Leeman Bennett's second season was even worse than his first. Although the 2-14 mark was the same, this Buc team was definitely the worst in franchise history. Veteran players were released at mid-season to save money and in one five-game stretch, the team lost by an average of 30 points. It is still amazing this team even won two games and I have long felt that the expansion 1976 Buccaneers could have whipped their butts.
