Beginning with that noble struggle in ’76 – at a time when expansion teams were given few of the advantages they are given now – the Tampa Bay Buccaneers began a remarkable journey that will soon enter its fourth decade.

Through 28 seasons, the Buccaneers have seen good times and bad, huge home crowds and long road trips, last-second victories and strange defeats, first-round picks who have stumbled and undrafted free agents who have shined, coaching changes, uniform changes, a stadium change, even an ownership change that ushered in a new era of success.

In January of 2003, at the end of the franchise’s 27th season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became home to the Lombardi Trophy after a 48-21 victory over Oakland in Super Bowl XXXVII. Though clearly the most glorious moment in franchise annals (so far!), that day is receding into Buc history as the team pursues new and greater triumphs.

You can relive Super Bowl XXXVII, or any of the Bucs’ more than 450 games of the first 28 seasons here in the History Section. Contained in this section are records of every season, every game, every player, every Pro Bowler and every coach in team history, and more.

From the Season by Season link in the lefthand column you can choose any season from 1976-2003. Within each season, you will find links for that year’s roster, coaches’ roster, individual stats, team stats, game summaries, Pro Bowlers, award-winners and historical notes. In addition, other links in the lefthand column will lead to an all-time roster, team records and the Bucs’ won-lost marks against every team.
