The Culture Of Losing
December 18th, 2009
For the past 13 years or so, there was no such thing as a culture of losing with the Bucs.
Sadly, that may change.
It’s very likely the Bucs will only win one game this year. And unless a number of drastic things happen, the Bucs will likely lose a lot next year as well.
Raheem the Dream is concerned that losing culture may rear its ugly head with the Bucs, reports Anwar Richardson of the Tampa Tribune.
Yet, the Bucs (1-12) are optimistic if they close out this season with three wins, starting with Seattle (5-8) on Sunday, their young players can turn around this franchise next year.
“You better build it in these young guys,” Morris said. “And then next year, you have other people helping you build that. Just like in ’96 when Derrick Brooks, Warren Sapp, (John) Lynch and those guys came here; they built that. They started to build it and then new guys came in, Ronde Barber, Brian Kelly and those types of guys came in and they put it in those guys.
“So it starts running, and after a while you have a whole bunch of guys sitting around with the same mentality and you go out and you play very well.”
Color Joe skeptical. Of course Joe hopes for the best. But unless Bryan and Joel go on a spending spree to shore up a number of holes on this team, specifically the defensive front seven and a wide receiver or two, Joe cannot see the Bucs pulling off a winning season and making a playoff run next year.
Joe sure hopes he’s wrong about that.

Are schedule should be much, much easier next year, and we should have 2-4 new starters with all are low draft picks. I think we could go 9-7 and sneek in the play-offs next year. Of course we could be a train wreck again and win 2-3 games. Time will tell.

Seems Morris is drinking the Dungy revisionist kool aid. Sapp, Brooks and Lynch were on the team before ’96. Dungy had nothing to do with that.
