Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Bills-Buccaneers

BY IRA KAUFMAN

Too little, too late, too depressing.

For the second consecutive year, the Bucs are approaching midseason saddled with a 3-game losing streak. They showed plenty of grit Thursday night in Buffalo against a good football team and a raucous crowd, but that 3-1 start is starting to look like a mirage.

Once again, Tampa Bay’s defense did itself proud, especially in the second half. Buffalo punted on each of its final four possessions, but Baker Mayfield couldn’t get the offense in gear until midway through the fourth quarter.

The Bucs now have extra time to prepare for a trip to Houston, where the Texans have been surprisingly competitive behind rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud.

With the trade deadline looming, this franchise must decide on a direction. If the Bucs were 2-5 instead of 3-4, the path ahead would seem clear. Kyle Trask would be on the brink of replacing Mayfield under center and players like Mike Evans and Devin White might be deemed available.

The Glazers would likely weigh in at that point and suggest to Jason Licht that the future is not now. Accumulating draft capital would be a priority.

But at 3-4, the Bucs aren’t ready to abandon plans for a third consecutive division title. The bad news? (more…)

Second-Lowest Scoring Team In The NFC

Monday, October 23rd, 2023

Bucs OC Dave Canales.

In only the first eight games of the miserable 2013 Bucs season, Tampa Bay changed quarterbacks (veteran with mental issues to a rookie third-round pick), lost its top running back to injury, and had only had one legitimate receiver to complement an undrafted rookie tight end.

No wonder the Bucs went 0-8! But they averaged in those eight games only 1 1/2 points less per game than the current Bucs. (more…)

BY IRA KAUFMAN

Owner Arthur Blank looked a little wobbly walking to the Atlanta interview room after Sunday’s game.

Who can blame him? The Falcons owner knew his team didn’t play particularly well, but hey, a win is a win and his franchise now leads the NFC South at 4-3. Sluggish coming off a bye last week, the Bucs were sloppy and unfocused en route to a 16-13 setback.

That’s three consecutive home losses for Tampa Bay, which now hits the road four times in the next five games. (more…)
