Bucs fans elated, but some Bears faithful want heads to roll

Fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had lots to celebrate on Sunday.

Already giddy about going a full week without being in the bull’s-eye of a major hurricane, Bucs fans were clicking their heels over the start of the 2017 regular season and the home opener at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium.

With a 29-7 rout of the Chicago Bears, the Bucs began their 16-week stretch of football with a bang, taking the opening kickoff and driving 51 yards in 13 plays and setting up a 42-yard field goal. From there, it was a laugher the rest of the way.

Meanwhile, Bears fans were hardly elated with the performance of been-around-the-block quarterback Mike Glennon and loudly expressed frustrations with head coach John Fox.

Indeed, one Chicago Tribune commentator has already called for the canning of Fox and says that Glennon should give way to rookie QB Mitch Trubisky.
