Heading into their bye week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers looked like they had turned a corner, thanks to back-to-back wins over the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks.
Coming out of the bye week, the Bucs came crashing back down to earth Sunday with a 23-17 overtime loss to the lowly Cleveland Browns.
The offensive struggles continued, the self-inflicted errors piled up again, and more questionable coaching decisions landed the Bucs right back in the loss column despite the week off and the positive momentum of a two-game winning streak.
After Sunday’s crushing road loss, Bucs fans on social media vented their frustrations:
I want the ENTIRE coaching staff gone. Bowles isn’t a head coach and Byron can’t run an offense. Just pure awfulness

Season’s over and franchise is back to 2010s until they replace this staff.

Bad game management, bad play calling, bad player discipline with penalties!

3 and out, 3 and out, 3 and out. Very little else matters

Fire Bowles & Leftwich. Enough is enough.

It’s a bad football team. The state of the O-Line is a big piece IMO.

Just flat out disappointment. It’s like whenever a worse team gave them gifts they wanted to lose more. Horrific coaching and play calling still showing up at the worst times. And mental errors from leaders are just ill-timed. I thought we would limp away with a W but alas…

Bright side: still control division and Wirfs x-rays are negative. Really bad loss overall tho

The coaching staff is a joke. Bottom line

Coaching failures cost them this one.
No timeouts at the end (browns 4th and 9, or on their final drive in regulation) both cost huge time, could’ve set for a FG.
4th and 2 punt on Cle 37, setting up Browns ball @20 for 17 net yards are the two most egregious examples.
