Bucs have averaged 32.4 points in their last five games, but are 1-4 in that stretch. How rare is that? In NFL history, there are 826 times a team has scored 162+ points in a 5-game span. Of those 826, just three managed only 1 win: 2024 Bucs: 1-4 | 2019 Bucs: 1-4 |1983 Chiefs: 1-4

The 2019 stretch was wild and it was part of Winston’s 30-30 season
There was even one extra game where we scored lots of points and lost.
In a row:
31-32 Loss vs Giants
55-40 Win @Rams
24-31 Loss @Saints
26-37 Loss in London vs Panthers
Bye week
23-27 Loss @Titans
34-40 (after OT) Loss @Seahawks
(and we continued scoring tons of points that year after this Seahawks game – 30, 17, 35, 28, 38, 38, 20, 22 to end the season)
Defensive Coordinator that year? Todd Bowles (ok, this is not that serious, it’s a stat mostly for Winston’s INTs and TDs rather than Bowles being horrible but…)
I tend to give Bowles some leeway but holy moly it is an indictment of him that the only two modern era teams that have done this had their defense called by him. Injuries have been a big part of this season’s slump because of Dean and especially Dennis being out. Does anyone remember if we had significant injuries during that 2019 slump?
Defensive mastermind!
I give him a pass with all the injuries.
Big oooooooof
It literally is a Bucs life
Shouldn’t be coaching. Saleh was canned for less and his defense was good. Were wasting our offenses prime despite the injuries
Chin up guys, we’re having a historic season! This one’s gonna go down in the history books
That because their defense is TRASH
I keep seeing Saleh get tossed out there as the next DC and I’d be all for that, but what about Eburflus? Clearly can’t cut it as a HC, hired a horrible OC, but the defense is undeniably good and it’s not like they’ve got an all star cast. I’d be ecstatic if we’ve got Liam as HC and Saleh or Flus as DC next year.

An average defense and we have 6-7 wins
Bucs are the new 2010s New Orleans Saints.
