I think says a lot:
4. It was the fifth time this season the Bucs have lost by 14 or more. No other team has had as many lopsided defeats.
So even among the bad, we're really bad.
I have used the points difference to track the direction of the team for the last few seasons. In 2004 we by far the best losing team, and that was reflected last year when we turned it around. In 2005 we were by far the worst winning team and barely out scored our opponents, so a losing season this year isn't a surprise.
What is a surprise is just how bad of a losing season we are having. We are getting BLOWN out and to turn this around the D needs to be two scores better next season, and the O needs to improve as well. Chances are that will not happen overnight and we are facing a losing stretch similar to the Raiders and 49ers.
Time to put the sunglasses away gents...they will not be required for the foreseeable future.
