Biggest Obstacle For The Bucs: The Bucs
December 28th, 2025
Bucs beating Bucs.
Boy, Bucs coach Todd Bowles hit the nail on the head early last week when he spoke of where the Bucs stand in relation to the playoffs and how they have painted themselves into this corner.
“We understand we control our own destiny,” Bowles said. “But our biggest enemy right now is us.”
There’s no doubt about it: The Bucs’ biggest enemy is the Bucs. The Bucs put themselves in this pickle by letting a rookie runaround quarterback beat them on the ground! Joe can live with a quarterback beating you through the air but on the ground is inexcusable.
And that came against a division rival, New Orleans, at home for crying out loud!
And then, with a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, a combination of a horrible interception, a dropped pass and gutless defense — a hallmark of the Bucs the past few years — and the Bucs choked away a win on national television no less.
The Bucs’ biggest enemy is the Bucs.
So if the Bucs do lose today, you can bet it will be a combination of offensive turnovers and rotten pass defense giving a rookie quarterback so much time he can order takeout from Hometown BBQ.
