Strength of schedule: Tampa Bay Bucs February, 11, 2014 By Pat Yasinskas | ESPN.com TAMPA, Fla. -- Even after a 4-12 season in 2013, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers don’t have an easy 2014 schedule. The total 2013 win-loss percentage for their 2014 opponents comes to .484. That gives the Bucs the 19th-most difficult schedule in the league. Surprisingly, NFC South rivals Carolina and New Orleans, who both made the playoffs last season, face easier schedules. Tampa Bay’s home schedule is especially hard as the Bucs face opponents that combined for a .523 winning percentage. Their road schedule is a little easier (.445). Tampa Bay’s home opponents are the Falcons, Panthers, Saints, Packers, Vikings, Rams, Ravens and Bengals. The road schedule consists of games against the Falcons, Panthers, Saints, Bears, Lions, Redskins, Browns and Steelers.
The only reason they both have easier strength of schedules is because they face us twice next year.

Exactly ! We play the exact same teams sans 2. I put no value in the SoS.
Not to mention last years records doesn't mean jack to this years teams.
Leave it to Pat Y to state the obvious and leave out the reasoning to try and create some type of a story.
Man, another terrible article. Let's see, the Bucs have four games against 12-4 Carolina and 11-5 New Orleans. The Panthers and Saints get four games against 4-12's Atlanta and Tampa Bay. Gee, why do the Bucs have a tougher strength of schedule?
