Bucs QB Baker Mayfield.
Joe just wanted to throw something at his TV last night. Good thing Joe remembered how much he paid for it.
It was appalling and, frankly, nauseating to see the Bucs’ defense, once they got warmed up, play out of their minds and give their offensive teammates _five_ (!) takeaways to beat the mighty Bears.
And the Bucs p!ssed away all but one opportunity. The Bucs’ quarterback FINALLY made a play, albeit with his legs, not his right arm.
After the game, Mayfield all but said look no further than him for why the offense couldn’t get in drive.
It comes back to the turnovers for us, an interception,” Mayfield said, referring to his pick-six. “You don’t want to have them. Ever. Especially when it turns into immediate points on a pick-six. That’s the difference in the game.”
Mayfield lauded the Bucs’ defensive play as “amazing … once they got settled in. But at the end of the day, it’s on him, Mayfield said.
> “I’ve got to make the throws,” Mayfield said. “I’ve got to be more accurate.”
Mayfield was then asked if he believed the loss came down to the Bucs offense not being able to capitalize on enough of the Bucs’ takeaways. Mayfield said, “Absolutely.”
As Joe already typed tonight, Mayfield is broken. He hasn’t had a good game that resulted in a win since last October.
Good thing the Bucs didn’t sign him to a pricey contract, right?
Oh, wait…
