Social media reacts to Bucs C Ryan Jensen’s retirement

“Big Red” was a fan favorite in Tampa Bay and helped the Bucs reach the promised land in 2020 — see how fans showed him love after he announced his retirement Friday.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baltimore Ravens center Ryan Jensen was a crucial part of Tampa Bay’s Super Bowl run in 2020, and now, he’s hanging up his cleats.

Jensen officially announced on Friday that he’s retiring from the NFL, putting a bookend on his career that started in 2013 with Baltimore. The decision comes after Jensen spent 2023 on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury he suffered in preseason during the 2022 season.

Jensen was a fan favorite in Tampa Bay, not only renowned for his excellent play at center but also for his fiery attitude on the field and his kindness off of it. Jensen was one of the more beloved free agency signings in team history, and as a result, fans made sure to show their love and give respects to the player they affectionately called “Big Red” on Sundays.

It was a good run, but Tampa Bay’s season has ended.

The Bucs headed into Motor City with the hopes of extending their season by beating the Detroit Lions, but it wasn’t to be.

Social media reacts to Tampa Bay’s dominant playoff win over Philadelphia

Bucs fans are celebrating after predictions of the No. 1 overall pick in the preseason turned into a playoff win at home for the Bucs.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers weren’t supposed to be here. And not only did they win — they won big.

The Bucs throttled the Philadelphia Eagles 32-9 on Monday night, putting up a dominant showing to advance in the NFC playoffs. The team was a three-point underdog heading into the contest, but that didn’t seem to matter much to them, as they got out in front of the Eagles and never looked back. With the win, the Bucs are now set to face off against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field for the Divisional Round.

The Bucs were counted out long before the season started, and the fans brought receipts. See what they were saying after the game:

The Bucs got it done on Sunday, and fans were excited about a third-straight division title.

It was a year full of ups and downs, but now, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are NFC South champions.

The team clinched the division with a win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and although it was a rough 9-0 victory, it was exactly what Tampa Bay needed to go to the playoffs. This is the fourth year in a row the Bucs are headed to the playoffs and the third year in a row they clinched the NFC South, and of course, Bucs fans had a lot to say about it — and they brought receipts from the beginning of the year.

Social media reacts to Tampa Bay’s horrendous Week 17 performance

Bucs fans might be popping open the champagne a bit early after having to watch that awful performance with the division on the line.

The moment was perhaps a little big for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Bucs had a chance to clinch the NFC South at home against the New Orleans Saints on New Year’s Eve, but they did not, in fact, do that. Instead, they got absolutely embarrassed in their own house, losing 23-13 in a game that was not nearly as close as that score may have indicated otherwise. Bucs fans are likely chugging as much champagne as they can muster before the ball drops to forget this loss, but in the meantime, plenty of upset fans sounded off on social media.

Here’s what Bucs fans and neutral pundits were saying about the dreadful game:

Social media reacts to Tampa Bay drubbing Jacksonville 30-12

The vibes were immaculate on social media after one of Tampa Bay’s most impressive games of the season.

There’s no victory Monday quite like a Christmas victory Monday, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are about to experience that and more.

The Bucs throttled the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-12 on Christmas Eve, moving to 8-7 on the year and becoming just one win away from clinching the NFC South and making the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. It was a dominant win that wasn’t as close as the score would suggest, and naturally, Bucs fans on social media were loving it as the team gave Jacksonville a nightmare before Christmas.

Social media reacts to Tampa Bay’s 27-20 loss to the Colts

Another week, another loss and plenty of angry social media posts.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers keep losing, and nothing seems to change at any level.

Tampa Bay dropped its game to the Indianapolis Colts 27-20 on Sunday, losing its sixth game in its last seven played. The team was still undisciplined, making a large number of mistakes, and the defense has been a sieve for the last few weeks. As the season continues, plenty of fans are angry, and it comes out in the form of everything from calls for head coach Todd Bowles’ job to critques on the (increasingly) bad play of Devin White.

Here is what Bucs fans and neutrals said on the web about the team’s loss:

Social media reacts to Tampa Bay’s 27-14 loss to the 49ers

See what fans thought about Tampa Bay’s loss to the 49ers in Week 11:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost a game many thought they were going to lose against the San Francisco 49ers, but that didn’t make it any less frustrating for Bucs fans.

The team lost 27-14 to the 49ers, and it was a game that surprisingly offered the Bucs lots of time to narrow the gap after going down big. Tampa Bay didn’t take any of those opportunities, though, and ended up squandering numerous chances to compete in the final frame of the game.

Naturally, that made some Tampa Bay fans upset, and they made sure to express that online. Check out some social media reactions to the game below:

Here are some social media reactions from those who watched the Bucs catch a dub on Sunday:

Social media reacts to Tampa Bay’s awful loss to the Houston Texans

Oh boy, do Bucs fans have a lot to say about this one — and they should.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took one of the worst losses in the entire NFL on Sunday, and boy, were fans upset about it.

The Bucs had an awful performance against the Texans and allowed Houston to score a go-ahead touchdown with six seconds left on the clock. The offense scored 37 points, but the defense gave up a staggering 496 yards and five touchdowns to rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, and the coaching via playcalling and decision-making across the board by Todd Bowles has been heavily criticized on social media, with most Bucs fans calling for his firing.
