Todd Bowles gave a brutally honest assessment of the Buccaneers, and he's not wrong

A day after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the New England Patriots and Baker Mayfield called out himself and his offense, head coach Todd Bowles is not ready to call his team great quite yet.

The loss to the Patriots showcased the Buccaneers' third straight lackluster performance by the offense this season. After starting the game with a successful touchdown drive, Baker and the Bucs cooled down thanks to a lack of execution and struggles on third down. The defense allowed several big plays for touchdowns and didn’t do the little things that made the unit so good going into the bye.
