Well, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have now dropped to 3-7 on the season as their playoff hopes are now all but gone in Bruce Arians’ first season as the head coach of the pewter and red. This time, the Bucs suffered a loss at the hands of the New Orleans Saints by a score of 34-17; the Saints have now swept the Bucs on the season.
While quarterback Jameis Winston did not play well, he cannot be considered as a top three player that contributed to this beatdown at the hands of the NFC South leaders. Across the board, it was a terrible display of coaching and playing on the offensive and defensive sides of the football.
From blatantly not including Jamel Dean, their best cornerback from a week ago, in their game plan, to trotting Winston back onto the field despite injuring his ankle and the game well out of reach, it was not a pretty display of coaching. The Buccaneers will now look ahead to face the Atlanta Falcons, fresh off back-to-back wins over the Saints and Carolina Panthers.
Here are three players who must walk the plank after contributing to the pewter and red loss to the Saints yesterday.
