Experts Say Not Much Hope For Winless Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of three winless football teams and some experts do not believe things will get better anytime soon.

During NBC Sports’ “Football Night in America” last night, analysts Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison were asked about the NFL’s winless teams (St. Louis, Tennessee and Tampa Bay) and neither gave any squad much hope for this season: 

ON HOPE FOR THE WINLESS TEAMS

Harrison: “There’s always hope but if you look at the one common denominator with these teams they just play bad football. They’re not fundamentally sound. They make a lot of penalties. They turn the ball over. They can’t tackle. They can’t block. Just bad football all over the place.”

Dungy: “And they’re not getting great quarterback play, that’s the other thing. When you don’t get great quarterback play, you’ve got to play smart and you’ve got to play hard. And I’m not seeing a lot of smart football from these teams, and that’s why I think there’s not much hope.”
