What are your takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ performance in the first three games?

Inconsistent. The offense can score a lot of points and throw the ball all over the yard. They enter the game ranked sixth in the league is passing offense as they have picked up right where they left off in 2015. But the defense can’t make a stop when it needs to. 32 points, the number they put up last week, should be enough to win an NFL game and it wasn’t. Consistency is why they are only 1-2.

What are your expectations for Jameis Winston in his second year in the NFL?

More maturity in his decision making. Too many times last year, he would throw into very small windows, leading to bad interceptions. His four picks in week two were not a good sign as he hadn’t thrown that many in a game since early last year. Even so, he always gives Bucs’ fans a glimpse of what he can really be with some fantastic throws. He needs to keep that ascension moving forward.
