We all suffered through 12 straight seasons of playoff-less football. It took the miracle of Tom Brady arriving to bring the Bucs out of darkness, but even without him they’re still in the light.
Bouncing back from a 1-6 slump to win the division? Bucs earned this crown.

Still not buying the Tom Brady retirement rumors after the season he had. Regardless, the idea that people believe the Bucs should go from him to the likes of Jimmy G or Blaine Gabbert is laughable
Tom Brady and the Bucs just killed their chances of winning the NFC, first MVP in franchise history, and they did it all after a bye. A terrible, terrible, terrible loss.
Unless something changes, the Bucs switched Alex Cappa for the much better (and cheaper) Shaq Mason. Basically like Tampa used the comp pick they will get from losing Cappa to find his replacement. Love it.
Brady is the dynasty. Not sure how you watch this game tonight or the past few years and take anything else away. Also, given what we’ve seen in Tampa, Brady may be the better GM too.
These guys are going to remember this. Hell of a season. Incredible run. Lots of stuff to fix in the offseason but it’s impossible to not be proud of how this season went.

If this franchise wants to be good again it will have to be without Byron Leftwich and Todd Bowles. If Bowles isn’t gone at the end of this season he will before he finishes his deal and only sets the team back more. Gotta rip the band aid off.
There are a lot of ways to talk about Todd Bowles and Byron Leftwich not being good coaches for Tampa without letting your asinine and bigoted views on race to be at the forefront of that discussion. Absolutely ridiculous.
The Bucs can talk about the development of Kyle Trask all day long. Them not seeing him as a competitor to Blaine Gabbert for the backup role after a year on the roster is not good.
In all fairness to the second half, the Bucs did just win on the road without David, Gronk, Davis, SMB, Sherman, and Winfield. 5-1 feels good-positive vibes only. Stop running on first down

Wait a second. Did CBS just say there hasn’t been a game for the Chiefs since Mahomes took over where they didn’t score a touchdown? I can think of a pretty big game where they didn’t…
Hard to understate how well Tom Brady is playing. Offensive line and WR injuries aside, dude is dishing. 656 yards and four touchdowns through the last two games on 74%. Let Brady play his game and don’t waste downs and the offense can win games regardless of the defense

Make no mistake, the Bucs SHOULD fire Todd Bowles but won’t. Rather than ripping off the band aid, the team is gonna wait for another year to go down the drain before doing what everyone knows is the right decision. Bowles, welcome to the hot seat.
I don’t know what else you have to see to know that Leftwich isn’t it and Bowles staying the course doesn’t bode well for the rest of his HC stint in Tampa
The fact that the Buccaneers can score at will in crunch time shows that the issue is coaching and not injuries/new players like some would like to argue. If talent was the problem then the points wouldn’t come in crunch time either. Conservative coaches lead to losses

Some quick Dave Canales thoughts:
1. Good for him, he went from relatively unknown to a HC in less than a year.
2. Bucs hiring the right OC just became the most important move of the offseason.
3. Unlike last year, Tampa Bay is much more of a destination for an OC.
See a lot of Antonio Brown talk on here. It boils down to one thing; is the team better with him on the field? Like it or not, it isn’t the Bucs’ job to roster role models for kids to look up to. Their job is to win football games. Brown absolutely helps win football games.
The Rams followed the Buccaneer blueprint for building a Super team except they missed the part where Tampa kept their draft picks and didn’t mortgage the better part of the next decade for immediate success
If the Colts can hire Jeff Saturday, I promise the Bucs can bring Bruce Arians back from sitting in a booth. It wouldn’t even be one of the top 10 weirdest things about the NFL this season. Just do something to make a change, please
