Hide the women and children! Raymond James Stadium witnessed a pair of dejections on Thursday: 1. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Atlanta Falcons and 2. Todd Bowles in the postgame conference.
The Buccaneers lost for the sixth time in their last eight outings after allowing the Falcons to complete a come-from-behind victory, 29-28.
After the game, Bowles didn't hide his disappointment, as he peppered his comments with a word that can't be published, as shown in the video posted by NFL reporter Ari Meirov.
“It's inexcusable. You can't make excuses. We got to f****** care enough where the s*** hurts. You got to f****** care enough where the s*** hurts. It got to f****** mean something to you. It's more than a job, it's your f****** livelihood,” said Bowles.
“How well do you know your job? How well can you do your job. You can't sugarcoat that s***. It was f****** inexcusable, man. There's no f****** answer for it. There's no excuse for it. That's what you tell them in the locker room. Look in the f****** mirror.”

Meirov forgot to mention that Bowles also dropped two S-bombs in his prolific rant.
The 62-year-old Bowles has always come off as an existential person, and his latest comments proved it. Even though they were laced with expletives, they should make the Buccaneers reflect about themselves and their approach to the game.
The Buccaneers blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, with Kyle Pitts and Zane Gonzalez delivering the heroics for the Falcons.
Tampa Bay fell to 7-7, including 3-4 at home.
