Despite a 6-3 record, the vibes around the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are all out of whack. The Bucs lost a winnable game on Sunday, getting in their own way enough times to lose to New England 28-23 and yet again failing to measure up in a big game.
That's just the first of three big games the Bucs will play over the next three weeks, which is just the tip of the iceberg of bad vibes going around.
An underlying current to everyone's anxiety is the continued absence of Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin. Both players have been out for weeks, with Irving injuring himself in the loss to Philadelphia, while Godwin has been out since the win over Seattle.
