***OFFICIAL Buccaneers @ Saints Game Day Thread!***

[Seamen]

Did Payton seriously just ice the kicker?

He really wants to stick it to us

[Wesmon]

Does Dirk even make it to the end of the season at this point?

Let's be honest...why should he?

I think the only thing stopping that is who the hell we make the interim head coach?

[murdock]

Let's be honest...why should he?

There are many that have thought that we need to have consistency after all the recent regime changes here.. I'm not on that bandwagon. I'd love to see Matt Patricia given a chance here.. someone who has been in a winning environment for a long time

[BucaRican]

F icing the kicker down by 27 was it really smart?

[deltbucs]

Did Payton seriously just ice the kicker?

It worked

Yeah...No ****. I've just never seen a coach ice a kicker in a situation like that.

[Jason Bourne]

Did Payton seriously just ice the kicker?

Yep..

30-3 and Payton is still pissed at the fiasco with Evans

[Nano]

They do this with Fitz but not with Winston?

Yes because just like you Winston is slow. He has functional mobility but he's not a scrambler or a guy you want running the ball much.

Yup, plus remember that Ryan Fitzpatrick's beard ran a 4.2 at the combine

[LavonteDavid54]

When it's all said and done, how come the owners don't get as much blame? We've been toiled in a losing, what can go wrong- will go wrong environment for most of the last decade and half( few winning seasons couple 9-7 one 10-6 n no playoffs!!) They do the hiring of the " GM" who hires the HC etc etc. They enjoy the profit sharing check, but doing at the expense of die hard fans, probably 2nd most loyal behind Cleveland.We just don't get seen national, and don't have the numbers of Pitt, Dal , etc but we deserve better Glazers!!!

[IronDog]

Does Dirk even make it to the end of the season at this point?

I doubt it , could be sooner that that tho

Can't say I'd be too surprised if he didn't make it back to Tampa

[Cheb]

Gholston taken off in an ambulance. Well ****.

You know, Baker may not be blowing up the stat sheet, but he's been playing well. Good effort here.

[MJW]

Maybe he sees the writing on the wall and sees he team cannot be saved

He seems like he knows it’s over in Tampa

Some coordinators should stay coordinators. It's that simple. See Norv Turner, Wade Phillips, etc. We have a strategist trying to lead men and it's not happening.

[Nano]

Damn, just saw the Evans/Winston thing. I can see Evans getting suspended. Possibly Winston too

[Seamen]

I don't know how this team can show their face in Tampa...

[DanTurksGhost]

Let's be honest...why should he?

I think the only thing stopping that is who the hell we make the interim head coach?

Obviously Mike Smith, despite the poor play on defense. He's the one who has good experience as a HC in this league.

[Cheb]

You're probably right.

I was walking the dog, so I obviously didn't watch it in real time, but how is Lattimore not penalized for taunting? He's verbally engaging with injured players on the opponent's sideline. I don't get that.

[Jason Bourne]

Damn, just saw the Evans/Winston thing. I can see Evans getting suspended. Possibly Winston too

They should be

[Miller4Prez64]

Damn, just saw the Evans/Winston thing. I can see Evans getting suspended. Possibly Winston too

What happened? I'm not watching this train wreck.

[Super K]

Agreed...

[IronDog]

As long as he gets another DC. Cause his performance to date is abysmal.

[Wesmon]

So now the team has completely imploded under three of the last four head coaches. Not a very good sell for coaching candidates.

[Super K]

He'd only be the placeholder until season's end..

Then his ass will be gone too..

[Nano]

Winston is pointing towards the field while Lattimore is walking near. While pointing, Winston goes up and pokes Lattimore in the head, which cause Lattimore to shove Winston away angrily. Then Evans comes out of nowhere and shoves Lattimore from behind to the ground and starts punching his head. It was fucked up...almost looked planned

I have said this since last year ....

[murdock]

I don't know how this team can show their face in Tampa...

Oh they'll show their face and it'll be the same ole show... "Im tired of losing man", "gotta work harder" "we'll play better next week"

Like a robbery?

[Cheb]

Was Donovan Smith injured or was he benched? Cuz he sure isn't playing.

[Cheb]

Fitz throws it into triple coverage to Evans.

Do our quarterbacks even read defenses? Fucks' sake.

[tjax03]

Dirk is just about finished... Winston will get a chance to prove himself to the next coach, but that will not go well given his accuracy issues.

New beginning next year... again.

A truly good headcoach will coach to his strengths not his weaknesses like koetter does.

[Bootz2004]

Knee injury

[DanTurksGhost]

Was Donovan Smith injured or was he benched? Cuz he sure isn't playing.

That's true even when he's on the field.
