Their place in NFL history is complete - the only expansion team to lose every game in an entire season. The perfect 0-14 Bucs who only three times came within a touchdown of winning. The butt of jokes across America and a team that will remain synonomous with failure forever. In a way, the 1976 Buc team will always be more famous than the Super Bowl-winning one. Some team wins the Super Bowl every year but until the 2008 Lions, only the 1976 Bucs went winless. BUCPOWER.COM has produced a special series of features on the expansion Bucs from profile pages for all 149 players involved at some point, to background stories, features and interviews.
