The Buccaneers defeated the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1 and beat the New Orleans Saints in Week 2 before falling to Green Bay on Sunday.
Through their first three games of the season, the Buccaneers offense has struggled. They’ve only scored three touchdowns and 53 points in three games.
On First Take this morning, analysts Michael Irvin, Dan Orlovsky, and Stephen A. Smith talked about the Bucaneers-Packers game.
Orlovsky stated how Brady and the Bucs’ struggles are being understated right now:
Orlovsky added that Brady can’t do everything on his own and that the team might not be fine with how they’re playing if they continue down the stretch.
Part of Tom Brady and the Buccaneers’ struggles are due to injuries to receivers
53 points through three games is not typical for a Tom Brady-led team. One of the reasons why the offense has struggled is because of it’s health.
The team has been without Chris Godwin for the first three games of the season as he recovers from a torn ACL he suffered last season.
Tampa Bay has also been without Julio Jones the last few weeks as he’s dealing with a knee injury. They’ll get wide receiver Mike Evans back next week after he missed last week due to a one-game suspension.
The Bucaneers aren’t healthy, but that’s part of football, and they could be in trouble down the stretch if their backups can’t fill in and make an impact.
