Tough Start For Lovie Smith In Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have officially been the most embarrassed team of the season so far. On Thursday Night Football prime time, the Bucs let up 56 points against the Atlanta Falcons. The problem with the picture is not the the Buccaneers are going through growing pains, but that Lovie Smith is supposed to be a defensive genius. Yes, the Bucs were horrible last year. And yes, the Bucs have players out that include Doug Martin, and Adrian Clayborn. However, the simple fact is that the Buccaneers are not only losing but they are getting embarrassed. Last week, they lost to a third-string QB from St. Louis. Lovie Smith got fired from the Bears for a reason, he kept bringing mediocre seasons to a talented team. This is only the second head coaching job for Lovie Smith, before that he was a defensive coordinator for the Rams. It's only the third week of the season, and Smith's first year in Tampa Bay, but if the Bucs keep losing like they did Thursday night then this could be an interesting off season for Lovie Smith.
