Quote:I doubt that happens.

Let's look at what happened today:

1. Boneheaded coaching decision to play a pitch to the fifth-string running back results in a fumble that essentially cost us the game.

2. Boneheaded penalties, including a second 12-man penalty on the defense in as many weeks, among other ridiculous mental breakdowns.

3. A second straight week of miserable kicking, with Myers sending a kickoff out of bounds and an onside attempt ten yards ahead of the closest Jaguar.

4. Apathetic play late in the game as the team clearly stopped trying midway through the fourth quarter.

5. Apathetic coaching as Bradley was content to let the Bucs run down the clock rather than trying to save time.

6. A locker room implosion after the game.

 

Combine this with the dismantling at the hands of the Patriots, the gift-wrapping of a game to Indy and the message before the season that this is a team ready to compete, and you have the recipe for an in-season firing. Today might be the final straw. Probably won't, but a man can dream, can't he?
