The Bucs lost to the Steelers, who were missing pretty much their entire team

Pittsburgh didn’t have its entire team on the field Sunday, but the Bucs know what that feels like, too. Tampa Bay’s last practice before the game was missing a key element after Tom Brady went to Robert Kraft’s wedding Friday and missed practice Saturday morning.

Fast forward to Sunday, and TB12 failed to lead his team to a touchdown (despite three red zone trips) through the first three-and-a-half quarters, only scoring one for the game.

Tom also had a sideline meltdown, cursing out an offensive line which probably lamented the fact that he left his family to go out and lose to a practice squad defense while getting outplayed by not only a rookie QB making only his second start in Kenny Pickett, but also Mitch Trubisky, the guy who stepped in after the rook got knocked out of the game.

Reminder: this Steelers team lost last week to the Bills 38-3 and allowed the Bills to gain over 500 yards of offense.

Sunday’s final score ended up being 20-18. This was supposed to be a blowout.

The Bucs managed to allow one of the worst defenses in football hold them to a single touchdown despite statistically outplaying the Steelers in every category offensively.

This Bucs team is in trouble. The offensive struggle in the red zone is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. I mean, they go down there and Tom Brady transforms into Mike Glennon. It’s truly remarkable.

We all had to waste our collective time watching this awful team shit a brick on television against a Steelers team that was missing TJ Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick, both starting corners, and its starting tight end; plus, a QB who went down in the second half.

The Bucs should truly be embarrassed of themselves, and they should donate their game checks to something actually worthwhile other than this sorry ass team.

The only consolation to take away is that Taco Bell’s Nacho Fries are back.
