It doesn't matter if it's because of key injuries, bad coaching or bad players, losing seasons are always going to test everyone's character.I didn't have to wait long at all to experience a losing season in the league. In 1996 as a rookie with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, we went 6-10, and for much of the season, I was miserable. This was something so foreign to me that, at first, I really didn't know how to deal with it.
The first game of the year was a home game against the Green Bay Packers, and not only were we blown out, but our stadium was full of green and gold. At the time, I was just on the practice squad and couldn't believe what I had just seen.
We went on to lose the next four games as well, and eventually, we were 1-8 heading into our 10th game of the year. I have to tell you that the rest of my teammates and I were miserable at that point, and it was hard to stay motivated every week.
We found a way to keep the faith, however, and ended up winning five of our last seven games which set us up for quite a bit of success over the course of the next five years.
The most important lesson I learned from that tough first year is that it takes strong coaching and strong leaders to bring you through the storm and turn things around.
