The Buccaneers have issues that can’t be ignored. TKras examines what needs to change and which areas Tampa Bay must fix to get back on track.

Nick Wize opens Monday’s show dissecting the shocking loss to the Browns, from Cleveland running 23 times for just 44 yards while Tampa Bay averaged 5.5 yards per carry to the glaring difference in locker-room mentality during the lightning delay, when the Browns were blasting music while the Bucs sat in silence. Nick defends Rueben Bain Jr. from unfair criticism after just two NFL games, pushes back on blaming Baker Mayfield for everything, and puts Jason Licht under the microscope for “Bargain Bin Shopping” and poor roster construction. Nick questions whether Todd Bowles’ message has gone stale and says the Bucs look soulless, while making it clear he isn’t advocating for an in-season firing. He also rejects Mike Tomlin and Sean McDermott as potential replacements, saying Tomlin would be “same story, different day,” and takes plenty of calls and texts from frustrated Bucs fans ready to blame Licht, Bowles, Baker and the entire organization.
