While a number of Bucs fans are even more depressed than Jim Bates these days, Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network offers Bucs fans a slim ray of hope.

And Joe emphasizes the word “slim.”

La Canfora is of the mind that the Bucs will actually win a game this season. Which game, La Canfora wasn’t clear in a recent chat on NFL.com.

Oddly enough in the chat, the very first question was about the Bucs.

Do you think that the Bucs will win a game this season?

It’s going to be a challenge, but I do think they’ll manage to win a game, given the odds, how turnovers have a way of equalizing things out. I believe they will win, but asking for more than one win at this point may be a bit much for where this team is right now.

Right now about the only game Joe sees the Bucs having a chance of winning is at Seattle. Given the Bucs fortunes of regular season games on the west coast, that’s not very encouraging.
