Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2012 Opponents

by Sander on Jan 1, 2012 11:24 PM EST in News

As the season is over, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2012 opponents are now known. The Bucs will face every team in their division twice, every team in the AFC West once and every team in NFC East once. In addition, they'll play the last-place teams in the NFC North and NFC West.

Of the Bucs' 16 2012 opponents, 6 will be coming off playoff berths, but this doesn't mean this schedule will be easy. Only two games were influenced by the Bucs' last place finish, and there are plenty of quality teams on the schedule who didn't make it to the playoffs. The Chargers, Eagles, Panthers and Cowboys all fit the bill in that regard.

This is how the schedule shakes out for the Buccaneers, the actual dates won't be known until the NFL sets the final schedule at some point in April:

Home opponents
Atlanta Falcons
Carolina Panthers
New Orleans Saints
Philadelphia Eagles
Washington Redskins
Minnesota Vikings
Kansas City Chiefs
San Diego Chargers

Away opponents
Atlanta Falcons
Carolina Panthers
New Orleans Saints
Dallas Cowboys
New York Giants
St. Louis Rams
Denver Broncos
Oakland Raiders

DAMN!

the vikings and chiefs are both home games, those are both about three hours away from me, guess it’s gonig to be awhile till I get to see another game in person

Rahdumb the clown and the not ready for prime time players are the worst team in Buc history, the 1976 squad gets a pass cause they were an expansion team, there is no excuse for this garbage!
