Enhanced by soundbite machine John McKay s presence, the expansion Bucs effort will live on as long as the NFL does. The ex-USC coach s two-plus months of two-a-day practices set a bad tone for Tampa Bay s inaugural season, with injuries further weakening the NFL s worst modern-era roster. The 0-14 Bucs minus-287 differential is the worst ever. The Steve Spurrier-quarterbacked team came within one score just twice once to the expansion Seahawks and lost five shutouts. The Bucs did not notch their first win until Week 13 of 1977, but McKay s rebuilt defense did lift the 79 team to the NFC title game.
