Social media reacts to Tampa Bay’s awful loss to the Houston Texans
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took one of the worst losses in the entire NFL on Sunday, and boy, were fans upset about it.
The Bucs had an awful performance against the Texans and allowed Houston to score a go-ahead touchdown with six seconds left on the clock. The offense scored 37 points, but the defense gave up a staggering 496 yards and five touchdowns to rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, and the coaching via playcalling and decision-making across the board by Todd Bowles has been heavily criticized on social media, with most Bucs fans calling for his firing.
Here is what the numerous Bucs fans and neutral observers have to say about Tampa Bay’s embarrassing loss:
One of the most disgusting, embarrassing losses I've ever seen…and y'all know that's saying something w/this team.
If they cleaned house w/the coaching staff tomorrow, it would be deserved.

I know Bucs fans are going to be upset that Tampa's defense let "a rookie quarterback" do this to them, but C.J. Stroud ain't just "a rookie quarterback"
That dude is special

The Bucs have no passion or energy on defense right now. Can’t get off blocks or read the offense to save their life.

Bucs fans can say what they want but bringing JPP back to help rush would make a big difference. Put him in the middle with Kancey or Vita and let the edges rush. It’ll help. Not a bunch of snaps. Just rushing!! WE NEED IT!!

Today’s game is a fireable one. Need to stop with the competing for the division. This team has no direction or discipline from the top to bottom. Starts with coaching and it’s pretty bad right now. Supposed to have a good defensive coach and allow 40 points to a rookie QB. Bad

TODD BOWLES ELECTED TO YSE HIS LAST TIMEOUT WITH :49 SECONDS LEFT INSTEAD OF TAKING A 10 SECOND RUNOFF. THE BUCS SCORED ON THE NEXT PLAY. HORRENDOUS DECISION IN REAL TIME THAT MAY HAVE COST HIS TEAM THE GAME. https://t.co/ZOh9hxharq

NOPE. The Bucs leave Baker hanging. CJ was even more spectacular, throwing his way right down the field for the winning TD. CJStroud: rookie record 476 yards passing. Kid is looking SPECIAL.

Bucs defense should be embarrassed

The loss is fresh so reactions need to be taken with a grain of salt, but the way the Bucs lost that game is a potential back breaker.
A well-coached team doesn’t let that happen, not with the type of talent the Bucs have. This is the sort of loss teams don’t come back from.

FIRE TODD BOWLES!!! DONT EVEN LET HIM GET ON THE PLANE!! LEAVE HIM IN TEXAS!!

I’m gonna need Todd Bowles to explain why he took a timeout instead of a 10-second run-off at 49 seconds knowing that time isn’t an issue for you in a goal to go situation, but is if you score and give it back to the Texans

Time to blow it up. Gut the coach staff, evaluate the talent you have rest of the season. restructure or trade the players with big contract or havent lived up to contract (Dean, Davis maybe Shaq) Let Mike walk and have a chance to win. lock up Wirfs/AWJ. Build around a rookie Qb
