\t\t\t\u201cWe Did It To Ourselves\u201d
\nJanuary 6th, 2026 <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.<\/p>\n

Joe always sees these comments on this here corner of the interwebs and Joe just doesn\u2019t know where people get this idea from.<\/p>\n

Daily, multiple times a day, commenters claim Bucs coach Todd Bowles blames his players but never takes responsibility for losing.<\/p>\n

Joe must be attending the wrong press conferences. Or perhaps Bowles is holding closed meetings with select fans where he says things not known to anyone else.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was another example. Bowles said that he\u2019s the head coach and he\u2019s responsible for how the Bucs play. Seems pretty responsible to Joe?<\/p>\n

And frankly, Bowles should call out players (if warranted). Dudes were turning on him and the team. What\u2019s Bowles supposed to do, bring the pouters and losers to Dairy Queen so they recover from their poor feelings being hurt? Maybe bake them a cake?<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Joe thought Bowles summed up perfectly why, for the first time since he first arrived in Tampa Bay, the Bucs are not getting ready for a playoff game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did this to ourselves,\u201d Bowles said.<\/p>\n

Tristan Wirfs pretty much said the same thing. Wirfs said the Bucs allowed their own destiny to be determined by another team.<\/p>\n

In so many words, Wirfs was saying the Bucs got what they deserved.<\/p>\n

Or as Bowles said, \u201cWe did this to ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWe Did It To Ourselves\u201d January 6th, 2026 Bucs coach Todd Bowles.
