Tampa Bay Buccaneers Schedule 2019 Buccaneers Schedule

Tampa Bay is going to be without Jameis Winston the first three games of the season, but it was likely not going to be an excuse anyway. They get a brutal schedule to start the season, facing the Saints, Eagles, and Steelers. This likely kicks off an 0-3 start, but even the game on the road against an improved Chicago team is going to be tough. The Bucs have an early Bye Week, but then go on the road against Atlanta, and then take on a couple of AFC North opponents. It does not get any easier in the second half of the season, facing the rest of the NFC East. Washington and New York are better teams, and it will show. They may have a chance against San Francisco, Baltimore, or Dallas, but there is a real possibility this team goes winless this season. While it is a bold claim, this team lacks star power outside of Mike Evans, and will be in a tough place after the first five or six games of the season. The Bucs will be bottom dwellers of the vision, and that is not a bold claim. They could eventually move on from Winston and start making drastic changes to the team mid-year. It will be a tough year overall for this team, and the teams on this schedule have an easy matchup at whatever point they play the Bucs during the season. While tanking is frowned upon, it would not be a surprise to see the Bucs end up with the number one pick.
