Dirk Koetter says the Bucs are mired in a depressing pattern this season.

Make that 11 seasons.

Koetter was referring to Tampa Bay’s habit of falling far behind in the opening half, only to stage a comeback bid that falls short. We’ve seen that play out against the Steelers, Falcons, Bengals and Panthers while the Bucs dropped 5-of-6 after a 2-0 start.

The overarching pattern, however, is far more depressing. The playoff drought is almost certain to reach 11 years and another regime change appears likely.

This team has changed defensive coordinators and quarterbacks, yet the losing continues. (more…)
