The Tampa Bay Buccaneers saw their disastrous start to the season get even worse on Sunday – and Todd Bowles is beginning to face some difficult questions.
The Buccaneers lost 17-14 against the Packers on Sunday, a loss which exacerbated a difficult beginning to their year. The loss moved Tampa Bay to 0-4, and one has to think that the seat Bowles is sitting on is getting mightily hot with each loss. After the game, when Bowles was asked how he can get the issues with the Buccaneers fixed, he shared his strategy for success.
"I can always do more, I'll always take the blame," Bowles said. "If we fight, we all stick together and we all figure this thing out, I'll lead them to it. It's my job."

There might be reason to believe that Bowles could get things turned around, given the fact that none of the losses Tampa Bay has suffered this season have been blowouts. In fact, all four of their losses were decided by one score, coming by a combined 20 points.
But everyone knows that NFL franchises tend to operate with a short lease, and after the Buccaneers regressed last season and with Bowles in his fifth season on the job, the front office in Tampa Bay might decide to make a move if the losses continue. So Bowles better hope that his strategy works, and that the team comes together soon.
