Bowles Leads Buccaneers To December Dominance

0

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made it four wins in a row, topping the Chargers 40-17 and boosting their record to 8-6 on the year.

Typically, when teams go deep in the playoffs, they are playing their best football in December. After their victory over the Chargers, Tampa Bay is now 6 and 1 in their last 7 December games dating back to last year.

They currently are undefeated on the road (5-0) in December. Ironically, their last December loss occurred at home on December 31st to those slimy Saints.
What is even more impressive is that they have had two different offensive coordinators, many new coaches (mostly on the offensive side) and plenty of new players.
The ONE constant through all of this has been Todd Bowles. His quiet confidence and no panic attitude has these players believing that they can beat anyone, anywhere ESPECIALLY in December.
The Buccaneers have three games remaining and after what we saw yesterday, does anyone think they can’t win them all?
Bowles, who always seems to be on the “hot seat” should finally get some credit for being a great leader and teacher of men. Winning December football games has become the norm around here so maybe we should thank the guy most responsible for leading the way.

Of all the NFL teams that I could follow, why did I choose the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? It was 1979, I was an impressionable 12-year-old living in Canada. At that time, getting any NFL coverage was tough enough but that was reserved for the elite teams like the Cowboys, Steelers etc. I watched one game at 1 PM and one game at 4 PM. That was it. No Redzone, no night games on Sunday Each Christmas my family would drive from Montreal to visit my aunt in Jacksonville. I remember seeing the Bucs playing on TV against the Falcons when I was there. I saw something that day that changed my fandom forever. There was a QB wearing number 12, in an orange jersey and he wasn’t white! As a minority myself, seeing a non-white QB was something that immediately I was drawn to. I knew that this was the team, and this was the guy who I would follow. The years between 1979 and 1997 were obviously difficult but my fandom never wavered. If anything, it made me stronger as a person. I’ve often joked that I’ve had 3 wives but only ONE football team. I was asked if I wanted to write the occasional article for Bucs Report. Talking and writing about the Bucs is a full-time hobby so of course my answer was YES. I’m 56, retired and living in Costa Rica now. I sport 4 Buc tattoos and have been fortunate to make many visits to Tampa to watch the Bucs. I’ve made countless friends and even more memories. I look forward to chatting and interacting with the many Buccaneer fans throughout the world. Go Bucs Greg D’Cruz
