Kirk Herbstreit said the quiet part out loud about Buccaneers' defense

After starting the season 6-1, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have stalled out and started to roll backward in a hurry.

Injuries have played a role in this but those missing pieces have also highlighted something else that has caused mass frustration among fans. Coaching is always easy to call into question when arm chairing from home, but Todd Bowles has made it so unbelievably easy to pick on him and call his mistakes out.

Those injuries have depleted his defense, but his reluctance to try something different to account for them is pure stubbornness. It's something Bucs fans have been calling out for a while, and it didn't take long for the Thursday Night Football crew to pick up on it too.
