As a Bucs fan, 2-6 isn’t a foreign thing. The Bucs have been a bad team for years and just when it was starting to look up, hard knocks had to come knocking (punny?). The Bucs have struggled and after the comments last week from both TJ and Swaggy (Baker) the apology from Baker is appreciated, at least, by me. Although he complained about play time, at least he was willing to also come out and offer his apology for the horrific play we have seen from the Bucs for the past couple weeks. The inconsistency on both sides of the ball has everyone puzzled inside one Buc and out. The players have to feel terrible about what has been on display. I do find it hard to believe most players care what fans think, but the apology is nice at least for us. Actions do in fact, speak louder than words however. If the Bucs truly feel sorry for  their play, then they will play better. Sunday was the epitome of futility, even worse than Arizona in my opinion, it’s going to take some time to clear that ugly picture from our head, but thanks for the apology I guess Chris. For what it’s worth apologies or not real fans won’t be going anywhere. I’ll still have the Bucs game on next Sunday, 0-16 or 16-0.
