Week 7 · 2025–26 season
Buccaneers
L 9-24 at Lions · Oct 20, 2025
Misery Index · Despair
Buccaneers fans more shaken by M.Evans staying down than by anything the refs or Lions did to them.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Y.Diaby's strip-sack on the opening script gave Tampa a short field and a heartbeat, and then J.Gibbs ripped off 78 yards up the middle and the night never recovered. The S.Shepard fumble and an officiating review that nobody in pewter will forget turned a grindable deficit into a coffin. B.Mayfield to T.Johnson made the box score respectable, but a defense that can't tackle Gibbs in space is a problem that doesn't fix itself in six days.
What fans said
“I hope whoever has been calling these late reviews all season... sleeps on a warm ass pillow in a musty ass room tonight”
