After watching the past two weeks of Buccaneers football, there are a lot of questions running through the minds of every Buc fan.

So, who was the real Bucs team… week two or week three? The answer to that quite simply is neither… or well both kinda.

Unfortunately for Buc fans it still does not look like the season that the Bucs finally make their way up the ladder to the Super Bowl. If you were surprised by that comment what so ever, I want you to reevaluate the situation.

So it comes down to this… has Jameis Winston progressed enough to consider himself a top tier quarterback. The answer to this is absolutely not, but he is on his way. I for one will be the hardest critic on Winston only due to his inabilities that have been shown early on in his career. Yes he is extremely talented, but 26 turnovers in 17 games is a stat that can only be listed as pathetic.

If the Bucs team is going to make any progress, most of that relies on number three. Whether he can make a change in his lack of protecting the football or not is a major tell tale if the Bucs make it to the playoffs this season.

What else is holding this team back? Where the h*** is the edge pressure. Once again the Bucs seem to have one of the worst edge pressure units in the game. Noah Spence is injured. Robert Ayers is injured. Who blossoms? Nobody.

Here is a plea to Mr. Jason Licht… stop neglecting the lack of talent at defensive end before the Glazers come for you.

Sincerely, a very upset Bucs fan.
