 After the Buccaneers' first-ever undefeated preseason, the regular season began with a long losing streak.The Buccaneers missed Williams' strong arm and scrambling ability and were forced to remake their offense as a short passing attack, with running back James Wilder Sr. as the primary target.Opponents were able to shut down that short attack, and the Buccaneers were successful at neither running the ball nor completing deep passes.
