Buccaneers players call out Todd Bowles as decision about his future looms

For the first time since the 2019 season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won't be participating in the NFL playoffs. It's a weird feeling for Bucs fans but missing out on the postseason has certainly turned up the heat on Todd Bowles and his job security (or lack thereof).

Some might point to injuries being the big reason why Tampa flamed out in 2025 and, to those people's credit, they're not wrong. Bowles is tied into that too, unfortunately, as players have reportedly been unhappy with him for how practices were handled this past year.

Scott Reynolds of Pewter Report wrote a detailed article about Bowles' practices and how he seemed to prefer walk-through practices rather than full-speed practices.
