So I’d guess Trask will play 3 quarters, I’ll take that over Mayfield taking worthless snaps and pulling Trask early.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:35 pm
Godwin and Evans out?
Yeah…fair competition…
August 19th, 2023 at 7:37 pm
Evans and Godwin were out last week as well.
The preseason games don’t actually mean anything.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:38 pm
Any bets on 1st play? Will the go 3 ana punt?
August 19th, 2023 at 7:38 pm
they were out g1 too tho.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:38 pm
They didn’t play in the first preseason game either
August 19th, 2023 at 7:38 pm
Godwin and Evans were both out last game, too. No affect on the competition.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:39 pm
A big play taken away by a flag… Real shocker.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:39 pm
And they kept this special teams coach…
August 19th, 2023 at 7:39 pm
Trask is going to let it fly tonight. He has to if he wants to have a chance. If he turtles up he’ll be the backup. It is really no risk it no biscuit time tonight for Trask.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:39 pm
LOL 1st play holding calls back good return plus thuggin.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:39 pm
What is that pus-y call? God damn women are ruining football.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:40 pm
Todd Bowles lead teams are undisciplined! Typical Start wiping out a big play. Great play call on 1st down!
August 19th, 2023 at 7:40 pm
Why do we continue to employ a failed ST coach? Is it nepotism or abject incompetence by the leadership?
August 19th, 2023 at 7:40 pm
You got to be kidding me
August 19th, 2023 at 7:41 pm
Hey look at that, on 3rd down, Trask threw to get a 1st down, and didn’t just dump off the ball to help his stats.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:42 pm
OUR OFFENSIVE LINE IS ABYSMAL
August 19th, 2023 at 7:42 pm
Ooof. #60.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:42 pm
Levereet joke
August 19th, 2023 at 7:42 pm
Can run at all
August 19th, 2023 at 7:43 pm
Damn, Otton with the effort!
August 19th, 2023 at 7:43 pm
Moore drops perfect throw.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:43 pm
This team can’t run. They better start turning into a passing team. Cause from what I have seen their identity won’t be running.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:44 pm
Let’s beat them tonight! And let’s beat them again in February!
August 19th, 2023 at 7:44 pm
Uggh line sucks.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:45 pm
Jameis Trask
August 19th, 2023 at 7:45 pm
dropped an easy first.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:45 pm
Trask has looked good so far.
Moore dropping that easy 1st down killed the drive.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:47 pm
Moore can hit the waiver wire if he’s going to drop those. Nothing infuriates me more. Good to see otton hold onto his 2.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:47 pm
That wasn’t too bad. The online is horrid…but somehow, we moved the ball.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:47 pm
The Bucs have a punter that runs a 4.5 40… use that Bowles. Run a fake punt in the preseason, put it on tape, make other teams have to spend time defending something you’re never going to run anyways.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:47 pm
Trask looks good, fast release and accurate. O line is a total disgrace. Leverett got blown up. Sneak was caught deep in the backfield again due to O line. These guys are slow and weak.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:48 pm
Our O-line is garbage.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:48 pm
Otton has to redeemed himself with the effort shown thus far.
Leverett is going to have a hard time winning center if he can’t control his gap.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:48 pm
i hope ko doesn’t drop any tonight, i like him and want balls to go his way more.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:48 pm
Running the ball will improve with time. Remember, starters are out.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:49 pm
Jason better be looking for OLine help at cut down. These guys are not good.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:49 pm
Being pushed that far back and the Jets D line getting that much penetration, Trask did a great job on that first drive. It could have continued had Moore caught that ball.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:49 pm
Looked like #60 Leverett got pushed around on two occasions… both runs….. knocked back like 4-6 feet
August 19th, 2023 at 7:49 pm
So far Trask looks solid.
Dave Moore dropped a pass and ruined a first down opportunity…
Otton looks solid. Gained two first downs.
Our run game still looks weak and ineffective. Which is NOT GOOD…
August 19th, 2023 at 7:49 pm
Zach Wilson…pick six! I’m calling it now.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:49 pm
I don’t understand why coaches go so conservative in the preseason. You should run all sorts of garbage trick plays, put everything on tape, make teams every week have to defend stuff you’ll never actually use. Instead coaches just waste these games and do nothing interesting, say nothing interesting, make these games more worthless by the year.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:50 pm
Their up the guts works…ours not.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:50 pm
todd bowles and keith armstrongs jobs should already be on the chopping block.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:50 pm
I like how the Bills play their first team offense and defense, but the Bucs are too good to do anything like that.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:51 pm
Leverett was absolutely horrific the first drive. I fear Oline is going to be our downfall again this year.
Watch Jensen not play a game this year…. F*king around not getting surgery IMO
August 19th, 2023 at 7:53 pm
Our punter is so much better than every other punter
August 19th, 2023 at 7:53 pm
Britt makes play.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:53 pm
BTW, on a different note, the Jets uniforms have to be some of the worst in the league. A super ugly shade of green, those new trendy awful looking white strips on the jersey, the hideous green helmet. Just awful. Their classic uniforms aren’t good either, but they’re better than this trash.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:54 pm
Hall has been very ordinary so far so I hope he shows more as the game goes on.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:55 pm
At least our franchise didn’t think Zach Wilson was a good idea…making life easy for the defense
August 19th, 2023 at 7:55 pm
Logan hall is a bust. No way the d line gonna be good if he starts over gholston
August 19th, 2023 at 7:55 pm
The NFL+ site is trash
August 19th, 2023 at 7:56 pm
#1 defense in the league looking stout tonight. Bucs will shut out the Jets tonight.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:56 pm
Just go to the Bucs site, they got the feed there.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:56 pm
Put Ronnie Brown in there instead of this stiff Tucker.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:57 pm
offensive line is absolutely horrendous.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:57 pm
Remember in Preseason when Fans got to see starters at least for one series
These teams charging fans for a practice
August 19th, 2023 at 7:57 pm
Lame play
August 19th, 2023 at 7:57 pm
Step up in the pocket!!!
August 19th, 2023 at 7:57 pm
Phew line stinks.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:57 pm
Left side got bull rushed and collapsed. Wow what a bunch of ass clowns.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:58 pm
Cue the oline excuses. They will persist throughout the season as everyone else imaginable will be scapegoated.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:58 pm
Bucs should have more than one punter on the team so they don’t wear out Camarda’s leg. The guy had 6 punts last week, going to have at least 6 more this week.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:58 pm
What special teams. Good thing we have Armstrong coaching.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:59 pm
KEITH ARMSTRONG ABYSMAL SPECIAL TEAMS ON DISPLAY!
August 19th, 2023 at 7:59 pm
Wow
Tough Year Fans
Yes I know it’s preseason but Damn they look horrible
August 19th, 2023 at 7:59 pm
OL has to coordinate better against overload blitzes but Trask has to recognize this and step up to avoid pre snap.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:59 pm
Anyone watching on the Bucs app or website?
August 19th, 2023 at 7:59 pm
Well our run game looks good. And I love the -3 yard pass. Maybe we should practice more in the heat. GO BUCS
August 19th, 2023 at 7:59 pm
This is like a mix of the 2nd and 3rd team offensive line. Calm down drama queen.
August 19th, 2023 at 7:59 pm
Armstrong sucks lol.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:00 pm
@ Rod
Lol…
Ronnie Brown will get his chance.
But not until late in the 3rd qtr…
August 19th, 2023 at 8:00 pm
Yikes. Oline looking Baaaaaaaad
August 19th, 2023 at 8:00 pm
Whats that smell?? Is it a dead skunk on Dale Mabry?
August 19th, 2023 at 8:00 pm
This preseason oline is awful.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:00 pm
Whyyyyy? Is Keith Armstrong still our special teams coach? Year after year, our punt return coverage and kick off return has been bad or terrible….
August 19th, 2023 at 8:00 pm
We are the best fanbase in all of sports. But in order to stay that we way we got to stay positive and post good things. I do not like these negative posts. cmon guys we can do better!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:00 pm
no protection
August 19th, 2023 at 8:01 pm
I’m I the only one that Doesn’t Like the Creamsicle
August 19th, 2023 at 8:01 pm
Run D looking crisp, good sign even if it’s backups
August 19th, 2023 at 8:01 pm
Creamsicle day! Not using the orange throwbacks on MNF, no, a random Monday in August they do some stupid theme crap.
That’s the stupid stuff you get when you put a woman in charge of marketing.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:02 pm
Bucs can’t run.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:02 pm
Trask egged down to Tucker instead of letting it rip. Yes, there was a safety out there to deal with, but those are the types of plays Trask needs to make tonight not have a chance.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:03 pm
Am I the only one who doesn’t like the creamsicle
August 19th, 2023 at 8:04 pm
Moderate
August 19th, 2023 at 8:04 pm
Zyon, a perfect 10 RAS score. Ridiculously athletic, but green. If he develops, he’ll be a superstar. But will take time.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:05 pm
It hurts watching Logan hall try to play football
August 19th, 2023 at 8:05 pm
What was that defense???? A Bowles special?
August 19th, 2023 at 8:05 pm
Bucs edge rushers were tackled. Where are the flags?
August 19th, 2023 at 8:05 pm
I kee rewinding each play on bucs website he’s getting pushed around
August 19th, 2023 at 8:06 pm
Good open field tackle by Zyon.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:06 pm
Hall has been underwhelming so far.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:07 pm
Delaney is having a good game so far.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:07 pm
Britt has been flying all over the place
August 19th, 2023 at 8:08 pm
Go for it!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:08 pm
🥱
August 19th, 2023 at 8:08 pm
Delaney and Britt are probably the best tacklers on the field and it shows.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:09 pm
Delaney is just too slow, on the tackle at the sideline, the guy ran right by him but had to stop from running out of bounds. Wasn’t a good play, was saved by the sideline – which is fine if it was by design, but it wasn’t.
Delaney is a waste of roster space. I’d cut him at halftime if it was my choice. If you can’t run, you can’t play corner.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:09 pm
I cant watch 10 minutes of this mess. I never see Bowles coach. This what crap drafts gets you. I’ve said it before don’t get cute in drafts. In most selections best player available. Just watch college football and learn about their character. We have a lot of holes to fill.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
Trask is the new Captain check down! Mike Glennon all over again
August 19th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
Well at least it looks like football sort of. Better than off season.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
Looks like last year two runs for -1 yards and many 3 rd and 11s . Fire Todd Bowles he is a Loser!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:10 pm
Delaney and Britt are also too slow to play in the NFL. Delaney seems like a smart guy, but is always at least a step behind – you can tell he knows where he’s supposed to be, but just can’t get there. Britt, also, too slow to play – but is fine as a special teams guy, which is the only reason he should stick around.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:11 pm
Bowles makes his team Look good
Whoops sorry misspelled team I meant EXTEAM
August 19th, 2023 at 8:11 pm
Pewter Power: Logan Hall will be remembered for knock Jensen out of the 2022 season, given the reports from the Joes, maybe Hall ended his career. That is the only thing of note that he has done for the Bucs besides underachieving. I will call it, he is a bust, right up there with Aguayo and VH3.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:12 pm
I’d like to see somebody on defense create some pressure… Geez
August 19th, 2023 at 8:12 pm
Bowles makes the Jets look good finally
August 19th, 2023 at 8:12 pm
It is amazing how this team doesn’t feel like it has any hope, any future, and it’s not just the QB. If Arians was on the sideline, you have some hope. But with Bowles there, you just know there is no hope, and you’re just biding time until he gets fired.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:12 pm
Trask has avoided a couple sacks by himself.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:13 pm
Not much to get excited about at the moment
August 19th, 2023 at 8:13 pm
We’ll be lucky if Hall is anything more than a liability this year. Folds like a lawn chair in the run game and zero power as a rusher. (reminds me of his teammate at OLB – JTS. This strategy of drafting one-dimensional, lean, mobile athletes along the lines isn’t working, Licht.)
August 19th, 2023 at 8:13 pm
I don’t think Hall is strong enough to play inside
August 19th, 2023 at 8:14 pm
Hall plays patty cake and isn’t imposing his will with his frame.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:14 pm
I would rather see Jenn Sterger.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:15 pm
stay positive guys. no bashing go bucs!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:15 pm
What a play.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:15 pm
Brady would have thrown that into the dirt…in frustration.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:15 pm
Bowles should have played the vets for a few series so Trask actually had a chance to move the ball. Instead he is stuck behind losers. How can any QB, unless there are a lot of RPO plays, operate under these conditions?
August 19th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
Canales playbook looks awful so far.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
The week one starter ar quarterback is chillin on the bench. 6 completions for 35 yards won’t cut it
August 19th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
Hall is a classic 4-3 DE, not a 3-4 DE.
Sort of how JTS should be a 4-3 DE and not a 3-4 OLB.
Maybe the new coach next year will change schemes.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
Thompkins ugh
August 19th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
They called that sack a fumble???? That was clearly incomplete!!!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
More drops good throws.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
Dang, good throw by Trask, two big drops for 1st downs tonight.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
is it me or is carmada bad so far this preseason?
August 19th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
Thompkins…gotta catch that.
Yuck
August 19th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
Thompkins has to make that catch.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
100% unwatchable
August 19th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
Can’t blame Trask for that third down play, Thompkins should have made that one.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
Leverett is SOO bad in the running game. Consistently gets pushed BACK 3-5 yards
August 19th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
See, Camarda’s leg is nearly spent and we’re only in the 2nd quarter of the 2nd preseason game. Thanks Todd.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
The play being called are brutal..
August 19th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
Zero pocket protection.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
Leverett has no business playing center.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
It’s preseason just chill they have to look at everyone but there’s still no protection. We may need four QB’s if they keep getting hit like this.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:18 pm
shak Says:
August 19th, 2023 at 8:16 pm
is it me or is carmada bad so far this preseason?
——-
It’s literally just you. He averaged 48 yards last week with 3 inside the 20, and had two more today already. That’s literally his first punt of the preseason that wasn’t fantastic.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:18 pm
We are a bad, bad team – backups or not – two bad drops making Kyle look bad –
Leverett can’t play C – put him back at G – Walton is on skates
It looks worse than Byron on O – same pathetic special teams
Because the HC is Todd, period
Expect the same when the starters come in
August 19th, 2023 at 8:19 pm
Isaac should make the team as he is fast enough to play boundary CB but need to work on his tackling like Zyon.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:19 pm
This game is unwatchable. Brought to you by the Bucs dynamic leader. Coach ‘‘em” up on the sidelines Todd…. Lol.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:19 pm
Going to be a long season, shoulda blew it up in the off season. Wonder who the new coaches will be? House will be cleaned imo
August 19th, 2023 at 8:19 pm
Pewter Power Says:
August 19th, 2023 at 8:16 pm

Dude, are you even watching the kind of play around Trask? What else is he supposed to do on a play action and has a free rusher right in his face?
Two huge drops for first downs don’t help either.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:19 pm
THis is just bench players. 12/13 win team with starters in.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:19 pm
All_da_way Says:
August 19th, 2023 at 8:17 pm
Leverett has no business playing center.
———
I assume they’re just giving him snaps in case of an emergency. That is what you should be doing in the preseason. He’s a guard, and going to center is a big deal.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:20 pm
Bucs backup line is getting manhandled by Jets 1st string D.
This is a great way to evaluate the QB battle. Sigh.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:20 pm
BUCS GET THE BALL BACK
August 19th, 2023 at 8:21 pm
Nelson has abused the Jets in practice and now this game.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:21 pm
Wow, that fumble stands? I thought for sure it would get overturned. Awesome.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:21 pm
Nelson makes another play.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:22 pm
Heck yes
August 19th, 2023 at 8:22 pm
Nice run by Trask, there’s your running game!
PUT IN RONNIE BROWN!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:22 pm
How dare they play Welcome to the Jungle!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:23 pm
Wow, the offense works when you don’t telegraph the run up the middle and waste 1st down.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:23 pm
How crap, I think there’s been more playaction passes in this game than we saw last season under that idiot Leftwich.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
Trask is looking very good,IMO, especially with a mix and match group of players
August 19th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
Stop the interview
August 19th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
The play calls are better now as they are more varied.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
On the plus side, I think Mauch is having a really good game. He’s not need int any help; playing smart and very mobile.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
I think Trask looks better with the hurry up offense.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
MY GAWD
Another playaction pass!
Leftwich has to be watching this wondering what these plays are called.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
WHAT was that run?
August 19th, 2023 at 8:25 pm
I understand the problems with the o-line, but Vaughn is not having a good preseason.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:26 pm
If you watch the game, and don’t look at the stat sheet, you’d think Trask is having a good night.
Too bad for him most idiots just look at the stat sheet, and the stats will give cowarderly Bowles cover to start Mayfield.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:27 pm
Trask 1st score?
August 19th, 2023 at 8:27 pm
championship response from a championship team. way to go Bucs!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:27 pm
I love Blankenship. I’m shocked that he doesn’t have a sunburn by now.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:27 pm
Mother of God….play calling. Todd Bowles is NOT a good head coach. Thanks a bunch Bruce. I can’t imagine this turning around with this coaching staff. It will be interesting to see how the supposed Brady culture change lasts. My guess is if the Glazers change the coaching staff out for some type of “splash” acquisition after this season. Lincoln Riley anyone?
Also, anyone taking note of the body language going in and out of the huddle? FFS.
Mental defeat can always be laid directly at the feet of the head coach.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:28 pm
Receivers are not getting much separation and dropping passes when they do.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:29 pm
Once the starting leftside of the OL is back in the lineup the running game should be better.
Goedeke hasn’t been an issue tonight and Mauch is actually looking competent.
If I am Licht and you know Jenkins can go in the regular season you better make a trade for a center if Hainsey is starting. As versatile as Leverett is at OT or OG he is struggling as a center.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:29 pm
Bowles needs to be gone next year and replaced with an offensive coach.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:30 pm
Trask leads the team in rushing.
That’s not good.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:30 pm
come on zion baby
August 19th, 2023 at 8:31 pm
Was that another dropped pass at the goal line? Haven’t seen a replay.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:32 pm
Making Zach Wilson look like vintage Michael Vick. What are we doing her!!!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:32 pm
The defense should be ashamed.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:32 pm
For all of Zyon’s speed how do receivers always have so much separation on him
August 19th, 2023 at 8:32 pm
What Bucsfan81 said.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:32 pm
Zion is trash and im tired of seeing bowles with his hands crossed everytime on the sidelines zach wilson just burned us on a run
August 19th, 2023 at 8:33 pm
Plan 9 should be out there instead of Nelson.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:33 pm
Nelson is always in position to make a play. He should be starting at this rate.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:33 pm
I will say it again
Bowles coaching style shows up in the SLOPPY PLAY
Don’t give me the oh well it’s 2nd string
They can’t tackle
Sloppy play
Jets are playing their 2nd team also
August 19th, 2023 at 8:34 pm
OK I’m embarrassed.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:35 pm
Baker going in now?
August 19th, 2023 at 8:35 pm
we need a TD to give the team a boost.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:35 pm
Trask leads the team in rushing with a 4.5 yard average LMAO.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:35 pm
Well Zion is a green player, but on that play, they didn’t show what happened, if he got rubbed or just got beat clean. Ronde isn’t a fan of Zion, which is concerning, since Ronde is a good talent evaluator on defense.
What I don’t get is why he plays so far off the LOS. Is that the player doing that by themselves? I wouldn’t think so, I’d think they do whatever the coaches tell them to do, and if they’re too far off the coaches would be telling them to tighten things up. I wish Ronde would explain that in more detail if that’s wrong.
Still, just get Zion reps, let him keep playing — just don’t count on him being the nickel or anything, he’s very much a long term development player.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:36 pm
Toilet Bowles still clueless…..I thought he was a defensive genius ? LOL !!!!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:37 pm
Ronde has said that Zyon gives too much of a cushion in bump n run.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:38 pm
Poll question doesn’t have none of the above.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:38 pm
we’re a running team!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:39 pm
I’m a Bucs fan and want the best QB leading our team but Trask just can’t cut it. Bottom line he can’t get the ball in the end zone! Enough of this nonsense!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:39 pm
Where’s Trey Palmer? Get him the ball coaches!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:39 pm
Run in to brick wall again.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:39 pm
lol
August 19th, 2023 at 8:40 pm
trask needs to go there sooner
August 19th, 2023 at 8:40 pm
Nother run for none.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:40 pm
They simply cannot run the ball
August 19th, 2023 at 8:40 pm
Do we have to keep seeing this stiff, Tucker?
Put Ronnie in already.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:40 pm
Listen folks if there was a competent qb in there we’d be up big in this meaningless game.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:40 pm
It’s almost like you can’t run an offense with no Oline and no run game. But keep blaming Leftwhich and watch this offense suck.
Punt punt punt punt.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:41 pm
This is a perfect reason that the Bucs have to a vertical game. The defense knows that the Bucs won’t go deep.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:41 pm
Wasted plays running.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:41 pm
Good 2nd effort by Tucker on swing pass.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:41 pm
Its COACHING dont matter if its only preseason or 2nd 3rd stringers i wathed the jaguars and dolphins dominate today and the ravens have won 23 straight preseason games COACHING matters bowles is a loser and horrible coach thanks bruce arians!!!!!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:42 pm
This is definitely a Bowles offense
August 19th, 2023 at 8:42 pm
Go for it. Lol.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:42 pm
Good caught the mistake.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:43 pm
Ronnie would have got a TD there.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:43 pm
There’s a run!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:43 pm
Tucker looking good.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:43 pm
Tucker should move up the depth chart IMO. Lots of upside.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:44 pm
Rod Munch, We get it. You pleasure yourself to Ronnie Brown.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:44 pm
Palmer is a starter now he ain’t playin
August 19th, 2023 at 8:44 pm
Like way he bounced out.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:44 pm
My early thoughts:
– Tucker should be ahead of the depth chart vs Vaughn. I’m not sure Vaughn should make the cut.
– Mauch looked VERY competent. I already feel much ch more comfortable at RG than a week ago.
– Logan Hall plays weak and timid. If he weren’t the top pick in the 2nd round, Bucs brass wouldn’t think twice of cutting him.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:45 pm
I like the fact they went for it there.
But in the regular season, they’re punting 100 out of 100 times in that situation.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:45 pm
Lol Rod with the Ronnie love, you’d think he’s got a vested interest
August 19th, 2023 at 8:46 pm
Dammit arian couldve just coached from the booth if his health was the reason he retired i think it was a bs excuse because he said if tom retired he woulda stay around hold down the fort but since tom came back he said he wanted too give bowles and leftwich a chance with good team smh what a bum who cares if there you boys i cant beleive licht alowed this srry for bringing up old things but im still bitter about how we wasted bradys last season
August 19th, 2023 at 8:46 pm
palmer a goat lol
August 19th, 2023 at 8:47 pm
That stat can’t be right. Tucker ran for 3800 yards in college and only had 4 TDs?
August 19th, 2023 at 8:47 pm
JK Palmer is playing!!!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:47 pm
EAT IT HATERS
August 19th, 2023 at 8:47 pm
Hot Dog perfect throw.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:47 pm
10 is the 3rd receiver opening day.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:47 pm
Meh lucky he tipped it too palmer almost picked offf lol
August 19th, 2023 at 8:47 pm
NICE! Put the ball up, let you guys make a play.
Barber has looked really good so far.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:47 pm
Palmer is just straight up a baller.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:48 pm
Looks like a good trade up in the draft to get Palmer.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:48 pm
TRASK 5 OF 5 ON THAT DRIVE
August 19th, 2023 at 8:48 pm
Palmer better make this team. Dude has had 2 good pre season games and with the way our WR get injured he could be useful.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:48 pm
Based on the evaluations last week we have a new starting QB.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:48 pm
IrishTony Says: “Trask just can’t cut it. Bottom line he can’t get the ball in the end zone!”
Suck on that you Trask hater! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
Buy palmer a Rolex, that was a Hail Mary type throw and he made you look good trask
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
I think it might be a year early for Trask but I could see him rounding into fierce competition for next year assuming Baker flames out
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
Great effort by Tucker. That’s literally the only thing that’s happened positive in this entire half. And the fumble recovery.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
They should let Trask play through the 3rd quarter, I don’t need to see Wolford until the 4th.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
I like our young depth at WR
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
Palmer is a baller.
10 different receivers caught passes tonight from Trask.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
Hey Irish Tony you’ve been hating on Trask for weeks. Suck on that TD!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
I think Palmer has moved ahead of Thompkins on the depth chart. He is simply more dynamic downfield. Palmer definitely needs to work on his run blocking though.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
But, Trask can’t throw the deep ball.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
Great throw….. better catch!!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
BUCS95…Palmer tipped it to himself. Good throw…great catch
August 19th, 2023 at 8:50 pm
Let’s freaking Gooooooooo!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:50 pm
BIG PLAY TREY!!!!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:50 pm
This might be our only win before the bye week…
August 19th, 2023 at 8:50 pm
Trey is a bad dude. Wow.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:51 pm
The Bucs will pull Trask now because he’s looking better than the short fat Mayfield.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:52 pm
All_da_way Says:
August 19th, 2023 at 8:49 pm
I think Palmer has moved ahead of Thompkins on the depth chart.
———-
Thompkins is literally 5′ 6 7/8″ and weights 150pounds. I love Thompkins, was the only one here talking about hims last preseason – but he shouldn’t be a #3 WR, he’s just too small. But as a returner and gadget player and perhaps a #4 or #5, I like him a ton. But Palmer has NFL size and speed, is a more natural #3 if he can pull it off against real NFL players, not just future Wendy’s employees.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:52 pm
Lets go Trask!
August 19th, 2023 at 8:53 pm
When I saw that clip with Jets practice of Palmer smoking Sauce deep, I thought Trey had potential. Glad to see him put it on tape. The boy is fast. And can catch, unlike Scooter, LOL.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:53 pm
Thompkins having a rough one
August 19th, 2023 at 8:54 pm
This has been offensive play calling and it seems to be fitting for Trask to build a little comfort on the field.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:54 pm
What idiot in marketing decided that they’ll call season tickets, season passes? Idiots. Probably another move by the genius woman they brought in from Adidas.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:55 pm
Drop and holding.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:55 pm
Far as I’m concerned, Trask should start Game 1. He’s very good with the intermediate & deep throws, which is exactly what Mike Evans & Chris Godwin need to be able to maximize their talents. Baker is probably better at the dink-and-dunk, but I’m convinced that without a respectable rushing attack the dink-and-dunk won’t be enough to score consistently. And it’s obvious after tonight that our run game needs a LOT of work, starting with the OLine.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:56 pm
Why run there?
August 19th, 2023 at 8:56 pm
Bowles is literally running out the clock on 2nd down. What a loser.
Also Ronnie would have picked up 15 on that play.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:57 pm
HC Grover Says:
August 19th, 2023 at 8:56 pm
Why run there?

Why did Bowles run the ball at the end of the game vs the Browns?
Because he’s a loser.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:57 pm
Haven’t heard Goedekes name
August 19th, 2023 at 8:57 pm
Mayfield can throw the deep ball. The problem is that he can make big plays downfield but he can also make many mistakes downfield as he fails to identify the high safety pre snap.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:57 pm
Perfect throw?? HA! That deep ball was literally tipped off the DBs hands. Trask short armed that.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:57 pm
Tucker can’t get the first down.
Pitiful.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:58 pm
Tucker kicks.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:59 pm
These guys are clowns dropping these passes
August 19th, 2023 at 8:59 pm
Geiger butterfingers.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:59 pm
Lots of drops by Geiger
August 19th, 2023 at 8:59 pm
Geiger is dropping too many passes in pre season. Lets see Jarrett.
August 19th, 2023 at 8:59 pm
Moore stopped running
August 19th, 2023 at 9:01 pm
IS anybody counting how many well placed passes have been dropped tonight from Trask?
I’ve counted what…. 5 or 6?

Looked to me like Trask is starting to get a rhythm.
16/23 122 1 TD – not bad for a first half with these players against this defense.
This is why this guy needs reps.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:03 pm
Trask’s ball placement has been pretty good.
Otton, Tucker and Palmer looked competent out there.
Defensively there were some good open field tackles but there were some break downs when Wilson was scrambling.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:03 pm
Bucsfantim too many dropped passes.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:03 pm
Rod Munch …
What would the score be if Ron Brown was in the game?
What if he played offense and defense?
August 19th, 2023 at 9:04 pm
Hall was invisible out there and is in danger of being out played by undrafted DL.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:04 pm
Trask had a really good half. Didn’t have any bad passes, was let down by receivers dropping the ball.
What I like most about Trask is that, unlike his first two preseasons, he actually looks like an NFL QB. He’s not lofting the ball, throwing cupcake passes, has good enough velocity, and doesn’t seem to lose it when under pressure. Last year, under pressure, he’d go back to those college hanging rainbow passes, and this year we don’t se that.
Big progress by Trask from prior years.
Such a shame the competition is a sham and we’re going to be subjected to 8-weeks of Baker being awful before they finally pull the plug on him.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:05 pm
Goedeke and Mauch as a right side combo are actually starting to look NFL average out there.

Are you kidding? If he was out there on every play, including special teams… well I could joke around and say it’d be 45-0 right now, but in reality, I’d say 31-0.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:07 pm
Better this week than last, some good, some bad.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:09 pm
I think Trask has closed the gap with his play so far. Lets see what Mayfield can do.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:11 pm
Bucsfantim Says: “Is anybody counting how many well placed passes have been dropped tonight from Trask?”
At least 5 or 6. Is Trask throwing to hard for these boys? Or are these boys hearing footsteps?
August 19th, 2023 at 9:12 pm
I think I’ll do volunteer work Sunday afternoons. At least I’ll feel much better than watching the Bucs lose
August 19th, 2023 at 9:13 pm
Please, show just one more Karen Rodgers facial expression!
August 19th, 2023 at 9:13 pm
I was looking at a Jets blog and some idiot says,
“every other team in the league is playing their 1s in pre season except the Jets idk why they’re acting like they won the super bowl last year”
Does he think the Bucs are playing their starters? Typical clueless yankee trash.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:14 pm
This is hilarious to watch the overeactions to Trask playing a half of Mike Glennon checkdown football with an underthrown TD pass.
10 points!
August 19th, 2023 at 9:16 pm
Hey, it’s Ken O’Brien!
August 19th, 2023 at 9:17 pm
Looks like Traskerfield will be plug and play in this offense. We are likely to see both unless Baker goes all world.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:17 pm
Weird defensive set.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:17 pm
No trask didn’t close the gap Trask fanboys. He’s a quarterback it was a great play but baker had one of those last week too and looked just as comfortable.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:18 pm
Watts is blazing fast.

August 19th, 2023 at 9:20 pm
The Jets jersey doesn’t even match the helmet.
Nike is the most incompetent company on earth. We get robbed of Brady wearing the Bucco Bruce jersey because those idiots claim they can’t make orange uniforms because of the pandemic until 2023 – because I guess there’s a shortage of orange thread? Then the ugly Jets uniforms don’t even match.
The NFL needs to opt out of this deal immediately.
Also, never forget, it was the morons at Nike that subjected us to the alarm clock uniforms. Then the Glazers had to bring the old Reebok uniforms to Nike and tell them just to copy that so we could end that era.

August 19th, 2023 at 9:21 pm
all these guys are going home. terrible.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:22 pm
Yeah, Trask was ok, but his TD pass should have been knocked down and was almost intercepted.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:22 pm
You Mayfield haters crack me up.
Trask played 6 series and scored 1 TD with (7.62) yards per pass and he’s GOD.
Last week Mayfield played 4 series and scored 1 TD with (7.87) yards per pass and he’s the dink and dunk king because his 7.87 was too low.
So Trask played 50% more series, had a lower average yards per pass and scored the exact same amount of TD’s as Mayfield. By George you’re right, he is a GOD!
August 19th, 2023 at 9:22 pm
Wow these scrubs stink.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:22 pm
Greg Gaines is still out there?
Delaney gives up another big play, again, too slow to play.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:24 pm
Looked like a pick, like it came off Delaney’s foot and didn’t hit the ground.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:25 pm
What? did ball hit ground?
August 19th, 2023 at 9:25 pm
I hope that we won’t get jobbed by the refs, just like we did with Bert Emmanuel.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:25 pm
Don’t tell me…
I’m going to tell you.
Mayfield has 69 career starts.
Trask has 0
Trask is playing on the road against a tougher defense.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:26 pm
If it’s an interception (and it is), where do you place the ball? The refs mistakenly whistled the play dead.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:27 pm
starters (baker) didn’t play, all we need to know.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:27 pm
No Baker?
August 19th, 2023 at 9:27 pm
Wolford already showing more arm strength then Trask did
August 19th, 2023 at 9:27 pm
Trask looked good, he’s the guy with upside, Mayfield has thrown more interceptions than any QB in football since he’s been in the NFL. Trask is unknown, we know who Mayfield is.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:27 pm
Why is Laird out there wasting downs? That guy stinks, has no future in the NFL. Get him off the field.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:28 pm
Where is Baker?
August 19th, 2023 at 9:28 pm
Bowles afraid to let Mayfield get shown up by Trask. What a kook.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:28 pm
Jarrett made a good sideline catch.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:28 pm
So Baker is the starter.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:29 pm
Take the under.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:29 pm

August 19th, 2023 at 9:29 pm
IF Baker isn’t out there then that isn’t a competition.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:29 pm
Wow good throw woolford maybe you should be the day one starter😏
August 19th, 2023 at 9:30 pm
I love it! That QB has poise.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:30 pm
Welp. The whole QB competition has been a lie folks. Wolford coming into the game here instead of Baker cements that it was always going to be Mayfield as the starter no matter what.
Kinda disappointing. If that was the plan you might as well have let him get extra time with the 1’s this whole time.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:30 pm
Jarrett should make the team. Size, and agile.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:30 pm
Wolford better than Mayfield. Another Bowles Magnificient BLUNDER> Leave it to Bowlezo.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:30 pm
Wolford > Trask. Am I crazy?

Sure, if that’s your standard, then he’s good enough, one out of five times.

Bucsfantim Baker declared himself the starter and said he wanted the QB competition to be over.
Bowles took that order.
Ira was right – the fix was always in.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:32 pm
Mike S I’m going to tell you. I just stated facts. Now you want to make the argument about how many starts Mayfield has compared to Trask? Mayfield has started and won many away games. And they were against the first team starters, not the scrubs who’s playing tonight against Trask.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:33 pm
Is it really that surprising that Mayfield would not be playing? It’s the third quarter.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:33 pm

August 19th, 2023 at 9:33 pm
Wolford being out there just proves there was no competition to begin with. Why lie to everyone and deny the QB you already picked to be the starter valuable reps with the 1’s?
I can’t wait to fire Todd Bowels. He’s an incredible Defensive Coordinator and players love him… but he’s not a head coach and this season will make sure that he’s never given the reins to an NFL team ever gain.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:34 pm

Ira has been around the team forever. He told us a couple of weeks ago there is no competition, that Mayfield has the job wrapped up. I have no idea why people are shocked to just be learning this.

I’m not shocked. I just wanted him to be wrong. It’s really stupid that he was right because Mayfield has been splitting reps with the 1’s all camp. It’s a lose lose situation.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:37 pm

There was a “gentleman’s agreement” Baker was signed to be the starter.
The QB competition was to get Trask ready as a hedge.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:38 pm
Bowles Blunders again.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:38 pm
Blankership needs to prove he is better than McLaughlin.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:38 pm
Lots of fans surprised this organization isn’t run like a little league baseball team. Baker Mayfield is the starter with actual playoff experience on top of that he’s played better than Trask in camp.

Bright side. We don’t need to draft a qb. Trask played great and made great decisions minus the pass to avoid the sack.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:39 pm
Bucsfantim – I agree with you, I’d much rather have Trask out there. We know what Mayfield is, the worst QB in the NFL the last two seasons. I’m not in any way sold on Trask, but at least you got a chance that he’s not going to be terrible, but with Mayfield, you know the team is doomed to be bad – yet not bad enough to win the 1st overall pick. It’s a lose-lose.
If anyone had an questions about taking the under for the Bucs, this should settle it.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:39 pm
Mayfield will be 0-3 going in to NOLA and the Stainks will cook his Goose.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:40 pm
Bucsfantim Says: Ira was right – the fix was always in.
Are people really having a hard time believing baker is better than trask? There is no fix trask just lost the battle. He’s got his whole career ahead of him.
He’s just another quarterback who won’t be signed to a second contract but with experience the guy can be a starter just need experience and opportunity.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:40 pm
Tbbucs Baker will ish the bed and we’ll see Trask.
He’s getting a 4 game audition.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:40 pm
I don’t know how Trask doesn’t become bitter after this. If baker starts the Bucs organization essentially lied to him. I think he showed enough to start and could grow into a great QB. Baker is just not the answer.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:41 pm
Good coverage by Josh Hayes.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:41 pm
The more the Jets coach looks dejected, the more I love it!
August 19th, 2023 at 9:42 pm
Zuerlein is showing his age.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:42 pm
Now I have watch Baker choke on Sundays?
LOL no thanks.
Have a good one guys. See you later in the season after Baker implodes.
Peace Out
August 19th, 2023 at 9:43 pm
I want Baker to play lights out and I don’t understand those who want him to fail if you are a Bucs fan. Be mad at management not Baker.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:43 pm
Hey we get to see Trask start next week. Baker needs his beauty rest, I thought we might squek by the Bears but with the Mayfield Bowles combo I doubt it.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:43 pm
Big Bucs Guy Says:
August 19th, 2023 at 9:37 pm
What does it mean that Blankenship taking all the kicks tonight… is he our kicker? Or is he behind McLaughlin and this is his chance to prove coaching staff wrong??
——–
I thought McLaughlin got some nice guaranteed money, but he only got $100k. That’s surprising, I would have swore it was reported he got a lot more than that.
Blankenship isn’t have a good night, his kickoff earlier only went the 20, and he missed the long kick. They might be just giving him this full game and McLaughlin all the kicks next week.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:45 pm
get up wolf
August 19th, 2023 at 9:45 pm
Wolford is hurting bad.
Pray.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:45 pm
Send in Mayfield now. Wolford got wind knocked out.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:46 pm
Yes because no way trask has a chance of sharting the bed in his first ever game as a starter. What’s with the hate? If you’re a bucs fan you have no choice but to ride with baker. Can be all in on 52 players only. Don’t hate congratulate
August 19th, 2023 at 9:46 pm
I really like the strategy being adopted by teams with established veteran players. Why play your 1’s or in some cases 2’s against teams playing late round rookies or 2’s, 3’s, 4’s? Those guys really need to stick some hard plays to make even the practice squad. I love the Bucs are among those teams. Your stars KNOW how to play. Fu**! Wolfman is down! Hope he’s okay. Proof is in the pudding.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:46 pm
I don’t understand why we didn’t start our starters for the first quarter. New system. New OC. New OL. They need their reps.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:47 pm
yikes… broken back?
August 19th, 2023 at 9:47 pm
I’m not even saying Trask should start… I’m saying actually hold true to it being a competition and put Baker out there this game. He didn’t play well enough in camp or preseason game 1 to win the job. Put him out there.
Just feels like mismanaged goods the whole thing.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:48 pm
Uggggh I like Wolf. Hurt his neck looks like.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:48 pm
Oh man who replaces him trask or baker?
August 19th, 2023 at 9:48 pm
It looks like a neck injury but who knows.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:48 pm
Oh crap… Wolford :O
August 19th, 2023 at 9:49 pm
That wasn’t much of a hit.

Either Trask or some joe to hand it off. They’ll rest Baker
August 19th, 2023 at 9:49 pm
It didn’t look like anything, just a hit you see 20 times in a game.
I doubt there’s anything wrong with him, just the NFL in CYA mode for future lawsuits. I hope that’s the case for his sake.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:49 pm
Trask back in.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:49 pm
Yep trask is the backup
August 19th, 2023 at 9:50 pm
RONNIE!
They knew it was coming and they couldn’t stop him!
August 19th, 2023 at 9:50 pm
Do we not have a 4th string QB?
August 19th, 2023 at 9:51 pm
No camp meat quarterback this year
August 19th, 2023 at 9:51 pm
I’m shocked they had Trask throw that, I’d expect he throws it less than 5 times for the entire rest of the game.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:51 pm
Go Trask!
August 19th, 2023 at 9:52 pm
Trask in. Not taking any chances getting Baker hurt. Need to know anything further?
August 19th, 2023 at 9:52 pm
RONNIE!
Again, they stacked the middle, knew it was coming, and he still got 3 yards! Tucker would have lost 3 on that play.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:54 pm
Yea well have camp meat signed after this game!!!! They can’t afford to play trask or baker
August 19th, 2023 at 9:54 pm
Once again all of you wanna be coaches are full of sh**. Bradys long gone and ain’t comin back. You’re making it like Trask is the next savior. Boys, it’s gonna be a long season but like I said before, an 8-9 season wud look as gud as last year. Open your eyes, and shake your heads. That’s it, shake the sh** out of your heads and help Mr to understand just what’s so friggin great about Trask. He’s not gud enuff to carry Bakers jock strap. But I love reading the crap you’re putting down. Comedians a gaggle of comedians.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:54 pm
Did they just sign a WR who used to play QB?
August 19th, 2023 at 9:56 pm
Wolford has a history of neck injuries… perhaps he aggravated an old injury or it’s a new on to weak area. Hope he is ok
August 19th, 2023 at 9:56 pm
Jarrett is crazy haha.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:56 pm
I can sympathize with both Gator and FSU fans… I’m Austin, Texas born and raised… Yes I’m a longhorn, and Baker also went to a rival high-school here.
I’m rooting for the Bucs to win no matter who is at QB… but god I wish it was literally anybody but him. Gimme Nathan Peterman and we can get the #1 pick. I’d enjoy it more.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:56 pm
Is Ryan Griffin still out there?
August 19th, 2023 at 9:56 pm
DIFFERENT TAKE
Baker may not have been in the game because of his personal issues. Finding out your father and brother stole $12M from you could have an impact on your game day mindset.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:56 pm
RONNIE!
Look at those moves. Tucker would have been stuffed for zero.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:57 pm
Brown is a fluid runner.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:57 pm
First question that will be asked to Bowles is why didn’t Baker play like you said last week. I wonder how Bowles will try to spin it after lying through his teeth. Either way I want the Bucs to win but to flat out lie like that I have no respect for the guy. GO BUCS
August 19th, 2023 at 9:57 pm
Lol yea did you see how Bowles looked at him? Then turned around to his position coach to say get ya boy outta there
August 19th, 2023 at 9:57 pm
Trask looks like Brady out there.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:57 pm

Wishful thinking but unlikely. They still put Brady out there in the pre-season mid divorce
August 19th, 2023 at 9:58 pm
Good catch by Warner.
I think with Geiger choking this pre season and Thompkins cooling off that Warner may sneak up on people with the WR competition.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:59 pm
Why is Laird back out there. Clearly the Bucs are hiding Ronnie, hope they can get him on the PS.
August 19th, 2023 at 9:59 pm
Baaaad call
August 19th, 2023 at 10:00 pm
Howard Stern’s penis.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:00 pm
Looks like Jarrett got benched, can’t get flipped like that and possibly fumble rookie
August 19th, 2023 at 10:01 pm
I’m not even joking, Ronnie has looked great every time he’s touched the ball, and yet they pull him and put this stiff Laird back out there.
Clearly they don’t want to show too much Ronnie, he’s that good.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:01 pm
McLaughlin is clearly the better kicker.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:02 pm
McLaughlin has guaranteed money, even if it’s not that much money, so if it’s even remotely close he’s going to win the job.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:02 pm
Brown looks better than Vaughn and Laird.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:03 pm
I think we know who the kicker should be.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:06 pm
Should have asked Mike if he can 1000 yards even with a stiff like Mayfield throwing him the ball – will it harder to do than when Glennon was throwing him the ball.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:07 pm
If the Bucs start Ronnie Brown at QB and run the wild cat, they may score on every offensive possession.

Is Joe Flacco available? He’s a Todd Bowles type of guy.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:15 pm
Rod Munch … you just have to see it to believe it. I’m a believer.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:15 pm
I think Wolf will be OK.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:16 pm
hope so HC Grover
August 19th, 2023 at 10:17 pm
nice
August 19th, 2023 at 10:18 pm
No way they’re not trying to hide Ronnie. Why in the world would Laird be out there yet again?
August 19th, 2023 at 10:18 pm
DANG nice throw by Trask!
August 19th, 2023 at 10:18 pm
Nice dime throw by Trask to Jarrett.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:18 pm
Trask should start.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:19 pm
Laird is outplaying Ronnie Brown.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:20 pm
Trask looking good so far. Would like another touchdown.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:20 pm
Barber sighting!
Good catch.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:20 pm
Is that Trask or Brady? No matter Bowles will blunder with Mayfield.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:20 pm
Nice observation by Barber there – the Bucs have easily ran more playaction passes tonight than they ran all of last season.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:20 pm
Donk and dunk quarterback, huh?
August 19th, 2023 at 10:21 pm
brown is good tho lol
August 19th, 2023 at 10:21 pm
Up the middle???
August 19th, 2023 at 10:21 pm
Brown rocks.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:21 pm
How do you watch Ronnie run and not want to see a lot more of him?
August 19th, 2023 at 10:21 pm
Nice run by Ronnie Brown!
August 19th, 2023 at 10:22 pm
glasses is tripping.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:22 pm
Brown trainwrecked. 🙁
August 19th, 2023 at 10:22 pm
Geez…missed a 32 yarder? He’s done
August 19th, 2023 at 10:22 pm
Bye Bye Goggle Eye. Get him out!
August 19th, 2023 at 10:22 pm
ooohhh…..that’s IT for Blankenship
August 19th, 2023 at 10:23 pm
Well, he’ll be among the cuts.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:23 pm
lol Glasses.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:23 pm
I think Blankenshipwreck just settled the kicking situation.
See what I did there with his name. Pretty clever stuff if you ask me.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:23 pm

The undersized Watts shows more power than Hall.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:27 pm
Well, Kyle is over 10 yards per complete
August 19th, 2023 at 10:27 pm
Is Watts already better than JTS?
August 19th, 2023 at 10:28 pm
How can Bowles star Dinky Dunkum Mayfield over Trask?
August 19th, 2023 at 10:32 pm
Trask is player of the game. Take that Mayfail
August 19th, 2023 at 10:33 pm
Bowles pulling punch so Trask cant score again.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:34 pm
Ronnie still out there when the Jets know the run is coming, they’re just ruining Ronnie’s stat line to make sure he sneaks to through the practice squad. Pretty obvious.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:36 pm
Bowles will take a knee so Trask cant score again.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:37 pm
Rod has brought his A game tonight. Bucs definitely have some depth issues and the kicker battle is over. Looks like the Jets as sloppy as the Bucs. They could challenge for a high draft pick like our Bucs. Defensive head coach equals play not to lose equals a bad year.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:38 pm
Mayfield is bumming.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:38 pm
Why take a knee in preseason? Let the offense practice red zone. This is how you evaluate third-stringers
August 19th, 2023 at 10:39 pm
My takeaway … The Bucs defense held Rodgers to 0 passing yards. Boom!
August 19th, 2023 at 10:41 pm
FortMyersDave — you mean A++++ game.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:46 pm
Bowles kept Trask in hoping he would mess up but he kept getting better as the game progressed. He’s clearly the better QB. He has 300 yards to Bakers 66
August 19th, 2023 at 10:46 pm
“It was a really big play for us,” said Godwin. “It was on one of the better corners in the league. [Palmer] is playing with a lot of confidence right now. He’s a fast guy, man. I don’t people notice it or not, but he’s flying out there. Kyle gave him a great ball. I think it was kind of tough on Sauce because they went Cover Zero. It was one-on-one and Trey’s a blazer. It was a great play by the offense, but that’s the kind of plays we’re going to need from him.
August 19th, 2023 at 10:48 pm
good wolf is okay!!
August 19th, 2023 at 10:52 pm
Now, Baker had better have the game of his life next week. Trask’s performance will make it difficult for Bowles to name Baker the starter before the Ravens game. If he does and Baker blows chunks, like he’s apt to do, there are going to be even more people calling for Bowles’ head.
