC South. We are one of the top 14 teams in the NFL. I may have questions about the team and the future beyond the season. For now, as a fan I want to congratulate them for the third title in a row and wish for them to beat the Eagles next week. Go Bucs!!!
January 7th, 2024 at 7:38 pm
This is the best possible matchup for the Bucs to get a W.
The Eagles are on a big slide, playing awful, meaning the Bucs should have a chance if Baker doesn’t play like he’s played these last two weeks.
The Bucs will still be the underdog, but anything is possible if you get good QB play … and this will be the biggest game in career of Baker, so he had better show up if he wants a new deal from anyone. If he ends the season with three horrific games in a row, with everything on the line, no one is giving him a big deal.
I’m no Baker fan, but I really really really want him to play well. There are no worse people on earth than trash from Philly – and nothing makes me more happy than to see them crying.
So let’s all hope that good Baker decides to shows up, and if he does, maybe he sticks around for a few more weeks.
January 7th, 2024 at 7:38 pm
Did you all notice how the teams captains showed up today? Lfg
January 7th, 2024 at 7:39 pm
if hurts is hurt…we win
then comes the prison xxxx-ing
todd is a football god
January 7th, 2024 at 7:41 pm
Just curious. What was the tiebreaker that gives the division to the Bucs in stead of Norleans?
January 7th, 2024 at 7:41 pm
@joe what about the injuries to AJ Brown and did you see Jalen Hurts finger ? Ouch, but might be something to look at
January 7th, 2024 at 7:42 pm
‘There are no worse people that the trash from Philly’. Truer words have never been spoken. I’m already firing up my rhonde barber voodoo doll with brand new needles! Lfg!
January 7th, 2024 at 7:43 pm
I want Baker to play well, but I also want our boneheaded coaches to call good plays and to manage the clock. Canales needs to realize that playoff games are played a lot faster and are all about scoring points. 9 points won’t work.
January 7th, 2024 at 7:43 pm
I seem to recall a similar situation in 1979. It could happen again.
January 7th, 2024 at 7:45 pm
We’re gonna get cracked. Todd Bowles can clearly torpedo a team singlehandedly. With a battered QB, he adamantly refuses to play his backup, even for a few snaps. He’s so pigheaded. And btw, if the offense was hamstrung by a young OC, he would have addressed it; he’s the tip-top guy. It’s painfully obvious that this stagnant offensive scheme we’ve seen the last two years across two OCs is the brainchild of a brainless, pigheaded dolt. I hate this, because we all know we’re not going to the Super Bowl. What we ARE is: gonna have our arses handed to us by the Eagles, at home. Remember how we shut down the Vet? “Rocky” in the stands; punching air to the Rocky theme??? Difference then is that Joe Jurevicius played angry, and we had a defense that played something other than “prevent”. Now we give the Eagles a ramp to lift off from in style; with proper and justified vengeance. Again, I hate you Todd Bowles. Thank you for pushing us as far back in the draft just before we get an empty moment of solace watching you (hopefully) get canned first thing yesterday. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
January 7th, 2024 at 7:47 pm
The bad news is many Bucs fans will sell their tickets to Eagles fans and try to make a profit off the game.
January 7th, 2024 at 7:47 pm
All you negative Nancy’s need to stfu and go quiet. Go bucs
January 7th, 2024 at 7:49 pm
Bucs might be what the iggles need. Bucs defense and mayfield has to play better to have any shot.

January 7th, 2024 at 7:53 pm
You should hear the sports talk radio up here in Philly area. I have to tell my eagles family and friends fans.
Sigh we have to watch this.
January 7th, 2024 at 7:58 pm
Well it depends on what Bucs team shows up. If it’s the team that won 4 straight then yeah the Eagles could easily lose. If it’s the team that got pounded by the saints a couple weeks ago well then we will lose.
January 7th, 2024 at 7:58 pm
Better feel good about going against the weak Eagles after your QB had one of the worse games of any team that played his week. Of teams that were in a must win for a chance to advance it was the worse. Even Mason Rudolph played better. Of the 4 QB’s in the NFC South Mayfield was last in iPasser Rating and not much better than Young.
QB similar in production today was Geno Smith in important games. As Mayfield has been compared to Smith look forward to getting to the playoffs, getting bounced in the first round, giving him a nice deal, and watch it go to crap. Seattle was 4 strokes of luck from being 5-12. Even at 9-8 Smith may have cost Carroll his job and the next coach will be moving on.
Let’s just call him Big Game Baker to fell better and hope for 5 INT’s from the opposing QB ala Pittsburgh.

B. “Pfft, Bucs couldn’t even beat a reeling Eagles team”
January 7th, 2024 at 8:00 pm
Eagle fans on the ledge up here. Just wish we were healthy.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:02 pm
Eagles have a HUGE edge in the trenches… D-line and O-line!! See a can of whoop-a** coming!!
January 7th, 2024 at 8:02 pm
Everyone should check out the Dennis Allen post game press conference. As much as I hate the Saints, he appears to be a class act. After canning Bowles, and Norleans ANTICIPATED canning of Allen, he night be a great candidate for our next DC. .

He was playing hurt with sore ribs and a sore ankle. So the numbers are not surprising. Try to throw a football when your ribs hurt. That’s a really awful feeling and pain killers do nothing. Yes, it could very much be a problem next week if he doesn’t heal up this week. That’s a big ? with this game.

January 7th, 2024 at 8:10 pm
We still have the Cigar Store Indian on the sideline. By all rights, the Bucs should win as pis( poor as the Beagles have been playing. However, if they don’t, I hope the Glazers do the right thing and can Bowels. He has reached his ceiling. Mediocre is all he will ever be as a Head Coach.

Bucs won’t win this game. Dungy got bounced for losing playoff games. Bowles is bounced after the Bucs lose. Offense was awful today. Baker played poorly. I’m not a Bowles or a Baker hater. Just being realistic.

On paper, certainly. The Eagles should stomp the Bucs.
But the Eagles have been terrible lately, and that gives the Bucs a chance.
The Eagles are 1-5 in their last 6 – but more importantly are 1-2 in their last three, vs the Giants who they split with and the Cardinals.
None of that matters if Baker plays like he’s played the last two games, the Bucs will lose by 30 if that’s the case. However, if good Baker shows up, the Bucs will have a chance. It really just comes down to that.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:14 pm
Eagles fans are all calling for Nick Sirianni to be fired, lol. How pathetic.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:14 pm
If Bakers healthy, the Bucs should win this game and make a legitimate playoff run. The Eagles are not the same team they were in the 1st half of the season.
But it all depends on Bakers health cause if we get that version of Baker then the Panthers are pretty much the only team we can beat.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:18 pm
Bucs win 5 of their last 6 games only to have their idiotic fans trash them. You guys go ahead and stay miserable. Me personall, I’m going to enjoy the ride while it lasts.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:19 pm
The Bucs beat the eagles if my rhonde barber eagles voodoo doll with freshly pricked needles has any thing to do with this outcome!
January 7th, 2024 at 8:21 pm
Any rumors on when we will play ? I’ve seen some predictions and conjecture, but nothing solid.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:22 pm
Nobody really knows what is going to happen. That is why we bother to watch.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:22 pm
Aj brown tweaked his knee today. His absence next week could be huge. Probably the reason eagles only opened a 2.5 favorite.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:24 pm
Last year the Cowboys came to Tampa for the playoffs, in the same mode as the flailing Eagles now. We all know what happened.
If Bowles doesn’t release the handcuffs and go into attack mode on offense, it will be a repeat of last season’s embarrassment.
But he won’t because he is Todd. A great next door neighbor, guy to have beers with.
A horrible NFL head coach.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:24 pm
BAKER NEEDS TO SIT. HE’S INEFFECTIVE. Hurt or not.
Start Trask already!
January 7th, 2024 at 8:27 pm
My predictions:
Cleveland @ Houston: 4pm Saturday
Rams @ Detroit: 8pm Saturday
Buffalo/Miami @ Buffalo/Miami: 1pm Sunday
Pittsburgh @ KC: 4pm Sunday
Green Bay @ Dallas: 8pm Sunday
Eagles at Bucs: MNF
Possible ?

That was a very different situation. Dungy was canned after 6 years. He only won the division once. And he struggled in the playoffs, and struggled to find an offense (he burned through 3 OCs and all were bad).
Bowles has only had 2 years and won the division both times, was handed a REALLY REALLY bad cap situation, lost a HOF QB to retirement, and has a rookie OC. It’s almost a given he gets another year. Now, next year, I do think you will need to see some better decisions, some more consistency, and advancing beyond a wild card game.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:30 pm
Tampa got its participation trophy today. Next week they will get embarrassed again by a superior team and hopefully the search to replace Bowles and company will only have been delayed a week.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:31 pm
We have a better chance to beat the eagles than the cowboys because we already played them before this season in our home stadium and have more familiarity with them. I do know we will not win if Baker Mayfield can only throw 134 yards and score zero touchdowns like his sorry as did today 😂
January 7th, 2024 at 8:32 pm
FYI: Fournette playing for the Bills tonight.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:32 pm
FWIW, these graphics that NBC is using tonight are annoying and distracting.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:32 pm
Bucs can win if Baker and the offense shows up and if the O line can deal with the blitz. Canales needs to get real on down and distance. Oh and the WRs need to catch the damn ball. Have to score 30 points.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:33 pm
I remember John Madden calling a Bucs game back in the Dungy – Dilfer days. Of course this was also the Sapp – Brooks – Lynch defense. During one of their trademark low scoring games Madden remarked “when I think of the Bucs, I think of 9 points. Wasn’t sure if he was dissing the offense or complimenting the defense. This game brought back that memory.
January 7th, 2024 at 8:33 pm
Stop with the Trask talk!
January 7th, 2024 at 8:33 pm
Best case scenario for both teams! If we stand a chance, our O playbook has to open up and be creative!! Please no more jet sweeps, end arounds from #83…it’s very inefficient!! Get CG to move the chains, run White outside, pre snap motions, Cade otton down the seam, and let Evans win deep!!
January 7th, 2024 at 8:42 pm
Lot of negative folks… they just won the division and are hosting a home playoff game… we’re projected to be near the bottom of the standings. This is entertaining and exciting every week, good or bad! LFG!! Defense showed out and shut out! Revenge game vs Eagles! Can’t wait!
January 7th, 2024 at 8:42 pm
Trust me out of all the playoff teams, the Eagles are happy they are playing the Bucs
January 7th, 2024 at 8:45 pm

m milligan – what is with you Baker Bois always having an excuse for when Baker stinks up the joint?
If he has a terrible day, it’s because everyone dropped the ball, because his ribs hurt, because someone stepped on his foot, because the sun was in his eyes. It’s pitiful.
Baker sucked today and he sucked last week, he nearly cost the team their chance at the playoffs.
He’s got a chance to redeem himself next week, and I hope he does. Just like I hope you slip and fall into a puddle of AIDS. LOL!
January 7th, 2024 at 9:00 pm

January 7th, 2024 at 9:23 pm
Don’t be too excited. Non of the eagles starters played. we will need to practice the football gods for the Bucs to get their heads out of their arses to play against Philly. We need both sides of the team to show up. Not just our defense. Todays game was a huge disappointment and if by some miracle we beat the eagles, the cowboys would make us look silly AF.
January 7th, 2024 at 9:28 pm
Based on a lot of the comments people would be pissed if we won the SB this season because it means Bowles would be back next season. Can’t we just enjoy the week before the playoff game without everyone fighting with each other? It could be the last playoff game for over a decade. We’ve been there before. Playoff games don’t grow on trees in Tampa
January 7th, 2024 at 9:49 pm
Baker fans again shut up. Your trash boy was awful today as last week. Antione W. saved the the game today for Toilet Bowl and trash Baker.
January 7th, 2024 at 9:51 pm
Monday night baby
January 7th, 2024 at 9:54 pm
The game against the Eagles is going to come down to whether the Bucs OLINE can handle the Eagles DLINE.
Jordan Davis is a 6’6”, 350 lbs Godzilla like monster as a DT who will line up in the A gap and go against Hainsey or Stinnie or Mauch.
Jalen Carter and Marlon Tuipulotu are two more monster DT who will line up in the B gap and go against Stinnie or Mauch.
Future Hall of Famer Fletcher Cox will also rotate in as a defensive tackle.
Edge rushing wrecking ball Hassan Reddick will line up on Goedeke.
If the defensive front 4 is able to control the trenches your offense will struggle no matter who the quarterback is.
In the first game against the Eagles the number one reason why our offense stunk was because our OLINE got dominated, and that’s not Baker’s or White’s or ME13’s fault at all.
Its that matchup that has me worried.
January 7th, 2024 at 9:54 pm

Bucs got to show up and play like they did against packers and jags.

Well we don’t normally show up in prime time games especially Monday night games. Time to shock the world and put down the Eagles.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:03 pm
how the f did we even get the monday night slot…that’s wild…
we got the down cycling eagles and their overrated quarterback…
we got an extra day or two for baker to rest up, or hit the lingerie shops for that perfect massage… 🙂
now we’ve just gotta have dave cantalones get the offense back up and running again…
and run these eagles right out of town!

Damnit if kyler murray and the cardinals can drop a 34 burger on the eagles on the road then why cant we ? This aint the same eagles team from week 3
January 7th, 2024 at 10:06 pm
this slotting means the nfl is in our corner for this game…with the refs and all…
they gave baker the latest game possible to rest up – because they’re going to also give him come back player of the year
January 7th, 2024 at 10:06 pm
Fair point on having the MNF game being a good thing in terms of injury news…
The Bucs, shockingly, have an all-time winning record on MNF – certainly doesn’t feel like it.

the eagles are no longer a sexy pick…
i’m thinking the bucs and the baker storyline is a sexier thing for the nfl to push…
the eagles are trash and their qb might as well start rocking a flat brim like byron, because they’re gonna be one and done…
the nfl is gonna get behind dak and cd lamb…the nfl will push the cowboys, not the eagles…i already see it…the eagles are toast – old news – they fell off…we got this!

January 7th, 2024 at 10:16 pm
What are the Bucs record at home? How did they play against the Taints? How did they play against the Eagles last time? The answers are history and a tell for how the Baker/Blowles Bucs will play
January 7th, 2024 at 10:16 pm
Go Bucs.
I think we can beat the eagles but I dont think we will. I think winning the division is our superbowl for 2023. Im a realist. My expectations were exceeded and I really like what we did this season. The 4 game winning streak at the end of the season which included the win at Green Bay was enough for me to say this season was a success.
Of course I hope we win and Of course I think we have a chance……..but im not betting against he eagles in this game.
The eagles are a mess but so was Dallas last year coming into out game and they killed us.
No pressure on the Bucs we had a nice season.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:18 pm
Baker fans;
How did Bucs win today scoring only 3FG ? I tell you. Panthers score zero. Why ? I tell you. Antoine W. and the defense shut down the trash Bryce Y.
You all saw how Baker had no rib injury as he got hit several times. If Baker has a terrible day, the OC bad play calls, it’s because everyone dropped the ball, his ribs hurt, someone stepped on his foot, or the sun was in his eyes.
Did you notice he starts limping after each mis-throws and how he jumped up and down after each completions.
Baker sucked today and last week.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:19 pm
I can see the Rams beating the Lions, but the Packers beating Dallas ? Hard task. I could have seen the Rams beating the Cowboys and the Packers beating the Lions, but not the other way around.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:21 pm
Once again this site amazes me…so Baker plays every game, hurt or not all season, wins the Division, we host a playoff game….and people are begging for Trask to start his first game at this moment!!???? Unreal
January 7th, 2024 at 10:22 pm
Bucs always seem to choke on Monday night. Here’s hoping they turn it around! Go Bucs!

That’s the first thing I thought as well, but looked up the stats, and the Bucs have an all-time winning record on MNF, 14 wins, 13 loses.
Certainly doesn’t feel that way, but the numbers show otherwise.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:32 pm
I am disgusted with the negativity being expressed about the Bucs by so called fans of the team! Instead of appreciating the team making the playoffs, it’s the same crap that’s been spewed all year. Bowels can’t coach, Trask should be the quarterback, Mayfield sucks! We’ll, the coach who can’t coach and the quarterback so many hate have won nine games, when some experts predicted three wins. Even if they don’t advance, I am proud of what they’ve accomplished, considering the cap situation and every other obstacle they overcame.
Can we please stop the BS, take a deep breath, and SUPPORT THE TEAM?
This year has gone a long way to ensuring that with some additions and changes through the draft and free agency, and the continued growth of this seasons rookies and young players, the future for Bucs football is looking pretty exciting to this fan!

David,
Not a Baker fan, but the guy was clearly injured from start to finish.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:38 pm
Bills and Dolphins just changed on a dime.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:41 pm
Jason garret just tried our ass on the halftime show he said this game is more about the eagles then bucs cause they been struggling smh watch espn all week talk about the eagles and there bs struggles and not one mention too tampa this is what they wanted man when we win it will feel soo good
January 7th, 2024 at 10:41 pm

How was Grandma born there in 1896? Just wondering.

January 7th, 2024 at 10:42 pm
Wait, Night Court was brought back ? WTH ? I guess they really are out of ideas.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:45 pm
There really are a lot of trash fans on this board. Jerks who say the same thing over and over and who 3 months ago were saying we wouldn’t win 5 games.
I suspect many of these people have never been inside RJS.
They really are pathetic.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:46 pm
Wow,
Are you a a season ticket holder ? You better harry up and grab one before they are sold out. Talk is cheap. Are you so excited with Bucs future with Toilet Bowl and Baker scoring 22 points 2TD, 4 turnovers in the last two games limping into the playoffs with the same recored as Saints and barely over .500 in this great division ?
If the answer is yes, then Bucs organization loves you. Wait, if only if you put your mouth were your money is by purchasing a season ticket not watching local TV while drinking Kool – aid.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:47 pm
@RJS: Back in August, I predicted the Bucs would go 6-11. I said that they would be competitive in most games and play hard but that they didn’t have the horses. I was wrong and I freely admit it.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:49 pm
If Bowles has this team ready and they put up a fight win or lose, I’ll give him the credit he deserves. If he lays a big egg on the field, chokes and the Bucs are embarrassed on Monday night football by double digits, he needs to be fired! No excuses! The Glazers fired Dungy when he lost in the playoffs and he is a HOF coach and far superior to Bowles. So, again, no excuses by the Glazers if Bowles blows it and this team gets spanked by Philly.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:53 pm
Miami is reeling, lol.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:55 pm
Miami should want to lose that game. If not they’d face Buffalo again next week, and it’s really really hard to win vs the same team 2 weeks in a row.
January 7th, 2024 at 10:57 pm
This is BS the Bucs play Monday! We have the worst record in prime time games, NFL must want Eagles in this. Bowles needs this win to keep his job as the owners won’t just tolerate a playoff trip, must win.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:00 pm
Chris Collingsworth just referred to Tyreek Hill as a “surefire hall-of-famer”. Lol.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:00 pm
🔥 Bowles!
January 7th, 2024 at 11:00 pm
its a great situation for Tampa Bay, which looks like a team that requires a struggling opponent
Please tell me we won’t start talking about how beatable a team is for the Bucs. Those kinds of articles haven’t aged well this year
January 7th, 2024 at 11:05 pm
Bucs are 2.5 point underdogs in the early betting line.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:09 pm
It’s the best possible matchup for the Bucs, a reeling Eagles team. The issue is we have a totally inconsistent Mayfield at QB.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:14 pm
Joe says;

Well Joe, Bucs barley defeated the worst team in NFL with 3FG with their shut out defense. Can it get any worst than that ? Any struggling team would still be better than the stinking Panthers.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:15 pm
Not surprised that the Traskies still cant accept defeat…..im sure Kyle Trask himself is ashamed of his cult following. The Bucs are currently the team in the playoffs where a portion of their fan base wants the starter BENCHED for their backup….just unreal stupidity that this is even a discussion still.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:16 pm
The stink finger birds… BRING IT BISHES!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 7th, 2024 at 11:17 pm
I predict Toilet Bowl will be fired with a loss to Eagles or might be saved for another week of playoffs if he wins at home. No matter what he will be dismissed with his son, Baker at the end of the season.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:17 pm
Awful lack of push by the Bills offensive line.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:20 pm
Tbbucs3, Mayfield sucks, a terrible performance against the lowly Panthers.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:20 pm
Baker fans:
Again just shut up and post after your trash boy shows up in a game or at least win his second playoffs game in 6 years. Do not attack or make comments on his back up or the re-sign talks of Baker.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:20 pm
Bosch: the tiebreaker was winning percentage versus common opponents, evidently the Bucs lost to the Bills and the Saints beat the Pats was the one thing different about their schedule; thus the Bucs had a one game advantage in common opponents and won the tiebreaker.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:20 pm
Lol @ Dolphins.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:22 pm
KC will blow out the Dolphins next week. Miami doesn’t even want to keep playing.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:22 pm
Tua grabbed his ankles in a clutch moment, Bills win! Special teams also let Miami down.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:23 pm
Best thing possible for the Dolphins, there is zero chance they’d be able to beat the Bills again next week had they won.
However the Dolphins should be able to go on the road and beat the Chiefs, who are down to having to start J Watson at WR, a guy who wasn’t able to make the top 7 WRs in Tampa.

January 7th, 2024 at 11:29 pm
The Eagles are playing poor football, the recipe for their rebound is facing the inconsistent Baker Mayfield. I’m sure they are licking their chops knowing they have Mayfield in their sights.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:29 pm
Tua can come through in big games still makes dumb interceptions like trevor larwence they been in the league 3 years now
January 7th, 2024 at 11:31 pm
RGA
Are you suggesting we start Trask Monday night?
January 7th, 2024 at 11:32 pm
Baker check down Mayfield, the QB who struggles to complete a forward pass beyond 10 yards.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:35 pm
Tbbucs3, they should have started Trask a long time ago. Obviously not starting him now. I have no idea if Trask is the answer, I do know Mayfield is not.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:37 pm
RGA
LOL
Are you for real???
If he was the QB, this team would have won five games.
Get a grip 😂
January 7th, 2024 at 11:38 pm
Canales hopefully looks at what has taken place over the last six weeks… The Eagles are losing because teams are passing all over them. They are not run run run run run.!!
Their offense has been unable to handle the blitz, so that feeds right into the Buccaneers defense
January 7th, 2024 at 11:39 pm
The answer to what? Winning games and getting us in the playoffs? We already have the guy who’s the answer to that question. And who clearly gives us the best shot in a playoff game. That’s kind of the long and short of it. Anything else is pure conjecture based on exactly no evidence.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:39 pm
If the Bucs started Trask “long ago” the Bucs would not currently be in the postseason….
Nobody’s disagreeing that Mayfield sucked today….but to pretend like he hasnt been solid this season is nonsense.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:42 pm
We have no idea how Trask would do because we have not seen him, it’s all speculation. We’ve seen plenty of Mayfield.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:42 pm
I remember fans having a meltdown wanting Baker benched after the 1st quarter of the season vs Minnesota…..thank god we didnt.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:43 pm
In Midge Moxie we trust.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:43 pm
All these comments suggesting Trask would be terrible has no merit, we’ve never seen him.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:57 pm
The Mayfield lead Bucs are not only the best team in the NFC south but arguably in the state of Florida now with the Dolphins heading to KC for a likely first round bounce.
January 7th, 2024 at 11:59 pm

Tbbucs3, take Mayfields jock strap out of your mouth. Your man crush is fine and dandy for you. Let’s be realistic here.
January 8th, 2024 at 12:05 am
I don’t see how the Eagles stop our passing attack with Godwin, Evans, and White out of the backfield. They shouldn’t be favorites. I’m not a big Baker fan, but I’ll take him over Hurts and Mariota even with bad ribs. If Vegas had any sense, they would have Bucs as favorites. The Eagles are living off last year.
January 8th, 2024 at 12:06 am
What makes Kyke Trask any different than Kyle Mond or Matt Corral? Neither of those guys have seen live action either but professional coaches evaluate them everyday and have largely determined theyd be cruddy NFL starters. RGA, take the L and move on.
January 8th, 2024 at 12:08 am

January 8th, 2024 at 12:14 am
None of us has seen Trask in a meaningful game, he might be a bum. If that’s so then the Bucs organization needs to look elsewhere for a new QB, free agency, trade or the draft. Mayfield cannot be the guy the Bucs rely on for the future.
January 8th, 2024 at 12:17 am
RGA so your willing to throw away top 15 production for a guy who “might be a bum?” Sounds reckless, good thing the Bucs wont be doing that.
January 8th, 2024 at 12:22 am
I’m willing to throw away a mediocre QB that is best served as a a good backup QB in this league. I want a QB at the helm that can throw the football accurately down field, a QB that defenses fear.
No defense fears Mayfield.
January 8th, 2024 at 12:23 am
The supposed fans on this sight are incredible for their negativity. Sure, let’s start Trask who has had maybe 10 snaps all year in a game that is win or go home – lol. I live in Charlotte NC and went to game today with friend of mine who has season tickets. Kudos to the Bucs fans that were in Charlotte today, there were a bunch of them there today and the ones around me were pretty vocal. The Bucs offense with Baker did not have a good day but Panther secondary defense is pretty good. The defense carried the Bucs today, but they also were big reason Bucs lost to Texans. Bucs need better effort by offense in post season.
One final time, please stop with the Barker is trash comments. He completed over 64% of his passes for over 4,000 yards. He had 28 TD passes with 10 INT’s. I am not saying he is an elite QB, but he is probably in the top 15. Once again, I will remind people on this site Baker even with incentives made less than 10 million this year. I think he was quite a bargain for the Bucs.
Monday night game is good timing, gives Baker more time to heal. You could tell he was hurting today. Bucs have shot of winning; this is not the same Eagle team that went to the Super Bowl, believe Hurts has injury issue also. Looking forward to the game.

Thats the beauty of all this. He has completely devastatd your hater dreams. Today You are the proud owner of no higher than a 20th pick in the draft
Mission accomplished. Good luck dreaming any QB you want is dropping that low.
January 8th, 2024 at 1:09 am
It’s obvious there are a lot of fair weather fans posting here that didn’t experience the ineptitude of the early history of this franchise or the 10 year playoff drought. Be appreciative of any playoff game. 3 NFC South Championships in a row!! In cap hell, with Bowles as Coach.
Playoffs are an entire new season, we’re one of the healthiest teams still playing. Heal up Baker! Defense tightened up today. Panthers D is top 5.
Best case scenario for us to advance and make a push. Enjoy the ride ya’ll!!
January 8th, 2024 at 1:14 am
Tony, you are correct in suggesting that the Bucs will draft in the back half of the draft. It’s a QB rich draft this year, maybe the Bucs get lucky and someone like Penix falls to us. If not maybe we sign a guy like Kirk Cousins.
The Bucs need improvement at the QB position.
January 8th, 2024 at 8:18 am
We all need to just be happy the Buccaneers are in the playoffs.
All of us from the orange days would have prayed to be here.
January 8th, 2024 at 9:19 am
Amen, Billy. BTW, I was at that 1979 Playoff win against the Eagles. I’m concerned about BM’s health. He’s hurt. The other one is Canales and his game plans. I’ve been through the Bucs’ Dark Ages. Never wore a bag over my head, but those seasons were rough for a fan. 2024 is almost 180 degrees removed from the dismal 1980s.
January 8th, 2024 at 2:59 pm
So glad its Monday!
Everyday of rest for Mayfield is critical to our chances of moving forward.
Baker rallied a bad team into winning a CHAMPIONSHIP!
Lets see how much further he can take us!
