Buccaneers fans blaming B.Mayfield's three fumbles, Bowles's pulse, and their own gullibility for the Cincy loss.

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings

What happened

B.Mayfield coughed the ball up three separate times — a strip-sack on the opening drive, a scramble fumble at the CIN 4 that turned into a touchback, and another sack-fumble in the fourth recovered by Cincinnati — and Tampa still had a chance because J.Trotter took a J.Burrow pick 38 yards to the house. Six points is exactly what three giveaways from the $165 million quarterback cost. Long year if the hero-ball impulse doesn't get filed away.

What fans said

  • “I have to say I think we may have won this game if our starting QB we just extended for 165 million didn't fumble the ball 3 times.”

  • “This loss is on baker. 21 points against on turnovers? And one of them costing a TD”

    u/Rangeneers▲ 163frustration

  • “It's just beyond infuriating that if Baker stopped playing fucking hero ball and just SLID at the end zone, we probably won this game.”
