The Buccaneers might not be what everyone thought they were. That’s hard to understand, considering the team looked like a legitimate playoff contender heading into the season. Not all hope is lost of course. It’s just the seventh game of the season for Tampa Bay. However, something needs to turn around- quickly- if this team wants any shot at the playoffs. The start of that turnaround would ideally be at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday when the Bucs host the Panthers at Raymond James Stadium.
Tampa Bay is coming off a brutal 30-27 loss in Buffalo. Just when it looked like the Bucs had turned things around for good by taking a 27-20 lead late in the game, everything fell apart again.
