Todd Bowles opens up about ‘his biggest pet peeve’ and responds to Baker Mayfield’s accusation
November 10, 2026
There is a lot of blame to be made.
The sloppiness of the Bucs offense was off the charts Sunday night. This is one of the main reasons why Joe asked the Bucs to move on from player Zac Robinson.
It’s good. He will find work and will not lose any salary from the Galzer team. Additionally, these followers of Sean McVay always get interviews with the head coach are loved.
On Sunday, the Bucs brought back an early-season foe: the mind-numbing pregame penalty.
And they’re in Todd Bowles’ shoes, he told WFLA-TV.
“My biggest pet peeve is the five false starts,” Bowles said. “You know, we’re starting 1st-and-15 and we’re getting five yard runs and we’re still at 2nd-and-10. We can’t do that. That’s almost half the drives of the game that you’re starting behind the 8-ball. And that’s hard to do against a good team.”
And those aren’t the only penalties imposed on the Bucs’ offense.
After the 27-24 loss to Chicago, Baker Mayfield pointed the finger at the Bears’ defense for violating a rule against changing the quarterback’s cadence. Defensive players cannot make signals that fake the QB.
Bowles presented this as an excuse that doesn’t hold water.
“That’s football,” Bowles said. “I mean, there’s going to be a lot of barking on both sides of the ball. We’ve got to focus and get it done.”
