The Buccaneers had their least inspiring performance of 2017 in a 30-10 loss to the division leading Saints – and that’s saying something.

Pack it up, Buccaneers fans. This season went out with a whimper – and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet. With yet another disastrous performance, the finger pointing and people to blame is at an all time high. The offense was pathetic, the defense was semi-decent for about a quarter, and the team is left with more questions than answers.

When did this all go wrong?

For a team that supposedly has more talent than just about any Bucs team in recent memory – at least on the offensive side of the ball – we’re all left constantly wondering how things went so bad so fast.

Is it the coaching? Is it the players? Is it our own fault for buying into the hype set forth by last season, the free agency period, the draft, HBO, and the swagger this team appeared to have during training camp?

Whatever it is, there are no answers in sight. The team looked almost as if they quit on Sunday, which isn’t something we’ve seen out of them in quite a few seasons. The players keep spewing the same bogus clichés yet not ever getting any better. The coaches do the same.

Let’s pick six…
