2008 Team Preview: Tampa Bay Buccaneers – NFC South

2007 Record: 9-7
Key Losses: John Wade (C), Greg Spires (DE)
Key Additions: Warrick Dunn (RB), Jeff Faine (C), Marques Douglas (DE)

Jeff Garcia played over his head often last year and perhaps allowed this team to over achieve.  Still, plenty of talent there to win some games and always tough at home.  Very difficult to ignore one very key stat.  In ‘06 TB was -11 in turnovers (4-12).  Last year they were +15 as the record improved (9-7).  So success here could very much depend on where that stats falls this season.  This is a very tough division and I just don’t see TB having enough to improve on last seasons record.

2008-09 Predicted Record: 8-8
