Whelp, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suck again. They’re 2-3 after an embarrassing loss to the Arizona Cardinals, and no one thinks they’re good anymore. Certainly no national writer who covers the NFL.
That’s what we see in today’s power rankings, at least. SB Nation’s Adam Stites ranks the Bucs 24th, and that’s about where every other writer has them ranked, too. ESPN has them 25th, for instance.
The Buccaneers have the most difficult remaining strength of schedule in terms of opponents' winning percentage. But factor in that four of their next six are on the road and no bye week, and the Bucs are staring at a serious uphill climb.
