From 1977 to 2001 the Bucs were in the NFC Central division with the Bears, Packers, Vikings, and Lions. Every year when the Tampa Bay Bucs would play Green Bay, you could count on at least 2 Chris Berman \u201cBay of Pigs\u201d invasion references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their NFC Central foes absolutely feasted on Tampa for year. From their inception, the Bucs lost 26 straight games in their first two seasons and didn\u2019t win a game in year one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1979 behind OC Joe Gibbs and QB Doug Williams, Bucco Bruce\u2019s Boys became the first post AFL-NFL merger expansion team to win their division, win a playoff game, and host a conference championship. Then their fans endured 14 consecutive losing seasons from 1983 to 1996. But then, things got interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HOFer Tony Dungy was brought in as head coach, taking over from roster architect Sam Wyche. 1997 the Buccaneers had their first winning season since 1982 and made the playoffs. Behind a stifling defense, they made the playoffs in 4 of 5 seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jon Gruden replaced Dungy and Tampa won its first Super Bowl in 2002, and absolute dismantling of the Raiders, Gruden\u2019s former team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1998 they moved out of original stadium \u201cThe Big Sombrero\u201d Tampa Stadium that had hosted several Super Bowls, into Raymond James Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Buccaneers and Ravens are the only two NFL franchises who are undefeated in multiple Super Bowl appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers Stadium<\/strong>: Raymond James Stadium<br><strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers Logo<\/strong>: Bucco Bruce.
