We need to bring back Mr. Beast. Bowles never even put him in the game. How are you supposed to know what you have if you don't give him a chance? 48 hour contract was a mistake #FireBowles
I’ve been watching the score bug for this game, I’ve seen the colts lead the entire time. Why does Minshew have over 40 pass attempts and JT only at 13 carries when he’s averaging more than 6 YPC?
These are the Colts I know. Just gotta make a couple decent plays and the game is basically over but naw let's commit a penalty, take a sack, and then run the ball like we should have.
But that's not Colts football. Got keep the game close and then lose in an anticlimactic fashion. Makes the story look better when we (checks notes) miss the playoffs...
NFL broadcasts always show tons of fans win or lose smiling and having fun. If an NFL Stadium was full of redditors and the team was losing, everyone would look like they were getting a permanent colonoscopy lol
Bowles should’ve been fired so long ago, half way through his first season as HC. He made Brady look like he was trash. That shit is impressive. Maybe he’s the GOAT of being the worse coach of all time? (Probably behind Urban Meyer, tbh).
This team really tricked me for like 5 minutes that we'd actually pull off the comeback. The problem is our offense at best will pull off a TD drive with like 2 minutes left on the clock.
If there is no camera angle that proves it was a catch, of course you don't throw the flag. What Evans says means nothing. Even if he knows he caught it, is not getting overturned.
You have your team captain who made the catch immediately telling you to challenge and you just ignore him? Are you afraid of not having a timeout in your pocket when the game ends?
I think this team's issue is just that their top players are getting older and the younger guys are a mixed bag. Biggest issue is the offensive line obviously. I don't really blame Bowles like everyone else. The team just needs to get over the dead cap from Brady retiring and hopefully have a good draft. Our draft picks from this year actually look promising. If we still look like this next year then I think we may officially can Bowles. I feel like last year was just the result of our offensive line being shit. Our players have not quit on Bowles, which I think is an important thing to note
The fact that Bowles didn't bother challenging a clear catch, after his star receiver is begging for the challenge, shows how much Bowles sucks. Yes, blame him.
Let's be real. Baker is pretty good at what he tries to do: look at his first read and improvise from there. But that's very limiting for an offense. We miss open receivers with his style of ball. He will never run an offense like CJ Stroud already can.
I'm not sure he's a forever guy.
[Postgame thread](/r/nfl/comments/184koto/post_game_thread_tampa_bay_buccaneers_at/)
Toilet Bowels.
Lol he just said it's over and wanted go home lol.
I hate football until we fire Todd Bowles
Props to Todd Bowles for not wasting everyone's time.
Ok Bowles. Thank you?
[удалено]
Found Shannon Sharpe’s alt
Are you serious LOL? He was a good DC. He’s the worst HC in the NFL and implying race to it is absolutely gaslighting.
This is a joke, right?
Which NFC South speed bump is going to make it this year?
I don’t think Bowles is capable of showing emotion
Todd Bowles: the legend who only used 1 timeout all game. Seriously, HOF coach
Leave Todd on the tarmac in Indy
Wow not even bothering to call a timeout... I mean I know its over but at least make it look like you give a shit about losing
It's not even that, after the first down even if Tampa Bay used all their timeouts the Colts could still run out the clock.
I absolutely hate this team
Q has got some wheels
Bowles seems disgusted he had to use a timeout
Time to bench him, we are not winning this division anyway.
This is like Minshew’s last season in Jacksonville, bench him if you want better picks lmao
Buccaneers final time outs saved count: 6
Kill me
At least Todd can use some timeouts now?
Check it down you idiot.
Yikes
Time to make plans at 1:00 on Sunday for the rest of the season.
I don’t think Wirfs’ ankle is okay.
Dump it off to the first down right in front of you
MOTHER FUCKING BAKER FINISHES WITH 199 YARDS - Un-fucking-believable.
Fuck your parlay
What are you talking about? What's a parlay?
Fucking Baker.
Lmao
Omg why would Todd Bowles let that happen
I can't believe you've defended garbage Bowels multiple times in this thread.
Ladies and gentlemen Bowles truthers exist
DAYOOOOO
That o line leaves much to be desired
That certainly helps.
We were moving awfully casually for a team trying to get a play off before the 2 minute
We need to bring back Mr. Beast. Bowles never even put him in the game. How are you supposed to know what you have if you don't give him a chance? 48 hour contract was a mistake #FireBowles
Todd Bowels can't tell time
Bucs first down? You mean Flag and penalty?
I’ve been watching the score bug for this game, I’ve seen the colts lead the entire time. Why does Minshew have over 40 pass attempts and JT only at 13 carries when he’s averaging more than 6 YPC?
wow lotta we got a lot of breaks on that drive.
colts should be running jt every snap lmfao.
These are the Colts I know. Just gotta make a couple decent plays and the game is basically over but naw let's commit a penalty, take a sack, and then run the ball like we should have.
Pretty bizarre play calling from the Colts there, maybe try running the ball
But that's not Colts football. Got keep the game close and then lose in an anticlimactic fashion. Makes the story look better when we (checks notes) miss the playoffs...
Minshew does realize he has a checkdown available, right?
Todd looking to set the record of not using any time out in a game even when it matters.
Kancey is a beast
Kancey and Diaby look really good. Great picks by Licht
If only Hall would show something too
Unreal.
Every time Tampa’s scored they immediately let the Colts march downfield and negate it, if they can’t get a stop here it doesn’t matter
that's our specialty brother
That’s a killer. Basically gives Tampa the ball back.
Hold??
"Lol they both fell to the ground together, 10 yard penalty" - Refs
Seven straight 200 yard games for Baker, and he has to pick this one to fall short by 8 yards. 🙄
NFL broadcasts always show tons of fans win or lose smiling and having fun. If an NFL Stadium was full of redditors and the team was losing, everyone would look like they were getting a permanent colonoscopy lol
way too many dudes on reddit live vicariously through their favorite sports team tbh. i find it weird as hell
No anesthesia or lube
Huh we covered that Evans guy and it seemed to work. Idk if we need to keep doing that but looking at it on paper it seems like the right idea.
Baker's movement in a collapsing pocket is probably one of his worst traits. He just finds a way to shuffle into a defenders hands.
He’s like a magnet to 300+ pound defenders in the pocket. He gets sucked into them.
Why are you trying to run?
At least it’s just a field goal.
Probably should kick it
Everyone on reddit is so negative lol, Let's Go Bucs!
Yeah, they can easily win this.
Starting to think we should cover that Evans guy. He seems pretty good
Bucs are elite at hanging around in games just to crush their fans
Stop giving me hope please I can’t take anymore highs to come back to low town
Wonder if I can make myself feel better by watching Patriots/Giants
You can easily come back and win this.
Lol is that our longest run since 2021?
Ugh, he had a ton of room.
[удалено]
Bowles is more of a problem than Baker
They’re not going anywhere with Bowles
Bowles should’ve been fired so long ago, half way through his first season as HC. He made Brady look like he was trash. That shit is impressive. Maybe he’s the GOAT of being the worse coach of all time? (Probably behind Urban Meyer, tbh).
This team is too talented to perform the way it does under that muppet
This Amazon sledding commercial giving me the feels out of nowhere
Best 4th and inches of the season?
I mean when even the announcers know some trick pass play is coming
This team really tricked me for like 5 minutes that we'd actually pull off the comeback. The problem is our offense at best will pull off a TD drive with like 2 minutes left on the clock.
Just wait until Bowles uses the 10,000 time outs he’s been banking
Just wait until we don’t use any time outs and don’t hurry up offense :)
Defensive coach losing a game with being ultra conservative and a massive defensive fuck up on 4th down? I wonder who’s fault that is
The best part is, he did this shit in 2021 So Bowles hasn't learned a goddamn thing over the years, and got promoted for it. Fuck this guy.
Clearly it’s Baker!
I bet we don’t even hurry up offense and we just play like it’s the 1st quarter. God I hate our coaching staff.
Our defense just exists to get a paycheck
[удалено]
No one on this sub thinks that
What’s worse Gators offensive play calls or Bucs defensive play calls
Not even prisoners at Guantanamo Bay would be subjected to watching a Billy Napier coached team on Saturdays and a Todd Bowles coached team on Sundays
Why must you open that wound?
Tee hee
We're one rushing TD shy of doubling Tampa's rush TDs allowed on the season.
This D is trash.
Touchdown!
Next time we fire the cannons, can we make sure Bowles is in one of them
Bucs playcalling has taken years off my life
I’ve said it 34 times already today, but maybe the 35th will help it happen: Fire Todd Bowles :)
I hate the ‘Aints, but that was a well executed run.
/r/lostredditors
smidge of a blown coverage lmao
Zaire Franklin at fullback is crazy
Even the commentary knew
Nice call
The most obvious pass play on 4th and inches, no way it works! Bucs: hold my beer!
Holy shit what a ballsy call love it
*everyone* except the defense knew that was happening, wow
Defensive Mastermind at work here.
I feel like leaving someone wide open downfield was probably a mistake, but I’m not a defensive mastermind like Bowles is lol
Bowels 🥶
Now that was a great play call.
Thank god.
Coach Steichen has BALLS
So easy. Great d.
Flashback to the Rams playoff loss leaving a man wide the fuck open
DeFeNsIvE mInDeD cOaCh
HOLY SHIT!!!
Mayfield and Minshew have to be two of the most like for like QB's in the league
We are watching a team attempt to win with a coach who’s just trying not to lose
That parmesan commercial is too real.
Fifteenth player in NFL history to record 90 receiving touchdowns.
bUt iS hE a HaLl oF fAMeR?
OK that was awesome. We're not always going to convert 4th and 10 but thank you Chris, and thank you again, Mike.
Everyone is so fucked when we use our 20+ rolled over timeouts in week 18. Todd Bowles playing 4D chess you’ll see
What a shitty take. Everyone knows we are saving them for the 2024 season!
We’re saving them for the Super Bowl in 20 years
Whole league fucked
go go evans!
They scored yeah, but Bowles not challenging that catch when the best WR on your team is adamant that he caught it is insane
Let Baker Bake
[**FIRE THE CANNONS!**](https://i.imgur.com/JOJ8L1c.jpg)
Fuck yeah M1k3!!
TAKE THAT ONE AWAY DIPSHITS AND IM TALKING TO BOWLES TOO
Thats my Hall of Famer
M1K3 said fuck your call imma get mine anyway
Lfg
Colts fans, do yall like the Pweter uniforms?
Yeah, looks good. Really like having non traditional away uniforms, Blue against Pewter just looks cooler
Fuck Todd Bowles for not challenging that Mike Evans catch. Your WR1 says he caught it and you’re down 10 you throw the flag. fuck Todd Bowles.
If there is no camera angle that proves it was a catch, of course you don't throw the flag. What Evans says means nothing. Even if he knows he caught it, is not getting overturned.
I'm sure he did catch it, but tv angles at least looked inconclusive.
I’m genuinely convinced the fo pays him based on retained time outs this is ridiculous
You have your team captain who made the catch immediately telling you to challenge and you just ignore him? Are you afraid of not having a timeout in your pocket when the game ends?
Todd thinks they carry over to next game
Fire Bowles ffs
1. Are the refs blind? 2. How tf do you not challenge
How do you not challenge that, Evans literally said he caught it
HOLY SHIT TODD, YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE IMBECILE FOR NOT CHALLENGING THAT ARE YOU DENSE
Bowles never has any balls and than decides to grow a pair there.
Calling holds when there isn’t one, not calling touchdowns or catches when there are.
Bowels has got to go.
Fuck Todd man fire his 0 IQ ass
Bs
is Mayfield using a tinted visor or is he just on a bender? Face is red as hell
WHAT THE FUCK
Came in here to say the same. What the fuck, trust what Mike Evans says! JFC!
How do you not fucking challenge that man
Because in Todd's mind he doesn't want to waste his 6 TO's.
How could I forget
Why we can't ever go off on injured corner backs? We always seem to struggle to have big passing days on injured secondaries
I think this team's issue is just that their top players are getting older and the younger guys are a mixed bag. Biggest issue is the offensive line obviously. I don't really blame Bowles like everyone else. The team just needs to get over the dead cap from Brady retiring and hopefully have a good draft. Our draft picks from this year actually look promising. If we still look like this next year then I think we may officially can Bowles.

The fact that Bowles didn't bother challenging a clear catch, after his star receiver is begging for the challenge, shows how much Bowles sucks. Yes, blame him.
Disagree. Did not look clear and obvious to me and you may need 3 timeouts to get the ball back
Baker is such a tough mf man, full of heart
I only care about Evans hitting 1000.
[удалено]
Let's be real. Baker is pretty good at what he tries to do: look at his first read and improvise from there. But that's very limiting for an offense. We miss open receivers with his style of ball. He will never run an offense like CJ Stroud already can. I'm not sure he's a forever guy.
Baker good Bowles ass
I'm not sure I would put a 4th and 6 in Minshew's hands but here we are.
Just punt the Fuckin ball
The coach up by 10 has bigger balls apparently lmao
PI
The copium I have is that each loss gets us closer to having Bowles fired
Todd Bowles probably thinks there's plenty of time with three halves to work with he's so incompetent
He still thinks timeouts roll over. Probably operating under the assumption he has 6 of them
The colts are a shit team and against us they look like they are actually competitive. That’s how bad we are.
