  1. On a functioning team, he would be off punt return duties, but I’m 99% sure we will see him on Sunday lol

  2. Wtf that’s way worse than what I remember from that game wtf. This whole team is in disarray. Wtf. Wtf. WTF. W.T.F.

  3. Darden seemed pretty upset about the fair catch, I have a feeling this wasn’t his call.

    At least that’s what I’m going to tell myself.

  4. between the waning moments of this game and the loss to the rams in the playoffs last year it’s hard not to believe Bowles is trying to sabotage this team for some reason.

    ​

    1. Spend all week interviewing for HC jobs instead of Rams prep.
    2. Worst defensive play call possible to lose Rams game.
    3. Encourage run first every offensive first down.
    4. Order a fair catch when Darden could have run this back 20+ yards.
    5. Punt on a 55yd FG attempt when you have the GOAT and 3 pro bowl receivers.
    6. Don’t call a timeout and head to overtime sitting on 2 TOs.

    ​

    All these things could also be explainable by an extremely conservative HC style which is where hype goes to die. Also explains why players look unmotivated.

    I was a strong supporter of Bowles until the Rams game, and every game since has been a slow burn. This game felt like we tried to lose. Without Brady’s heroics, I’m not sure the Bucs are more than a 2-15 team.

  5. For sure. He was told to fair catch it. You can see by his reaction. That game was just weird all around

  6. It seemed like he was waiting for his team to communicate to him, but didn’t hear anything so he took the fair catch. At least that’s what I saw based on his body language, for what it’s worth.

  7. Obviously he was told to do this. All of our coaches are spineless bitches who play not to lose, which is exactly what you do most times.

  8. So many things. I’ve been a Buc fan since their 1st game and this is one of the most infuriating games ever. EVER.

  9. Yeah…. a lot of discipline issues that game. Or just guys just aren’t ready for Browns game.

  10. We need our favorite coach back. No risk it no biscuit! Arians is an amazing coach. We’re just stuck with his assistants.

  11. Unrelated but why is there a statue with a bucs jersey on the field? Are these guys that checked out of this season?
