Bucs Lose To Colts; Todd Bowles’ Seat Is Broiling
The Buccaneers struggled in most phases of today’s 27-20 loss to Indianapolis. At least Kyle Trask threw a nice incomplete pass.
Did Todd Bowles’ team look physical, hungry and on point? Absolutely not. And what are the excuses for that? There are none.
After today’s humbling and somewhat embarrassing lost to a barely average Colts team in Indianapolis, Bowles’ Bucs are now 4-7 and losers of six of their last seven games. In simple terms, they stink.
The defense looked sluggish and the backups didn’t deliver what was needed. Heck, Vita Vea didn’t get on the stat sheet and Devin White reminds Joe of Mason Foster with bad back. Nearly everything looks difficult for the Tampa Bay offense. The special teams aren’t special. And Bowles continues to say the team is close.
It can’t continue.
Bucs coaches have been fired for less and Bowles is crusing at 80 miles per hour toward that fate unless the Bucs can deliver a heroic turnaround to this season. From 3-1 to 4-7, damn.
As usual, Team Glazer was in attendance today. Joe watched Ed Glazer and Joel Glazer conference on the field before the game, and Joe also saw Joel Glazer in deep discussion with Jason Licht. Bryan Glazer had an animated pregame chat with Licht, too.
Perhaps that was all about stock picks and whatever super rich guys talk about, but it might have been about setting up an emergency Monday meeting if the Bucs continued down the dark path Bowles has led them.
Sad day for Bucs fans.
