And then it all totally imploded for the Buccaneers. Their fifth straight defeat and an absolute blowout in
embarrassing fashion to the Saints. Once again only three points by half-time and then after the loss once
again of Jameis with his shoulder injury, fighting and late hits showed a total lack of discipline on the sideline.
The loss of William Gholston to a neck injury just sucked the remaining life out of the team on the day.
