Not many fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thought that talk of a possible playoff berth as late as the first week of December for the club was going to be possible this season. However slim the chances remain for the Buccaneers appearing in post-season, the talk remains. Tampa Bay is currently seeded 9th in the NFC and lose out on a tie-breaker with the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins, with all three teams sitting with a 6-6 overall record.
The first order of business for the Buccaneers is to win out all four of their remaining games. The loss last Sunday in Denver was almost expected, but the loss at home to the Atlanta Falcons in Tampa did a lot of damage. Seattle and Chicago, two teams ranked above them in the playoff seedings both lost.
Tampa Bay has been a vastly improved team this season but some glaring holes remain with the pass rush and pass defense. The offseason and the 2013 NFL Draft will have to focus on the defensive side of the ball this offseason.

I’m back Juan!!!

He has scored a TD in 3 out of 4 games and athough he hasn’t put up big yardage numbers, he’s certainly a viable option down the stretch of the season. Heath was one of my biggest concerns, but...

Adrian Clayborn Disses Cowboys O-Lineman on Twitter
Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Adrian Clayborn is on injured reserve and currently out for the season. The last game Clayborn played in was against the Dallas Cowboys back in September.
I would assume Clayborn has some sort of issue with Cowboys guard Doug Free, because as Dallas was battling the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night, Clayborn was on Twitter ripping him.
