Tampa Bay Buccaneers Can’t Find a W

The Tampa Buccaneers are one of the many teams in the NFL trying to start from the ground up and rebuild their franchise. After the Super Bowl win in 02′ the Buccaneers haven’t had much success.

This was a strong team that made the playoffs in 2007, but one that faltered a bit in 2008, slipping in terms of both offense and defense.

Former head coach Jon Gruden is now broadcasting for Monday Night Football – he doesn’t have to deal with the Bucs team anymore. He’s probably pretty happy about this though.

Not scoring any points in an NFL game just shows you how offensively challenged the Bucs are – that is what happened to the Bucs in week 3 against the New York Giants. The Giants did what they wanted and the Bucs had no answers the entire game. The defense is just as bad as the offense giving up more then 30 points a game.

The Bucs opened up its 2009 campaign with a game against the Dallas Cowboys. No one really knew what to expect of this game. The Cowboys were without Terrell Owens, and the game was being played in Tampa Bay, so some went so far as to predict that Tampa Bay would come away with a win.

The Bucs need to find a capable quarterback and build their defense up once again if they ever expect to be a force in the NFC South again like they once were.

QB Josh Johnson has been named the started of the Bucs – while it’s too early to say what he is made of – if the Bucs were confident in his abilities he would have been named the starter over Leftwich to begin with.

The Bucs defense is one of the worst in the league – if not THE worst – the Bucs have given up more the 30 points more times then many teams give up the entire season. It will be a long season for the Bucs in 09′.
