While thinking about the Minnesota Vikings first opponent of the 2023 NFL season I can’t help but think about that team’s past. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been in the league since 1976. Initially, they were one of the worst teams in league history. Then they surprised everyone with a singular playoff run. Then they went into a long stretch of mediocrity. Things changed for the Buccaneers in the 2000s. They won Super Bowl XXXVII with an excellent defense. They won Super Bowl LV with Tom Brady. One of the peculiar aspects of the Buccaneers history is that the league jammed them into the NFC Central division. Geography be damned, from 1977-2001, the team from Florida competed in the same division with the Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, and Detroit Lions. On the eve of the Vikings season-opener, here’s an All - Time Tampa Bay Buccaneers Team.
