“It Sucks. There’s No Other Way To Put It”
October 21st, 2024
Baker Mayfield owned up to “dumb” throws tonight and lamented the loss of the Bucs’ star receivers after the 41-31 loss to the Ravens.
Speaking on the Buccaneers Radio Network, Mayfield was down about the significant injuries suffered by Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle).
“Losing Mike and Chris, yeah, it sucks. There’s no other way to put it,” Mayfield said.
Mayfield noted the Bucs were down only one score at halftime but didn’t respond.
Despite the rough night on many levels, Mayfield was optimistic about what comes next this season. He called on young receivers to step up but to play within themselves.
“We’ll find a way, and I’m guessing it’ll be fun to see how this happens,” Mayfield said.

not sure how fun it will be if and when the losses stack up.

“It Sucks. There’s No Other Way To Put It”
Was he specifically talking about his play tonight with that statement? Those INT’s were dumb, they were literally two of the worst INTs you’ll ever see a pro-QB throw, and it lost the game for the Bucs.
Now you lose Godwin, perhaps Evans.
It more than sucks.

None of the younger receivers is ready for prime time.
October 22nd, 2024 at 12:01 am
Haha yea we’re all looking forward to Baker forcing plays and throwing Interceptions because we have no WR and Bowles inept coaching. Should be fun to watch the train wreck that’s about to happen.

I just read only 2 onside kicks allowed per game. Only 2 attempts.
We couldn’t have even tried for an onside if we had scored.
Fire bowls.

Other teams have injuries also. Just means running backs, tight ends, and secondary receivers gotta step up bigtime. No excuses. Lose to the Falcons and we probably lose the division. Ruck up Bucs! Nobody feels sorry for us. This is the NFL Baby.

Joe, is it true with the new rules a team can only attempt two onside kicks a game??? I believe that is the new rules and Bowles on his PC said they were trying to score and do another onside kick..

What a ridiculous and stupid rule.
I’m not defender of Bowles, but to just randomly put that crap rule into the rulebook is just trash.

Its a violent game, cant handle it then go watch Dodgers Yankees

Not sure how it’ll work but maybe they should try Rachaad at the slot. Give the RB duties to Bucky and Tucker. Hopefully Evans can come back in a few weeks but the ATL game just became even more important. Can’t lose to them twice I don’t see anyone else in the division beating them.

Baker set the tone tonight in a bad way. Those two picks were more then we could recover from. Our defense is bad enough, but when you give the Ravens extra chances you don’t have a chance. Even without the turnovers from Baker we only stopped them once all night. After the first series we couldn’t stop them from doing whatever they wanted offensively. I never see receivers as wide open as I do except when they’re playing the Bucs. Todd’s defense has been figured out. Cousins was the league MVP two weeks ago when he lit us up, today it was MVP Lamar. Whatever he wanted, running, passing, blocking, Lamar, and his offense had fun against us. Well Buc fans, the fun is over for us.

No one was saying ” Fire Bowles” .
When Baker be in the game during garbage time, padding his stats
I haven’t seen Trask all season
I forgot what his jersey number is

That rule is probably in place because no professional team should need 3 onsides to get back into a game.

Yes, it’s real. More limp wristed trash from the NFL. They should just go ahead and put dresses on them.

This is also the fault of the NFL and them pretending to care about head injuries and targeting calls….now that players get penalized anytime they go near the helmet, more and more players are targeting knees and ankles.
Happened to Ayuik yesterday
I guarantee these WRs would much rather take a shot the the helmet than a potential career altering leg injury
October 22nd, 2024 at 12:14 am
Look on the bright side everyone.
Both Baker and Bowles will be gone after this season.
October 22nd, 2024 at 12:14 am
I think if I’m a head coach in the NFL id know the rules. I guess Bowles is the exception this injury is on Bowles

4-3 and the next three are against serious teams. The
Get ready for 4-6.

Trade for Kupp
October 22nd, 2024 at 12:18 am
Also maybe dean did make a big difference. The redzone int was everything though
October 22nd, 2024 at 12:19 am
Kupp has a broken down body.
October 22nd, 2024 at 12:26 am
Here is some advice for Tampa Bay. Instead of tiring players out on Defense when the opposing team kicks for rhe pint after, don’t do anything at all except prepare to play defense if they fakre the kick & go for the 2 point conversion. In other words concede the one point conversion. It is not worth injuries & tiring out players energies.
October 22nd, 2024 at 12:29 am
I think Otten is going to step up.
October 22nd, 2024 at 12:52 am
The first interception #10 was open, he was right in front. The second one theres no chance. This changed the momentum

That would be quite the turn around considering the Rams thought they had signed Evans in the offseason.
October 22nd, 2024 at 1:31 am
BM is overrated…said this for years…the coach is so-so…the two B’s should be gone by the end of the season…we hall see.
October 22nd, 2024 at 5:55 am
Rod Muchi think that trading for Kupp would be bitter sweet because it would show Godwin he’s out next year but it will also show the fan base that we’re not giving up. I hate it because if we just take the players out and take the loss all of this is avoided and we could still be contenders. I just don’t see it anymore
October 22nd, 2024 at 6:09 am
Wow! When the going gets tough, the tough…here at least whine and give up!!
Now we have to put up with the return of Mostly Peaceful Assshole! I know the scroll wheel is my friend. Sadly this troll makes me hate Trask which of course is irrational. It’s not Trask’s fault that his biggest fanboi is an absolue assshole.
He hides when the Bucs were rolling and then turns up to in his mind, hopefully be dancing on the Bucs graves. WHAT A FREAKING JERK!!!
October 22nd, 2024 at 6:12 am
I’m amazed at the lack of football nous and knowledge on JBF.
October 22nd, 2024 at 7:53 am
Play Trask the Mayfield experience is OVER. He is the cause of all of this. Cleveland Carolina and the Rams knew.
October 22nd, 2024 at 8:41 am
Buc2Blame and MostlyPeaceful – Respectfully, Baker is not the blame for this.
I like Trask, but obviously the coaches are not enamored with Trask or they would have him in there once in awhile. If Trask was so good, Canales would have taken him.
