Nothing is ever easy for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, another hard lesson we learned on Sunday afternoon. A two-win Saints team came to town and gave the Bucs more than they could handle -- which is embarrassing on more levels than it's worth admitting.
The mere fact that the Bucs were in a slugfest with the Saints is bad enough, even though it's a rivalry game, but it's how they got to that point that is cause for serious concern moving forward.
Sloppy play, inconsistency, and massive mistakes on special teams are good ways to play yourself out of the playoff picture.
