By: Alright Tampa Bay. Starting in September, our Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be returning for a pivotal 2012 season with a whole lot to prove. Following a dismal 4-12 2011 season under the direction of now-departed head coach Raheem Morris, the Bucs have a lot to prove in 2012.
Now lead by former Rutgers head coach, Greg Schiano, the Bucs are looking to turn things around and be the amazing team they’ve been -and still can be – in 2012. But, they’ve got some tough competition including their neighbors in the NFC South – The Falcons, Panthers, and Saints – as well as some other tough competition throughout the league.
Upcoming 2012 season highlights include an opening game against the Carolina Panthers, a Thursday night game on the NFL Network in Minnesota on October 25, and a cold game in Denver against Peyton Manning on December 2. Check out the Bucs 2012 season schedule below.
