The 2025 Buccaneers: Good Teams Find a Way, Bad Teams Find an Excuse

0

In all my years of watching Buccaneers football, I can proclaim one thing that I know will happen and that is “Injuries WILL happen!”

I chuckle when I hear people say that the Bucs are cursed because  they are losing more people to injuries than another team.
Another one of my favorites is trying to  blame  the training staff or coaches when a player gets hurt. The Bucs have invested millions into their training staff and have one of the best facilities in the league.
I get it, it sucks, but look around the league and every team WILL lose someone or multiple people each week. The reason why the Buccaneers have been able to overcome these injuries is because they have a great GM and put a premium on scouting and developing players.
It’s also why that even missing multiple starters this week, the Bucs have enough talent to win vs Seattle. I see another close game but this year’s squad seems hell bent on not turning one loss into a losing streak. They seem to hate losing as much as they love winning.
The formula is simple, stop the run and force Sam Darnold to beat them. Then on Offense, give Baker Mayfield that extra second to find the open guy and use Rachaad White and Sran Tucker to wear out the Seahawks on the ground.

Of all the NFL teams that I could follow, why did I choose the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? It was 1979, I was an impressionable 12-year-old living in Canada. At that time, getting any NFL coverage was tough enough but that was reserved for the elite teams like the Cowboys, Steelers etc. I watched one game at 1 PM and one game at 4 PM. That was it. No Redzone, no night games on Sunday Each Christmas my family would drive from Montreal to visit my aunt in Jacksonville. I remember seeing the Bucs playing on TV against the Falcons when I was there. I saw something that day that changed my fandom forever. There was a QB wearing number 12, in an orange jersey and he wasn’t white! As a minority myself, seeing a non-white QB was something that immediately I was drawn to. I knew that this was the team, and this was the guy who I would follow. The years between 1979 and 1997 were obviously difficult but my fandom never wavered. If anything, it made me stronger as a person. I’ve often joked that I’ve had 3 wives but only ONE football team. I was asked if I wanted to write the occasional article for Bucs Report. Talking and writing about the Bucs is a full-time hobby so of course my answer was YES. I’m 56, retired and living in Costa Rica now. I sport 4 Buc tattoos and have been fortunate to make many visits to Tampa to watch the Bucs. I’ve made countless friends and even more memories. I look forward to chatting and interacting with the many Buccaneer fans throughout the world. Go Bucs Greg D’Cruz
