We’re just a little past the halfway point of the BUCS season. It’s been a rude awakening for may fellow BUCS fans. And it’s been a continuous slow and grueling and familiar feeling others.
The emotional rollercoaster of instant reactions on social media is something else. Here’s a look at some of he best and WORST takes from social media so far this season.
Wake up Who Dats! It’s New Orleans Saints Game-day! Time to send old man Brady into early retirement! WHO DAT? ⚜️⚜️⚜️September 18, 2022

Riiiiiiight.
😬 hopefully we will take the win at home against them bc today ain’t looking promisingSeptember 18, 2022
Damn near TWO hours before kickoff in the Week 2 matchup and the game was a lost cause. Optimism isn’t for everyone. BUCS went on to win 20-10.

The offensive woes that just keep woe’ing.
When we lose to the saints, I take it on the chin, watch their fans comment on all my social media…. Well my mentions open “CRY ME A RIVER” 😭🥹September 19, 2022
Devin White & Chris Godwin arguing about 45’s post game comments on Jameis Winston… kind of wild to me to be honest, JW is known for INTs, I don’t think White was out of bounds tbh plus again “(Winston) is on the other team, you wana play -friends- ?”

Bucs have yet to score a first-half touchdown through three games this year. Five field goals is all they have. Scored on four of five drives vs. Dallas in opener, but they've scored on one of eight first-half drives since, not counting kneeldowns at end of half.September 25, 2022
Ugggggghhhhhhh….
I think we've seen the best of the Packers offense today.
The defense will dial in and look different going forward. Pressure and couple more turnovers coming. #PayAttention#GoBucs#GBvsTBSeptember 25, 2022
Defense forced 2 turnovers and GB score another point after this tweet. Unfortunately, the BUCS offense matched them in turnovers and couldn’t find the end zone until the last minute(literally) and failed on a 2-point conversion.

Ugggggghhhhhhh….
Offensively it seems like Leftwich just doesn’t understand the strengths of this unit, or he’s stubbornly trying to be something else until he absolutely has to.
Either way, this coaching staff deserves TONS of flack.
This much talent can’t lead to these results.October 23, 2022
This, too, has been the case for about 4 years running.
Unfortunately #GoBucs won’t fire Leftwich on a short week. We are stuck with him. Bucs will be lucky to be 4-6 at bye weekOctober 23, 2022
Todd Bowles and Byron Leftwich after being the worst head coach and offensive coordinator this season #TBvsCAR pic.twitter.com/mKsRCxJebAOctober 23, 2022
After taking a step back and calming down following the abysmal loss to the Panthers, I still firmly believe Byron Leftwich MUST be fired.
Any offensive coach in the NFL could accidentally lead this team to 21 points. Fuck this 1-page playbook & JV gameplan week-in and week-out.October 24, 2022
……….
Ya’ll remember this? I really can’t say if Leftwich is the one shitting the bed, but I do know that it’s time for something drastic before the season is lost. Who are we putting up on that billboard and when do we start raising funds? @LooseCannonsTB pic.twitter.com/8ju21tgW6qOctober 23, 2022
Clowns doing clown sh*t.
Tell me I’m overreacting. I don’t care. Fire Bowles & Leftwich tomorrow. They’re nice guys, but this is too bad. COMPLETELY unacceptable. It can’t get worse than the last two weeks. We need SPIRIT!!! This team is lethargic trash. #GoBucsOctober 23, 2022
If this Buccaneers team morphs into a Super Bowl contender I’ll get a Byron Leftwich tattoo on my left ass cheekOctober 23, 2022
This one will be interesting in January.
Remember those reports that Brady was annoyed that BA would come in, scrap the gameplan he and Leftwich had worked on and put his own gameplan in instead? Still no idea if the reports were true but if they were... BA might have been onto something there.October 24, 2022
Except Arians was the face of terrible offenses his entire tenure in Tampa too.
Byron Leftwich watched Leonard Fournette gain 0 yards on 3rd and 4th down and decided to call 3 straight plays for him on the next drive.
Wanna guess how many plays that drive lasted?October 23, 2022
Leave both Todd Bowles and Byron Leftwich in Carolina. This team is trash and patheticOctober 23, 2022
Between the Yankees and Bucs. I don’t even wanna watch ESPN this morning 😔October 24, 2022
Seasonal Affective Disorder in FULL EFFECT.
A great time to have a battle for the starting LG position is right in the middle of the season when your team NEEDS to start winning games against good teams. https://t.co/K1mnlD7GcOOctober 24, 2022
Can’t complain about the play and not embrace the change and all it may bring.
Sean Payton in, Todd Bowel Blockage outOctober 25, 2022
The hilarity.
Sayin Todd Bowles being stoic on the sideline is why the players on the field have no energy is the easy way out. He may or may not be a good HC. It has nothing to do with his energy level on the sidelines.
BB and Reid have done fine.
Harbaugh isn't the most animatedOctober 25, 2022
Some logic amongst the foolishness.
Remember the 🐢 wins the race 🏁October 28, 2022
Only if he’s starting. If Goedeke is playing I promise I won’t watch the game because we know what the other elite DT’s have done and no offense to any of those guys but they aren’t Donald https://t.co/Ax2XXYEGcSOctober 31, 2022
Devin White did not have a good game but when I see people on the TL saying Kwon Alexander was better that’s how I know we’re truly down bad as a fanbaseOctober 28, 2022
They turned on Devin White with the quickness. Even though he’s the most productive player on the defense. The #5 ranked defense in the NFL at the time. Because the wins didn’t reflect his and the defense’s efforts. Damn shame!
Devin White is destined for the Kwon Alexander treatment:
Bucs give him a “low ball” offer. He walks. Gets paid. Amounts to nothing.October 28, 2022
Funny that Ryan Smith will probably have a bigger impact than Tyler Johnson.October 31, 2022

How's the run game "going to be fine" when our offense literally has one of the lowest expected run yards per attempt in the NFL? Clearly, it won't just fix itself. Something needs to change in a major way. This statement isn't very reassuring to me that they're looking for a fixOctober 6, 2022
I cant even eat right now, this team disgusts meOctober 16, 2022
Maybe Tom Brady should spend less time at weddings and more time building chemistry with this struggling offense… https://t.co/TYMFebF3ccOctober 16, 2022
We gave a playoff roster to a Head Coach who was 24-40 just because he was buddies with Bruce Arians 🤣 cmon man #FireBowles #FireLeftwichOctober 16, 2022
Can’t believe Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, & PJ Walker have kicked the #GoBucs asses the past 8 quarters of football lol smh.October 24, 2022

Yes. And with Tom Brady, he never got credit for that. And when things aren’t going well…it’s not going to be Tom Brady’s fault. Leftwich knows he will have to wear it. https://t.co/7HZpKkkc4OOctober 24, 2022
As much of a fan as I’ve been of his lately, this season is on Jason Licht. He hired an old defensive coach, didn’t bring in any help with the OL injuries, signed a bunch of old injury prone FAs, and completely bombed the last 2 drafts. The team is a mess now & for the future.October 24, 2022
Jason Licht calling Bruce Arians #GoBucs pic.twitter.com/XwZGDADPujOctober 23, 2022
Nah. I’m good.
Literally the same coaching staff that won a Super Bowl minus Bruce Arians, who still is involved as the assistant to GM Jason Licht. https://t.co/IhamhGAyaKOctober 18, 2022
Jason Licht has been just as bad as the coaching staff this year. Gave dozens of millions to crappers like Gage, Julio and Hicks.October 23, 2022
Scoring is winning, winning is fun. Play calling has become predictable, uncreative. I think it is because of protection concerns, in part. Defence has gotten complacent. I think it takes 3 or more changes: left guard, play calling, and Suh. Maybe edge rusher to balance Shaq BOctober 24, 2022
You may not like it, but accept it:
Gardner Minshew is the best free agent option to replace Tom Brady in 2023. #GoBucs pic.twitter.com/Va1mVYiTRKOctober 24, 2022
Probably one of the WORST takes in recent memory. Just random as hell and WTF’ish.
Please visit your local sports book and throw the 🔨 on Ravens -1...the Bucs have become the laughing stock of the NFL https://t.co/ERuMA1JTn7October 24, 2022
Is this considered jumping ship??
For you don't-run-on-first-down types: Bucs threw the ball on six of first seven first downs Sunday, still never got past the Carolina 40. First half vs. Carolina on first down: four carries, 6 yards; 5-for-9 passing for 33 yards. 13 plays, 39 yards is how you score 0 points.October 24, 2022
This context killing narratives thing is really hurtful to a lot of folks out there.
Tom Brady on 3rd-and-7+
40 attempts, 21 completions, 173 yards, one sack, four first downs. pic.twitter.com/eEvJXZEBhgOctober 24, 2022
No bueno.
Offense is drowning this team, physically & mentally. Injuries, execution, & play calling is death of 1000 cuts.
Brady is locked in but frustrated with all 3.
Leftwich isn't equipped to maximize this offense
The team has the identity of Bowles - dry and boring; unmotivatingOctober 24, 2022
I agree with most of this. However, when mentioning the identity of the team, this is pointing directly to the offense.
I think you gotta bench Devin White, just to make a statement at this point. Dude is one of the most physically gifted LBs and he is consistently out of position, an absolute liability in coverage, and gets stonewalled by any OL who makes contact. Same rookie mistakes.October 25, 2022
More foolishness pointed in the direction of Devin White. ALL because the offense can’t score and thus, the Team wasn’t winnning.
“How did this happen. They’ve completely fallen apart.” @BaldyNFL is right. Don’t look in the mirror. Watch the tape. Undisciplined teams beat themselves. Can almost excuse @zyon_mccollum making his first start. Still can’t get lined up. This is the DEFENSE. https://t.co/AjnZoq3DLJOctober 25, 2022
Bullshit “analyst" being retweeted by attention-seeking reporter?? This whole “look at the defense being imperfect” craziness was just floated out there because the offense couldn’t score or move the ball.
Deflection. Distraction. Denial.
His personality is setting him up for blame and making him eat his words yes. Like I said far from perfect. I agree. If he were quiet like Lavonte no one would say anything but that being said Lavonte being quiet is why he's overlooked so much. Double edged sword sadlyOctober 24, 2022
The Bucs aren't gutting the team and they aren't in rebuild mode. They're relying on getting healthy and possibly adding.October 25, 2022
The "Fire everyone " extended to Jason this weekend.
The patterns of frustration are understandable but boring. Windows are so narrow folks don't appreciate it.October 25, 2022
Tom Brady, future TV analyst, asked to critique his own performance, offers this: “I think scoring points is the obvious thing we’re trying to do, so we just haven’t done a great job of scoring points. So we have to do a better job of that.”October 25, 2022
Booger McFarland would be proud of this one.
What the FUCK him being a captain or not has to do with the OFFENSE SCORING POINTS!? https://t.co/fs2DSHpq0FOctober 25, 2022
Serious business. The slander and tomfoolery was real. Real stupid.
Wait people actually have us winning tomorrow? 😭 pic.twitter.com/cLL9qa6scrOctober 27, 2022
I have been saying this is a marathon, not a sprint. I believe it. I believe the team feels they can do enough to get into the playoffs and hopes to be healthiest then. That said, you gotta stack wins and we shit the bed the last two weeks. Time to clean this mess up.
Bucs by 10October 26, 2022
The expectation that a light comes on is definitely there. Bucs were basically two TD favorites these last two games. They all have more faith than I do. Im fading them until this quits. https://t.co/S6HntdVcnZOctober 27, 2022
Is THIS considered jumping ship??

BUT
The self-admitted bored player in question is put in positions 90% of the game that he has shown he can’t do for 4 years now and defining insanity
BOTH are to blame https://t.co/w49xJxtiUYOctober 24, 2022
Another idiotic take that stemmed from not having context and wanting to be a part of the crowd.
Crowdsourced foolishness.
Not interacting with any Bucs tweets on Twitter for at least a week. I'll box a fool who blames the defense.October 28, 2022
Dark times.
It was a magical two-year run, Bucs fans.
But it's over.
Well worth it, all of it. But it's over.October 28, 2022
Exactly halfway through the season with a 3-5 record.
These people have 1K + people that truly believe they’re insightful and have good takes and info.
I’m glad that after 8 weeks of football we can all come to the conclusion that Bruce Arians was a much better coach than y’all gave him credit forOctober 28, 2022
My dude.
Random as wrong as all hell.
Some people just like outlandish and outspoken foolishness.

Was also the first time Tom Brady knew he was getting divorced the next day. I think I'm going to give the first 8 weeks a pass and start fresh. Only onward and upward from here forward! #GoBucsNovember 2, 2022
So bc he has the C he HAS to talk to the media! No that’s not what that means!! You just want to hear him talk so then you can criticize what he says!November 2, 2022
The need to criticize players is hilariously dangerous. And, overall, insane.
Got that feeling ! I owe it to myself #LETSGEAUX COWBOY🤠🧎🏾♂️November 3, 2022
Let’s dead this Greg, the play happened bro, I play a lot of snaps & I’m in chase mode 24/7 I got a lil more fatigue than normal because of that long series! But I gotta be way better for my teammates and that’s what I meant by my teammates know. I apologizedNovember 3, 2022
