0–4 in 2026. All four losses decided by seven points or fewer. Updated Oct. 4, 2026.
Regular season unless noted. The custom situational categories are being audited game-by-game before publication—because if we're going to yell, we're going to yell accurately.
Why the yellow “AUDIT” labels? Those splits aren't standard published coaching stats. We're reconstructing them from game logs rather than publishing a number we can't defend.
Down 17–14 with 1:34 left at Green Bay's 47, Tampa passed on a potential 65-yard tying field goal and went for 4th-and-11. The offense failed. Chase McLaughlin had made a 65-yarder the previous season.
Against Cleveland, Tampa got the ball with 32 seconds left and all three timeouts. Bowles let 12 seconds burn after a one-yard completion, eventually using only one timeout before regulation expired. Tampa lost in overtime.
After scoring late at undefeated Kansas City, Tampa kicked the extra point instead of trying for two and the lead. Chiefs coach Andy Reid was asked if he was surprised. His response: “No, but I'm glad he didn't.” Tampa lost in overtime.
Timeouts. Fourth downs. End-of-half weirdness. Conservative calls. Aggressive calls at strange times. If a decision makes an entire living room yell “WHAT ARE WE DOING?”, it belongs here.
Passed on McLaughlin from 65, chose 4th-and-11 with an undrafted rookie QB making his first NFL start. Result: incomplete; game effectively over.
Very little consideration given to a two-point try after the late touchdown; Tampa tied it, lost the overtime coin toss, and never possessed the ball again.
Entered the final possession of regulation with 32 seconds and three timeouts; ended regulation with two still available before losing in overtime.
We're building the full searchable archive: game, quarter, score, clock, decision, result and source. No folklore required.
Bowles' first three seasons as Tampa Bay head coach ended in postseason appearances.
Tampa beat Philadelphia 32–9 in the Wild Card round before losing at Detroit.
The Bucs went 10–7 and won the NFC South. Criticism is stronger when the good stuff stays on the ledger too.
A weekly fan pulse after each game. No personal attacks. No pretending we're the front office. Just deeply normal football-fan emotional regulation.
OMGFTB is an independent fan satire and commentary project about Tampa Bay football. The target is coaching decisions and the emotional absurdity of fandom—not harassment of anyone personally. Facts get sources. Wins get credit. Bad clock management gets immortalized.
