Bucs fans are fed up after another embarrassing loss
After a dramatic comeback win in Week 13, you might think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had built up some hope within their fan base as they look ahead to a potential playoff berty.
After Sunday’s 35-7 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers, it’s safe to say that if they had indeed gained any positive momentum among the fans, it’s quickly disappeared.
Tampa Bay trailed 28-0 at halftime, despite facing a rookie seventh-round draft pick at quarterback in Brock Purdy, while Tom Brady and the Bucs offense kept up their season-long struggles.
As the clock expired on Sunday’s crushing defeat, Bucs fans started to air their frustrations on social media:
This has to be the most underperforming team of all time

Still waiting/hoping/praying for the “we’ve fired todd Bowles” news. Happy to let go of Byron too. Team will be better without bad coaches. We won’t win a playoff game with this staff, let’s rip off the bandaid now.

Also I turned it off when it hit 35-0. That hurt. Haven’t done that in a while

Like I just watched a @Buccaneers game from the late 80s to the early 90s.

Feeling pretty good that we’ll have the number 1 pick next year if nothing changes in the off-season

Bowles and Leftwich don’t have it in em. Wasting a Brady year. Gonna suck to look back on it

I thought we’d back into the playoffs because the NFCS was so soft. Now, I don’t even think that. I think Panthers take it.

Same. Bowles has destroyed a playoff caliber team. No fire, terrible execution. Lucky for him, his friend gifted him his last HC gig.

That was awful. Fire Bowles, fire Leftwich. Anything would be better than this. Most disappointing team I’ve ever been a fan of.

I'm fine. Not the worst Bucs game I've witnessed
— BlackDad Who Laughs (@runupchimneys) December 12, 2022
Feeling is you can't bring Bowles after this year. Also the team is who they are at this point, they might host a playoff game but, it will be an early exit. Like I said though. No way you can bring Bowles back.

Ready for a change in the off season

I don't feel any different than I did before this game. Was hoping we'd snap outta this funk but it's just not meant to be.

1. I was prepared for what that was and wasn't surprised. That being said, it still sucked.
2. Bowles and Leftwich absolutely have to go.— Greg (@gp76_Tampa) December 12, 2022
I really have a hard Time caring anymore…. We had a chance to compete this year but it's being blown on coaches that should not be in the position to lead this team…..
Waste of a year and waste of a year with the best qb to ever play the game.. Just unacceptable

Honestly, I’d rather miss the playoffs entirely than win a lousy division only to lose by 20 to the cowboys in the wild card. Heck, if losing out means drastic changes, sign me up. This coaching staff is a total disaster.
— A.J. (@aj_c21) December 12, 2022
Bowles has ruined this team. He needs to be fired. No coach has done less with this level of talent. His team and game management has choked the life out of the team.

Numb and emotionless like Todd Bowles
