There are about 100,000 folks from Wisconsin who have relocated/retired to the west coast of Florida. I have no problem with them being all giddy here in Tampa Bay with their Brewers a win away from their first World Series. Also, I know of ZERO Floridians that have ever retired to Milwaukee. Lol

This is actually borderline concerning. Flag comes out AFTER the TD and from the Deep Official?? Line Judge has perfect look and lets it go. This is an insanely bad call and cost the Jaguars 7 points. Completely changes the game. @NFLOfficiating this is becoming a game integrity issue.
#Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten just lost a TD because the refs called Brenton Strange for holding on a play he didn't hold. 🤦‍♂️

AN ALL-TIME BAD CALL: #Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten just had a touchdown wiped off the board after the refs called TE Brenton Strange for holding on a play where he appeared to do nothing wrong. The next play Houston picked off Jacksonville. Unbelievable 😳

Couple of things that upset me about this A) it’s not holding. He chops his arm down and he lost his balance B) this is very important. Holding is only supposed to be called if it could effect the play. The DE is double teamed and the ball is gone at the time of the “holding”. He’s nowhere near the QB. Just an all time bad call. It’s an official looking to be part of the game.
This was the holding call that brought back FSU's miracle catch in the end zone... Did they make the right call?

The Bucs are 0-3, Raymond James Stadium is empty, the future is bleak. Job well done by Todd Bowles, Jason Licht and the Glazers. Pathetic.

Here’s where all of the other SEC teams land if you remove SEC-affiliated voters: 1. Texas 2. UGA 4. Ole Miss 8. Bama 10. LSU 14. Tennessee 19. Missouri 21. Florida 24. Mississippi State
Interesting Thursday facts: If you remove the SEC-affiliated voters from the AP Poll, Texas A&M moves UP a spot to #22.

Todd Bowles is a .500 football coach. His teams lack fire, discipline and an identity. He had Tom Brady at quarterback and still couldn’t get it done. We’ve seen enough. There are no more excuses and nothing left to prove. It’s time for a change in Tampa Bay. #FireBowles

The three straight division titles: 2022: 8-9 (with Brady) 2023: 9-8 (carried by offense) 2024: 10-7 (literally had best offense and play caller in franchise history) It has also been the worst division in the NFL for the past 5 years.
Bucs coach Todd Bowles has not yet met with the Glazer family about his future but said “I’ve earned the chance. I’ve won three straight division titles so that says at lot as far as I’m concerned.”

Todd Bowles won’t win you a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay. Bringing him back is closing the window on all the talent Jason Licht has put on this roster. The franchise will return to the basement. You will waste Baker’s prime years left.

IF Todd Bowles DOES survive It will be because the Glazers don’t love any of the other candidates I think Josh Grizzard is gone no matter what I think Special Team’s coach Thomas McGaughey is gone no matter what I also think Todd is forced to hire a DC Time will tell….
