is at quarterback for the Buccaneers. A porous defense keeps undermining Tampa Bay's chances of winning.The Bucs (3-5) have lost five of six following a 2-0 start. Neither changing quarterbacks nor firing defensive coordinator Mike Smith has been an answer to ending a tailspin that's dropped the team into a familiar hole: last place in the NFC South Youth Logan Ryan Jersey , where they've finished six of the last seven seasons."I don't think the past equals the future," coach Dirk Koetter said after Sunday's 42-28 loss to the Carolina Panthers, a game the Bucs trailed 35-7 at one point. "We've got to play better football, more consistent football. We have to get off to better starts. We've got to be in the hunt in (the) turnover battle."The Bucs are first in the NFL in passing offense and second in total yards. But well as they've moved the ball through eight games, they're just as bad defensively in allowing a league-high 275 points (34.4 per game) and ranking 30th among 32 teams against the pass.To make matters worse, Tampa Bay hasn't forced a turnover in a club-record five consecutive games.Winston lost his starting job after throwing four interceptions two weeks ago. Fitzpatrick flourished early in the season filling in while Winston was serving a three-game suspension. However, in his last three starts the Bucs have been outscored 103-27 in the opening half.Inconsistency on offense has been part of the problem. Shoddy defense has been a recurring theme, even in the games the Bucs have won.Carolina scored on five straight possessions during one stretch of the first half to build a 28-point lead. Fitzpatrick rallied the team within 35-28 in the fourth quarter before the Panthers put away the game.The loss dropped the Bucs to 2-3 in games started by Fitzpatrick. Winston, who's thrown 10 interceptions in four games Cheap Dion Lewis Jersey , is 1-2.A common denominator in Tampa Bay's three victories is the Bucs have played mostly with the lead and found a way to hold off New Orleans, Philadelphia and Cleveland late.In the other five games 鈥?all losses 鈥?opponents have compiled double-digit leads in the first half, and the offense has spent the second half trying to make up ground.Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul said players have to own the ineffectiveness."It's frustrating, but that's on the players. It's not on the coaches. It's on us, it's on me," Pierre-Paul said. "I'm tired of the coaches saying they have to take it because it's up to the players to play ball."Koetter said poor tackling was the primary culprit against the Panthers. Mistakes on offense and special teams contributed to falling by 28 in the second quarter."We actually did start fast on defense," Koetter said Monday. "On those five straight drives where they scored, on three of those drives we put them in horrible field position with an interception, two sacks Brian Orakpo Jersey , a punt return and a fake punt."Fitzpatrick rallied the team from a big second-half deficit for the second straight week, only to fall short in the end, throwing for 243 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions.Not good enough to win, but encouraging enough the Koetter said the 35-year-old will start again Sunday at home against Washington."We know we have the talent, it's just we can't keep digging ourselves in these holes, especially on the road," Fitzpatrick said."I don't know that there is an answer or a magical formula or anything; it's just frustrating right now to not play well and then play well in spurts," the quarterback added. "We're just not a very consistent team and not a consistent offense right now."Titans listed as heavy favorites to sign Dez Bryant The Dallas Cowboys made a big decision this offseason http://www.titanscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-logan-ryan-jersey , deciding to move on from Dez Bryant. The 29 year old receiver was set to count 16.5 million dollars against the cap in 2018, forcing the Cowboys’ hand after showing signs of slowing down last year. The move received a lot of attention and immediate speculation about what could be next for Dez, but the market has been awfully quiet since Bryant reportedly turned down a multi-year offer from the Ravens. Dez seems to be waiting things out, ready to pounce on the best situation that comes available. The Titans’ receiver situation wasn’t great through OTAs as both Corey Davis and Rishard Matthews dealt with injuries. It was puzzling to see the team not address the position more with a mid-tier veteran during free agency, simply for depth reasons. Naturally, with Dez Bryant still available, one sports book has made the obvious connection. Sportsline.com has named the Titans as heavy (-200) favorites to sign the veteran receiver. These odds boil down to playing simple connect the dots. The Titans’ top two receivers have been hurt and the team doesn’t have much experience behind them. Naturally, the Titans land as the favorite. But would the team add such a big personality to the locker room? Taking it one step further, is adding a guy who struggled to separate and took a clear step backwards last year the best thing to do? It doesn’t sound like Jon Robinson’s style Cheap Corey Davis Jersey , but if injuries linger on, we can’t rule it out. Still, I think the Titans would be better served waiting things out and seeing what comes available during camp cuts. Knowing what you know now, would you sign Dez Bryant?
