Florida Sports Blog tracks games, injuries, roster moves, coaching decisions, the NFL Draft, free agency, schedules and NFC playoff races while providing a dedicated home for Buccaneers news and analysis. Tampa Bay entered the NFL as an expansion franchise in 1976 and endured an 0-26 start before reaching the NFC Championship Game in only its fourth season, in 1979.
