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

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have now been defeated for three straight games after losing on the road to the Kansas City Chiefs. Not only did they suffer a brutal 30-24 defeat, but they also suffered during primetime on Monday Night Football.

Every mistake was highlighted, and that includes a major coaching mistake from Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles. Instead of trying to beat Kansas City on the road with a two-point conversion, the Buccaneers insisted on getting an extra point to ultimately force overtime.

The Chiefs scored in overtime to ultimately win a game that could have closed out Tampa Bay. Instead, they are 4-5 this season with a losing record and Bowles is under fire for his decision.

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

Todd Bowles really thought going into overtime against the best quarterback in the world was a better idea than attempting a two-point conversion.

Todd Bowles is a coward

Todd Bowles doesn’t take free samples at Costco either.

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

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

What a joke that Todd Bowles didn’t go for 2. Frankly inexcusable. It could be a season that takes playing

— Ross Lovelace (@Rosslovelace) November 5, 2024

Bucs lost because Todd Bowles doesn’t want to go for 2 and wants to play the odds. In this essay I will….

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

Todd Bowles not going for two in regulation is probably the least surprising, but we all know he should have done it.

The Buccaneers then take the field at Raymond James Stadium to tie their record as they take on the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs, on the other hand, remain undefeated in a game in which they could very easily have lost.

Some research will have to be done on a Buccaneers team that is without its top two wide receivers and now has a losing record after a crushing defeat.
