Bucs drop out of the division lead.
We suck again.

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
It could worse but unfortunately we suck so it’s pretty bad

Division matches are tough. See Bills.
We get back to work.

Team loss.... Score makes it look like the defense was better than they were and pretty much tells the story about the offense.
Outside of a couple of splash plays by the defense, Atl did what they wanted.

Fire Bowles. Bench Mayfield. Both of them cost the team the game today.

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
If Atlanta QB Ridder had not had those 3 fumbles it would have been far worse.
Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
If they can't figure out how to run the ball more effectively they're not going anywhere.
Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
Offense sucks a dick.
In the event they eek their way into the playoffs, they’re gonna get blown off by 21+ in the first round because they can’t score.

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
This was a continuation of an embarrassing situation. Why we can't tackle? Or stop wide open in the middle of th he field receptions. Or no one on the planet can figure out why our RB's who can't gain ground to the open, are surprised when they run up the middle into 1200#s of defenders.
Push the damned button already!

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
I really want to see this team start fresh. Al the money and resources wasted in trying to “compete” this season are being wasted. Create cap space and rebuild the offense. As long as Bowles is coach he’s going to put the resources into his defense and I just don’t want another Dungy ball era without the HOFers on defense and no Warrick Dunn giving us hope.
Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
Run game is our complete let down this entire season. Fix the run game and this offense will flow. We need a RB1.

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
The playcalling was an issue too. We never should have left them enough time to try that last field goal. We had plenty of time to sneak in one run. Or at least a simple high percentage pass and just see if our guy can make a play happen. I also would have looked for at least one jump ball in the back corner of the end zone with Evans
Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
This defense is shit. Fuck this defense and every player on it for not wanting to win.
Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
Shame on you Prime…
Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
Good RB’s will get 2-3 yards and grind it out. Twinkle toes can’t do that, we need a hard nose RB that can keep us ahead of the chains by grinding out 2-3 yard runs that will become 3-5 yard runs as the game moves on.

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
-Offense would be non existent without Evans.
-Baker lost the game with that int. Check down was wide open.
-Horrible clock management calling those timeouts so early giving them too much time.
-Giving up a 40 yard play on a 40 second drive is unacceptable.
-That last drives redzone play calling was questionable. Especially going empty back on 1st down, making everything way too crowded to create any space.
These games piss me off more than blowouts. Having this game within reach multiple times and fucking up every opportunity is just infuriating.

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
White might be Warrick Dunn (I doubt that even), but he is not Mike Alstott. We need a dude who will crush the first defender hitting him to the point that the defender starts feeling it.
Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
Yep. Close games are where coaching can really shine. Put players in good positions. Bowles never does that. He plays NOT to lose. His method is a recipe for losing.Heisenberg wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 4:20 pm -Offense would be non existent without Evans.

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
Not to mention sitting on all three timeouts before halftime, letting the Falcons kill the clock and not give our offense a chance. They probably wouldn’t have scored, but not even trying is more pathetic than trying and failing.Heisenberg wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 4:20 pm -Offense would be non existent without Evans.

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
What we need are three interior offensive linemen or a running back who can go outside and make the first man miss consistently, so we could have even a pretense of a running game. Right now we don't have either, so it's going to be a long season. Maybe we can scratch out a few more wins but first place is gone and I don't think we'll see it again this year.
Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
Was a game we needed to win if we’re trying to be serious this year. Clearly we’re not that
Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
Roster churn in the NFL is expected. Granted.
One wonders what things are gonna look like next season. Baker is probably gone, Mike Evans is probably gone. you’re inserting either another retread starting quarterback, or a rookie.
You should be in a better cap situation, but to merely retain some different makers you’re gonna be spending a bunch.
I do find it hard to be optimistic when the offense needs this much work. And if you bring baker back, it instantly puts a ceiling on the offense.

This game made me want to vomit. Watching after-game sports shows highlight Ridder is fucking hilarious. He did not help his team. He hurt his team.
Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
It is time to get the big plunger out and unclog Bowles from the toilet. He is full of shit and it smells.

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
I'm still encouraged. Our great pieces are still great. We just need to get out of the dead cap space era. Sign and draft accordingly. We have everything it takes to win 10+ next year. And yes that's with Baker.
We just need a better offensive line

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
We once again held them to 13 points and have the ball back to our offense with over 2 minutes who got the ball inside the 10....
But yeah, totally doesn't put us in positions to win.

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
Missing several pieces and no $$$ to remedy.
We’ll compete for as long as we can…
Until the bottom drops out.
God bless our Buccaneers and pass the biscuits.
See you Thursday for a showdown with the Buffalo Bills talentless club football group.
Cheers!

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
We have no running game at all to speak of which is a huge problem.
It seems every time our defense gets beat it’s in zone we need to man up and play much more man coverage.
Ryan Neal is garbage that terrible angle gave them another 15-20 yards.

Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
I wonder why I can watch the NYG run the same counter play 4-5 times in a row and pick up 5-10 yards a pop against the Bills the other night with an offensive line every bit as bad as ours but we can't pick up 4 yards consistently
Re: Rapid Reactions: Bucs lose to the Falcons 16-13
Our two running backs had 17 attempts for 41 yards, in a game that went down to the wire, meaning no reason to keep them from getting the ball.
Baker Mayfield nearly matched their yards in a single scramble that was so atypical of him that the defense wasn't ready for it.
