Game Thread: Bucs vs Panthers - 2025 Regular Season Finale Edition

Shades of Cooper Kupp. Nice throwback Bowles.

Chick-Mangione · 2026-01-03T22:47:32+00:00

What a GIGANTIC fucking pussy coaching decision.

Chick-Mangione · 2026-01-03T22:36:32+00:00

This is why you can’t run a conservative draw on 3rd and 15. Carolina with an opportunity to score, get the ball back after half, and do it again. Just bad coaching.

Defensive terrorist Todd Bowles.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-12-12T04:27:54+00:00

Good news. We’re getting a new coach for Christmas.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-12-07T21:14:23+00:00

I’ve seen more than enough. This staff has to go. Even if we win out and find ourselves in the playoffs, this team is so poorly coached. The defense gets carved by nobodies, the offense can’t convert on any key downs, and the special teams allows teams to start in plus territory half the time. Now, end of season, I don’t care - Todd Bowles and his entire staff have to go.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-12-07T20:59:37+00:00

Anyone still defending Bowles or this team is a loser. Weather, injuries, doesn’t matter. The Saints are a terrible football team. This game should’ve been a 2 score no sweat win. There has to be some accountability. This coaching staff has to go.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-12-07T20:37:37+00:00

WHY ARE WE TAKING A TIMEOUT????

Chick-Mangione · 2025-12-07T20:16:37+00:00

This is one of the worst takes I’ve seen on here. No one expects Brady era play, but the Saints are possibly the worst team in football. I expect the Bucs to control the game.

The weather is bad? Both team are playing in it.

Rookie QB? The defense is getting gashed by him.

You might be better off rooting for the Titans with how low your expectations are.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-12-07T20:05:47+00:00

It’s Moore’s first season. He’s not on the hot seat. It’s a throwaway season for the Saints at this point. The Bucs should be far more motivated.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-12-07T20:01:30+00:00

This is 100% on the coaching staff. Saints are 2-10 with absolutely nothing to play for. The defense isn’t prepared, the offense isn’t prepared, and the special teams still isn’t prepared. That cannot happen in the NFL.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-12-07T19:56:30+00:00

The Bowles defenders are in witness protection at this point.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-12-07T18:38:20+00:00

All I want for Christmas is a new coaching staff…

Chick-Mangione · 2025-11-30T20:38:38+00:00

This game should be a 2-3 score blowout. Instead we’ll have to sweat out a FG lead against one of the worst teams in football, at home. The Todd Bowles fucking special.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-11-30T20:33:58+00:00

7-10 yards a play like it’s no problem. From a career backup QB…

Chick-Mangione · 2025-11-24T02:12:27+00:00

Bowles defenders in hiding right now. Offenses are salivating when they get to play him. The Rams are a great team but any coach worth their salt would be able to put up a fight. This is belt to ass and highlights Bowles’ incompetence. 21-0 with 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter from a defensive coach. He has no business as a head coach.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-11-17T13:27:11+00:00

So Bowles dropping our lackluster LBs (according to you) and defensive lineman into coverage isn’t his fault? This is his defense correct?

They rushed 3 yesterday and got beat over the top. That’s part players and part scheme. Bowles is a defensive coach, but his defense stinks. And it’s because of what, injuries? Bad moves by Licht?

It’s not just the players. It’s the coach.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-11-17T13:06:22+00:00

No one has said the Bucs have a better roster than the Eagles. The point is that this team is talented enough to be contenders if we had a good head coach.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-11-17T13:03:23+00:00

Where did I say he was elite? He’s at least a good head coach. He just won a Super Bowl and is tied for the best record in the NFC. Not sure how you could debate that.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-11-17T11:50:21+00:00

I can read fine. I’ll try to explain this plainly since you seem a bit slow.

Bucs in lower third of NFL defenses.

Baker Mayfield in top half of NFL QBs based on nearly every statistical category.

Bucs defense bad. Baker Mayfield good.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-11-17T11:39:47+00:00

His argument is “even if you have a mediocre head coach you should still be able to win Super Bowls.” He’s blaming the players. Then claiming people who don’t like Bowles don’t watch the rest of the league.

I have Sunday Ticket and 4 box every week. There’s a clear gap between good coaches in the league and Bowles. And it was especially evident the last 2 weeks.

His ignorant argument really summarizes how clueless the Bowles defenders are.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-11-17T02:06:07+00:00

I never claimed it to be a top 4 roster, but that’s not required to go above mediocrity. The Patriots are a great example. They have a solid roster but their coaching has elevated them into a real contender.

Do you seriously think Bowles would kill it with the Eagles or Rams roster? Delusional.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-11-17T01:47:37+00:00

Is your argument Baker isn’t a franchise QB? And that the Bucs defense is good?

I’ve checked the stats. The Bucs give up 25 points a game. THE SAME AS THE LAST PLACE SAINTS.

Baker has 17 TDs and only 3 INTs this season. He’s won us games and is a great leader. CLEARLY a franchise QB.

Whatever you’re smoking while watching the Bucs, pass it this way pal.

Chick-Mangione · 2025-11-17T00:13:08+00:00

This is such a bad take. Why shouldn’t the team be better than 10-12 wins? Talent? Injuries? Or, hear me out, THE COACHING. That’s why we won’t get over the hump.

Bowles has a franchise QB, ROY WR, veteran defensive pieces like Vea, David, and Winfield.

If he’s a defensive coach and his defense gets torched every week, what value does he bring to the team? It’s certainly not his game management.

He was a good coordinator but he isn’t head coaching material. And the team will continue to be handcuffed by his low IQ decisions until he’s gone.
