Who deserves the biggest share of blame for the Bucs’ struggles?
After the most successful two-year run in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history, the 2022 season was supposed to be another star-studded opportunity to make one more Super Bowl run with Tom Brady at the helm.
Instead, the Bucs are currently sitting at 3-4 after back-to-back losses to two of the worst teams in the NFL, and seemingly no answers for what ails them on both sides of the ball.
Sunday’s 21-3 loss to the Carolina Panthers was a new low, as the Bucs looked completely inept against a team that appeared to be going into full tank mode after firing head coach Matt Rhule and trading away star running back Christian McCaffrey.
So, who deserves the lion’s share of the blame for Tampa Bay’s struggles this season?
We asked, and the fans answered:
Bowles. He and leftwich hey s lot but overall he is the leader and has to take accountability. But it's all over, most players too

Coaching to start, the “leaders” of the team for allowing the players to remain flat and have no accountability

Leftwich's play calling and Todd's overall decision making and leadership

the coaching staff. BA left bowels i. charge and Leftwich. they failed in his absence. the team has vets that have been here since super bowl and they are falling apart. what’s change? the coaching staff.

The entire coaching staff.

Pretty much everyone. We’re out played, under prepared, and terribly undisciplined.
We also managed to break Tom Brady.

Bryon, Todd and BA for giving up the one year too early knowing that this staff was not ready for this year

Coaching. There is no leadership on this team.

Brady is checked out. My guy doesn’t want to be there. Doesn’t want to get hit behind a shoddy o line.

Unpopular opinion: The Arians offense is outdated but Bruce was able to make it work with a great oline, AB and Gronk.

Arians and Brady. Brought instability
— RaysMF (@gatrmf47) October 24, 2022
Bad play calling, injured and unprepared O-line, Hurt wide recievers, Hurt secondary, Fournette looks washed, Brady has been inaccurate, Hurt TE, The defense creates no turnovers, Darden sucks at returning kicks. The punter is the only consistent on the team. Everything is bad
