Opi Okapi

It’s okay Coach. Next season starts now. You’ll find the Superbowl soon. Keep grinding. Everything will always be okay at the end of the day. πŸ’—πŸ§Έ

    we’ll see about that. All the other teams think similar πŸ™‚

Steve Smith

Fought back like true champions but lady luck wasn’t on our side. Congrats to the Rams they deserved it. Hope Tom comes back for one last ride. If not and he retires from the NFL then so do I.

    Raansu

    @Andhra Robbed : No he hasn’t.

    Andhra Robbed

    @Raansu he tweeted cryptic in his TB12sports Twitter handle which gives the sense he is coming back…He can’t directly say I’m coming back without knowing what the franchise wants to do. A winning season is different than losing season.

    Chris Shook

    @Andhra Robbed he’s not going to play for the Bucs in 2022 if he plays. The Titans are going to be looking for a new QB and TB12 is going to team up with a real coach in Mike Vrable.

    jason X

    @Andhra Robbed He retired its over .

    Andhra Robbed

    @jason X yea a bit sad but what an illustrious career…we want to see him play forever, but yea there is an end for it and can’t ask for more… Have a happy retirement GOAT🐐

Kendon Fignar

I really can’t understand the blitz when you need personnel to cover Kupp who is the best receiver in the league. If it was supposed to be a bigger blitz then I understand, but still, I would prefer to play it safe and contain them on their side of the field.

    Ryan Gerrity

    Thank you, this is like football 101. WTH were they thinking running blitz man to man in that situation?

    Kendon Fignar

    @Ryan Gerrity I would be fine with the play if they pressured with 5 because they did have Stafford on the ropes, but Kupp is the best receiver in the league right now and he should never be in man to man single coverage. This is all hindsight for us now though, with the momentum they had in the moment, a blitz would seem like a good idea because the Rams were reeling.

    @Kendon Fignar definitely agree it’s on Bowles. Don’t agree to be fired he’s done great till that call.

    Christopher Dunn

    Dumbest call in NFL history. Bar none… Arians found a way to lose.

    Florida cracker

    @Christopher Dunn I’d say it was more Bowles than Arians. He’s going to be back this year, Bowles has interviews trying to get a head coaching job. He wants to get started now rather than 3 weeks from then.

Carter Reese

Great season for the Bucs! Love you guys

Jay Alastair 888

Today was tough but all I can say is GO BUCSSSSSSS🏈πŸ”₯

a_collection_of_cells

I’m very happy to share this season with all my fellow Buccaneers friends. Unfortunately things didn’t go our way this yr. Hopefully next season can be a different ending with Tampa Bay holding the Lombardi trophy ✌

    Grayson Arnold

    @Carlomany Music don’t be toxic

    Joshua T

    Yep I’m a Brady stan he’s the goat 🐐 imo and honestly he has 7 rings no player will ever do that again literally ever and Brady being the man he is and being humble kind caring etc is way he wins he sacrificed everything for wins and no player ever does that to the level Tom does and he took bucs on the road beat 3 teams on there field and beat mahomes Chiefs to break the record and win on home field and they got the best Superbowl ring ever imo so I felt Brady should have retired after the win last year imo so without Shaq and that defense staying together I don’t think Brady can lead them to another super bowl honestly unless they can build another beast defense and add some better offense players? Then Brady is going to retire imo

    Hilawe Tesfa

    @Carlomany Music Instead of resorting to frivolous, cruel comments, be better.

    Carlomany Music

    @Grayson Arnold πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ‘

    Carlomany Music

    @Hilawe Tesfa is time to see a new QB on the super ball, let the old men walk away.

J J

Tough loss. Tough Tough loss. But super proud of how hard they fought until the very end. We got a chip last year. We were a few plays away this year from getting to the NFC Championship game. I hope Brady plays one more year for us. If not, I’ll forever be grateful for his time with the Bucs!

    Chris Shook

    He should go play with Vrable in Tennessee.

Bradyn Huey

why do we drop back the whole game but when the games on the line and they’re gonna go deep to the TRIPLE crown king we don’t even have one person back deep we had the game in our hands bruhhhhhh

    nomibe2911

    Especially how bad the DBs were all game for Tampa. Why would you trust a safety on a one on one with Cooper Kupp? Why not play safe on that last play?

Dan Regan

Thank you Bucs for the great run. Time to start planning for next season. Don’t retire Mr.Brady you still are the greatest. Rest up over the off season, enjoy your family and let’s try it all again in August.

    Craig Theisen

    WORD!

craig brown

I respect Todd Bowles but why bring a blitz and leave Cooper Kupp one on one with a safety?…the Rams had no time outs and their kicker just missed a 40 something yrd field goal earlier in the quarter….make them drive

    whiterider

    The world may never know..

    J D

    WHY DO YOU RESPECT TODD BOWLES?!!? He makes every single QB look awesome. He even made Jared Goff look all-Universe?!? WHY OH WHY DO PEOPLE THINK TODD BOWLES CAN COACH?!?!?!

    hoodaffairstv

    @whiterider πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    brandonchurch1983

    I with you. Definitely appreciate that defense given the offense multiple chances in the second half…. But it’s like 30 seconds getting ready to play for overtime why sell out I don’t get it

The Dark Knight

I was having Deja vu to SB against Falcons. This was 27-3 late 3rd quarter, like 28-3 late 3rd quarter. No Gronk in that SB, no Godwin here. Was expecting OT and Brady win it on first possession with a TD. But like all day, secondary let Kupp run wild downfield.. the one guy they should’ve double teamed on that drive and on the 3rd down and 20 that turned into a 75 yard TDπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Bucs had two opportunities to take a FG attempt but turned it over on downs. Bad coaching all day! Terrible penalties! Brady just proved again why he’s the undisputed GOAT! πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ

    Mahes Kumaar Ra

    The coaching has to get better if we need to beat the Rams and Saints.

Go TazR

Unbelievably indefensible call by Bowles at the end, waste of a comeback.

    Phaze Laser

    how is it indefensible? it is a common in this scenario especially when the QB was rattled a play earlier.. it just wasnt executed well

    Donnie Trussel

    @Phaze Laser please go read Tony Dungy’s twitter post. He criticizes this last play call as well. And there’s a ton of replies agreeing to why it was a horrible call…

    Go TazR

    @Phaze Laser No one in their right mind should blitz, there’s absolutely nothing to gain unless he turns the ball over, which is highly unlikely. They should be playing for OT

    J D

    @One Snap And Gone OH WHAT BS. That pass D was ranked 17th last season. Weak sauce. They just got hot at the end.

    Christopher Dunn

    @Phaze Laser Go look at the stats…Matthew Stafford is the best in the league against the blitz. We blitzed him 16 times…he went 15/16 150 yards and a touchdown. Our blitzes weren’t doing anything but making Stafford play better.

Joel Luongo

This Game Should Have Absolutely Went To Over Time!!! This Was A Choke!!! Brady Deserves Better Than This.. Bowles Choked This Game.. He Is Done In My Book. Send Him Back To New York.

    J D

    Bowles is horrible. Unfortunately in today’s NFL black coaches are immune to any criticism or accountability. Look what happened when Miami fired a sub-500 coach.

    Kaelan Bradford

    I’m irritated w/ Bowles too but no need to bring race into it dude…

WDtip VR

To make it this far with all the injuries all year was impressive.

Karl Loucks

I can’t say enough about Tom …simply the best ever . I hope and pray he comes back….

    djsmigs

    Me too! I’m not ready to see the nfl without him!!

    Roby

    In the end when Tampa lost, I saw the look in his eyes! He is coming back! Ready to bet for it!

    TacticalTech

    Hes coming back. He ain’t going out like that especially after coming off one of the best seasons of his career. He couldn’t live with that…

Jacob Lang

Victory torn away by the defensive coaching staff…. 5 blitz in a row…. a successful throw for 20 yards the play before “going for broke” should have been done at the 2 point vs extra point situation. 40 seconds left and you have a entire field field to make it up and you rush 5 plays in a row play cover 2 cover 3 the whole 40 secs take the OT!!! Stolen but congrats rams

Garson Evans

I love Tom and everything he did for my team all the years we had him. I hope everyone in bucs nation truly appreciates everything he has done and hopefully continues to do for y’all. Because there will never be another Tom Brady. What he has done for so many players and fans throughout his career will never be replicated. This wasn’t his best game. But if it happens to be his last, it was entertaining all the way to the very end. No matter how much time is on the clock or what the deficit is. No one has ever given as much hope for a comeback than him. He inspires the rest of his team to battle. Because they know, no matter how he has played at any point in the game. If they make a play and give him the ball. He’s more than likely going to come through in the clutch moments. The league is in great hands with these new kids out there. But we’ll never see this type of greatness and longevity again. There are all time greats and then there is the GOAT!

    polly v

    he’s overrated IMO. Bucs are stacked

Neal King

An β€œall out blitz” where β€œsome guys didn’t blitz”

So. A clusterfuck πŸ™ƒ

What a brilliant way to waste one the best playoff comebacks ever. Indefensible

    Dion Price

    Lack of discipline….to me

    Christopher Dunn

    Period. Completely Indefensible and it calls his judgment as a whole, into question.

    Troy Moore

    I mean, they gave up a TD on a safe cover 2 by the safety playing cover 3 instead. If players just play the correct coverage things will go better.

Kaelan Bradford

As much as I love Arians, if he doesn’t tell AB to get the f#*# off the field we win this game. And Todd Bowles genius call at the end we already know about. Coaches lost this game unfortunately.

Remington

I have been a Buc fan since 76, born n raised n Tampa Bay. I’ve seen great players in Tampa Bay from the beginning!
But’ their as never been a leader like Mr.TB, I’m so happy he came here to Tampa Bay to play with this Team’ he has seen something in his mind that made sense to come here and Play. Thank you TB, & Gronk for coming here. May your journeys in life be fulfilling as you expect them. Thank you
