Five things that could wrong for the Buccaneers this season

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the hottest team in the league heading into the 2020 season and much of that has to do with the additions in the offseason.

The Buccaneers elected to sign QB Tom Brady to a nice two-year, $50 million deal that put the franchise on the map.

Since that point, the Buccaneers brought back several key pieces along the defensive front-seven from last year, made a trade for TE Rob Gronkowski and had one of the most successful drafts in recent history.

All of that should lead to success this season, right?

Over the course of this offseason, I’ve written tons of posts giving high expectations for the Buccaneers this season, but we’re going to play a little devil’s advocate today.

Here’s a look at five things that could go totally wrong for the Buccaneers this season.

5. No fans allowed

Here’s one that is certainly up-in-the-air at this point, but seems to be facing more reality than not as we head into the summer.

While having fans in the stands has little bearing on the team’s success- at least over the course of a long-term season- it would be something to go totally wrong in Tampa. Why?

Well, more season tickets have been bought for this coming Buccaneers season than anything we’ve come close to seeing in the recent past. Tickets to see Tom Brady and the Bucs on the road are going for a pretty penny and it’s clear that there’s a lot of economic profit to be made off of this team.

That being said, the franchise will likely be forced to lose some of that revenue as it looks like- at least currently- that the best scenario is fans are allowed to be in the stadium in limited capacity.

It’s no one’s fault and not anything that can be controlled, but it just seems like the luck of this franchise to have their biggest ticket-drawer in history come at a time where tickets may not be able to be sold.
