Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tickets

The 2016-2017 season was a rollercoaster ride for the Buccaneers’ fans. The season kicked off with a change in the team’s front office and ended with a nail-biting win against the Carolina Panthers. Despite obvious ups and downs, the Buccaneers finished that season with a division win, their first winning season in six years.

This most recent season, the Buccaneers failed to improve and finished the regular season 5-11. Now the Buccaneers are on a 10 season streak for not making the playoffs, the last time being in 2007.

This season, the Buccaneers are locked and loaded and ready to make an impact on the NFC playoff picture. With a young and hungry roster, Tampa Bay has their sights set on claiming the NFC South and bringing home another Super Bowl trophy. Aside from battling with cross-state rivals the Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars for bragging rights, Tampa Bay will have to defeat division rivals, the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons, who seek to halt their aspirations.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Arch Rivals

Florida Panthers – The two teams first faced off in 1995 and then moved to the NFC South Division. Since then, the two teams have met during playoffs. Panthers/Buccaneers games are known for being extremely physical with many players getting seriously injured on both sides. Kavika Pittman’s career-ending injury to the knee and Chris Simms’ ruptured spleen are just some of the examples of injuries contracted in their games.

New Orleans Saints – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans Saints met in 1977 for the first time. Despite being in different divisions at the time, the Saints and Buccaneers had regular pre-season games against one another. The Saints have particularly given Tampa a hard time in the 2017-2018 season. Let’s see if Tampa can regain their lead in the 2018 NFL season.
