About: 1988 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season

An Entity of Type: national football league season, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 1988 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season was the franchise's 13th season in the National Football League the 13th playing their home games at Tampa Stadium and the 2nd under head coach Ray Perkins. Perkins had by now rebuilt the Buccaneers as the NFL's youngest team, having replaced so many veterans that leadership became an issue. A strong draft produced several starters, including standout offensive tackle Paul Gruber. The team was largely competitive and showed an ability to outplay opponents in the second half of games, but continued their tendency toward mental errors, and finished with a disappointing 5–11 record. Second-year quarterback Vinny Testaverde was inconsistent: an effective leader at times, as in their late-season upset of the AFC-leading Buffalo Bills, mistake-prone at others

  • The 1988 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season was the franchise's 13th season in the National Football League the 13th playing their home games at Tampa Stadium and the 2nd under head coach Ray Perkins. Perkins had by now rebuilt the Buccaneers as the NFL's youngest team, having replaced so many veterans that leadership became an issue. A strong draft produced several starters, including standout offensive tackle Paul Gruber. The team was largely competitive and showed an ability to outplay opponents in the second half of games, but continued their tendency toward mental errors, and finished with a disappointing 5–11 record. Second-year quarterback Vinny Testaverde was inconsistent: an effective leader at times, as in their late-season upset of the AFC-leading Buffalo Bills, mistake-prone at others. His 35 interceptions are still (as of 2017) a team record. His frequent costly errors caused the coaching staff to lose confidence in him, and at one point to replace him with backup Joe Ferguson. The team finished the season on a strong note with wins in two of their final three games, including respectable performances against two playoff contenders. (en)
  • La stagione 1988 dei Tampa Bay Buccaneers è stata la 13ª della franchigia nella National Football League. L'allenatore Perkins dovette ricostruire i Buccaneers, la squadra più giovane della lega, avendo rimpiazzato diversi veterani. Delle buone selezioni nel draft produssero diversi titolari, in particolare l'offensive tackle Paul Gruber e il running back . La squadra fu competitiva ma fu tormentata da diversi errori mentali, concludendo con un deludente record di 5–11. Il quarterback al secondo anno Vinny Testaverde fu inconsistente: un efficace leader a volte, un giocatore dai molteplici errori in altre. I suoi 35 intercetti subiti sono ancora un primato di franchigia al 2014. I suoi frequenti errori gli fecero perdere la fiducia dello staff degli allenatori e a un certo punto fu sostituito dalla sua riserva Joe Ferguson. (it)
