Bucs fans react to coach’s decision not to attempt a two-point conversion against the Chiefs

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost three straight games with a road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Not only did they suffer a brutal 30-24 loss, but they did it in prime time on Monday Night Football.

Every mistake was shined in the spotlight, including a major coaching mistake by Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles. Instead of trying to beat Kansas City on the road with a two-point conversion, the Buccaneers insisted on going for the extra point to eventually force overtime.

The Chiefs scored in overtime and ended up winning a game that Tampa Bay could have closed out. Instead, they are 4-5 on the season with a losing record, and Bowles is under fire for his decision.

Here are some reactions after Bowles made the conservative decision that caused them to lose the game.

Todd Bowles actually thought going into overtime against the best quarterback in the world was a better idea than trying to convert a two-point play.

Todd Bowles is a coward

Todd Bowles also doesn’t take free samples from Costco.

Todd Bowles is a cowardly HC who is afraid to make the decisions necessary to win the game. He cost the Bucs three games this season.

Todd Bowles is SO bad at running games. One of the worst timeouts I’ve ever seen

What a joke that Todd Bowles didn’t pick 2. Honestly, inexcusable. This could be a seasonal game

The Bucs lost because Todd Bowles didn’t go for two and didn’t take the chances. In this essay I…

It’s honestly funny how poorly this game handled. You can’t keep Todd Bowles as head coach, you just can’t.

Todd Bowles not going two games near normal is probably the least surprising thing he did, but we all know he should have done it.

The Buccaneers then took the field at Raymond James Stadium, hoping to even their record by taking on the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs, on the other hand, remain unbeaten in a game they could very easily have lost.

There will be some soul-searching to do on a Buccaneers team that is missing its top two receivers and now has a losing record after a blowout loss.
