    Ira, Steve, and Lee. Love it. Got to remind everyone though that while Barton made a mistake on the snap, there was still no guarantee that a TD would be the outcome of that drive without that mistake.
    Totally agree with Ira’s take on Calijah. Can’t wait to see him play for a full year.
    Absolutely love the repartee between the three of you.

    I finally climbed out of my 1.75 of Bulleit Rye and I’m still disgusted with Sunday…
    Trade for Miles Garrett and draft all defensive players. Bowles isn’t the worst coach we’ve had but he’s hit his ceiling IMO. You don’t fire him for the sake of firing someone BUT start looking for door number two.

  3. BallHawk75 Says:

    The Bucs pass defense was in the bottom 4 teams of the NFL two years running.

    That tells you everything you need to know.

    Either the players are wrong for the scheme or the scheme is wrong for the players. Maybe both.

    The coach is there to ameliorate that situation. Clearly he is not capable.

    Conclusion: Fire Bowles immediately!

    I say give Bowles one more year with an improved defensive roster. Licht did an awesome job reloading the offense. Now it’s time to work on the defensive side of the ball. It’s unfortunate though that we’re probably 5 or 6 players away. Tough to do in one draft and one free agency.

  5. Finley Says:

    Could somebody ask Lee to let Ira finish talking before talking. Rude!

  6. Alanbucsfan Says:

    I don’t agree with letting Coen off the hook for the Washington loss.
    Where was S Tucker? He only got a few Special Teams plays.
    They took R White out of the mainstream of the offense and made him a kick returner?
    McMillan gets more snaps than Evans?
    Changing the personnel groupings for a playoff game doesn’t make much sense.

  7. Pewter Power Says:

    Falling asleep in the first half of games is not a new unless the 2020 game when Tyreek Hill racked up 203 yard in the first quarter doesn’t count. It’s just so common the fans are numb

    OHBucFan:

    Thanks man. Much appreciated. 👍
