Bucs Offense Is A Joke
December 7th, 2025
Offensive offense.
Joe’s had it with this dink-and-dunk offense!
Joe isn’t against dink-and-dunk offenses as long as they produce. The only thing the Bucs’ offense produces is indigestion. It sure as hell isn’t producing points.
And this “hot hand” nonsense.
Remember Sean Tucker and Rachaad White running in third quarter on a dive that ended with Tucker scoring from a yard out to retake the lead 17-14?
To that point, Bucky Irving was largely struggling — averaging about 1.5 yards per carry. Joe noticed during a timeout that Bucky lay on the ground the entire time stretching. Later, Evan Closky of WTSP-TV Channel 10 said he saw Bucky hobbling on the sidelines.
So the Bucs finally got the ground game going by running left. Success! Hot hand! Feed Tucker and White the ball. But no!
When the Bucs next got the ball back, it was Bucky running right for two yards then Baker Mayfield attempting a pass on second down that was tipped.
Hot hand; Joe’s arse!
Then, Grizzard seems fully allergic to throwing downfield. He cannot use injuries as an excuse any longer. Chris Godwin is back and looking healthy.
Later, the Bucs had second-and-15 in slimy Saints territory. Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard calls for a run up the middle that netted two yards.
Next play, third-and-13, Mayfield tries for unreliable Cade Otton.
This was the best Grizzard could do? What are the Bucs playing Godwin all this money for? Why did the Bucs draft Emeka Egbuka No. 19 overall? Otton has just about played himself out of a new contract. He’s had a bad case of the dropsies. And when you desperately need a first down, you target Otton? Really? And then there’s what happened on the final drive.
This offense is a joke.
It’s pretty clear Grizzard’s offense is an east-to-west offense. The problem is, you have to go north-and-south to score. Joe isn’t sure Grizzard knows what a successful play is. He seems content with three-yard gains to set up third-and-one.
This team is just a hot mess right now.
