The Bucs’ glorious 23-3 blowout of the slimy Saints today left nearly every Bucs fan scratching their head about the Tampa Bay offense.
What’s going on with the offensive line?
What’s with Baker Mayfield over the past couple of weeks? Why did playcaller Josh Grizzard go from magical to middling in the same time period?
“By no means was that up to our standards offensively,” Baker Mayfield said of today’s performance in New Orleans.
His comments came on the Buccaneers Radio Network, where Mayfield issued a “my goodness” when referencing how well the Bucs’ defense and special teams played.
Mayfield finished 15-of-24 for 152 yards passing. He ate 3 sacks and didn’t run for a yard — for the second consecutive game. The latter stat tells Joe that Mayfield is far more banged up than it appears.
The bye week is coming at the perfect time.
