As usual, Joe brings you how the national media types think of the Bucs. Brace yourselves Bucs fans, this will be brutal.

Mike Sando of BSPN.com has the Bucs dead last.

This is officially the worst team in the league now that the Rams have finally won a game.

Adrian Hasenmayer of FoxSports.com also has the Bucs dead last.

Man, even on a bye week the Buccaneers still lost — with both the Rams and Titans winning their first games of the year, Tampa remains as the league’s only winless crew. Only nine more to go…

Former Bucs beat writer Don Banks of SI.com isn’t as harsh, rating the Bucs at No. 31.

Let’s all lower the bar of expectation for rookie quarterback Josh Freeman as his era begins in Tampa Bay. Freeman doesn’t have to look as good as Mark Sanchez, Matthew Stafford, Joe Flacco or Matt Ryan looked as rookie starters. He just has to look a tiny bit better than Josh Johnson and Byron Leftwich looked for this year’s Bucs.

Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com also has the Bucs at No. 32.

The Josh Freeman Era begins, and it’s the right thing to do. They have to get him going for the future. Why wait?
