Honestly this is probably the best thing for this team. The Bucs had multiple weeks last season where ppl thought they were done. The idea that this team was going to be a finished project just 8 weeks after Stafford walking thru the door seems misguided.
I don't see how. If they were serious about competing for a no 1 seed, home field in the playoffs, even the Super Bowl, they should be hitting their stride about now. Instead, consecutive losses have all but taken them out of the running for the first two, and the third seems like a pipe dream about now.
Rams are up against it now. Still have Green Bay, Arizona, SF again and Baltimore in the second half of the season.
