The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are terrible this season, there’s no two ways about it. There’s many reasons for that—a lack of talent at some positions (defensive end), regression from some players, some unlucky miscues, some weird personnel decisions, injuries and probably some other things I can’t think of. When you start the season 2-6, many things are to blame.
ESPN’s Jenna Laine tried to find a few, or at least find some things the Bucs could and should have done differently this offseason. She names five different things the Bucs did poorly, but it’s hard to see how fixing all of them would have resulted in fundamentally different outcomes.
