“I Thought The Focus Was There”
December 7th, 2025
Bucs GM Jason Licht and Baker Mayfield comment on the leadup to today’s loss.
How did the Bucs lose today to a sadsack slimy Saints football team?
Oh, Bucs fans saw it play out on the field, but what about the preparation leading up to the game?
Baker Mayfield said after today’s nutkick 24-20 loss that the Bucs had a solid week of preparation, which included practicing with a wet football.
“I thought the focus was there,” Mayfield said.
Interestingly, Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht said before the game that he could feel a playoff-like vibe from his team.
Team radio network co-host Gene Deckerhoff mentioned to Licht that the Bucs are in a fight for the playoffs and it’s that crunch-time of the sason.
“You can definitely feel it in our preparations,” Licht replied.
Joe almost feels bad hearing two Bucs leaders say the team had a good mindset in the week leading up to today’s mess. An off week might make the result feel a tiny bit understandable.
