It is now do or die for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and, really, the organization should have embraced that mentality weeks ago before sliding further and further down the drain with three straight losses to the New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, and Carolina Panthers in what was supposed to be a reprieve in their schedule.
But, as the Buccaneers found out the hard way, it is true what they say; there is no such thing as an easy divisional game in the NFL, especially at the business end of the season. Now, the Bucs must be perfect with the Miami Dolphins and one last battle for all the marbles against the Carolina Panthers in Week 18 at Raymond James Stadium looming ahead.
