Buccaneers fans want Grizzard fired by sundown after watching two passes from the three-yard line ice the game.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
K.Williams housed a 72-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter, T.Henderson ripped off a 55-yard touchdown in the third, and M.Hollins still got loose for 54 down to the TB 8 — and somehow the defense kept this within a score. The grievance on the other side is Josh Grizzard's playcalling, immortalized by a B.Mayfield checkdown to R.White losing three yards inside two minutes. When the offense can't convert the stops the defense fought for, the season's margin disappears.
What fans said
“Playcalling was fucking awful all day.”
