Based in Tampa Bay, Florida, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are members of the South Division of the National Football Conference in the National Football League. The team presently plays its home games at the Raymond James Stadium and is owned by Malcolm Glazer.
The Buccaneers franchise was first established in 1976, along with the Seattle Sea Hawks, as an NFL expansion team. During its first year, Tampa Bay played in the AFC but then moved, again with Seattle, to play in the NFC the following season.
After several years of success in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Tampa Bay suffered through fourteen losing seasons in a row. However, since 1996, the Buccaneers have been repeated playoffs contenders, even winning a Super Bowl title in 2002. In addition to their Super Bowl title, the Buccaneers have also attained 1 conference championship and 6 division titles in their history.
In 2008, Tampa Bay finished in 7th place of the NFC with a 9-7 record that left the team close to obtaining a Wild Card playoff berth; however, the Buccaneers lost their final four games of the season, leaving them out of the postseason. Now with new coach Raheem Morris, the Buccaneers have high expectations for 2009.
