Welcome Back, Todd Bowles! Bucs Win NFC South By 2 Games.
January 5th, 2025
A two-year problem for Todd Bowles.
Rough day for the legions of Bucs fans that aren’t supporters of head coach Todd Bowles.
Tampa Bay finished the season today with a 10-7 record after a somewhat ugly 27-19 win against the slimy Saints.
That’s 10-7 after losing Chris Godwin and Antoine Winfield for a half a season. And the Bucs lost starters Jordan Whitehead and Jamel Dean to injured reserve at points this season, and starting right tackle Luke Goedeke also was lost four games with a concussion, plus Mike Evans missed 3 1/2 games and wasn’t healthy in others.
Joe could list other injuries and self-inflicted wounds, but the Bucs and Bowles grinded, grew and perservered through it all.
Bowles closed 6-1 after the bye week, possibly exactly what he needed to save his job.
Well done, Coach!
See you next week, and see you next season.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:43 pm
Nah. Let’s keep Cohen instead.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:44 pm
Aw cmon Joe
Many Bucs fans…… including myself still feel there is a need for change…….too many seasons on soft zone defenses or defenses that collapse all the time.
Does anyone here really expect the Bucs to shut down any team in the playoffs????
Really bro???? Really???
January 5th, 2025 at 4:45 pm
If Bowles had let Evans have 6 yards last week and we could have lost if would had been for naught after the Falcons lost. this team brings unnecessary stress lol.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:45 pm
I hope he hires a real D coordinator
January 5th, 2025 at 4:45 pm
PLAYOFFS!! GO BUCS!!
January 5th, 2025 at 4:45 pm
we need to keep Liam Coen, could care less about Todd Bowles, he needs to do better, defense is not playing as well as they could. Get a DC and keep Coen!
January 5th, 2025 at 4:45 pm
Well done Coach Coen. Todd Bowles your defense is trash, it’s the type of defense that gets you blown out in the playoffs. Everybody wants to talk about injured except when they were on that winning streak then they wanted to praise backups like merriweather and even Ryan Neal.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:45 pm
Coen has to come back. If that means promoting him to head coach then it must be done. Bowles made too many terrible decisions this year.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:46 pm
This team is winning in spite of Bowels poor coaching. I believe this team is talented enough to legitimately compete for a Super Bowl, especially with Coen running this offense. Bowels needs to figure out how not to get shredded over the middle every game, and stop making boneheaded game management decisions.
But hey, for now we’re in the dance and we’ve got a chance! LFG BUCS
January 5th, 2025 at 4:47 pm
Once again, the Bucs win despite Todd Bowles. He still needs to go.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:47 pm
Super Bowl baby! Keeping it real in Ireland.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:47 pm
It’s been a rough season with injuries, hurricanes, and so many other things. Todd has been there for the team. He has done very well.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:47 pm
Rollercoaster defense can’t be good for the heart. Let’s see how next week goes before we vote him COY
January 5th, 2025 at 4:47 pm
This off-season we focus heavily on getting cohen back, and going hard on a defense makeover. We still have key figures but as it stands now Josh Hayes potentially will to cover terry mcgaughlin or Justin Jefferson 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ that should be criminal
January 5th, 2025 at 4:48 pm
@ firethecannons
You should care because Bowles is the defensive coordinator/HC and the win today will not get him fired going into the 2025 season.
And Bowles isn’t gonna change his ways either
January 5th, 2025 at 4:48 pm
JOE!or anyone here who are we rooting for? now, I am still shook up from that Bucs game and need help on this please
January 5th, 2025 at 4:48 pm
So if Bucs lose first round of playoffs, that would be 1 win in 3 years of playoffs right? So who cares about division titles.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:48 pm
Bowles will always have the injury excuse to bail him out.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:48 pm
Most of fans on this site should apologize…even one of the Joes who Inremeber saying he was not convinced on Bowles.
I know he makes mistakes, some of them are hard to swallow, but like it or not he gets the job done….
This year he didn’t have any luck with injuries and the depth and quality on defense was awful…..he made it to the playoffs with on,y one LB who isn’t getting any younger, no CB, only Zion making players form time to time, no pass rushers….he had quality on Vea Kancey and LVD, even Winfield played badly…..and he got the job done…..
So now, this bi polar fan base should apologize
I’ve been a Bowles defender since the beginning!
January 5th, 2025 at 4:48 pm
Congratulations Coach Bowles. To hold the Saints to 3 points in the second half was amazing. How anyone can downplay three consecutive division titles with so many difficult challenges is beyond me. Congrats Coach Bowles and the entire Bucs organization. Future looks bright.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:48 pm
What is needed is all you fake/negative Bucs to move on from Bucs into another team.
Either you support our team /bucs or move on. Stop with this bs negativity.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:48 pm
“In spite of Bowles coaching”
Not even. These players love the man, and they back him 100%. There is a reason for that.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:49 pm
with 2 minutes to go in the game someone yelled out to coach from the front row:
“bowles did mike break the record yet ?”
bowles yelled back the fan:
“not at this time”
🙂
January 5th, 2025 at 4:49 pm
And i get to cash my $420 ticket….put 100 on us to win nfc south before season started….great job BUCS!
January 5th, 2025 at 4:49 pm
Doesn’t matter what fans think. I don’t like his Defense. Needs to have a backup scheme when his primary guys go down. But Ownership can’t fire a guy who has 4 Division Championships. As much of a paper tiger as his Def is the Glazers look stupid if they drop Bowles and the new HC isn’t winning Division Championships. Call it bad Division hangover or whatever.
The tell will be if Coen bails first chance he gets. Hard to believe he doesn’t want his Offense constantly having to make up for Bowles D. We aren’t going anywhere in the playoffs. This Defense looks horrible. Until the other team panics. But to be fair even the Offense game plan looked challenged today.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:49 pm
People say the Bucs play to their opponent. That should be good news in the playoffs. In Bowles, Coen and the Bucs I trust.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:50 pm
That was fun. Honestly, was thinking Bowles is going to get shellacked for the penalty he accepted against Carolina.
Bowles delivered. Don’t care how. Got the win and helped Mike Evans get 1,000.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:50 pm
What is the possibility that Godwin, SirVocea Dennis, Bryce Hall, or Winfield can play next weekend?
January 5th, 2025 at 4:50 pm
He beat a crappy team by 8 points that he was favored to win by 14 points and should have won by more but yeah Joe he’s a coaching legend.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:51 pm
Hilarious that is was Coen who won the game? Not Mayfield or a defense that finally woke up. Mayfield was great on 3rd-4th down conversions whether on the ground or in the air. Bowles pretty good at making defense adjustments in second halves all year. Nerve wracking but effective.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:51 pm
division champs…!
mike got the record…!
bucky ran…baker ran…mcmillan has seemingly blossomed…!
yaya was active…!
let’s go bucs………here we go…………playoffs baby playoffs !!!
January 5th, 2025 at 4:51 pm
YES! Bowles haters in shambles
January 5th, 2025 at 4:52 pm
We’re very lucky this division has been such hot garbage.
Go Bucs!
January 5th, 2025 at 4:52 pm
I get the frustration with Bowels defense, but lets remember, last year was about resigning all of our guys. Before that to get over the cap hell from the Super Bowl. most teams struggle during rebuilding, we’ve won 2 more division championships…. during a rebuild! Now this year the Bucs will be able to bring in 2-4 good players to add onto the talent pool. plus a couple draft picks. Future is so bright……
January 5th, 2025 at 4:53 pm
I prefer we keep Coen. Lots of problems stem from Bowels.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:53 pm
Congrats Coach Bowles on the 10-7 record and a playoff berth!
Now it’s on Licht & Co. to bring some serious heat to the defense—because let’s face it, Coach Bowles can’t keep patching things together, especially with so many backup UDFAs getting significant playing time this year.
Time to stack the roster and build a defense that dominates.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:53 pm
hayes at corner is very shaky…gotta get dean back or we’ve got a problem
January 5th, 2025 at 4:53 pm
Imagine wanting a coach whos won 3 straight division championships for the Bucs gone? (Unless your only a Bucs fan cause of Tom Brady or 14 years old)
Couldn’t be me, go Bucs!
January 5th, 2025 at 4:53 pm
Had the Bucs just played a good game and beat the Aint’s as was hoped and expected nobody would have been surprised. It would have been “Great – now to the playoffs”.
BUT with all the drama there will certainly be an increase of excitement resulting is increased ticket sales and ME13 and BM6 jersey sales.
I believe the NFL has developed a formula for profit such as the WWE has done. The fans are being manipulated very successfully.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:54 pm
culp is a nice new found subtle weapon too !
January 5th, 2025 at 4:54 pm
Well deserved! Need to tighten up the defense – don’t disagree, but he has done a great job of maintaining the locker room & a winning culture. You are what your record says you are – 3 division titles as a head coach – scoreboard! Let’s go Bucs!!!
January 5th, 2025 at 4:54 pm
The Bucs NEED two good LBs & CBs

So true Bonzai, the players love Todd Bowles and its evident
The main reason the defense stinks right now is cause the players stink.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:55 pm
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST:
Todd Bowles will NOT be back next season. Glazers will pressure him to either retire, or he’ll be fired. They won’t risk Coen leaving for another team, and Todd has had too many iffy moments this season.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:56 pm
Joe Says; Well done, Coach!
^^^^
That was a horrible performance not a job well done !
January 5th, 2025 at 4:56 pm
Do I smell an extension?
January 5th, 2025 at 4:56 pm
adam
Not so sure the Voyeur corner is the be all end all…
January 5th, 2025 at 4:56 pm
Bowles has very little to work with on D…..but one thing Ill say is that he needs to stop dropping Dlinemen into coverage so often. Rarely works.
But Bowles is building a great culture around this football team and thats what head coaches are supposed to do. Many struggle with that, not as easy as it looks.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:57 pm
Bowles has become one of the best coaches in the NFL! Every single free agent wants to resign with us! His players never embarrass us compete with class! He has led a rebuild with Baker and overachieved these last two years. Yes we need edge rush but he has kept us together no matter what! 10-7 is overachieving winning the division is overachieving! Proud of this Bucs team and proud of our Coach.
Defense was top 8 last season I expect he will get that defense back to greatness with a little help in the draft and free agency.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:57 pm
Joe’s trying to stay buddy buddy with Bowles with this BS article.
Bowles defense was embarrassing today. Baker saved Bowles. If Baker doesn’t run like his life depended on it. Would you have wrote about how horrible the defense was? Don’t give me this BS about injuries either.
Joe consistently states everyone is has injuries this time of year. Bowles record as a HC is what? 26-23?
Who the hell drops both of their edge rushers to cover a TE? Bowles.
Who the hell drops Vea into coverage… Bowles….
Creative or wishful thinking? Either way your doing this against an offense ran by mostly backups and you still got exposed.
This isn’t the 1st time either. I’m over the Bowles experiment.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:58 pm
I am no fan of our head coach I do not like this soft stone style of defense. However I have to say on our last seven games in our six wins his second half defense has been really good. I give him credit for making adjustments after halftime. Today he only gave up three points after halftime and that was after a punt where the Saints were effectively in field goal position because it was botched by our punter.
I don’t know why we can’t play that defense for the full 60 minutes because if we did we would be unstoppable..
I will give Todd and the rest of the team credit because we have had injuries to significant number of key starters on both sides of the ball. I think not having a healthy and one Winfield for much of the season has been a big factor. I think not having a capable inside linebacker next to Lavonte David who is okay in pass coverage has also been a big issue with the type of defense that he plays. It looked like Sirvocea was going to be that guy but then got lost for the season and we did not have a competent player on defense to replace him..
I think even the loss of Bryce Hall before the season started was a big factor as we’ve had injuries to Jamel Dean who is also underperformed and could not really have anybody on the bench to play outside corner next to McCollum.
I think next year are top four draft picks should include inside linebacker which often can be found even in the third and fourth rounds and be quite skilled. I would also get a boundary corner either in free agency or in the top two picks in the draft for us. And then hopefully edge rusher also in free agency for the draft. If we do manage to get a high level free agent then hopefully we could re-sign Chris godman and also use a pick to draft another wide receiver thinking down the line as to who will be next to Jalen McMillan.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:58 pm
Yep….Not bad for the Bucs. Four Ducks in a row…..Quack Quack.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:58 pm
If we lose next week, Bowles is gone. Let’s not pretend the Glazers didn’t fire Dungy for less.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:59 pm
Bowles should have been fire a month ago. The Bucs win despite Blowles not because of him!
January 5th, 2025 at 4:59 pm
If Bucs get rolled next week, I think he gets his walking papers. Hope we win a Super Bowl and he rides off into the sunset. I like the guy, we just seem to underperform with him at the helm. Bucs should have been resting starters this week or playing for home field. Injuries played their part for sure. 4 more wins man.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:59 pm
All the Bowles haters gonna have a long couple years until Bowles retires as a Buc. Go Bucs
Go bowles
January 5th, 2025 at 5:00 pm
I am a an anti Bowles guy, but I am still very happy with today’s outcome. It’s like this. Let’s say you voted against the incumbent President (or President elect – take your pic). You still want him to succeed, because it in our best interest.
Today is a great day for Bowles supporters. And is an equally great day for his detractors.
Go BUCS, Mike, and Baker!!!!!
January 5th, 2025 at 5:00 pm
We get in the playoffs and STILL the forum is full of haters. Jeezy. Switch teams already, you act like Eagles fans, go try them out.
Bucs Win, haters wine!
January 5th, 2025 at 5:01 pm
When the Bucs lose the first playoff game by 25 points, Bowles will be fired that week.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:01 pm
guess baker didn’t regress this year, huh?
and has this defense gotten more than one interception this whole season? i can only think of one off the top of my head. ridiculous.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:01 pm
I agree Dan. Bowles is a great man and coach.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:01 pm
I’m signing off for good. Pro sports has always been “show business” but the absurdity is over the top. If the fans will buy this crap they will buy anything. That is very concerning.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:02 pm
So many Bucs fans acting like we didn’t just almost lose to a 5-11 team. ROFLMAO.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:02 pm
You so called fans who hate Todd Bowles; do you really think the Bucs can play man to man when we have to start Hayes at DB? Get real and get off your hate train
January 5th, 2025 at 5:02 pm
Poor preparation and coaching combined with superior athletes allow us to scape out a win over an inferior team that has nothing to play for. No congratulations due here.
Coaching matters!
January 5th, 2025 at 5:03 pm
I wonder if any of you Bowles haters watch NFL football.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:03 pm
Ok since you’re so happy to have Bowles it doesn’t matter who the offensive coordinator is. If Coen leaves don’t cry about it because Bowles defense will leave you to another division title like he did this year right? He has to leave apparently just so Bowles fans know how dumb they are.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:04 pm
@tttf
dude.. every time you post i feel even more embarrassed for you.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:04 pm
Current coaches with 3 straight division titles.
Andy Reid
Sean McVay
and
Todd Bowles
If you don’t like Bowles at all, you must think Jason Licht is one of the top GMs of all time.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:05 pm
Please name me a coach who got us 5 straight division titles (whether as the HC or just being part of the organization).
Dungy? Nope
Gruden? nope
Bowles? Oh yeah
Argue all you want. Division is soft or whatever. Doesn’t matter bc in the end there is no “soft” or “hard” division title – just the title
And name another NFC team that has done that? I’ll wait
January 5th, 2025 at 5:05 pm
who the hell is 3 games above .500 in a 3 year span with 3 division titles? Jeff Fisher is drooling somewhere

This off season will address the secondary, then we’re gold.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:06 pm
That’s garbage Joe. I have spelt it out on this site many times and no one ever disputes my reasoning with facts. You just get a win we should over a garbage team and say “duhhh another win Bowles is great, haters take an L.”
Are we trying to win the worst division in football or win Super Bowls. I shouldn’t hear this crap outta anyone defending Bowles until we are in the NFC championship game. Then you can say tough day for the Bowles detractors. Cause I don’t even dislike Bowles, I just won’t accept mediocrity when I know a coach like KOC or Payton or Reid would have this team at 12 wins instead of 10. Wake up.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:06 pm
To the legion of clueless fans on this site
Coach has a defense depleted by injuries
Still they went 6-1
He not going anywhere
January 5th, 2025 at 5:06 pm
A lot of people in love with mediocre coaching. It took everything we had to be a 5-11 team. But this is nothing new under Bowles. After the 1 and done from the playoffs I hope the Glazers have the brain power to do the right thing.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:07 pm
This team needs secondary overhaul this offseason. A solid secondary helps your pass rush.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:07 pm
Let’s be real—availability of quality players is the foundation of success, and Kyle Shanahan is the perfect example. He’s a brilliant coach, but even he struggles when key players go down. Look at the difference when his roster is healthy and loaded with talent—it’s night and day.
The same goes here. You can’t expect elite results when backups and UDFAs are taking on starter-level responsibilities. Instead of piling on Coach Bowles, let’s focus on building a deeper roster so the team has the tools to compete at the highest level, week in and week out
January 5th, 2025 at 5:08 pm
omg what a gnarly game, I need to rewatch, I turned it off for a while (sorry, I am a 65 y/o woman, my heart was racing really fast) so glad it turned out ok. God Bless the Bucs!
January 5th, 2025 at 5:08 pm
For those saying the tam was poorly coached…I guess that means Coen did a bad job today on offense too.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:08 pm
To those geniuses who praise Bowles, what is there to praise? His defense is terrible and his offense which he has nothing to do with, wins games.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:09 pm
Trask
Was it horseshoes or football, WTF are you whining about loser. Which team won? Which Coach won his 3rd straight Division title? Which QB is getting rave reviews. Which QB has drawn virtually ZERO interest and never mentioned in trade rumors.
FACTS against the OPINION of an unhappy troll. Thanks for showing up though it’s fun laughing in your face.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:09 pm
Injuries is a part of football. Stop using this as an excuse for poor play. Every team has to deal with injuries. There will be injuries next season to. Should we just give Bowles a pass every year because of injuries? LMAO
January 5th, 2025 at 5:10 pm
I bet all the Bowles lovers enjoyed that first half when the team looked lifeless and unprepared for what the Saints were bringing. Thankful again for Baker and Mike today as much as anything else.

I turn 60 this year. I realized a few years back that I was stressing out too hard over the Bucs…had to put some mental distance between me and then for a bit (still caught all the games though…except one this season because my brain forget we were playing.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:10 pm
Bonzai, this may literally be the first time I agree with you. If the Bucs lost then why would you bring back the coach who couldn’t scheme a high scoring game on the Saints?
January 5th, 2025 at 5:11 pm
He is staying get over it. I am sure they will invest heavy on the db’s in draft. They literally fielded 4th string and guys off the streets when injuries hit them hard.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:11 pm
Todd and Jason need to arrange a reunion between Baker and a very disenchanted Myles Garrett!
January 5th, 2025 at 5:12 pm
I would still fire him. He’s a mediocre coach at best. Barely above .500 for his career. Never going to get us to be a consistent Super Bowl threat. We fired Dungy so why not Bowles? If we lose Coen we will be a 5 win team next year.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:13 pm
We all know that most of the hate for Todd Bowles comes from scummy old arsoles feigning a football acumen to justify their racist hatred.
Licht is the best GM this team has ever had. He trusts Bowles.
The players have NEVER wavered in their support for their coach
We are witnessing the continuation of the greatest era in Buccaneer football. Todd Bowles has been instrumental in this success from its start
January 5th, 2025 at 5:13 pm
But then again, let’s be honest—Kyle Shanahan would’ve never survived here. Most of y’all would’ve run him off before he even had a chance to build something
San Francisco 49ers:
-2017: 6-10 (.375), 4th in NFC West
-2018: 4-12 (.250), 3rd in NFC West
January 5th, 2025 at 5:14 pm
I dunno, Joe. This D is a disaster. Has been beyond porous all year. Problems well BEFORE injuries became the thing Todd leans on to save his job. Don’t forget the other mantra: COMMUNICATION ISSUES. If they’re shredded next week he needs to be shown the door.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:14 pm
Injuries are part of football—no argument there. But let’s not pretend all injuries are created equal. Losing a key starter or two isn’t the same as having backups and UDFAs playing significant snaps week after week.
The reality is simple: depth and availability matter, and no coach—whether it’s Bowles, Shanahan, or Belichick—can overcome a decimated roster consistently. It’s not about giving anyone a free pass; it’s about understanding that a team’s success starts with having the right players on the field
January 5th, 2025 at 5:15 pm
If Shanahan made the same mistakes over and over then yes, we would run him out to. But I dont think Shanahan has the ridiculous issues The ReTodd has.

—————————–
The word is worrisome. What’s your problem? You claim to be a Buc fan since the beginning, but your comments sound bipolar. We won. My old man woke me up cos I fell asleep at the half. He’s not a Sports fan. He made sure I watched the last 2 minutes. I’m glad.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:16 pm
Joe, you’ve got app issues.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:16 pm
So the Falcons lost anyway? We would have been in the playoffs regardless, lol.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:17 pm
Let’s not rewrite the season. Before injuries piled up, this defense held its own and beat some of the best teams in the conference. The issues now are what happens when depth gets tested and starters are replaced by backups and UDFAs.
‘Communication issues’ are a fair critique, but every defense struggles when key pieces are missing. If anything, the early success proves Bowles can coach when the team is healthy. The question isn’t about showing him the door; it’s about making sure he has the tools to work with next season.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:17 pm
I agree that we would have won more games if not for key injuries.
The players love this coach, and they never give up on him. That’s the real reason he should not be fired.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:18 pm
Let’s all be honest here
With the Exception of Tom Brady’s (2021 season), the Bucs have basically “backed it’s way) into the playoffs…….
…..with average an record for the season.
And there was ALWAYS one consistent norm = poor to subpar defensive play.
So I dunno how any Bucs fans can be happy with that!!!!
January 5th, 2025 at 5:18 pm
Let’s not act like Kyle Shanahan hasn’t had his share of mistakes—clock management, anyone? Every coach has their flaws, even the great ones. The difference is, Shanahan was given time to grow and build despite early struggles.
Bowles deserves the same opportunity, especially after navigating a season with so many injuries and still keeping the team competitive. Coaching isn’t about being perfect; it’s about adapting and improving, and Bowles has shown he can do that when the roster is healthy.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:19 pm
Face it folks, Bowles is one of the best coaches in Bucs history. He’s got a .529 win percentage. Better than Gruden’a win percentage.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:19 pm
The Bucs didn’t ‘back into’ anything. They earned playoff berths, including this year, with solid wins over some of the best teams in the conference before injuries hit hard.
The claim of ‘poor to subpar defensive play’ doesn’t hold water either. When this defense was healthy, it showed it could dominate. If you’re going to critique, at least acknowledge the full story. Fans can be happy about making the playoffs while still recognizing areas to improve. It’s called perspective
January 5th, 2025 at 5:20 pm
6-1 vs teams that were a combined like 25-50. Last I checked you need to beat good teams to win the Super Bowl. Did we beat any of them this year? Lions (Campbell takes halftime FG we prolly lose), Commanders (rookie QB first start might get 2nd look and wonder what you will say if Daniels torches us) Eagles (minus top 2 WRs) Chargers (a nothing team until they got a real HC who was on short week from Chiefs with another div game on Thursday).
Listen I’m happy about the win and Evan’s getting his yards. Great day but stop the nonsense. It’s as if all you Bowles defenders think we have a bottom 10 roster and he’s working magic.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:21 pm
LUV! … Time to grow!? Bowles has been here 6 years and a HC for nearing a decade in the league.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:21 pm
i’d ask him to retire and promise him ring of honor yada yada. he knows coen should be HC
January 5th, 2025 at 5:22 pm
The Bucs will be playing the loser of the Lions/Vikings game tonight at home next weekend. Let’s see what our legend HC can game plan for a real offense. You Todd slobberers are something else after he barely beat a 5-11 team missing their starting QB, rb’s and both starting receivers. Todd didn’t get the bucs to 10-7 they got there despite him.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:22 pm
sask — the offense is wall to wall studs. defense was banged up. i don’t like him, but let’s be honest about it
January 5th, 2025 at 5:22 pm
@ D-Rome
Really?
So you’d rather have Bowles over Gruden????
January 5th, 2025 at 5:23 pm
You’re cherry-picking scenarios to discredit wins, but at the end of the day, a win is a win. Every team faces challenges—short weeks, injuries, or tough opponents—but no one’s handing out asterisks when the W gets posted. Beating teams like the Lions, Commanders, and Eagles is no small feat, regardless of your excuses.
As for Bowles, yes, he’s been around, but let’s not pretend continuity isn’t part of building success. The same fans who scream for stability are the first to demand turnover at the slightest hiccup. This isn’t about ‘magic’; it’s about navigating a season riddled with injuries, maintaining competitiveness, and getting to the playoffs. That’s not nonsense—it’s reality.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:25 pm
Why do the Bucs always play “flat footed’ after every big win the week before?
January 5th, 2025 at 5:25 pm
Yes they beat some good teams early in the season when there was no pressure on them. Lets see how they do in the playoffs. Winfield was not good this season when he played. Neither was Dean so im not inclined to believe we would still be playing at that level if they didnt get injured. Especially when you think about Bowles teams being so streaky. You know, win 4 lose 4.
Of course the Bucs can still prove me wrong with a big couple wins the next few weeks.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:28 pm
You know what
It really doesn’t matter who the Bucs play in the Playoffs….
…..because they’re gonna lose if they play like they like they played today; they’re gonna get curb stomped
……and I’m gonna love seeing all the Bowles apologists excuses of why the Bucs lost?????
Oh I know, lemme just say it now “poor coaching”
January 5th, 2025 at 5:29 pm
So now beating good teams early doesn’t count because ‘there was no pressure’? That’s a weak NARRATIVE. Pressure is part of every NFL game, and this team showed up when it mattered against strong competition before injuries derailed things.
As for your take on Winfield and Dean, let’s not act like losing key starters doesn’t matter. Even great players have off games, but their presence alone elevates the defense. Calling Bowles’ teams ‘streaky’ ignores the reality of injuries and depth issues that every coach faces.
But hey, at least you left yourself an out: ‘prove me wrong.’ If they do, will you give credit where it’s due, or move the goalposts again?
January 5th, 2025 at 5:30 pm
I think Bowles will retire and pass the torch to Coen.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:32 pm
Who said they dont count?
You are starting to sound angry.
And again I didnt say losing people didnt matter. Only that every team has to deal with injuries.
Are you having a conversation with yourself here? Because you are saying I said things I didnt say. LMAO
January 5th, 2025 at 5:32 pm
At the end of the day, ya’ll ain’t not fooling anyone. You don’t want the team to be successful—you want to be right. You’re already rooting for a loss just to push your ‘poor coaching’ agenda. That’s not being a fan; that’s feeding your own NARRATIVE.
Real fans hope for success, no matter the circumstances. If the Bucs win, will we see you back here giving credit? Or will you suddenly go quiet because it doesn’t fit your tired script? The team is in the playoffs—try acting like you actually care about that.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:34 pm
And speaking of weak narratives, “Bowles has to deal with injuries!” is pretty fricken weak. Just saying….
January 5th, 2025 at 5:34 pm
“It’s as if all you Bowles defenders think we have a bottom 10 roster and he’s working magic.”
No it’s like we Bowles defenders just want a little balance and freaking REALITY.
HE HAS WON despite some severe challenges which you haters just wish to write away.
Here’s a prime example of BS…”Todd didn’t get the bucs to 10-7 they got there despite him.” I’m not going to use the posters name because I’m embarrassed for him.
How the eff is it that you credit all the bad things when Bowles effs up, which like all humans and all coaches he does, but NEVER FREAKING GIVE HIM ANY CREDIT FOR THE WINNING?
So which is it. Todd responsible for losing and his assistants and players are responsible for the winning? Again SAD!!! Especially when a lot of the BS is from supposed Buc supporters. He’s won a division title all three years! The team is clearly improving as they work their way out of salary cap hell from the SB and the transition to younger inexperienced draft picks and FA’s.
@Sask and Buchen. The Bucs win and your opinion is invalidated and so you come here to cry your tears. AS they say in the NBA get outta here with that weak sh*t
January 5th, 2025 at 5:35 pm
Couch Fan
We’ve been on this blog together for a decade and a half—you know I’m a chill dude for the most part. But let’s be real here: downplaying wins by claiming there was ‘no pressure’ is as good as saying they don’t count. You can’t have it both ways.
And sure, every team deals with injuries, but not every team loses key starters and has to rely on backups and UDFAs as much as this one has. That kind of context matters, whether you want to acknowledge it or not.
If pointing out the flaws in your argument sounds like a conversation with myself, maybe it’s time to reconsider if your take actually holds water. LMAO
January 5th, 2025 at 5:37 pm
Be careful what you wish for, Bucs fans. While Bowles may not be the best coach in the NFL, his team gets the job done. This is a case where disgruntled fans are unable to appreciate a winning season or a division title. Run him off if you must, but don’t complain when the team slips back into the bad years. The last thing you want is to disrupt the chemistry of a team that has kept the longest active playoff streak in the NFC. Some of you are acting like the Bucs just finished a 2-14 season.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:39 pm
Saying ‘Bowles has to deal with injuries’ isn’t a weak narrative—it’s reality. Losing key starters and leaning on backups or UDFAs isn’t something you just coach your way out of, no matter who’s in charge.
It’s not an excuse; it’s a fact of the season. The great teams adapt, sure, but even they feel the impact of injuries. Let’s not dismiss something that’s been a major factor this year, especially when it’s clear how much it’s tested the roster.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:41 pm
Stoetebicsfan… Gfy
January 5th, 2025 at 5:44 pm
Does anybody remember how many years this has been the worse division in football because I stopped counting.
Stop saying we don’t have talent. Best gm yep, best quarterback, best running back, receivers, o line, d line. Check check check. It’s not hard to win this division with a garage head coach and a sorry excuse for a defensive scheme. What is anybody saying in any other division in the nfc because Bowles would have been fired already
January 5th, 2025 at 5:45 pm
Joe, are we the only team with significant injuries? Do you really believe Bowels wins any other division in football the last 3 years? Do you think he wins any division titles?
I definitely understand the players like him, but as the worst in game coach in the league, he’s never gonna hoist a Super Bowl trophy, unless he hoists one of the two in the trophy case at One Buc Place.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:46 pm

Stpetebucsfan go buy a leotard
January 5th, 2025 at 5:48 pm
Winning in a weak division doesn’t automatically discredit a coach’s ability. Bill Belichick dominated a bad AFC East for nearly two decades—are we saying his success doesn’t count? Sean Payton’s Saints had multiple runs in an NFC South that wasn’t exactly stacked. Even Andy Reid racked up wins early in the AFC West before the division got competitive.
Good coaches take care of business, no matter the competition. Winning the division is the first step, whether it’s tough or not. Pretending that success in a weaker division means nothing is just grasping for reasons to discredit Bowles. Plenty of great coaches have capitalized on similar situations—it’s part of the game
January 5th, 2025 at 5:48 pm
Its a very weak narrative when its a common theme every coach has to deal with but if we listen to what you are trying to say, only Bowles has to deal with such bad injuries. Thats weak and I call that making excuses.
You can say whatever you like about me and my fandom but I hold people accountable and dont make excuses. And I hope the Glazers do to. I will say Bowles must be the luckiest coach I’ve ever seen. Mediocre at best but keeps lucking himself right into the playoffs.
Again you can say I am leaving myself a way out by saying Bowles can still prove me wrong but so far he hasent and I have been right every step of the way.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:49 pm
Buchen
GFY? No problem. I’ll do it right after I enjoy another huge smile at the expense of all the trolls today who had their OPINIONS turned into whine by the FACT that Bowles, Mayfield, and the Bucs WIN THE DIVISION FOR THE 3RD year in a row.
So whine about that for awhile I love all the angst!
January 5th, 2025 at 5:50 pm
I have been very vocal about my dislike of Todd Bowles as a “head” coach. Yes, I think he needs to be batter, but after he put the offense back on the field with the game over to get Mike Evans those 5 yards, I have nothing but respect for the man. He believed in his team, he believed in Mike Evans and he respected the desires of the fans. That could have been disastrous but it was the right call at that time. Good job coach.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:52 pm
A lot of short memories or brand new football fans here. Team won 10 games and the South despite some huge injuries. Any TRUE Bucs fan who felt the misery of the old days should never forget what this club went through to establish success.
We can debate Bowles’ defense, but we have a good coach who has the respect of his team. If we had the best roster in the NFL and this was the result, then Id say we have a problem. Plenty other OCs will want the job if Coen leaves cause they know the D will be good and we have weapons.
Congratulation to the 2024-25 NFC SOUTH CHAMPION TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS! A proud day for all Bucs fans everywhere.

“but if we listen to what you are trying to say, only Bowles has to deal with such bad injuries.”
Who has said that? Really. Do you believe two things can be true at the same time? Yes Bowles has had to deal with horrendous injuries, no worse than Detroit or N.O. They destroyed N.O. but are simply making it more difficult for Detroit.
That is where I see the Bucs as I believe all of our sentient non trolls feel.
The Bucs HAVE indeed overcome injuries as have other teams. It’s not just posters here it’s every freaking announcer I’ve seen this month.
So your hypothesis is messed up from the start. Perhaps it’s YOUR hearing or reading not what we are posting.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:53 pm
Just to clarify, Couch Fan—did you predict a winning season?
January 5th, 2025 at 5:53 pm
Stpetebucsfan nobody is whining but you… Maybe you shouldn’t drink so much it’s really not good for you
January 5th, 2025 at 5:54 pm
During this “epic” 4 year run, the rest of the division is currently 58 games under .500. Pipe down with your Bowles the miracle worker non sense! Every team has injuries, but not every team plays their corners 12 yards off the line of scrimmage, creating easy completions…yet, the genius at HC that you all bow down to can’t figure why there’s no pass rush. His scheme is horrific, he puts his players in extremely difficult positions to try and make his stupid scheme work.
Today proved that the players, inspite of their genius HC, wanted to extend their season. You’ll also be the same bunch crying and complaining this coming October when the defense gets wrecked again by back up and rookie QBS…and for the record, the defense is bottom 3rd in the league when everyone IS HEALTHY. What’s happened is that mediocrity is now acceptable, and the Bucs have the perfect guy to lead the way. I hope he coaches several more years…you deserve him. Lol.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:55 pm
Bowles has never got it done here. Won the division the past three years, but almost by default.
Lets not revise history or pretend that his performance has been exceptional.
Personally, I cannot suffer another year of treading water and watching horribly mediocre football.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:56 pm
BTW
There is absolutely no debate with people who wish to credit all of Bowles or anybody’s success for that matter to luck.
You guys have literally created a NO WIN situation for a decent human being who has given his life to football and is respected by his players and the league.
Somebody tell me how you can achieve anything if people simply wish to call it luck…what a cheap freaking copout.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:56 pm
Let me ask an honest question. Do you see any growth at all in Bowles’s coaching ability? I havent seen any. He’s still the same coach he was when he first started here. I cant think of a single area he’s improved in.
Im not bashing him here I’m just being giving my opinion. Can anyone honestly say they seen growth?
January 5th, 2025 at 5:58 pm
Luck is a cop out but crying over injuries is a real thing that only Bowles has to deal with isnt. LMAO.
January 5th, 2025 at 5:59 pm
Winning the division three years in a row is no small feat, regardless of how you frame it. Dismissing those accomplishments as happening “by default” ignores the effort, strategy, and consistency required to achieve that in the NFL.
No one’s claiming that everything has been exceptional or that there aren’t areas needing improvement. But labeling the team’s performance as “horribly mediocre” overlooks the challenges they’ve faced—injuries, roster changes, and the sheer competitiveness of the league.
If you’re unwilling to acknowledge any of the positives and only focus on the negatives, perhaps it’s worth reconsidering what you expect from a professional football team. Success isn’t always instantaneous, but consistent division titles are a strong foundation to build upon.
January 5th, 2025 at 6:00 pm
Davenport
Are you glad the Bucs have won those three making them now in position along with today’s win to break the Saints record for Division titles?
Do those trophies have big engraving on them that say
NFC Central Division Champions by default.

Anyone on here knows that about me.
But I’ll give credit where it is due.
The defense was much better in the second half and coach Bowles deserves that credit.
Defense wins championships. Both our titles were won on defense.
January 5th, 2025 at 6:05 pm
Couch Fan—did you predict a winning season?
January 5th, 2025 at 6:06 pm
Couch
“Do you see any growth at all in Bowles’s”
Asked in good faith so I respond likewise.
YES! One of the major gripes about Bowles was his lack of going for the jugular and playing not to lose instead of win.
As he’s gained confidence, first in Baker, and this season with Coen’s playcalling success he’s gambled a LOT more. Taking the ball on coin tosses, letting Baker put a game on the line to throw it to ME when the game was wrapped up risking the only bad thing that could have changed the outcome…a PICK six.
My major gripes with Todd were alway his conservative approach which I think DID mess up his game management at times.
But at the end of the day..SHOW ME THE MONEY. IE Show me the W’s and Titles and I don’t really care how you get there. I prefer offense but if it takes the D to win a game great. I think Todd is growing more confident because he finally has an OC and QB he trusts.
January 5th, 2025 at 6:08 pm
The only thing that will save this team in the playoffs is time of possession! Because the defense is walking wounded and can’t stop a sneeze!!
January 5th, 2025 at 6:13 pm
Typical week after destroying a team, then playing like garbage! This happens time after time. TB has issues with keeping his team focused…but at least they pulled out the win.
January 5th, 2025 at 6:14 pm
Good win.
Bowles will back.
Fun reading the haters here – really losers
January 5th, 2025 at 6:15 pm
I’m not trying to convince you kool aid drinkers. Bucs, on 43 more carries have rushed for nearly a 1,000 MORE YARDS than last year, aa a team while scoring 8 points more per game. While the defense remains putrid like it has the past 3 years. You need to thank Mr. Coen for the season continuing into January. Clueless.
January 5th, 2025 at 6:15 pm
I am ok with Bowles staying IF he brought in a true DC and just stayed as HC.
January 5th, 2025 at 6:17 pm
Couch Fan—did you predict a winning season?

No I predicted another .500 season. I will admit I was wrong about Bowles lucking his way into the playoffs again.

I can agree with you on that he has gotten more aggressive though he does tend to pick some strange times to be aggressive but you are right none the less.

As for FACTUAL METRICS that show Todd’s success.
Again how about his record. In three years he has improved that record EVERY season as the Bucs continue to dig out from the SB hangover. And do the Bucs appear to be improving? Not according to many fans but…
First season a .471 win % Second season a .529 win %
This season his third a .563%. That is literally the definition of improvement!

January 5th, 2025 at 6:28 pm
It was also Bowles decision to hand the keys to the offense to Baker Mayfield.
Bowles gets credit for the offense too because he is HC.
The team is built around the offense because that’s where all the money and talent is.
And Bowles takes the talent on defense and makes them opportunistic.. just complement the offense.
No team is perfect, that’s called strategy to the tune of another division title against a first place scheduled
January 5th, 2025 at 6:29 pm
OK apologies this game just brought out the worst in me.
Teddy Roosevelt actually did a far better job than me describing why all the Bowles hate triggers me. An excerpt from his famous speech…
THE MAN IN THE ARENA
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Todd Bowles is the epitome of a “Man In The Arena”.
I wish I had thought of that sooner and saved you all my bloviating when TR hit the freaking nail on the head.
January 5th, 2025 at 6:29 pm
Bowles will get an extension that will take him to the age at which he wants to stop coaching. As long as the NFC South is the weakest division in football, Bowles shortcomings as a head coach will be hidden behind the talent that JL continues to draft and the money that the Glazers are willing to spend. As far as the injuries that the Bucs have had to deal with, Detroit , Minnesota and the LA Rams dealt with more devastating injuries and played in much tougher divisions. Injuries are part of the game and always will bee. Congratulations to the entire Bucs Organization, today was much tougher than it needed to be but a win is a win.

Honestly its not even about the wins and losses to me. If he were to lose a bunch of games where he had the team ready, disciplined and all that I would have nothing to say.
But thats not the case. How many games can you honestly say he out coached the other guy? Not many. Not many at all. How many games did he mismanage? Many. But yet the Bucs continue to win despite his… failures.
Now can you say the Bucs are a well coached team or lucky? I know what I would say.
You are right that Bucs record is getting better. Ok. How much of that is due to the terrible division? Do you think the Bucs would be just as successful in lets say the NFC west or East? Not me.
This is what I mean by luck.

January 5th, 2025 at 6:58 pm
That doesnt mean we win the division. We should know by now division games are very different. We went 0-2 against ATL and still won. I’m hoping for Washington next week to see if we can beat them again or not.
January 5th, 2025 at 6:58 pm
I don’t think Bowels wins any other division. If the Seahawks win, which is totally up in the air, we might be the 3rd seed. We better be the 3rd seed because we ain’t beating the Lions or Vikings. St. Brown and Jefferson will destroy this defense.
January 5th, 2025 at 7:12 pm
As long as Bowles gets the job done. However the stubbornness to adjust the weakness in the defense is a handicap every game. Thank goodness Cohen brought a powerful offense to keep the team in the games. If he wasn’t here you’d be looking at possibly a 4-6 win season and maybe Evans getting his record.
January 5th, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Last year we went to the Playoffs with a 9-8 record- with Bowles and no Cohen. SO, what are you talking about?
January 5th, 2025 at 7:50 pm
I have expreseed my opinion a few times.
I cant accept a defensive HC with a below average defense thats getting worse every year.
I cant accept that after 3 years as HC here and another 3 in NY he still dont know how to manage the clock late in games and situations. He has made mistake after mistake and we have seen that he does not learn, he continues to make them.
I cant accept that every couple of games we see a backup or a bad QB looking like an All Pro against us.
I cant accept that every couple of games we come out on the filed flat 9like today).
I cant accept any more soft coverage playing 7 to 10 yds off. I just cant.
That is my opinion.
But my opinion is not important.
What is important is after 3 years as a HC you cant judge Bowles on a game to game basis. We may not agree between us but after 3 years you must have an opinion that does not change after each Sunday.
Go Bucs
January 5th, 2025 at 7:55 pm
Typical Nuevo fans. GO BUCS & GO COACH BOWLES. I rather enjoy conference championships and playoff appearances. The Bucs have been my team since they were announced and I have gone way too many seasons without conference championships or playoff appearances. So thankful to and for our coaching staff and General Manager. The Bucs will be a dangerous team to play in the postseason
January 5th, 2025 at 8:29 pm
Some of you are down right bitter. As a kid I saw this team go 0-26. Yet, some of you are complaining about Bowles and the defense. We’ll, the defense has done their job when it counts.
Each lost this year was due to sloppy play from the offense. There best first round match up was Green Bay, yet we drew one of the worst. This commanders team is much more confident than earlier in the season. We need Tucker, Culp, Jarrett, Palmer, Bucky and Mike to be ready. McMillan has been babied and needs mentorship. His costly arrogance is not Bucs ball.
Once this team gets past Washington, they will be in the championship game. Hopefully it will be against the Rams in the Sembero. Peace ✌️
January 5th, 2025 at 8:30 pm
Todd, Just please fix the DEFENSE next seaon. Its among the league’s worst. Just think of how many more games the team would have won if we only had a DEFENSE.

Stop whining. Enjoy the opportunity. Enjoy the victory.
January 5th, 2025 at 10:39 pm
Defense hasnt done the job. Just barely win against crap teams BECAUSE SOFT DEFENSE SO PREDICTABLE.We just have guys that make a play here and there, 3rd string scrub QB for the Aint’s shredded us in time of posession …like all year. Like last year put Bowles next to Dumby Smith, Raheem Morris Greg Schianno, Tony Stubborn loser with 4 hall of fe defenders…gotta adjust..we will be out by 2nd round and that lifetime loser head coach will keep his job. Give us Arians or Gruden, men who actually try to win, not play not to lose.

I can’t just enjoy the win because the first article and posts I see are saying “Take an L Bowles haters”. Grow up.
I am a positive fan, I am active on these boards spending a lot of time reading about and thinking about Bucs ball. I have watched almost every game for the last 25 years.
A bunch of us have a difference of opinion when it comes to what we think is BEST for the team. No need to be calling people losers or the like. I bleed Bucs red and pewter, there is no trolling happening here. I have travelled the world as a professional athlete, I am not just a couch warrior spewing vitriol on here as it seems some of you are.
