Buccaneers: ESPN and the Saints troll hard following Sunday night
ESPN and the Saints troll the Buccaneers hard after Sunday’s debacle
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered an embarrassing loss at the hands of their divisional rival Sunday night and no one was letting them live it down peacefully.
The Buccaneers entered Raymond James Stadium Sunday as the favorite over the New Orleans Saints and they left with a loss that will sting for quite some time. The Bucs fell 38-3 at the hands of the Saints and, honestly, it could’ve been much worse.
If it weren’t enough for Tampa Bay fans to have to endure a game that included three interceptions from Tom Brady, multiple dropped passes, bad offensive line play, poor play-calling, an out-of-position defense with soft coverage and much more, they also had to endure being the butt of the joke on Twitter.
Both ESPN and the New Orleans Saints left their two cents on the game with these trolling efforts.
ESPN elected to pull out the old clip from the very first Avengers movie where Loki was completely smashed by The Hulk.

The Saints elected to do their trolling both while the game was still going on as former Bucs QB Jameis Winston entered the blowout to play in garbage time, and after it had finished.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers have to learn from this debacle
If you had told me the Bucs would lose Sunday night, I wouldn’t have been shocked. However, the way they lost was absolutely embarrassing and certainly worthy of being trolled in a big way.
This team has to learn from this debacle and the learning curve has to be quick.
Tampa Bay proved it didn’t belong on the big stage Sunday night, but that doesn’t mean this team can’t improve, learn from their mistakes and come back with a much better outcome next time.
This team has promise- despite what last night showed- and it will be interesting to see if they get back up and go to work or if they let this loss linger and cost them even more down the road.
Next. What the Bucs can learn from Ric Flair. dark
The Buccaneers will be back in action this Sunday to take on the Carolina Panthers at 1 p.m. on FOX.
