If were going to be fair, the Bucs are no longer 0-8 and an embarassment. Instead, the Bucs are 2-0 in the second half of the season, and in the middle of a two game winning streak,
Good luck trying to explain that to someone! And yes even though the wins were over pudrid teams, isnt that how you would describe the Bucs too before they started this streak?
The Bucs have gone through stages…First losing close games they should have won. Then they seems to have given up, getting stomped out of the stadium by double digit losses.
But something happened. Players said they started to pick up on changes by Schiano. Whatever it was, the Bucs went out to Seattle and pounded the Seahawks to a 21-0 lead before giving it up in the second half. But they faught to the end and the rest is history.
Whats next though? Bucs fans are going to be watching carefully, because a lot hangs in the balance.
Mike Glennon and Greg Schiano have their futures on the line, and they depend on what takes place in the next 6 weeks. Up next are 4 games on the road, two at home. More important, 4 of the next 6 games are against teams that could be playoff bound. So its a very real test to show the Bucs fans and the rest of the world what changes, if any, have been made and have stuck.
They are going to have to do it without the benefit of several starters who are out for the season. Josh Freeman has been banished to the 3rd string…on another team! No.2 WR Mike Williams was lost for the year. No. 22 Doug Martin, the wonder running back, was lost too.
Talk about Catch 22s, the Bucs will have either a top draft pick next year, or evidence of an established NFL QB. If Mike Glennon wins, the Bucs wont have a top draft pick. If he loses, then the Bucs will know they dont have the QB of the future and will be in a spot to draft one.
Stay Tuned, The Bucs will take on the 49ers, Buffalo Bills, Saints, Panthers, Rams too. You wont want to miss this!
