Joe brings you the power rankings from various national media outlets for the Bucs bye week. It ain’t pretty folks.

Mike Sando of BSPN has the Bucs at No. 30.

With nine games left, is it too soon to hand over the offense to rookie Josh Freeman?

Adrian Hasenmayer of FoxSports.com is even more harsh with the Bucs dead last.

With all due respect to young QB Josh Johnson, this should have been Josh Freeman’s gig the entire time — tough Tampa schedule or not. With the Bucs headed into a bye week, the rookie first-rounder will get all the first-team reps for the rest of the season in what will be very accurately portrayed as “learning under fire.”

Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com isn’t as rough on the Bucs, ranking them at No. 30.

One has to wonder if Raheem Morris will make it longer than one year. There are doubts about it now.

Clifton Brown of SportingNews.com predicts bad things for the Bucs at No. 31.

Look at their schedule, and look at their team. A winless season is quite possible.

Knox Bardeen of Fanhouse.com also has the Bucs deadlast at No. 32.

The Bucs enter their bye week with a huge decision looming over their heads. The season is lost and Josh Johnson is floundering. Is it time to hand the quarterback job to the future of the franchise, Josh Freeman? Whoever is throwing the ball in Tampa, don’t expect too many wins from here on out.
