National Embarrassment; Rams 34, Bucs 7
November 23rd, 2025

Can someone at One Buc Palace please explain to Joe why the Buccaneers could not even compete tonight in Los Angeles?

Did the Bucs look ready to play? Joe doesn’t think so.

It looked like an effort from The Lost Decade of Buccaneers football. Yes, the Rams are damn good. No, the Rams aren’t nearly as good as they played tonight.

The Rams scored on their first three possessions with ease — in between was a pick-6 by Baker Mayfield courtesy of Cade Otton again having a football ripped from his hands (see Lions game).

Ballgame.

Oh, and now Baker Mayfield is hurt. Something is wrong with his left arm. He winced over and over and spent the second half with his left arm in a sling.

Joe can only imagine what was said at halftime, but whatever Todd Bowles uttered, his team didn’t respond.

Joe was very disturbed how backup QB Teddy Bridgewater didn’t look like a guy fired up to get on the field, especially in a season that’s seen backup quarterbacks seize opportunities all over the league.

Shame on this Bucs team. Rock bottom has arrived. Where was the heart?

All offseason, Bucs officials rambled about how great the leadership is on this roster. Nonsense.
