“I’ll See You Guys Next Monday”: Emphatic Todd Bowles Delivers an Impactful Message to Bucs Teammates After Stunning Win

Coach Todd Bowles and his Tamba Bay Buccaneers traveled across the Atlantic for the first-ever NFL game in Germany. Having won their last game, the Bucs came in hot for their overseas game and looked to maintain their winning run. Fortunately for them, Tom Brady and his boys showed up to play and secured the win.

The Buccaneers played the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL Munich game on Sunday, November 13. The Allianz Arena saw close to 70,000 attendees for the first football game in Germany. 

Todd Bowles sees the light

With the greatest name in the game playing in Germany, it was no surprise that the Munich game was a sell-out. Fresh off a win, Brady was looking to deliver yet again for head coach Todd Bowles. A win would take them to 0.500. It would be sub-standard for the legendary quarterback but much needed for Bowles in his first season as head coach for the Florida franchise. Having been around for their Superbowl campaign, the potential in his locker room was never a mystery to him.

The Bucs contested with an in-form Geno Smith and his Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks entered the game 6-3 and as favorites while the Buccaneers struggled to find form at the beginning of the season. Post their much-needed win, an ecstatic Bowles gave his team more reason to celebrate. He got behind his players as he praised their efforts. “Hell of a job not coming here sightseeing,” Bowles said. He understood how big the win was as he went on to say, “That’s two in a row for us- we gotta start stacking them.”  He then went on to reward his boys with a week off. “I will see you guys next Monday,” said the head coach as the locker room went into a frenzy.

The Buccaneers have their bye week upcoming, so they don’t play this coming week. A week off will rejuvenate the squad as they look to continue with their solid performances. 

2-0 since Tom Brady’s divorce

The Tampa Bay team looked like a different unit, keeping Geno Smith and his boys from scoring the entire first half. Meanwhile, they managed two touchdowns while shutting them out. Tom Brady had an excellent showing for the second game in a row. He had a 75% pass completion, making 22 out of 29 attempted, throwing two touchdowns in the process. The Bucs won the game 21-16. The Bucs were off to a poor start this year. As things stand, it looks like they are finding their form once again.

A week off at this point could be a risky move, given that the Bucs are just getting into their groove. However, Coach Todd Bowles knows his guys best. A week off could be huge for their quarterback too, who can’t seem to catch a break from life off the field.
