Just Win the Game

The biggest thing I’ll be looking for in the Bucs final game is to end this season the right way… with a win. Now although many starters are banged up for both teams, it should be a hard-fought game between divisional rivals. One win at the end of the season to decide whether the team is above .500 or not is crucial. Not only does it propel the Bucs into the offseason with the right momentum after a fantastic season, but it also helps solidify why Dirk Koetter was hired in the first place.

Lovie Smith was fired due to his horrendous coaching which lead to a losing skid to end his final year in Tampa. Now the victims of two straight losses, look for the team to change how they end seasons. This final game will be all about effort. Whether it’s the first string on the field or the third, the Bucs need to end this season on the right note.
