The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are beginning the Jameis Winston era this Sunday, and any optimism they had coming into the 2015 NFL season seems to have flown out the window already.

Winston has thrown some interceptions and made some bad plays, meanwhile his Marcus Mariota is lighting it up during his debut on the other sideline.

The lowlights of the Buccaneers might be this play when Jameis Winston went down in the backfield. The person to bring him down, his own right tackle.

He could’ve gotten back up, but the Titans player that basically drove the right tackle back into Winston was there to jump on him and complete the sack.

It looks like 2015 is going to be a long year for Bucs fans. The fans let the Buccaneers hear it as they left the field for the end of the first half, raining down boos towards the team.

It is certainly justified from their perspective, but it is Winston’s first game and he has a long career ahead of him. He can get the ball rolling.
