Bucs Have Horrible Record In One-Score Games
November 11th, 2024
Bucs coach Todd Bowles.
The Bucs are a bad team. They are 4-6.
You are what your record says you are.
And in one-score games, the Bucs are not just bad, they’re horrible. Because that’s what their record says they are.
Let Joe throw some teams out there and you tell Joe if they are any good: Las Vegas, New York Jets, New England, Cleveland, Carolina, Denver, Cincinnati, Tennessee, New Orleans, New York Giants, Jacksonville.
You may say Cincinnati is a good team. They have good weapons. But they’re having an awful year and Bengals coach Zac Taylor is squarely on the hot seat.
Denver? They fight. They make you work. They are tough. But they are not good.
What do all of those teams have in common? They have a .222 winning percentage or worse in one-score games.
But wait, there’s more! There is a team Joe omitted. The Bucs! Yes, the Bucs have a disastrous record in one-score games. The win over Detroit is the Bucs’ lone win in a one-score game.
The Bucs have the sixth-worst record in the NFL in one-score games, 1-6.
NFL analyst Brett Kollman did the heavy lifting on the research.
With the talent the Bucs have, to lose this many one-score games, Joe hates to say it, but if players were placed in better positions on the field to make one or two plays, that could be the only difference.
There is no excuse for the defense, led by a defensive-minded coach, to be giving up the booty as much as the Bucs have. That’s all you need to know.

That, my friends, is coaching…

I keep hoping I log in here at some point in the day and there’s some bombshell news about Todd Bowles being fired

The Glazer Family, since they bought the team in the mid-90s, have never dismissed a coach mid-season. And Joe isn’t of the mind, short of a coach doing something really over the top, that Team Glazer will end this practice.

Don’t look now, but the Saints and Panthers might pass up the Bucs.
Maybe a last place finish would send Bowels down the toilet drain.
Just lose baby! In that we have faith you know how to do.

That’s coaching. ( Bowles )

F this team. Soft and terribly undisciplined.
November 11th, 2024 at 11:28 am
Losing 4 of the last few (6) games in the last minute is bad luck. Tell the Glazers and Licht to hire a lucky coach next time.

I’m sure TB will blame it on the players and not bad play calling. I’m alos sure the Joe-Joes would never blame JL. Oh, no. Never after years of bad draft picks.

Don’t worry guys, the Bucs can “run the table” after the bye.
Todd & Co have it all figured out.

Math ain’t mathing. We are 4-6 and 2 of our losses (den and bal) were by more than one score. So we are 1-4 in 1 score games. But yeah, that still is really bad and that is on coaching. I believe all 4 of the losses we were tied or ahead in under 2 minutes at one point too. Then gave up game winners. That is d and coaching.

Joe They forced 1 stinking punt yesterday….1! without the gifts of the 3 missed kicks they actually wouldn’t even have been in that game yesterday. Its hard for the offense, especially missing its top 2 receivers and not starting LT, to have to score on every drive or there is no way to win. You can feel it during the game and I think that is why Coen has gone more dink and dunk because it gets the ball out of Baker’s hands quicker and keeps our stinky D off of the field if they can sustain a long drive.

Interesting.

We’re in the exact same spot that we were in last year. A bad team, with a worse HC, limping along, hoping to win a bad division.
I am all for losing out, getting a higher draft slot in every round, ridding ourselves of Bowles and regrouping for next year.
Sadly, the Bucs may go on a run, beat some bad teams, get alot of guys back on the bandwagon.
Then, with Bowles staying on, we’ll back here, at the same time of the year, with the same pitiful record, begging for Bowles to be fired.

Fire and grit or not

We’re having the same discussion as Buc fans that Jets fans were having when Bowles was their HC. He’s not good……its that simple. He routinely gets out coached, manages games poorly, plays too conservative, his scheme is obviously flawed…..its been on the decline since he was promoted to HC. He’s collectively 47-64 as a HC….that’s a winning percentage of .423, well below .500. His best season ever is 10-6. That’s an anomaly not the norm. Bowles success is highly dependent on a weak schedule and even then you’re hoping for 9-8. Come playoff time, you can bet he’ll be one and done. Bucs often reference where the team is “trending” and under Bowles we’ve hit the ceiling and now are in decline. I dont see him making it past this season.

Loser is as Loser does.

All they had to do was beat the Chicks….like the Stanks.
November 11th, 2024 at 1:15 pm
are we sure these numbers are accurate? We are not 1-6 in one score games. The broncos and ravens both beat us by double digits. We are bad in one score games as evidenced by the last three losses but this whole graphic seems inaccurate and makes me question it even more.

Just bad

Bucs have a horrible record period in the NFL

Bucs are horrible in one score games. The Bucs are also horrible in prime time games, home games, and road games. The Bucs are horrible at stopping the run, horrible covering the middle of the field, and just the absolute worst on getting off the field on third down. I guess the Bucs are just horrible at defense period.
November 11th, 2024 at 1:53 pm
Seems like most NFL games are one score games.
November 11th, 2024 at 4:02 pm
Thanks Joe.
Bowles has to go.

The two Atlanta games, the Chiefs game and the Niners game were all there for the taking. Lovie lost all four. ALL FOUR.
That’s not bad luck or bad players. That’s horrendous game decision performance, end of game planning and failure to instill the will to the players. The time is past. This stat proves what objective football-knowledgable fans who don’t eat fruit loops know to be true.
Fire Lovie again for the first time.
