With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense struggling this season, this is probably not the way they wanted to start things out today against the Carolina Panthers.
Facing a 1st & 10 on their opening drive, it looked like the Bucs were about to get things going when Tom Brady aired it out downfield to a wide open Mike Evans. But in a very unfamiliar fashion, Evans totally botched it.
They don’t come much easier than that.
The good news is that the Buccaneers are playing a Panthers teams whose offense is even more dysfunctional than their own. So you’d think that this won’t end up costing Tampa in the long run…
However, based on how they’ve been playing, I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Stay tuned.
