The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were manhandled Sunday in a 48-10 blowout loss to the Chicago Bears.

Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter didn't hold back in his postgame press conference, critiquing every aspect of the performance.

"Based on that game today, we couldn't make enough changes. We should fire every person that was on that field today, starting with me," Koetter said when asked if defensive coordinator Mike Smith should lose his job, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. "That was horrific."

The Bucs opened the year 2-0 but have since lost their following two games.

Tampa Bay entered Week 4 ranked second last in total defense. The team gave up six passing touchdowns to Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky on Sunday.
