Bucs-Panthers Open Thread

January 1st, 2017

It’s about kickoff time as the Bucs gun for their fourth consecutive home victory against the “sabbatical-thinking” Panthers.

Meaningless game? It shouldn’t be for the guys on the field.

The Bucs are in no position to mail in a game in front of the home faithful. That would be a bad look for a first-year head coach and a team on the rise.

Just win!

Bang it here with your Bucs thoughts throughout the game.

Joe is live at the Den of Depression and will bring you savage postgame coverage with Tampa Bay’s only Hall of Fame voter, Ira Kaufman.

    Although I am very disappointed that we are not in the playoffs… I cannot wait to see what this teams looks like year with a little more added talent!

    #draftJohnRoss

  2. Born again Bucs fan Says:

    Next year **

  3. Tampa Tony Says:

    Fingers crossed Jameis is turnover free and the Bucs win the game to finish 9-7. Which is better than most thought they’d finish

  4. TheBucsAnthem Says:

    I’m just watching to see if Jameis breaks those records

  5. DB55 Says:

    Uhm it appears as though she has a bulge in her bikini bottom.

  6. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Joe not taking any chances on forgetting the thread this week, lol.

  7. Zwak Says:

    It’s still swollen from last night!

  8. LakeLandBuc Says:

    This game has a lot of meaning for the Carolina Panthers. They are trying to position themselves for a Top-10 draft pick. All the Bucs have to do is show up and the game is their’s. Today is Tank Day for the Panthers.

  9. Pickgrin Says:

    Real progress was made towards molding this team into a winner in 2016.

    Lets end this season on a positive note and finish with a winning record for the 1st time in what feels like forever..

    I want to see SCam hiding and pouting under his towel today!

    Bring it Defense!

    Break some records #3 and #13!!

    Lets see Aguayo nail a 53 yarder. Lets see Hargreaves get his 2nd pick. Lets see Spence get his 7th sack. Lets see Kwon get 15 tackles a sack and a fumble recovery.

    Get-R-Done

    Go Bucs!!

  10. IndyBucsFan Says:

    This year we learned to compete
    Next year we learn to win

  11. ATrain Says:

    OK what is with this chick in the pic

  12. The bucfan 88 Says:

    The Bucs anthem I’m with u look guys we are not going to the playoffs but at least we get to see something no buc QB ever done

  13. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    You know…this has got to be the least stressful game of the season.

    We’ve already reached the .500 benchmark, so if we lose, the season has still been satisfying.

    And if we win, we have our best season in six years.

    Either way, the future looks promising (so long as Mike Smith stays another year)!

  14. Chris Says:

    I woulda preferred my dark hair girl with the white bikini, instead I get a blonde with a mini package

  15. ColoradoBucs Says:

    Cmon and pass Freeman’s record!

  16. tmaxcon Says:

    Hopefully this is last bucs game featuring soft serv

  17. MadMax Says:

    My favorite Buc pic! Come on Bucs, lets end this season on a high note with a win. We’re making progress….Go Bucs!

  18. MadMax Says:

    Wow! What a job by JW3! Hump!

  19. ColoradoBucs Says:

    Some high passes from JW3. I don’t like that.

  20. ColoradoBucs Says:

    Beautiful scramble on 3rd and 10

  21. Bangkok Buc Says:

    Too high!!!!

  22. ColoradoBucs Says:

    We look way calmer than the DAL & NO games

  23. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    You heard the commentator. That 2nd rounder has made his last 7. He’ll be in Tampa a long long time. Good job Mr. Licht, way to go get’em. Go get another one next draft.

  24. lurker Says:

    “Go get another one next draft.”

    one kicker at a time, please. and not drafted in back-to-back years. lol

  25. Chris Says:

    Cause Noles not biased or anything

  26. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Hope the defence stinks today. Less to worry about with Mike smith leaving. Lol

  27. ColoradoBucs Says:

    Does any one else hate how they always show Newton taking his deep breath before the first snap of the game?

  28. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Lol, defence is DOODOO

  29. Chris Says:

    I see the defense is in early season form

  30. Chris Says:

    Mccoy blown completely out if v that play

  31. cmurda Says:

    As I say every week, Mike Smith’s defense is soft and light on energy. Please take Mike Smith Jax. I dare you.

  32. lurker Says:

    defense got worked…they scored too easily.

  33. Bangkok Buc Says:

    All the talk is drafting O in high rounds.
    Can’t disagree but boy our D looks soft sometimes. So many holes to fill for us to be legit contender. Ways to go

  34. ndog Says:

    Who’s surprised that our defense came out with no fire or effort? Good old McCoy not doing a thing to stem the tide or make a play. Pitaful he so needs to go!

  35. tmaxcon Says:

    Chris

    That is impossible. Now way gmc was blocked. Never happens she’s a beast

  36. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    LVD was just holding up a blocker. He wasn’t even trying to shed the block and tackle. SLOUCH

  37. Buc fan since 76 Says:

    Defense phoning it in

  38. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    😂Y’all done wild boys. But honestly y’all gone tell me y’all don’t see gmc opening up holes for them to run str8 thru???

  39. Gt40bear Says:

    At the risk of being a hater, is McCoy even ON the field today? Of course not all his fault, where is the REST of the middle of the defense?

  40. LongSeason Says:

    Looks like the Bucs would rather be on the beach than playing football. No heart as usual. Mike Smith, please take a head coaching job somewhere. We need a real defensive coordinator.

  41. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    I meant some wild boys

  42. richbucsfan Says:

    …and some idiot from Lakeland said the Panthers were going to lay down today. pffft…the Bucs are going to get schooled today so they have a lesson to learn during the off season…

    don’t you get sick of player tweeting that the fans are going to see what the red and pewter are made of today…If that’s what the red and pewter are made of, I want no part of it…talk talk talk

  43. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Bear you’re not he’s been obsolete for weeks now.

  44. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Good job ME I need you for next season.

  45. cmurda Says:

    Rare drop by M.E. The announcer said that was his 7th drop this year. I’m calling B.S. No way M.E has dropped 7 passes.

  46. Rrsrq Says:

    Will Gholston bout to get paid, without him, run defense weal

  47. richbucsfan Says:

    …and, now the panthers will take it 92 yards to school this defense which boasts it will show what the red and pewter are all about…54 hasn’t come to play that’s for sure

  48. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Its like gmc knows they’re plays. He moves left or right and they run str8 thru the opening.

  49. Buccoon Says:

    HATE TO SAY IT BUT THESE BUCS NEED A REALLY MOBILE QUATERBACK. SOMEBODY LIKE VICK. ITS OUR ONLY WAY TO BEING GREAT

  50. ColoradoBucs Says:

    I hope we sign WG92. He does for our run defense what M. Bennet used to do for our pass rush. Mistake letting him go in free agency back then.

  51. WeAreLost Says:

    @ Buccoon
    or get a O line.

  52. richbucsfan Says:

    how do they let 11 catch that ball?

  53. Patrick Says:

    “Freeman’s record”…..lol

  54. WeAreLost Says:

    Maybe some real receivers as well.

  55. Chris Says:

    Oh, and they’re going to throw to Olsen, not sure if the Bucs have knowledge of that or not, you know, cause we haven’t figured out how to stop him in 5 yeard

  56. Tb501 Says:

    Come on bucs

  57. Buccfan37 Says:

    Bucs look disinterested so far.

  58. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    I wanna see the replay.

  59. MadMax Says:

    We need Derek Barnett! A DE thats a game changer! We’ll have to move up for him but Im all about that. Then get JW3 his weapons.

  60. Jay Smith Says:

    McCoy’s got to go!!!

  61. Buc fan since 76 Says:

    Jamies less accurate than Newton today

  62. Chris Says:

    If Olsen played us 16 games a year, he would set records no one would ever touch

  63. 911bucs Says:

    Humphrey’s looks like he wants to be around next year

  64. ndog Says:

    The offense looks inspired because they have an actual leader unlike the d who has well you know.

  65. cmurda Says:

    @Buccoon. JW is plenty mobile. That’s just insane. The Bus need an O Line that shows up and even more desperately need a D Line. This is a going through the motions type of Bucs team playing right now. Dirk admitted that he doesn’t know what the mentality of this team is right now. It’s apparent that it’s a team that basically mailed it in after losing to N.O

  66. buccfan305 Says:

    Damn the panthers are slicing through our defense like a hot knife through butter.

    SMDH!!!

  67. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Need explosive players to get exclusive plays.

  68. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    I bet u guys gonna blame that on Winston? It’s a bucs life. Lol

  69. richbucsfan Says:

    and, so there you go…it will be 14-3 in a play or two…great job #3

  70. Rrsrq Says:

    We’re a second half team

  71. richbucsfan Says:

    so, the Bucs finish 8-8…they’ll move up a few spots in the draft…

  72. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Exactly. Richbucshater Ur an idiot

  73. cmurda Says:

    Hump showing he wants to be back next year? You sure about that. Not expecting the ball and then stopping after the deflection are 2 different things.

  74. Couch Fan Says:

    Looks to me like the Bucs are already in off season mode.

  75. richbucsfan Says:

    up yours, GOAT

  76. ColoradoBucs Says:

    I put that on Hump. Not Jameis

  77. MadMax Says:

    Lavonte doing it!

  78. buccfan305 Says:

    PICK!!! Here we go bucs fans

    The road to disappointment.

    F#@k I don’t wanna end this season on a bad freaking bad note

    GET YOUR HEAD OUTTA YOUR A$$ TAMPA!!!

  79. richbucsfan Says:

    buccfan305, the check’s in the bank…they’re playing it out is all, no passion to win

  80. Buccfan37 Says:

    Jaboo looks shaky at best.

  81. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    The stupidity is Too predictable. @ richbucshater it’s not Ur fault, Ur just a sheep

  82. Rrsrq Says:

    What was that, TB exercising ghost out of the stadium and then he misses the FG, that’s how you ice a kicker

  83. richbucsfan Says:

    never heard a Goat brag…up yours…watch the game and shut up

  84. lurker Says:

    wow.

  85. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    U really must be slow if u don’t know that GOAT stands for GREATEST OF ALL TIME

  86. tmaxcon Says:

    Nice to see lvd make a key play. I’m sure he will be lectured for too much effort by the defensive leader cancer93.

  87. Born again Bucs fan Says:

    #draftJohnRoss

  88. ndog Says:

    Another pick for Jameis off a receivers hands. He has to lead the league in those, un real. And for anyone saying that one was on him, get a new sport.

  89. richbucsfan Says:

    watch the game Goat and you’ll see the running game is putting the game into #3’s hands and he’s doing a great job today

  90. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Tale of two halfs people.

  91. Tampa Tony Says:

    23 turnovers and counting. The inaccuracy of Jameis needs to top priority this off season

  92. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    John Ross was garbage yesterday. No seperation. 11 target 5 catches for like 30 yards. No thanks.

  93. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    I love him to life Tony. But does need too work on it. I’m certain he will.

  94. cmurda Says:

    I’m not on the McCoy hater bandwagon but I’m also not that far from them. I’ve been laser focused on #93 and too many times he is double-teamed and he just stops. I can’t respect that. He needs to show up when it matters.

  95. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    The salt in this thread is so real.

  96. Tampa Tony Says:

    INT was a bit on Jameis as he threw that in there a bit hard and how do you Nole bias fans defend the consistent high throws?

  97. JAB83 Says:

    Goast of Christmas Past in the speakers…. Dirk “The Grinch” Koetter is about to show us whats up and Deliver us a playoff BIRTH….

    The Joes called it first an Act of God… I call it The Grinchmas present….

    Playoffs here we cone baby!!!!

  98. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    @Tampa Fony
    U have a point on the high throws. But that int was purely on Hump

  99. cmurda Says:

    I don’t know if it’s just here but I’ve had all kinds of little technical difficulties with Fox during Bucs games. Fox needs to get that crap together. i guess I just missed another turnover. Awesome.

  100. Buc fan since 76 Says:

    Time for the War Giraffe

  101. Tampa Tony Says:

    24 turnovers…damn

  102. buccfan305 Says:

    FFFFFFFF########CCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!

  103. richbucsfan Says:

    there you go…turnover #2…put in Glennon and other 2nd teamers

  104. EA Says:

    This guy won’t learn, stupid mistake after stoopid mistake.

  105. lurker Says:

    seriously, wtf

  106. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    The high throws are on purpose because Mike Evans can jump for catches.

  107. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Pffffffff this is the kinda BS that cost us the playoffs, unless a miracle happens!
    Sloppy

  108. Tampa Tony Says:

    @evansgoat-need to have touch on those shorter throws. This isn’t baseball

  109. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    That fumble was a multitude of things. Jameis needs to be more aware. Make a faster decision, and that’s gotta be from LACK OF SEPERATION by these practice squad Wrs

  110. Bucnut2 Says:

    JW=turnover machine. you can talk weapons all you want, until JW stops turning it over, we will never be any good.

  111. richbucsfan Says:

    EA, that will be his downfall…can’t learn

  112. SofloBucsfan Says:

    Holy Hell JW!!!! Absolutely stalled the offense with that lack of awareness

  113. Buccaneer scotty Says:

    Winston is a dumb ass I hate him!!!!!

  114. Jay Smith Says:

    @Mike Evans Goat, should we blame that turnover on Humphries to?

  115. buccfan305 Says:

    It’s gonna be alot of F#@king broken appliances around my house today!!!
    This S#!t is unf#@king acceptable!!!!

  116. richbucsfan Says:

    Newton knows this D is a joke

  117. Born again Bucs fan Says:

    GOAT- so when Julio Jones gets 2 catches for 29 yards I guess he’s garbage too? Or what about Evans who had 3 catches for 38 yards against SD?? Your name says Mike Evans GOAT but by your own assessment clearly he would be garbage then too?

    #draftJohnRoss

  118. Flgamma1856 Says:

    Here we go again. The defense will keep us in the game and the offense won’t show up.

  119. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    You see SPAWN come off that edge.

  120. Chris Says:

    Ayers has brought his game

  121. JAB83 Says:

    Hahahahahahahaha………… Yeaaaaaaaaah Baby!!!! 91 Beasting!!!!!

  122. BusteisWinston Says:

    Trade Busteis to whoever gets the #1 pick, plus their second rounder and a number 1 next year, take Myles Garrett, profit. You can find turnover machines in every draft really.

  123. Chris Says:

    Damn Spence caused that

  124. lurker Says:

    incredibly, 2 turnovers but only 3 points

  125. Buccaneer scotty Says:

    He’s so fuc**** stupid and can throw accurate at all what a waste of a 1st round pick (again)

  126. Rrsrq Says:

    So you send all receivers to one side, but don’t roll the QB that way

  127. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Bucnut and scotty go f@$! yourselves. You twice scotty b@$! @$$ mofos.

  128. richbucsfan Says:

    looks like Romo might be available next year…great mentor material

  129. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    You guys are dumb.

  130. lurker Says:

    meant 0 points

  131. Flgamma1856 Says:

    Just remember the JW fanboys will blame everyone else before they blame JW for any turnovers or over throws. So on that last fumble it was the WR, OL, the Coach, the defense, players we haven’t drafted yet. But god forbid it be JW.

  132. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    @ born again
    See that is where u are wrong. ME13 and Ross are 2 different types of WRs. ME13 is more of a pesesion Wr. Ross is a speed guy and a deep threat. He showed neither against subpar CBS yesterday.

  133. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    And if you don’t like it make your way to Orlando and holla at me.

  134. cmurda Says:

    JW doesn’t need mentors. He needs an o Line that can block and a #2 receiver. All teams have to do is double M.E. at all times and we have no offense. The opposing gameplan is pathetically predictable and basic.

  135. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Jameis throws a ball on the money, Hump tips it up and it gets picked. JAMEIS IS A BUST! HURRRRRRRRRR DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

  136. Chris Says:

    Winston looks turrible

  137. Born again Bucs fan Says:

    Jw isn’t perfect by far but he will be great. Just watch.

    #draftJohnRoss

  138. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    Talking that hate s@$! Capitol f@$! you muthaf@$! .

  139. cmurda Says:

    Another great punt by our most reliable player.

  140. Jay Smith Says:

    A other high throw!! I’m going to blame that ME13 for not jumping 5 ‘ higher.

  141. BusteisWinston Says:

    Busteis favorite meal is crab legs with apple turnovers for dessert.

  142. ndog Says:

    Noles don’t worry brother these are no where to be found when we are doing well cause their bucs fans.

  143. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    FL gamma
    Obviously u can’t read either. I just said that Winston should have been more aware and make a faster decision. All of these JW hate b1tches want him to fail and should just go root for the Titans u Mariota fan b1tches

  144. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    ^ You need to change that “clever” name to RacistWinston ya racist.

  145. Buccfan37 Says:

    Winston’s pregame pep talk should have the team fired up. This game is going down to the wire. I’m hoping.

  146. richbucsfan Says:

    agreed on the punter, but JW is young and could use someone experienced to help

  147. Chris Says:

    Mccoy got blown off the ball again

  148. Buccaneer scotty Says:

    Fuc* off you Joe bucs fan di** suckers Joe too you as* holes cant admit Winston sucks and blame everyone else’s on the team! Get over it he sucks ! And do do all you cronies

  149. richbucsfan Says:

    that was just embarrassing…their Oline pancake the entire Dline

  150. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Yeah its So funny to me that you guys would rather have a Qb with Brittle bones over Jameis. Jameis is in an Impossible spot right now. HE HAS 1 WEAPON! 1! AND ON TOP OF THAT HE’S GETTING NO TIME TO THROW!

  151. Born again Bucs fan Says:

    Goat-your basing your assessment on one game. He has 1100+ yards on the season and 17 touchdowns. He was 3 games during the regular season when he didn’t score but had 3 scores against Oregon and Cal

  152. Chris Says:

    And Newton ran right where Mccoy was again, he’s opening holes for the Panthers

  153. lurker Says:

    another wtf moment

  154. richbucsfan Says:

    McCoy is just showing what the red & pewter is all about…it was him who said that what was going to happen today…bravado never won a game

  155. WeAreLost Says:

    Half of you guys are fuc*ing insane.

  156. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    NO EFFORT AT ALL GET MIKE SMITH AND LAVONTE THE F OUTTA HERE!

  157. Chris Says:

    And the entire team quit on that play, he’s down but what happened to play to the whistle?

  158. Architek Says:

    Winston accuracy and decision making really concerns long term

  159. richbucsfan Says:

    agreed Architek

  160. lurker Says:

    the haters and cockroaches just cant let it go and let us enjoy the last game. silly, little people.

  161. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    @ born again
    Bama was the biggest game of the year against the best team in the country. If u cant show up for the biggest game of the year that says something

  162. Chris Says:

    McCoy’s not in, must be hurt, that’s what Joe’s and his fan boys give us for an excuse

  163. JMN Says:

    The announcer is a moron. Ginn was clearly down and shotty official didn’t blow whistle. He was praising their ineptness. I guess we got the B crew.

  164. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Jameis Winston will be a bad man when he has weapons to throw to and time to set up and throw.

  165. MadMax Says:

    Tandy I! GJ Tandy!

  166. lurker Says:

    freakin never had it

  167. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    @born again.
    We have months to talk about draft, and I’m sure every prospect will be throughly debated.

  168. lurker Says:

    that will be overturned…how is it an int?

  169. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    John Ross??? He couldn’t hold Mike Williams jock strap.

  170. Chris Says:

    Keith Franken Tandy!

  171. DB55 Says:

    Now WHO said WHAT about Keith Tandy?

  172. lurker Says:

    that is a crazy play. good for tandy.

  173. Chris Says:

    Fricken

  174. Ed Says:

    Dudes Jameis has to get rid of these high balls, he is winding up and over striding like a pitcher uses his body to push his leg off the rubber to get more velocity on a baseball.

    That throwing motion needs to be shortened up and his follow through has to be coming down after release instead of up at his shoulders.

    It’s a mechanical issue, the Buc coaching staff must help him become accurate by changing his motion to shorten up the throws.

  175. Architek Says:

    Blake oh we all agree but until he fixes his issues and decision making he will continually hurt the team with turnovers.

  176. cmurda Says:

    Wow. Did we have a call go our way?

  177. Born again Bucs fan Says:

    GOAT- ok then where was Evans on the biggest game of the season against Dallas? 4 catches 59 yards. Don’t get me wrong Evans is by far the best player on this team. Which is why he constantly gets double covered. Same with Ross. Alabama knew Rossis major threat and they locked him down

    #draftJohnRoss

  178. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Overturn Incoming, I will S&*# a chicken if they dont take that int away from us.

  179. Flgamma1856 Says:

    The one weapon argument is ridiculous. Because Brady has no name weapons every year and is money. Tannehill has 1 weapon, Wilson has 1 weapon and no names, Stafford had no weapons. But they make it work because they don’t throw the ball 15 feet over their head. JW does some good but he’s not this great qb that JW fanboys think he is. Yes and go ahead use the argument that he’s 22 because that’s not played out. You’re in the NFL now you need to produce no matter if you 24 or 22.

  180. richbucsfan Says:

    if Evans can’t beat Bradbury something is wrong that should be a go-to every down

  181. DB55 Says:

    If you ever thought Conte was good please go ahead and turn in your card. Thank you.

  182. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    JOHN ROSS WEIGHS 180 POUNDS! NO THANK YOU!

  183. Shiftlessjunglebum Says:

    Can’t help but think we’d be playing January football next week if Rodgers had played over Martin instead in dallas. I can see trying to get Doug going after coming back from injury but rodgers being inactive so Simms can break dance probably cost us that game.

  184. Buc fan since 76 Says:

    Charles Davis is a moron

  185. WeAreLost Says:

    Tannehill blows bro. Stafford has no weapons?

  186. DB55 Says:

    Oh and uhm I’ve see LVD I see Kwon I see Ayers VH3 TANDY lambert Russell grimes hmm anyone else. Oh k short made a nice play. Ha

  187. Born again Bucs fan Says:

    John Ross ran a 4.2 we need a deep threat. So yes #draftJohnRoss

  188. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    Tom Brady is a damn near 20 year vet. Russel Wilson Has Doug Baldwin, Who lead the league in Touchdowns at wr just last year, Jimmy Graham and Tyler Locket. And Stafford Has Golden Tate, Eric Ebron, Ameer Abdullah, Marvin Jones, And Anquan Boldin.

    Right now Jameis has Mike Evans and no time to throw.

  189. Architek Says:

    All of Winston passes are always high.

  190. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    STRAIGHT LINE SPEED IS NOT INDICATIVE OF NFL SUCCESS?

    DO YOU FOOLS NOT REMEMBER JEFF DEMPS?

  191. cmurda Says:

    Anybody else having Fox blinking continuously on Directv. I can’t even watch the game.

  192. Flgamma1856 Says:

    Who can even come close to Evans on the lions receiving core? If you say golden Tate or Marvin jones your high as hell.

  193. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Bad had a run game, the best TE, Edelman, amandola, and a defence. Wilson had a run game a TE, and the best defence in the league.

  194. WeAreLost Says:

    Evans is one player Stafford still has more weapons so friggen relax.

  195. Nole on Sat- Bucc on Sun Says:

    I apologize Joe. I’ll check back tomorrow.

  196. Poor Glennon Says:

    How your boy Winston playing…..guy is a freakin bum

  197. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    @ cmurda
    I had that last night. Just turn off Ur box and turn it back on.

  198. Rob Says:

    Please, let’s hope our human ATM, “America’s turnover machine”, doesn’t commit his third turnover now

  199. richbucsfan Says:

    every throw is high, including to Evans…

  200. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    What so funny to me is that when we were on a winning streak and Jameis was playing well, None of you Trolls had a thing to say in Support. But now that he’s having a Rough go, Here you are in full force with all your hate. Please Just go be a fan of some other team or some other support.

    We Don’t need your Negativity dragging us down any longer.

  201. DB55 Says:

    I was about to say where is the hurry up then I realized we have udfa everywhere. Hi hum I smell WR overload in the offseason. Off looks out-matched.

  202. richbucsfan Says:

    pathetic, just pathetic…no clock management and what a crap throw

  203. DB55 Says:

    Yea so him fgs.

  204. WeAreLost Says:

    I’m with you Blake it’s Fuc*ing annoying.

  205. MadMax Says:

    46 Roberto! Come on man! wtf….

  206. richbucsfan Says:

    and, of course, a miss on the fg…this team has 2 more quarters and then the offseason…enough of this dumpster fire

  207. Sydney Says:

    I called the “letdown loss” for today after last week’s bad loss and it looks like “Bad” Jameis will prove me right.

  208. ClearwaterWes Says:

    Overthrows, ball security, missed field goals. enough said.

  209. unbelievable Says:

    #sameoldbucs

  210. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    NOW THAT WAS THE DUMBEST DECISION I’VE SEEN TODAY!

  211. Rrsrq Says:

    Really don’t understand the play calling here

  212. cmurda Says:

    I tried it GOAT. Still happening. It’s only happening on Fox.

  213. richbucsfan Says:

    it will either be 14-3 or 10-3 at halftime…defense looks disinterested…let’s see…there is approximately $5 million in salaries paid for the day and they play like this??????

  214. Poor Glennon Says:

    Blake the d won most of those games. Winston looked good as a game manager

  215. Tampa Tony Says:

    Unless the d gets a TD Jameis and the offense aren’t gonna do squat

  216. ElioT Says:

    And they go into the offseason with even worse confidence in Aguano

  217. DB55 Says:

    There he is….here’s your 817k ty

  218. lurker Says:

    who is this kid?

  219. Born again Bucs fan Says:

    McCoy!!!!!

  220. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Riddle me this all u winston haters. Stafford had Calvin Johnson and looked like a BUST forever, He gets more than one weapon (tate, Jones) and now he starts to look good? Please explain

  221. buccfan305 Says:

    DIRK IS A F#@K@KING IDIOT!!!! No clock management and why in the F#@KING HELL WOULD YOU DEPEND ON A KICKER THAT YOU KNOW IS NOT A SURE THING!!! YEAH LETS JEST SETTLE FOR FG’S WITH A SHAKEY KICKER

    F#@KING IDIOT!!!!!!!

    #YOUPLAYTOWINTHEGAME

  222. lurker Says:

    mccoy taking newton out,,what a great play!

  223. MadMax Says:

    HAHAHA, Good effort Hump!!!!!

  224. Rob Says:

    All you bleeding heart, ATM “America’s turnover machine” apologists need to wake the blank up. ATM killed our playoff hopes the last two weeks when it mattered most. He has the want to, just can’t do it consistently enough. Turnovers are killing us

  225. unbelievable Says:

    Defense does not look disinterested actually.

    Offense just can do anything.

    O-line needs to be beefed up and we need at least 1 more legit weapon on the field.

  226. Tampa Tony Says:

    @Poor Glennon- careful if you say that you are labeled as a hater. You can’t criticize Jameis and his 24 turnovers or 1500 high throws.

    Most exciting play of the day is Humphries run back

  227. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Wow! Yeah we’re playing poorly but so are the Stinkin’ Panthers!

    Fans who paid for this game deserve a refund. This is just bad football.
    No need to single out the Bucs. The NFL should be embarrassed.

    Let’s face it we’re watching last week gruel…not grool..I love that…but gruel.

    Teams that are out of it just seem to have trouble getting emotionally up to the fever pitch required to play at the NFL level. I’ve seen more passion at a Madden contest than in RayJay this afternoon from either team.

    These guys aren’t just phoning it in…that’s old school…they’re sending a quick text on their mobile and see ya’!

  228. DB55 Says:

    The starting def was on that FG return.

  229. lurker Says:

    wish u h8ers wold leave so we can enjoy this game!

  230. Blake_bucsfan Says:

    I remember him converting something Like 15-18 3rd downs against the cheifs. Guess that was him being a bust. Had a 2 Play scoring drive of Back to Back incredible plays, that was him being a bust. Outplayed Russel Wilson against a Superior Defense, Bust.

    Hasn’t been injured Once in 2 years while Mariota has ended his 1st 2 season’s with Season ending Injuries.

    ” Gee I wish we Took Mariota. ” You guys are something else.

  231. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    That last hit on Cam looked like a pretty violent slam into the ground by GMC with 93 then landing on Cam. #1 got up slowly wincing and holding his sore shoulder.

    Let’s hope he’s ready to quit with one more good hit. Let’s hope our guys refocus and come out and play like a contender the 2nd half…give us a preview of next year not last year.

  232. DB55 Says:

    I think most of the haters never seen JW play in college. It’s what he does! 4 picks in the first half then comes back in the fourth with a win. It’s exciting!

  233. Rrsrq Says:

    You play to win the game, sometimes I wonder if Dirk forgets that you play call to win the game too. The last three games, a lot of presgame hype but not taking it like it’s all about taking care of business. Chalk it up too youth and but this ish gotta change next year.

  234. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Terrible playcallng

    Again…..3rd and 5 and we throw a very low percentage pass downfield.

    2nd and 1 is the perfect time to burn them with a pass and we get the predicable run stuffed.

  235. Arealbucsfan Says:

    I’m at the game. And there’s a lot ppl here who don’t deserve to be in this stadium. Random jerseys and everybody looking at us crazy cuz we’re hollering and screaming. I jus don’t get it!

  236. ndog Says:

    All you Jameis haters are hilarious as you see everything that goes wrong with this team as his fault. Do you haters think we have a run game? Do you think we have a legit #2 receiver? Do you we have a wall of a oline? Is he perfect, heck no but he is easily the best QB we have ever had and he is only in his 2nd year. I mean do you expect him to be perfect? What do you expect from him or heck any player? Did you morons think he was going to walk into the league and win the MVP year one or two? Get a clue guys and support our QB as he is not going anywhere so get used to him or get out.

  237. Rob Says:

    I don’t hate the human ATM “America’s turnover machine”. I hate giving the ball away which he shows a propensity for doing. He needs help, obviously, but carelessness with the ball is on his shoulders most of the time

  238. Couch Fan Says:

    Cant wait to see Joe’s next “McCoy Haters are idiot fans” article. Oh wait, that only happens the 2 or 3 games McCoy decides to show up during the season. Not a peep during his disappearing act during the most point of the season…

  239. WeAreLost Says:

    Come on bucs let’s get this second half!

  240. Tampa Tony Says:

    @Tampabaybucfan-

    I’m here at the game and that’s on Jameis he had 2 other short routes that he could’ve thrown to get the first down but consistently chooses to go deep rather than keep a drive alive

  241. ndog Says:

    Tony so I suppose you think everyone of those turnovers are on the qb right? It’s not called being a Homer for Jameis it’s called using your brain. If a qb, any qb gets hit while throwing the ball and it is a fumble or pick that is on the oline or back not blocking. We will do football 101 for you later if you would like.

  242. Poor Glennon Says:

    Db55 ya 4 picks in the first half might work against East Nutsack state but this is the NFL. When exactly are these 4th quarter comebacks gynna happen

  243. Rrsrq Says:

    Two dropped interceptions, one missed field goal, drops and inaccurate throws, coach not coaching to win. Complimentary football.

  244. Tampa Tony Says:

    @lurker- what is there to enjoy? Offense looks like crap, 2 more turnovers by Jameis and the run game is inconsistent as hell. Highlight of the day was the Hump run back.

  245. Kobe Faker Says:

    THIS IS KOBE FAKER

    KOETTER THE CLOWN DID IT

    THIS IS MY LAST POST

    KOETTER THE FVKING CLOWN…CANT DEAL WITH THIS SH!T NO MORE

    GOODBYE EVERYONE

  246. DB55 Says:

    MOIIIKKKO

  247. Rrsrq Says:

    That’s how you not drop an INT, Grimes!!!!!

  248. Couch Fan Says:

    Nice play Grimes.

  249. MadMax Says:

    GRIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  250. Rob Says:

    Thank you Grimes. Scoring was huge since our offense can’t. Go Bucs!

  251. lurker Says:

    just leave, don’t say bye

  252. Tampa Tony Says:

    @ndog- my football IQ is quite high. Not every turnover is the QB’s fault but all 24 still get credit to him. You could probably deduct a good 8-10 from his total as a result of poor blocking or bouncing off a receivers hands. But the accuracy and decision making has gotta improve in year 3 or this is just who he is. The accuracy and constant turnovers are gonna keep him from being more than just good.

  253. JAB83 Says:

    Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah Baby Yeah!!!!

  254. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Well, let’s all thank Dirk. He was the one who finnaly rid us of that Loser KOBE F#CKER

  255. MadMax Says:

    Kobe, you’re addicted….so stop saying bye lol

  256. WeAreLost Says:

    Thank you Dirk!

  257. ndog Says:

    Tony we all agree with that and there is no reason to think he won’t improve.

  258. Rrsrq Says:

    What kind of kick off was that

  259. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Isn’t Stewart getting near retirement. Damn he OWNS US!

  260. Tampa Tony Says:

    Lurker I’m a 8 year season ticket holder and lifelong fan I’m not going anywhere. Sorry I have higher expectations for a #1 pick than at least 1 turnover in 12 of 16 games and choking away a playoff spot

  261. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Gut check time! Hot in the stadium sun. 20 minutes or so and it’s vacation.

    Who REALLY wants this game? We are about to find out!

  262. ElioT Says:

    Yeah!

    If Doug Martin is old then what is Stewart?

  263. DallasBuc Says:

    AguaOh,no strikes again. Cue the excuses…
    Mediocrity has a warm home here in Tampa Bay

  264. ElioT Says:

    Let’s go Bucs!!!

    Let’s go Jameis!!!

    Last game of the year! Go out with a bang!!!

    This year has been a success because I’m sad it’s over.

    Go Bucs!!!

  265. MadMax Says:

    The heck was that JW3? Way overthrown!

  266. cmurda Says:

    Shepherd can’t catch. use your hands to catch the ball dude.

  267. unbelievable Says:

    Cmon shep you gotta hang on to that!

  268. DallasBuc Says:

    Oline flat out sucks. Cue the excuses…

  269. unbelievable Says:

    Shep looked muchbetter before he got injured.

  270. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    I thought that as well cmurda until I saw the replays. The DB’s just made great plays on both of those with their arms in the middle of Sheps.

    I suppose that one could make an argument that a really powerful receiver might outmuscle the DB but it would be a great catch. IE I don’t consider those drops as much as good defense.

  271. BuccoDav Says:

    Great, the defense is on the field… now we have a chance to put more points on the board!

  272. Bucnut2 Says:

    We need to draft a QB in the 4-5th rounds. JW is not very good. Let’s hope we can find the next Prescott

  273. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Dallas
    No excuses, this O line is trash. BUT, we CAN’T draft O line in the 1st cuz there is no1 worthy of a 1st.

  274. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Spawn should have had 2 sacks today so far. SMH. This kid is GOOD

  275. DB55 Says:

    There went Spence’s shoulder. Looks like it popped out when he landed.

  276. ElioT Says:

    That’s a real kicker Aguano.

    Take notes you sack of bat turds!!

  277. DB55 Says:

    *Spawns shoulder

  278. ndog Says:

    Buncut you are such an idiot.

  279. Rrsrq Says:

    Carolina defense is not that stout this year, the fact that we can’t score on them is not a good sign

  280. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Sucnutz
    Ur an idiot

  281. ElioT Says:

    This is not good if Jameis ends taking an Aguano all over the field.

    Come on!!

  282. DallasBuc Says:

    I love the deafening silence of the AguaOh,no apologist crowd

  283. Bucnut2 Says:

    NDog- 24 TO by a QB leads the NFL. Who’s the idiot?

  284. Bucnut2 Says:

    ME- JW leads the NFL in turnovers. Who’s the idiot?

  285. Bucnut2 Says:

    Great throw by JW

  286. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    This play calling is PATHETIC.

  287. Bucnut2 Says:

    ME- maybe it’s not the pay calling?

  288. Rrsrq Says:

    How many times can you call the same play, DK

  289. DallasBuc Says:

    Winston is all talk today. Not backing it up.

  290. cmurda Says:

    Drive ends because of a non-holding call.

  291. ElioT Says:

    Maybe it’s lack of talent/depth but this offense has sucked balls the last quarter.

    Really pathetic way to end a season.

    Much work to do.

  292. Bucnut2 Says:

    Winston= over hyped

  293. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    He also is better thru 2 years than Andrew luck and Scam newton

  294. richbucsfan Says:

    Koetter needs an OC next year. This is terrible play calling.

  295. Bucnut2 Says:

    ME- no he’s not, look at TO.

  296. Bucnut2 Says:

    Terrible play calling, terrible QB.

  297. ndog Says:

    Easy you are Bucnut you are.

  298. Tampa Tony Says:

    Dallasbuc-watch out you can’t criticize the guy who made FSU football relevant again.

  299. DallasBuc Says:

    More garbage officiating to go with this garbage product on the field

  300. richbucsfan Says:

    somehow the Bucs will lose this…they have had every opportunity to win this going away, but terrible coaching and terrible qb play will cost the game

  301. cmurda Says:

    That was an INT

  302. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Go root for mariota then u bum. We don’t want or value your opinion here

  303. Tampa Tony Says:

    Defense is keep us in it big time

  304. unbelievable Says:

    WHAT A TERRIBLE CALL!

    These refs are fukin terrible

  305. Bucnut2 Says:

    dog- I am one of the few on this site who don insult those they disagree with

  306. Tampa Tony Says:

    Sorry Evans, the truth hurts. Tampa born n bred, I’m a Buc for life

  307. WeAreLost Says:

    LVD!!!!

  308. ElioT Says:

    Bad news, the offense gets the ball back.

  309. Chris Says:

    That is David’s true calling, blitzing lb

  310. Couch Fan Says:

    With all the cameras and technology the NFL uses, you would think there wouldnt by any angle issues. BucLuck strikes again.

  311. Rrsrq Says:

    Feed ME, period, but not withWR screens

  312. richbucsfan Says:

    first sheep, now bum…you’re really creative GOAT….since you act like a child, remember, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me”… now, shut up and watch the game you add no value

  313. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    It’s on the offense now. We need a long time consuming drive for seven! Just move the chains and keep em movin’.

  314. Bucnut2 Says:

    All- let’s be honest. JW should look a LOT better than he does at this point in his career. His judgement and accuracy are a MAJOR concern.

  315. Tampa Tony Says:

    Bucnut- that doesn’t go unnoticed

    Usually if you have to result to insults it means you have a hard time conveying your point

  316. richbucsfan Says:

    and, fyi, I wanted #3 not Mariota

  317. DallasBuc Says:

    Our oline is getting brutalized out there. Have some fn pride

  318. DallasBuc Says:

    Brutalized

  319. Bucnut2 Says:

    nice series

  320. ElioT Says:

    Booo!!!

    This is a weak d*ck effort by the offense.

  321. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    The last 2 drives stalling are on shep, or the officials. Shep dropped 2 1st downs.

  322. richbucsfan Says:

    all GOAT can do is call people idiots, a real name caller….and, if you criticize #3 you are a Mariota lover…nothing could be farther from the truth…fact is, #3 is playing his worst game of the season

  323. Tb501 Says:

    The refs sick!

  324. DallasBuc Says:

    JoeLichtFan- tell me more about how great the oline is again?

  325. Tampa Tony Says:

    @Chris- I can’t agree any more with you. David excels at blitzing and struggles in coverage

  326. 911bucs Says:

    Next man up at wr if there’s any available on the roster still

  327. Rrsrq Says:

    I’m gonna guess, Winston missing Brate and ASJ

  328. Tb501 Says:

    Wth is with the refs.

  329. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    The offense is terrible……receivers not getting open…….Anger is our best offensive weapon.

  330. richbucsfan Says:

    the fact the roster is thin in talent falls on Licht

  331. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    @poor bucs bum
    U obviously are a sheep, and we all know that Sucnutz is a bum. BUT it is hard to convey my opinion when I am talking to the mentally disabled. It is quite frustrating honestly.

  332. unbelievable Says:

    Listening to these announcers and seeing their little prepared media packages just illustrates how clueless the national media actually is on our team.

    Our offense is just decimated.

  333. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Pathetic score right now… Another game being handed to us, yet we can’t pull away. No RB’s, shoddy line play, drop after drop. Mailing it in. Damn it! Spend the cheese and draft well, game on!!! Shame tho, free post season football was there for the taking this year:( smh.

  334. richbucsfan Says:

    there you go again, GOAT, all you can do is name call, you have had 3 quarters to convey your point….somehow you’re putting the shoe on the wrong foot…go away

  335. DallasBuc Says:

    rich- there is no room for criticizing Licht on this site

  336. Tampa Tony Says:

    Not sure if these last 4 games are gonna get Mike Smith a new job

  337. ARGH_M8E Says:

    FuuuuuuuuuuuhQ refs btw, joke!

  338. unbelievable Says:

    WTF KINDA COVERAGE IS THAT?

    Elliot getting owned again.

  339. Flgamma1856 Says:

    Defense does it again.

  340. MadMax Says:

    Tandy again! Better make sure he stays…..LD54 too with 2 sacks.

  341. richbucsfan Says:

    and you need to be careful with the name call regarding mentally disabled…there may be some here with a loved one with such a malady in real life,,,just shows you have nothing to offer…go away

  342. ElioT Says:

    The Tandy Man Can!!!!

    There’s your starting FS for 2017!

  343. dee Says:

    Tandy should be the starter sign him.

  344. richbucsfan Says:

    thanks DallasBucs, we agree

  345. DB55 Says:

    LVD and Tandy again.

  346. unbelievable Says:

    At least Tandy is balling.

    Look the refs actually through a flag our way!

  347. Chris Says:

    Keith Tandy, Davis player of the week

  348. DallasBuc Says:

    Conte- had a great INT too

  349. Bculaw Says:

    Tandy needs to start next year. I’d love to see what he can do over an entire season.

  350. Flgamma1856 Says:

    There are been more over throws then drops today but don’t criticize JW. He’s been lights out.

  351. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Tandy is the man for sure!!!! The Tandy man can!!! What a breakout year!!! Safety position continues to impress, still add 1 more and BOOM

  352. Chris Says:

    Defensive,

  353. Real Buc Fan Says:

    Wow another IT Winston sucks is that four already? Oh wait a minute that was Cam last years player of the year he throws picks too!

  354. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    @ poor bucs bum
    I can’t help that u can’t see that we have a crappy line 1 wr no TE and little talent @ Rb. Not to mention that this play calling is questionable at best. But, u can’t teach stupid so o will stop trying.

  355. lurker Says:

    when did tandy and conte get good?

  356. Tampa Tony Says:

    Competition of which qb can turn it over the most. Cam could easily have 3-4 picks talk about not looking like a MVP. Glad he’s not smiling and dancing in our house

  357. WeAreLost Says:

    @Rich
    Are you a gay a*s SJW?

  358. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Are there any dominant OL in this year’s draft. I’d like to roll like Dallas and our current group is getting mauled by a semi interested football team.

    We can get better!

  359. richbucsfan Says:

    I think we can agree that this officiating crew is at the bottom of the barrell

  360. Buc68 Says:

    I know it’s fun to hate Winston. There is a reason they will have the most cap space available in the offseason. They have a WR that was working at a family dollar a few months ago. I will judge him once we put an actual NFL roster on the field. This roster is horrible. Last week I watch a qb with all day to throw and weapons all over field. If you can’t see just how piss poor the talent level is on this offense you are blind.

  361. lurker Says:

    site should change its name:
    knuckledraggerbucsfan.com

  362. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Yep Rich we can definitely agree on that and even the TV announcers are starting to point it out.

  363. richbucsfan Says:

    and you would make the perfect poster child for that

  364. DallasBuc Says:

    Oline is out there trying to slow dance with a great white

  365. DallasBuc Says:

    AguaOh,no

  366. Chris Says:

    Umm maybe to Evans one on one

  367. Tampa Tony Says:

    Look away

  368. Tampa Tony Says:

    Anger with the save

  369. WeAreLost Says:

    Good times.

  370. richbucsfan Says:

    now this is just too much…he needs to be seriously evaluated in the off season…this experiment is just not working

  371. ARGH_M8E Says:

    I’m dying lmfao! Wow

  372. cmurda Says:

    Lovin that Aguayo pick.

  373. DallasBuc Says:

    Hah! So terrible.
    Blame Doug Martin for AguaOh,no’s ineptitude! That’s how it goes around here…

  374. Chris Says:

    He took about half a minute on his approach

  375. ClearwaterWes Says:

    They are a lot further from a playoff contender than many think.

  376. Rob Says:

    Cut the worst kicker in the NFL loose today. What an absolute joke. Nothing professional about that POS !

  377. ElioT Says:

    Here’s an idea for 2017:

    Anger Punt or go for it EVERY 4th down.

    F**k this field goal team and f**k Roberto Aguano!!!

  378. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    How do you get a FG blocked? Is there anybody putting in any effort out there?

    It’s ten ten! For freaking sake just use the mercy rule for we fans. Call this stinking game and give a loss to BOTH teams. Neither deserves to win and they are putting a truly inferior product on the field. They look like freaking Ohio State!

    Just stop the game already…call it a tie and let both teams simmer on their ineptitude….

  379. ndog Says:

    That sack, false start, and blocked fg were all Jameis fault.

  380. DB55 Says:

    There goes k short again ummm

  381. Tampa Tony Says:

    When a mediocre d is your saving grace is probably better off that we didn’t get into the postseason

  382. Flgamma1856 Says:

    It’s the raiders and cowboys game all over again. Defense gives us a chance but the offense falls apart.

  383. dee Says:

    This offense sucks

  384. ElioT Says:

    Buc ball 101.

    Let Scam & Co. hang around.

  385. DallasBuc Says:

    We have no business being in the playoffs

  386. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    I”m not sure at this point it won’t be better if we lose this game. I was totally on board for winning and confidence and momentum yada yada.

    After watching this offensive performance no points on two ints!!!! We need to lose and simmer for an entire year about losing culture and how bad it is to turn the ball over and just let our guys anguish for six effing months because this effort is embarrassing!

  387. Chris Says:

    FSU Elliott sucks

  388. unbelievable Says:

    Wait so it’s the kickers fault that the o-line got a penalty and then couldnt block either?

    SMDH some of u are idiots.

  389. JMN Says:

    Another kicker should be brought in for camp next season. I don’t think Licht’s ego will allow it though.

  390. Tampa Tony Says:

    The only fans who like the Roberto pick are FSU homers who like a school they never attended more than the Bucs

  391. Bucnut2 Says:

    Let’s hope we can draft the next Prescott in the 4 or 5th and JW gets hurt. JW looks like sh!t against the 32nd ranked pass defense. Sorry to all you Noles. I know th truth hurts. For a dose a reality take off your Garnett colored glasses. JW is not in the ACC any more.

  392. richbucsfan Says:

    a touchdown will be the final nail in the Bucs coffin and season

  393. , not Chris Says:

    The kick was too low, blocked in the middle of the line not from the edge

  394. Bucnut2 Says:

    JNN – you a re correct. We need to bring in another kicker. IF we did RA would be driving a beer truck. EVERY kicker in the NFL is better than he is.

  395. DallasBuc Says:

    unbelievable- no it’s the kickers fault for not making kicks. That includes kicking the ball too low so it gets blocked. But carry on with your hilarious excuses for mediocrity

  396. bucfancocacolagoodtimes Says:

    I think Mike would make a hell of a head coach for the bucs. Koetter showing no imagination or even an adjustment.

  397. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    You can feel it now. 8-8 doesn’t cut it. No we don’t fire the coach or GM or get a new QB.

    But there should be nothing but shame at One Buc until next season when a chance to redeem themselves returns with the 17 season.

    Right we should spend the offseason with a feeling of nausea. This finish was just proof of how far we have to go. Carolina has absolutely SUCKED TODAY! Cam has been horrid and yet we can’t even compete. There went my optimism. I hate teams that phone it in at the end of the year in the “meaningless” games.

    This team still needs some HEART!!!

  398. ClearwaterWes Says:

    I know this game doesn’t mean anything so why am I so aggravated.

  399. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    This game is a blooper reel

  400. richbucsfan Says:

    yep, agreed cocacola, there is not one shred of creativity…but even if there were, the offense would mess it up

  401. Rob Says:

    Sad when you realize that we can at least pick a little higher in the draft after this crisply Oanthers team embarrasses us, once again, in our stadium. God we suck

  402. ClearwaterWes Says:

    They are not playing like they have a chance.

  403. richbucsfan Says:

    well, GOAT, we agree on that

  404. Tampa Tony Says:

    Is Gano another FSU kicker?

  405. lurker Says:

    lmfao

    no one wants to win this thing

  406. bucfancocacolagoodtimes Says:

    I hope everyone realizes Bucs aren’t much better than last year, they just got lucky for 5 game stretch facing teams with a whole load of injuries. Even can’t beat a team that gave them 4 ints. Ridiculous. This team isn’t going to get it done with Koetter at the helm.

  407. Bucnut2 Says:

    ME- part of the bloopers are our QB

  408. 911bucs Says:

    Got to be the turf with the field goal kickers at home

  409. JAB83 Says:

    PLAYOFFS HERE WE COME BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

    TAMPA!!!!!!

  410. DallasBuc Says:

    The good thing is AguaOh,no made a bunch of his gimme kiddie kicks for few weeks there! Janikowski anyone?

  411. richbucsfan Says:

    this game does call into question the coach’s ability to run the team and call plays

  412. Tampa Tony Says:

    8-5 to possibly 8-8 would hurt a lot

  413. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Golf anyone?

  414. Bucnut2 Says:

    The Glazers should be thinking about dumping Licht. He’s missed on RA, DS, and probably the only #1 pick we will have, JW.

  415. cmurda Says:

    It’s not about who wins this game. It’s about who loses it worse.

  416. ClearwaterWes Says:

    Agreed =Bucfancocacolagoodtimes

  417. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Wait… Winston w the dart! Nice pitch there, fastball!!!

  418. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    God we can’t run the ball. SMH

  419. lurker Says:

    you guys are waaaayyyy too negative. cockroaches and dung beetles have better dispositions!

  420. DallasBuc Says:

    Bucnut2- that kind of talk doesn’t belong here at JoeLichtFan!

  421. richbucsfan Says:

    if any consolation the Steelers are tied with the Browns…

  422. Bucnut2 Says:

    Nice decision JW

  423. Tampa Tony Says:

    Awful decision

  424. Bucnut2 Says:

    Should have been picked in the EZ

  425. Tampa Tony Says:

    Yesssssss!!!!!!

  426. Bucnut2 Says:

    WOW!! A Bucs TD. Even more rare, JW threw it

  427. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    God Winston is SOOOOOO BAD. LOL. SUCK IT HATERS

  428. DallasBuc Says:

    What a great play by Winston after a horrible play!

    I think most of the haters never seen JW play in college. It’s what he does! 4 picks in the first half then comes back in the fourth with a win. It’s exciting!

  430. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Even if we win it feel like a tie…you know kissing your sister.

    Well we have a foundation of talent but we have to get rid of our choke factor and start using our noggins!

    A lot of work this off season.

  431. DB55 Says:

    Record breaking TD in fact. Pssft. You dudes don’t know that you don’t know.

  432. MadMax Says:

    JW3, franchise record! Just tighten up on the overthrows and you’re going to be one of the legends.

  433. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Lurker- go find some shade… delusional lol. U must b a NEW fan, and I use the word “fan” loosely. Real fans call it how it is.

  434. BucU Says:

    JW with the record touchdowns in a season with one we and no running game

  435. Rob Says:

    Nice pass! Thank goodness the forced ball on the previous play into triple coverage didn’t result in another turnover by “America’s turnover machine”. 32 picks in two years cost us how many games?

  436. lurker Says:

    “WOW!! A Bucs TD. Even more rare, JW threw it”

    moron

  437. DB55 Says:

    It’s exciting!

  438. Tampa Tony Says:

    Lurker- Fans are a reflection of their team. We’ve been beaten down by bad drafts poor play etc etc this team is gonna have to play consistently well to earn some goodwill in the area. Not just draft a bunch of FSU players

  439. ARGH_M8E Says:

    See^^^^ contradictory mofo! STFU

  440. DallasBuc Says:

    AguaOh,no almost missed the extra point. What a disaster!

  441. ARGH_M8E Says:

    Lurker = KOBE FAKER

  442. lurker Says:

    stfu m8e

    just because you complain and b1tch and moan does not mean you know jack! smh

    silly, little man

    i have been here a long time and this site has been going downhill for a while.

  443. DallasBuc Says:

    TampaTony- well said

  444. Rrsrq Says:

    So that drive has been available all game, especially right before the half, ijs

  445. Mike Evans GOAT Says:

    Winston 1st QB in NFL HISTORY to have back to back 4000 yard seasons to start a career. LET THAT SINK IN HATERS. HISTORY
    #FACTS

  446. Tampa Tony Says:

    Way to erase Freeman from the record book!

  447. Real Buc Fan Says:

    2 records for JW today lets draft a QB cause this one 22 years old playing with 5th and 6th string practice squad players and crap for TE with Brate on IR. OH I am just making excuses.

  448. DallasBuc Says:

    Whew!

  449. lurker Says:

    tampatony,

    even if they lose, did you have them going 8-8? they haven’t exceeded most expectations? they are not as bad as some think, nor as good as others think. but i would say most of us would say 8-8 is improvement.

  450. NJBucsFan Says:

    Dirty Sanchez is going to ruin any playoff hopes we have…

  451. unbelievable Says:

    Dallas, actually I’ve been plenty critical of RA all season. But when half your line collapses that ain’t on the kicker.

  452. Rob Says:

    Our exhausted defense giving up huge chunks now

  453. Tampa Tony Says:

    Damn…

    Benjamin looks like a NBA player compared to our dbs

  454. unbelievable Says:

    Nice play grimes

  455. DB55 Says:

    Tony

    It helps to keep in mind that the Bucs are one of the worst franchises in the history of the NFL. If not for the browns by far the worst. The Cubs of the NFL. Jameis is the best thing that’s happened to Tampa since Warren Sapp showed up.

  456. lurker Says:

    also, why not save the b1tchin until after the game? all the negative is sad, not real. heck, the cockroaches cannot even agree on what is wrong with the team.

  457. Rrsrq Says:

    Tandy time

  458. DallasBuc Says:

    lurker- there is too much wrong with the team to have consensus and it all starts with ego-in-chief Jason Licht

  459. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    Miko is right about one thing. Brent does have some serious hop.

  460. Tampa Tony Says:

    Lurker- at the start of the year I said 7 wins maybe 8 if there was some areas that improved (Jameis turnovers and the d) so they are right where I hoped. But I also believe in adjusting expectations. After 8-5 then choking away games that hurts. So while the team has made progress as a whole I feel like Jameis and the o line regressed. If you start off 8-0 but finish 8-8 do you think it’s still progress?

  461. lurker Says:

    lol

    so there is no positive for you, dallasbuc

    smh

  462. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    We’re not that far Dallas. We have identified some great young talent and just need to rebuild.

    Speaking of Dallas…how did the Cowgirls do last year. 4-12!!! That’s some excellent football eh. So now they have a good year. The Bucs can do the same thing next year.

  463. lurker Says:

    “If you start off 8-0 but finish 8-8 do you think it’s still progress?”

    all about perspective.

    if your team was 0-16 the year before, yes, progress

    no team is perfect.

  464. Rrsrq Says:

    Well that’s what you get when you leave your playoff chances in another’s team hands

  465. , not Chris Says:

    Wow

  466. bucfancocacolagoodtimes Says:

    oh lawd LOL go for 2 you got this Panthers!!!

  467. Chris Says:

    Wow

  468. ElioT Says:

    Is Hargreaves going to post that on his Instagram?

    F**king loser.

  469. Rrsrq Says:

    Another great t.o. Call by Dirk, when Benjamin not on the field

  470. Tampa Tony Says:

    DB- you say he’s the best thing to happen to a historical bad franchise. That’s not high praise at all. I think he’s good but we gotta expect more from a #1 overall pick.

    I like him but he’s gotta drastically improve going into year 3

  471. DallasBuc Says:

    Lurker- Did I say that? No, I am just not going to sit here and call all the crap stick aspects of this team great like the lousy kicker and oline

  472. bucfancocacolagoodtimes Says:

    No team should feel good about dropping 3 in a row to end the season.

  473. DB55 Says:

    Again

  474. MadMax Says:

    Bucs Win! A winning season baby! Improvement!

  475. WeAreLost Says:

    9-7 hell yes!

  476. BucU Says:

    Expect more from the overall pick.. they had the #1 overall pick for a reason

  477. Rob Says:

    hard to enjoy a lucky win against a sorry Panther team. Go Bucs ugh that was ugly football!

  478. DallasBuc Says:

    Defense balled out after that first series

  479. Stpetebucsfan Says:

    I pronounce this a successful season. Not only the obvious development of #3 and ME and the growth of our D…but we won 3 or 4 games this year that we would have lost in any of the past ten years.

    Of course there’s still that Raiders loss to haunt us but at least we didn’t totally refuse the gift from Carolina. Let em have the higher draft pick.

    At least we know that we are capable of winning those games where we seemed snakebit. There is no way we should have won today.

  480. richbucsfan Says:

    glad panthers did not want overtime

  481. DB55 Says:

    He’s breaking ever record in front of him. 9-7 on the season not many gave him credit beyond 6-7 wins. I had him at 10-6. He never been pretty but he always wins. Period bottom line.

  482. DB55 Says:

    Now let’s see about signing K Short

  483. lurker Says:

    “hard to enjoy a lucky win against a sorry Panther team. Go Bucs ugh that was ugly football!”

    really?!?

    9-7, not last in the division. a win vs last years nfc rep

  484. bucfancocacolagoodtimes Says:

    Happy new years Buc fans!!!

  485. richbucsfan Says:

    who you talking about, DB55?

  486. Chris Says:

    We won, but horribly coached game by Koetter

  487. richbucsfan Says:

    it’s been said that any win in the NFL is a good win…ok then…this was a win
