The Bucs have changed quarterbacks (again), fired another coordinator (again), and now have a completely different defensive scheme than the one that surrendered an embarrassing 267 yards on the ground.

Unfortunately for Tampa Bay, it's the same one that surrendered 299 yards on the ground in a game that had very different circumstances riding on it last December.

Indeed, what a difference a year makes for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers. Since that fateful Monday night on Dec. 8th last season, the Bucs have gone 1-14, while the Panthers have managed a 7-9 record (including the playoffs).

Carolina was one-and-doned in the postseason, while the Bucs pretty much blew up everything and started from scratch.

Now both teams return to the scene of their decline, searching for victory and hoping it's the start of a new rise back to NFL prominence.
