2024 Season Projection!
WELCOME TO THE 2024 TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
LET'S GET READY TO RUMBULL! - The 2024 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to face a challenging season with a projected record of 5-12, placing them third in the NFC South. This outlook reflects a combination of a tougher schedule and the team's overall roster changes and performance issues from the previous season.
Key Factors Impacting the 2024 Season:
Quarterback Situation: Baker Mayfield remains the starting quarterback, supported by Kyle Trask and John Wolford. Mayfield had a solid 2023 season but will need to overcome a declining receiving corps and improved competition within the division.
Offensive Line: The offensive line has seen upgrades with the addition of Graham Barton, who is expected to start at center or guard. Tristan Wirfs continues to be a standout at tackle, but the guard positions remain a concern.
Skill Positions: Wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are crucial but aging pieces of the offense. Their production has been declining, and there is little depth behind them unless rookie Jalen McMillan makes an immediate impact.
Running back Rachaad White is noted for his receiving abilities but is not a standout runner.
Defense: The defense regressed in 2023, particularly in the pass rush and secondary. Improvements are needed from young players like Chris Braswell and Tykee Smith. The departure of Devin White leaves a significant gap at linebacker, although Lavonte David and K.J. Britt will attempt to fill that void.
Special Teams: Kicker Chase McLaughlin had a strong season last year, providing some stability in the special teams unit.
Conclusion
The Buccaneers have made some strategic moves in the draft and free agency to address their weaknesses, but the overall expectation is for a regression from their 9-8 record in 2023. The improved competition within the division and a more challenging schedule are significant factors contributing to this projection.

Peanut Butter/Brittle Cannonballs
Substitute almond or nut butter for those with peanut butter allergies.
In a large bowl, add peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla, salt and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixture until everything is combined.
Roll in peanut brittle
Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop (or about two tablespoons) to portion out the peanut butter/brittle mixture. Roll the 1-ounce portions into smooth balls and place onto a baking sheet.
Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes.
Combine coconut oil and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between, until the mixture is melted.
Stick a toothpick or a skewer into a peanut butter ball and dip it into the chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off and then put it onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
Repeat until all the cannonballs are coated. Chill in the fridge for at least 45 minutes before serving.
