Buccaneers fans are already drafting Bowles' eulogy while Mayfield gets carted off a season that's clearly over.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
B.Mayfield's first-quarter pick-six to C.Durant set the tone before the offense had a pulse, and from there M.Stafford carved up the secondary with P.Nacua finding grass on consecutive chunk plays. Down 27 by the time anything resembled a rhythm emerged, the loss exposed what fans have suspected for weeks: the pass rush can't get home, the corners can't hang, and the captain is going down with a ship nobody's steering. The collapse no longer feels like a slump.
What fans said
“Baker is a Captain that goes down with his ship and this coaching staff is steering the ship into a fucking rock.”
