Celebrate!

The Buccaneers lost to the Atlanta Falcons, 45-24.

The Bucs season is finally over!

It's been a while since a recap of a Bucs game has been posted, with good reason. Today's game versus the Atlanta Falcons marked the tenth straight loss for Tampa Bay and the fith straight blowout loss. The Falcons are a great team, but giving up 42 points before halftime is terrible. Most of their losses have been because of the same issues week in and week out.

It is almost inevitible that many people will lose their jobs with the Bucs in the coming days. Coaches, players, maybe even front office workers. Raheem and Olsen may have coached their last day with the Pewter & Red, and Ronde Barber may retire. And I'm guessing/hoping that many other players will not return next season (more on that in an upcoming post).

By finishing with a 4-12 record, the Bucs will likely get a top-5 draft pick, so there's a bright side. And despite the frustrations, there is a lot of young (and mostly undeveloped) talent on this team. But I think all Buccaneer fans are glad to have this horrific season end; it's almost worth celebrating. So, if you have any left over fireworks....
