We've seen the Tampa Bay Buccaneers do some incredible things this season, but unfortunately they seem to also be masters of their own demise.
Despite starting the season 6-1, the Bucs have cratered and fallen into yet another midseason coma. Unlike previous years, though, they've yet to come out of it and now enter the home stretch of the season playing for their playoff lives.
The good news is that even with how hard the team fell off, the Bucs still control their own destiny. Carolina's loss to New Orleans last Sunday gave Tampa Bay a new lease on life that nobody was expecting, and it's a second chance the team can't afford to waste.
