Buccaneers fans already drafting the 2027 tank manifesto and taking Bowles down with them.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
M.Price's 86-yard punt return score set the tone before Tampa's defense could exhale, and K.Murray hitting J.Addison deep for 41 only twisted the knife. B.Mayfield's late interception by A.Van Ginkel sealed it, but the damage was structural long before that — an offensive line fans are now openly calling a terrorist organization, and a coaching staff losing the room. The T.Hurst touchdown feels like a distant memory. The reset talk has started, and it's only Week 3.
