The 2019 Tampa Bay Buccaneers were certainly a mixed bag. A 2-6 first half had plenty questioning Bruce Arians, his coaching staff and the roster that Jason Licht had assembled. But some big offensive performances and a much-improved defense keyed a four-game winning streak and a 5-3 second half.
The end result was a 7-9 season that felt like it could’ve been more. A few missed kicks, a missed call and a seemingly endless turnover problem made the difference between a seven-win campaign and possibly a playoff berth. That’s been the story of Tampa Bay football as of late, hasn’t it?
