Tampa Bay Buccaneers Can't Find a W

By Dustin Pinz

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.

The Bucs best season since winning the Super Bowl came in 05' when they finished 11-5 but lost to the Washington Redskins in the first round. Tampa Bays offense in 09' is abysmal scoring barely- points per game.

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.

The defense didn't change much. They're one of the worst units in the league and they should have spent a bit more on balancing out the squad, not just improving the offense.

RB Cadillac Williams was a rising star in the NFL a few seasons ago. In 05' Williams ran for over 1,100 yards in-- games but injuries have put his progression as a RB on hold. 07' - 08' Williams only played in 10 games, scored 7 touchdowns and rushed for 441 yards.

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.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were dealt a somewhat difficult opponent in week 2, traveling to Buffalo to face the Bills. The Bills had nearly beaten the New England Patriots in week 1, and looked to be much improved in 2009, thanks to a few key additions at both offense and defense (most notably Terrell Owens). The Bills won this game 33-20, nearly the same score as the Bucs' week one loss.

The Bucs are headed for a painful season if they can't get the ball in the endzone and let opposing offenses score at will. - 30542
