Hey, what happened to the 24-hour rule?
That’s an unwritten covenant within most NFL teams. Don’t cry about a win for more than one day and don’t think about a victory beyond 24 hours.
A day after a game, it’s all business and no feelings.
So, Joe was a little surprised to hear Todd Bowles say of Sunday’s win against the Raiders to sieze first place in the NFC South, “It’s only a good feeling for one week.”
Man, it’s hard to believe that steady Bowles seemed to drift from his always-even path to acknowledge a feeling beyond a day after a game. The comments came on Bowles’ Buccaneers Radio Network radio show.
Joe thinks the comment speaks to the great relief within the Bucs’ organization.
The coffee tastes the better. Nagging injuries don’t hurt as much. The empty seats at The Licht House are less offensive.
“The Bucs Life” is far better when the team controls its destiny and can put the painful two losses to the Falcons this season in the rear view mirror.
It’s only a good feeling for one week.
