It is now the fifth Monday with day-after carnage facing Tampa Bay Buccaneer coach Raheem Morris.
It's getting old, a Morris is getting old with it. He acknowledged his team's failures.
"We're just not getting it done right now," he said somberly after his team's 33-14 latest beatdown, this time at the hands, or wings of the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Missed opportunities," is how Morris has summed it up every week and didn't miss Monday either. "We gotta go back and figure out how not to give up big plays." It is something this team has yet to figure out and may be running out of time.
Tampa's best chance for a win this season may be its home game on Sunday against Carolina. But Carolina got out of the winless column with a win over the Redskins.
"The negatives are obvious to me," Morris pointed out in his mid-day press conference. "I'm gonna stay positive here but I may be more negative with the team this week. Some of the better players did not make plays."
Morris was asked about the possibility that this team could be 0-10 before long. "If I start thinking 0-10, we'll be there. I'm thinking 1-5."
In the midst of the misery, Morris said he'll keep on smiling.
"I have confidence in our ownership, our management our coaches and players."
That's all well and good.
But how long will all the above have confidence in Morris?
