Rapid Reaction Finale: Our season ends

[Nano]

So close. But be proud it happened

[Backside]

It hurts

[Snake]

Just an unbelievably bad coaching staff.

[Defense5599]

Arians and his coordinators need to get their walking papers!!!! Fuck these loser motherfuckers!!!!

[acmillis]

Blown coverage on Kupp TD, white decides to abandon his man on that TE td… that’s not on coaching

[air-buc-pirate]

This game played today was pretty much how we played during the season.

[Digital_Damage]

Jesus fucking Christ Bowles...

[BJJ34]

What a game. Honored to have watched the GOAT here. Hope he comes back. That game was one of the greatest games I’ve ever watched. The Suh fumble… haven’t reacted that hard in any sport ever unless I was personally playing.

[King Bootz]

Players gotta do better

[Snake]

SMB on Kupp. Runs right past him. Into Winfield’s zone. Runs right past him.

Good stuff.

[Primeminister]

I’m proud of this team. The way they played in the 2nd half with all these injuries is worthy of credit. They came back from 27-3.

[uscbucsfan]

SMB on Kupp. Runs right past him. Into Winfield’s zone. Runs right past him.

Good stuff.

I'd have to watch it again, but I thought SMB blitzed and Winfield's assignment was Kupp.

[Snake]

Comebacks aren’t comebacks if you lose. LOL!

[Heisenberg]

Bowles made one of the dumbest calls in playoff history

[Selmon Rules]

Quit watching well into it... They all pretty well combined to blow this one in the first half....

That said, once you are back in the game, why would you be stupid at the end and let Kupp beat you??? Anyone but him

[Snake]

SMB on Kupp. Runs right past him. Into Winfield’s zone. Runs right past him.

Good stuff.

I'd have to watch it again, but I thought SMB blitzed and Winfield's assignment was Kupp.

Putting Winfield on single coverage against the best WR in the NFL is incredibly retarded. Winfield lacks deep speed. We know this.

[King Bootz]

SMB on Kupp. Runs right past him. Into Winfield’s zone. Runs right past him.

Good stuff.

And fans will blame the coach

I'm just saying, I think SMB was blitzing.

To be fair, a blitz at that point was probably not the best call

I wasn't watching but that is my understanding of the final series

[13F11B]

Amazing comeback spoiled by stupid defense with :43 second left. How do you let a guy get past you? How do you not double cover their best receiver?

Hopefully, Bowles get a HC job (not with the Buccaneers) and the team can get better on defense.

[CantonJester]

If they wanted to win the game during regulation, they should've gone for 2 instead of the PAT. By kicking the PAT, they were playing for OT.

So why then wasn't there 8 DBs downfield making sure the fucking play stays in front of them?

So stupid. Needlessly stupid.

[Digital_Damage]

I think this is the end for Brady... he is not going to come back for a rebuild.

You are going to see an exodus of key playmakers.
Gronk
Lenny
Suh
JPP
Jensen
Cappa
Whitehead
Godwin

and some not so key
Howard
Jones
Gholston

Glad things came together and we could brute force ourselves to a Championship.


and.... fuck you Antonio Brown.

Because Bowles

[Crocaneers]

Anyone who says they would rather lose 27-3 rather than 30-27 is a nutcase

Go down swinging

Lenny was GOLD
Brady is GOAT

Defense couldn't shut down the machine

I agree. I think Brady retires. Arians retires. I think it will be time for a rebuild and a new coaching staff. Unfortunately, given the Buccaneers' history that means another 15+ years of sucking.

[King Bootz]

Arians has already said he's coming back. Doubled down this morning talking to ESPN.

[Capsaicin]

Rams let us score so they would have time left to beat us.

[The Outsider]

I'm not going to blame Arians for Bowles terrible call. Other than that I can't say too much negative about the game or the team. The Rams came out with a great game plan and punched us in the mouth. The fact that it came down to a FG is a testament to Brady and the coaching staff making half time adjustments.

It was a fun season and if I were a betting man I'd put money on Brady being on the field for us next season.

I would have debated going for two as well. Then again after watching our defense make plays all 4th quarter who would think they would fold so quickly. Hell, they almost forced a fumble by Stafford on the final drive.

[Swashbuckler]

Thankfully 2003 prepared me for this day 19 years in advance. When I was a kid I took shit hard, like trying to not cry kind of stuff. I'm not really sure why. But these days at least I can be mad and I'll get over this in half an hour or so.


Fuck Todd Bowles

Isn’t the fact that the Rams had a great gameplan from the beginning and we didn’t an indictment on the coaching staff? And the fact that everyone saw that coming, isn’t that a problem?

[Buc2]

I’m not jumping on the he sucks, they suck wagon. These guys made a game of it and got it to the wire. We never should have even been in a position to take this game to OT. Yet there we were needing one more stop.

Crazy season with all the injuries, but it was still a fun ride. Just wish we could have found a way to go one more game. And then, one more.

Loved what Brady brought to the team I’ve loved for 42 seasons. He’s definitely The Goat.

The early issues aren't on coaching. Kicking the. ball out of bounds TWICE. 3 personal fouls for losing your cool. Dropped passes. Missed tackles. Missed blocks. That's on the players actually playing the game

[Pirate Life]

Heck of a two year run. Just crazy we were in the game at the end the way the first half went. Team didn’t give up or quit when they could have. Really did come down to a few plays here and there. Rams made more of them than we did.
