Bucs Still Clinging To Glimmering Hope
Kwan Drake has never experience this kind of frustration before in the PFL. Drake, the 6th winningest coach in PFL history, is beleaguered with set back after set back. Despite the fact that the Bucs have posted an embarrassing 2-9 record, Drake can still turn this nightmarish season into a dream come true, with a few wins and a lot of help from some other teams. That would mean the Bucs would need to run the table and finish 7-9, a feat that isn't entirely impossible if you look at the Bucs record. The Bucs close out with Tony Gray (twice), the Steelers, Dolphins, and Titans. Plus the Bucs are 2-2 in their last four games, the best streak they have enjoyed thus far. Drake's biggest problem has been his inability to close out and win the close games. Two of the Bucs most recent losses (Dallas, Jacksonville) were within 3 points. If the Bucs could have turned the tide in those two games, whey would be sitting at 4-7 instead, with a better shot at perhaps going 9-7. If Drake can rally and back into the playoffs at a 7-9, he would be one of the most dangerous clubs in the AFC. Can you say Creator 97? Gresham backed into the playoffs at 7-9 and ran the table to his first PFL championship. For the Bucs....all they must do is believe.
