Eliminated
December 8th, 2019
“Next year, Mr. Glazer.”
The Bucs beat the Colts and upped their record to 6-7, but the season officially is over.
Minnesota’s win today in Detroit eliminated the Bucs from postseason contention.
The Bucs would lose a potential tiebreaker to the Vikings (9-4) for the final Wild Card spot because of conference record. The Packers also have 10 wins, so the Bucs can’t catch them.
That’s 12 consecutive seasons of no playoffs for Tampa. Only Cleveland has a longer streak.,
As we say in Tampa, wait ’til next year. And the way the Bucs are playing there might actually be a next year.
Could the Bucs (6-7) close out this season at 9-7? What a stunner that would be.
Dare to dream, Bucs fans. Joe sure hopes fans are at least enjoying and appreciating how potent the Bucs offense is.

We’re kinda use to it…after all, we have Jay Miss as our QB…that Giants game still haunts me…
December 8th, 2019 at 4:33 pm
season may be over, but damn it feels good to win, by hook or by crook
December 8th, 2019 at 4:34 pm
It seems to be the only time in a season when JW get multiple wins… when there is no pressure and nothing to play for… It is a win and at least the rest of the team is looking better.
December 8th, 2019 at 4:36 pm
Good!
Loser bucs….
Bucs will always be losers as long as Winston is the QB and the GLAZERS are the owners
December 8th, 2019 at 4:37 pm
potent is not the way to describe this offense, self destructive is. Turnovers are killing this team and will print it from EVER realizing it’s potential.
December 8th, 2019 at 4:38 pm
Jameis always does this
He plays like there’s hope….. Then starts stinking it up next year…..
Same Ol song with Winston and this sorry arse team
December 8th, 2019 at 4:38 pm
Now we can play for the draft……(not)

So… why are you here commenting. While Jamies is qb go cheer for the bengals, dolphins or browns.
December 8th, 2019 at 4:40 pm
not sure if the other guys want to keep playing spoiler every year. It feels good to win but all this leaves the fans with is false hope. I believe the bus are turning around, but the weak spot on this team is still at QB. Changes must still be made if they want to take advantage of these blossoming young core.
December 8th, 2019 at 4:40 pm
Don’t care…..That was a huge win today. Was very disappointed in the lack of fundamentals to start but to overcome it was a showcase of pure resilience!!
Not the prettiest win in the world but one we can definitely build off. Can’t wait to see it unfold next week!!
GO BUCS!
December 8th, 2019 at 4:41 pm
Wait until the sheep see next year’s schedule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bucs will be eliminated from the playoffs before December next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 8th, 2019 at 4:44 pm
This is why I want a new QB. Can’t pay top dollar for inconsistent results. Better utilization of resource would be to pay D and draft a cheap QB who doesn’t turn it over.
December 8th, 2019 at 4:44 pm
Why can’t fans be mad that the team hasn’t made the playoffs in over ten years? Licht has had six. James has had five. Next!!!!
December 8th, 2019 at 4:44 pm
bucs were eliminated draft night
December 8th, 2019 at 4:45 pm
No matter how you slice it. JAMEIS WINSTON IS NOT WORTH STARTING QB MONEY!!! DEFINITELY NOT FRANCHISE MONEY. $12 million and lets see money is what he is worth. After 3 years in college and 5 years in the pros is this as good as he gets? He is what he is. He reminds me what they use to say about Nipsey Russell (basketball player). HE KEEPS BOTH TEAMS IN THE GAME!! 🙁 One cheap prove it year for Winston while the Bucs draft another QB.
December 8th, 2019 at 4:45 pm
Wow crazy game. Jameis is insane and he drives Bucs fans crazy, but happy to win today. I was never expecting to go to the playoffs, but good to see the team moving in a positive direction for a change. something to build off of. This game had both good Jameis and bad Jameis- happy there was more good Jameis today.
December 8th, 2019 at 4:46 pm
Rick … do you think Ryan griffin down 14pts and no Evans was going to win the game ?
Qb is not the weakest link. The RB and secondary are. But today even Winston throwing int the defense stepped up when needed. So build the defense specially safety and running game and Winston will be fine.
December 8th, 2019 at 4:46 pm
Three in a row feels good. I’ll take any victory cause fans got their money’s worth. Close entertaining game although Jameis did his usual “I’ll throw passes to anybody.” Somebody needs to tell him what color uniform we are wearing. Still good win now get three more.
December 8th, 2019 at 4:47 pm
@ SteveK
Cause most Bucs fans are really stupid.
They think just because you win games that it’s good enough but they don’t see the OVERALL big picture.
Next year when the same crap repeats itself they’ll come up with even more excuses for either the players or the crappy Owners this Franchise has.
December 8th, 2019 at 4:48 pm
Yeah WooHoo! …Winston can score for EVERYONE!!!
December 8th, 2019 at 4:49 pm
Anthem,
You just proved your own point. You were asked why you are here. You answered, “Cause most Bucs fans are stupid.” Now can you just STFU?
December 8th, 2019 at 4:52 pm
If we’d played a top ten defense we would’ve been history today
December 8th, 2019 at 4:52 pm
Meaningful games in December. That happened this year somehow. It’s not a bad start for this regime. Definite improvement has happened across the board.
Arrow up, as Joel said.
December 8th, 2019 at 4:53 pm
Hopefully our defense won’t be dead last for the first half of next season. If they can be average we’ll have a great shot at the playoffs
December 8th, 2019 at 4:57 pm
Agree on the picks. First two were really ugly, third bad luck on a tip. My wife couldn’t take it any more and went outside to putter in the yard. But you know, he did bring them back, and win. Not everyone can do stuff like that. And his deep ball accuracy is really good now. Offer a two-three year contract tied to incentives, particularly turnovers/wins. The way it is around the league, noone will give him a multi year $100 million contract. The CBS crew were laughing at him after the game.
But we now know that Ryan Griffin is not the answer.
December 8th, 2019 at 5:03 pm
Same dumb false hope for the ignorant base of fans year after year. We barely beat a team that has the most injuries to starters than any team in the league. We win by 21 if JW is not the starter.
December 8th, 2019 at 5:05 pm
Mort
Playoff games are meaningful sir not meaningless wins against teams fighting for 500 during another failed season
December 8th, 2019 at 5:12 pm
Lol now we only won cuz the had injuries. You guys are pathetic and terrible fans lol.
Sign famous, our future. Hopefully the fake fans will disappear.
December 8th, 2019 at 5:14 pm
Tax…..meaningless is nothing less then opinion. Don’t never forget that
December 8th, 2019 at 5:15 pm
At least the Bucs won today! WOO

Dude your entitled to low standards…. beat good teams consistently then you can spout off
December 8th, 2019 at 5:28 pm
Is this news? We’ve had the league leader in turnovers for 5 straight years by a wide margin….You can’t consistently win in the NFL with turnovers at the pace Winston produces them. We got away with one today….that’s called a statistical outlier. The collective body of data/work shows that approach has overwhelmingly worked against us.
The real question is what does this team look like if the defense is playing at an elite level? Then what are the expectations when your QB constantly turns the ball over….giving away games? That’s the comical part to all of this discussion is Winston is going to change because the defense plays better, we’ll then be a 9-7 team hoping to inch our way into the playoffs due to superior defensive play with the no topic being how good could we be with a competent QB.
December 8th, 2019 at 5:38 pm
Bucs won.
Saints Lost.
It was a great day!
8-8 is realistic 9-7 is going to make this season a success……..in August all I said was for Tampa to be competitive and respectable. We can with 2-3 I will be happy.
I don’t see us beating Houston even if we played like we did today
December 8th, 2019 at 5:53 pm
With Jason Licht as GM it’s a minor miracle the Bucs have won a game at all.
December 8th, 2019 at 6:01 pm
The season was over on Columbus Day. Another year of embarrassment in the books.
December 8th, 2019 at 6:06 pm
Troll Smacker is my new favorite poster.
December 8th, 2019 at 6:52 pm
You’re right for once Jameis Almighty! By the way, who drafted Jay Miss?
BOOM!
December 8th, 2019 at 6:55 pm
LOL This season was over a month ago. You can always tell when the Bucs are out of contention because Winston starts playing better. Still not good enough to earn a contract as a franchise QB, but better. One less INT by Winston here or there, and they’d be 8-5 if not 94. Thanks Winston.
December 8th, 2019 at 7:11 pm
Haters don’t have an excuse anymore. Just love your qb. You don’t have a choice now…sorry. Lol!!! Merry Christmas
December 8th, 2019 at 7:17 pm
Where is the smoke for Gay… he makes me sweat 10X more than Jameis… his kicks are crooked and rarely true. Next year hopefully our kicker won’t be Gay.
December 8th, 2019 at 7:55 pm
No quit in these bucs! They may not be the best but play hard all game. No slackers.
December 8th, 2019 at 8:27 pm
Realist
This team doesn’t make excuses….screw the schedule…
You singing a different tune now chump
GO BUCS
December 8th, 2019 at 9:30 pm
The Winston knob gobblers will be singing and dancing because they are all a bunch of losers like Winston.
LOSERS.
December 9th, 2019 at 2:13 am
Jameis going to be extended and all of you trolls going to be fan boys in no time lol 😂
December 9th, 2019 at 7:34 am
Ok, we are eliminated, but we took the Colt’s with us. We more or less ended their season too, as payback for what they did to us here in Tampa once.
Does anyone remember that 44 point comeback, when Tony Dungy coached them ?
