Misery Index · Despair
Buccaneers fans calling for Bowles' head after a 4th-and-2 punt they're treating as a formal surrender to Buffalo.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
S.Tucker did everything a running back can do — a 43-yard touchdown run, a 28-yard receiving score — and it still wasn't close, because J.Allen carved up the defense in chunks: 52 to Ty.Johnson, 43 to T.Shavers, 25 to J.Cook, all touchdowns. The B.Mayfield interception by C.Bishop snuffed any third-quarter pulse, and a 4th-and-2 punt has the fanbase questioning whether the coaching staff is even trying to win these.
