Nothing "happened" to them. They're definitely in a rebuilding year right now though.  I've been a fan of the Bucs for years now and will continue to be no matter how bad they are.  Hey, we had our moments of glory and it was great while it lasted but you can't always be on top.  There's 32 teams and someones gotta be #32. \n\nAnyways, to answer your question....we have a 6th round draft pick rookie QB, and although he has a lot of potential I don't believe he was ready to play this year.  He definitely shows all the signs of being a rookie (checking down all the time, making the "safe" play)  That, along with many other injuries plaguing our defense, and just not being as good as we use to be in general is pretty much what happened.  We have a very young team with a lot of potential, but they have to learn to work together and when they can do that and get everything lined up, they'll start winning again.  \n\nBut I still love 'em!  GO BUCS!

A rare fluke. Atlanta came in cocky, and got knocked down by a humble, prepared team. I kind of wish the Lions could win at least one super bowl, never mention actually get into the playoffs (maybe a retelling of the 2001 Pats cinderella story next year).

Whatever they paid... wasn't worth it. Millions of fans were heart-broken.\nBTW, you sure they paid? You know our football players tend to have the worst luck ever.

Tampa Bay is still a minor league ball club. Even Lou Pinella couldn't get them to win. Have they ever finished a season over 500?? There is no one they have to trade away to bolster their club except the players you mentioned. If they retain all four, whom will they trade that any other team would want?\n\nSorry, but I have to call them as I see them.

Sorry, but the 49ers are coming off some tough breaks and are actually doing better than I would have guessed.  Alex Smith is still developing, and they have to completely rebuild from the old days with Steve Young and Jerry Rice.\n\nTheir team is still young, and with maturity, experience, and a first round draft pick or two they should be up and running.

While the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are often considered the worst NFL team of all-time, finishing 0-14, I would consider the 1934 Cincinnati Reds to be the worst NFL team of all time.  The 1934 team was the second and final year of existence for the franchise.  The Reds finished (0-8) and were outscored on the season 243 to 10.  They were shut out six of the eight games, including 41-0, 38-0, and 64-0 in three of their final four games.  They played four home games, all in different stadia.  Two of the four home games weren't even played in Cincinnati -- one in Dayton, OH and one in Portsmouth, OH.  Following the 64-0 loss at Philadelphia, the team folded and the franchise was purchased by a group in Saint Louis, MO.  \n\nAs far as modern day teams, all four of the teams mentioned can be considered pathetic.  I'd also add the Houston Texans to that list, although they've only been in existence for four complete seasons.  The Cardinals, Lions, and Saints have been pathetic for a much longer period of time, in my opinion.

Hello fellow member of the Raider Nation.  Frankly, I'm disappointed.  How can you pass up your franchise QB in Matt Leinart?!?!?! WTF!!!  Michael Huff may be a hard hitter, but he's not going to bring the organization out of extinction.  Now Aaron Brooks is our QB.  Its going to be a rough year, but hang in there.\n\nJust Win Baby!\n\nP.S. "Jet" can go f*ck himself.

Well Obviously ALL these people havn't been paying attention to anything thats been going on with the Raiders. So why don't you let someone that knows their head from there (you know what) Give you a Real Answer!!!!\n\n#1 I'll tell you whats wrong with all the other answers first. Cause its always easy to pick apart other peoples crappy answers.\n\n1st Answer= They are not way over the cap!!! Ever team had to be under the Cap by Midnight a few days ago. \n2nd Answer=Well they said it best "jumble" thats about it.\n3rd Answer=Well I like this Answer but its not complete. \n............... CJAB01 Good Answer!!!\n4th Answer= Started out alright but fell apart in a hurry. Rest of the team a disaster? LOL I dont' think so. Plus Woodsen is already gone!! So is Gibson,Stone, and a few others. You really think Jay Cutler is going to drop to 7th!!! Wow apparently you havn't seen a mock draft yet. But I'll move on anyways.\nAnswer 5+6= 5 nice comment 6 even better \nLOL Answer 7= started out nice but after the but it got sickning!!!!!!! Reason #1 he says it will not land them a much needed QB, well the current Mock Draft has Oakland drafting Vince Young!!!! So that reason totally sucked!!!\nReason 2, He says al davis is a great coach!!! He's the frikin OWNER OF THE TEAM!!!!! Reason 3 he got right though.\nToughest division, well he said second but its the toughest. Only one team had a harder opp winning % then the Raiders did last year. That was San Diego with .559\nWell the next answer the guy is a complete idiot. He answers all his questions just like that one. I followed him around a bit. And the last answer is pretty darn Good. Way to go. Now I'll give mine, even though I've shed some light already.\n\nWhats my opinion of the Oakland Raiders?\n\nWell first of all you have to be more afraid of their fans now adays then their players. Oakland has the Rowdiest Fans in the NFL. No other team has the famous BLACK HOLE!!!\n\nBefore the 90's they had the Highest Winning Percentage in the NFL and were the only team to win a Super Bowl in 3 decades in a row 60's 70's 80's. They almost had another one but was betrayed by Jon Gruden and beat by a team that was in their huddle all game.\n\nThey've done what all the fans have been asking for this year. They've dropped Norv Turner. They've Gotten rid of Charles Woodson, Derrick Gibson, and most of, well this dang NFL meeting crap is holding it off but Most likely they'll be rid of Kerry Collins who is to make 9.2 mil this year. \n\nAnother (+) is they hired Hall of Famer Art Shell and a vast array of coaches who might be able to get the job done. Its time to get back to the OLD SCHOOL for the Raiders and hopefully they'll get nasty this year!!!\n\nI've also heard it won't hurt to let Andrew Walter get the nod this year and see what he can do. But if Vince Young falls to 7th like expected, they'll Have to draft him and Collins will forsurely hit the door. \n\nOkay so the labor deal has been met. Good but we will have to play the "What IF" Game. As a sports writer wrote. Until the draft and free agency is over we don't know how the team will round out. Drew Brees would be a great pickup.\n\nBut overall I expect this year to be alot better year. Once sports writer said don't be suprised if Oakland wins 9 or 10 games this year. They have an easier Home schedule for once after being screwed year after year. So I think we might finally see a winning season. This last 3 year run has been the longest since Al Davis has been running the show. So this is the year. Randy Moss hopefully will be healthy. Last year he was second to terrell owens before he was injured. So a healthy Moss along side Jerry Porter should bold well. I hear they will go back to a Running game finally and Lamont Jordan won't fall off the map toward the end of the season again. In Salary Cap he started out at something li

Mr. K, I'm sorry to say that they have a very slim chance.  But stranger things have happened.  The good news is they have a few good young players in their farm system, so look out for the Rays in 2008.\n\nOtherwise, in 2006, a snowball's chance in August.

Their defense will be mediocre again.  No DL and still no linebackers.  I don't understand why they didn't make an attempt at Julian Peterson.  Their DB's will be exposed again because they will get no pressure up the middle or off the corners.

You betcha, they will~!\nThe Pirates problems begin and end with the ownership, and the lack of monies to deal with the players of today, and their salaries.  \n\nThe Bucs have one of the very best farm team establishments, in all baseball history right now, and therefore, it is only a matter of time, \n(I would guess 4, maybe 5 years hence) before they are serious contenders for the National League Pennant\n\nGo Pirates!!  ((this from a Cards fan, too))\n\nIsn't Baseball just the very best game ever??

Well, the starter was Bob Griese (father of the Bucs QB Brian Griese).  But he got injured mid-way through the season, and career back-up Earl Morrall quarterbacked many/most of the wins.  (I'd have to look-up the actual number of games, but I thought you'd want a quick answer.)  Jim Del Gaizo was on the roster, but only took a few snaps during "garbage time."  Morrall was "da man!"

They have lost 10 in a row--have been swept in their last 3 series--I am not sure they are capable of winning another game--however they are playing Tampa Bay this weekend, so hopefully they can win at least one of those games!!!!

they let the bullpen go.  they cant hold leads late in the game.  they have also forgot how to play defence.  they are commiting way too many errors and giving teams second and third chances.

Why did they win???\n\nThey played hard ... fought great battles against great teams ... they came out the victor this year.  \n\nWell see where come through on the draft in a week and we'll get a better picture if they'll be back next year, or if this is their shinning moment.

What happened to them? They don't show up at their games. The Browns play to lose and are the joke of the NFL.I've watched a few of their games this season and they always find a way to lose even if they have a team beat.San Diego played horribly against them and still won.maybe they can beat Detroit or something, MAYBE.
