TODD BOWLES BLEW IT | Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fan Reaction to losing to the Kansas City Chiefs

47 comments

1. Chiefs being 12/18 on third down is a horrific stat for the Bucs defense…how do you allow a 67% conversion rate on 3rd down

2. I look at it this way, If Bowles gets fired Liam Coen will be HC. I already hear Aints media talking about him as their HC

3. You're my therapy after our losses

4. Buca fana always put it on bowels when Baker is the one throwing 5 interceptions a game. 😂

5. If we have Mike Evans and Chris Godwin we beat them no doubt

6. Old guy here. I’ve felt for the last week this was a trap game for the Chiefs. Missing 2 best WRs, I think everybody thought this would be an easy win, a 28-13 type score. I just a feeling TB would fight and be competitive because of Baker. I felt that TB ran the ball pretty well and were offensively in rhythm. TB defense had 3 sacks in the 1st half, and kept thinking, “how are they getting so much pressure with just 4 guys?” KC was blitzing and couldn’t get the pressure they needed. I thought KC was sort of flat on defense and kind of sloppy on offense. Worthy should have scored a TD, but couldn’t get his feet right, and it was an incomplete pass. KelCE fumbled right before half, which could have led to a FG.
   I thought for sure once TB punted with under 3 minutes to play, KC would take control, run down the clock, and either finish off the game, or force TB to burn all 3 timeouts. I felt KC really mismanaged that possession.
   They won the game when they got the ball first in OT. Got to agree with you, I don’t like the OT setup. KC was just methodical in that extra period, but credit TB. I thought they played very hard and were competitive. I do agree with you on that last TD. Why didn’t Bowles go for 2?? I don’t know his reasoning. Maybe he thought he would take his chances that they could win the coin toss.
   I hope you do more breakdown on this game tomorrow.

7. The people who claim it’s rigged for the chiefs, are always super locked in looking for any potential flag against or for the chiefs. If you people start being more observant you would know every team gets that benefit. When the jets faced the Steelers their were holding on tj and Alex highsmith and I would have not blamed losing because of that 🤣

8. Let’s be honest if he went for it and they didn’t get it most buccaneers fans would be shitting on the decision as well. I think it was a good call to do it, just feeling out that situation in the game I didn’t feel like they were gonna get it

9. I like listening to your takes and recaps cuz they’re always sensible and level-headed, love the channel

10. I think the Warfs non existent face mask change the game, they had all momentum about to get a TD they called the bs call and they didn’t get 7, I think that changed the game and momentum

    But I mean refs helping the chiefs what’s new 🤷🏻‍♂️

11. Disappointing loss, but for Bucs fans, there is a silver lining. You nearly beat the Chiefs with your top two WR’s out. You got a winnable game against the 49ers next week, and if you can get the W, you’ll be 5-5 going into your bye week with a favorable schedule the rest of the way. I wouldn’t lose hope

12. I'm somewhat confused you Bruce fans actually thought you win this game. But nice try, better luck next time.

13. Make Liam the HC and Robert Saleh the DC

14. Bills need to get that run defense tightened up and beat this pos chiefs team .

15. Jackson loves mahomes more than romo. Huge mahomes "fathead" just off camera .

16. Going for two was the obvious choice. I see comments saying all this about the defense blowing it, but you don’t give a team in the midst of a dynasty the chance to control their own fate. Bucs were the underdogs, you can’t act like you’re on even playing field in OT. Makes no sense

17. 3 Rule changes need to be implemented in the NFL asap!

    1) You should be able to challenge ANY play or call/no call including penalties!
    Call it a Super Challenge (or whatever) but you only get 1 per half.

    2) Get rid of holding all together for the Offensive lineman! They hold on pretty much every play already, but a flag seems to negate big plays ALL THE TIME!!

    3) A offensive fumble that goes into & out (untouched) of the endzone which results in a touchback & turnover! Think : Browns and Chiefs 2021 Divisional Playoff Game.

    Edit: I missed the obvious one‐ Change the OT rules ffs!! We've lost twice in OT without the offense ever getting a chance bc our defense is not that good.

18. Hire Belichick as HC, fire or demote Bowles to DC.

19. The PATRIOTS declined the 2 pt play in the end of regulation too and LOST in O.T. Play to win Mayo!!

20. Coin toss yes, no call on the false start is unacceptable

21. We beat niners and win out? 😮😅🎉we deserve it after the heartbreaking losses this season

22. The refs didn’t lose us the game, but you back them up with that horrible false start no matter what. They called crap on us, back them up and make them prove it or lose it and kick for 3. Period.

23. By now you must have realized this Chiefs team with its continuity and HOF greatness at crucial positions know how to win close games. Every week it's another fanbase lamenting how close it was, no sht its the NFL. It's going to come down to seconds and inches, which is why we love this game. If team A did this and did that, team A would have won! No one considers if team B had another play go their way, team B would have won by even more. It's all about KC right now and these teams holding Ls are footnotes.

24. We should fire the HC next seasons

25. Todd bowles and the refs can suck a d

26. All things equal the defense will tend to tire faster as they do more of the "chasing". So at the time of the last point-after, the Bucs had a brief advantage. But in actuality the Chiefs were just playing with the Bucs. Good game though. Wish Mike Evsns around to make it even more interesting.

27. Definitely rock, paper and scissors are better than the coin toss.

28. Here he go blaming todd bowles again…..no evans or godwin and still went toe to toe with the chiefs in overtime

29. Thanks for being level headed about the refs. I know people are frustrated seeing the chiefs win a lot, and we get calls from time to time just like any team, but seeing people honest to god act like there's a deep state cabal helping the chiefs win football games so Taylor Swift can sell more COVID Vaccines is just so god damn frustrating

30. I was amazed they made it that close without their two top wr

31. Double Hopkins double Kelce stack the box against hunt, two high shell against Worthy? They don't get 16 guys

32. Chiefs are nfls darling team like the patriots were no way chiefs don’t make superbowl the next 6 yrs in a row

33. This is why TODD BOWLES sucks, he has no heart! No Emotion, said it didn’t come down to a 2 pt try. YES it Did! You’re on the road with a chance to beat the undefeated Chiefs on their home field. You go for two!!!!!!!

34. Screw the chiefs. So sick of that team.

35. The refs help the Chiefs to be undefeated every week.

36. I really think they should have gone for two. I knock Bowles for a log of things, but I don't think you can knock him for that.

37. Bucs shoulda went for 2! Show some Gumption!

38. I also felt like the Bucs should’ve gone for 2 at the end for the win. Yeah, it would’ve sucked if they didn’t get it, but at least they would’ve showed some aggression and went out on their terms. Taking the Chiefs into overtime with their OT history just seems like a death sentence at this point. And FFS, why does Baker always have to choose tails?! Smh lol

39. Hard fought game in not so nice weather. I'll use an old cliche, the Bucs are a better team than their record reflects. I thought this was going to be the Chiefs first loss. Guess thats why I'm a football fan and not an analyst. Looks like writing that check for D Hop was a good investment for KC. Is Tod Bowles like Mike Tomlin, fireproof ?

40. Comment section absolutely losing it 😂

41. Can I just point out the Chiefs were the only team to vote against the OT rules?

    This is on your teams head.

42. Watched the game and I put the loss squarely on Todd Bowles. When they scored with 30 seconds left and went for one point, I told my brothers, "Just like Atlanta, he is going to rely on his defense, they won't deliver, and they will give up a TD to lose the game." They lost the coin toss, KC drove the length of the field and punched it in, and the game was over. Why Todd Bowles thought this would end any differently is beyond me.The defense had trouble stopping KC all game, and only a couple of turnovers kept the Bucs in it because KC was making third down almost 100 percent of the time – at one point did it 13 times in a row. Todd lives and dies by his defense and trusts them to win a game more than the offense which he won't give them a chance to win the game. Especially when the defense is giving up over 30 points three games in a row – all losses. It is why Dan Campbell and Detroit is wining. He has guts and goes for the win and not for overtime. Todd Bowles is not that and he will rely on the defense which will lose games for the rest of the year. If OT comes again watch the same decision making happen.

43. What’s wild is the nfc north (and my packers) are so strong a ten win team heck even an eleven win team could miss the post season.

44. Former Buccaneers Christian Watson did his thing coming off to practice squad🎉 😅#gobucs

45. It's a catch 22…damned if he does, damned if he don't.

46. It’s almost like football players and coaches don’t watch football. They have to live in their own world. Maholmes beat the bills with 14 seconds left and the Bucs are trying to give the chiefs 30 seconds with 3 timeout? Then they don’t go for 2 with a terrible defense and an offense that was able to score 24 points without your 2 best weapons. Todd Bowles was never going to win this game. He’s terrible

47. i assumed theyd go for two and they didnt. We need to reset next year.
