The Buccaneers came out the gates in Week 2 on fire. Dominated Chicago from start to finish, and increased their already climbing levels of hype to all new heights.

Then, in Week 3, the same Buccaneers came down to earth hard and fast. A string of injuries, illnesses, and miscommunications on both sides of the ball, lead to Tampa being dismantled by the Vikings in Minnesota for their first loss of the season.

Now, the Bucs enter Week 4 looking to right the ship a bit, and get to 2-1 before making a not so friendly trip to the New England Patriots’ turf.

So which team will we see Week 4? Which Buccaneers is the real version we should expect in 2017?
