Talk to Bucs folks about how AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht wants to mold the team, and part of it is culture.

Joe’s written about this several times. The Bucs have a losing culture, and many players from a losing culture fill the roster. What else explains how four starters shrugged their shoulders and confessed on record how the team wasn’t ready to play against the sorry Saints at home in December, with a wild card berth in reach. And then the Bucs nosedived, losing four straight to close the season, three against garbage teams.

One reason the Bucs drafted America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, was his drive and passion to win. Losing eats at him. Bucs folks will even sat they are seeking ballplayers with the same Jameis type of drive and passion and desire to win, whatever it takes.

Team Glazer has a pattern, and the rare times they speak publicly, they sometimes mention this: They look at how teams finish a season when they assess them. Chucky was launched after the Bucs, mainly due to an aging roster, collapsed to close 2008 with four losses. In many ways, the franchise has yet to recover from that fateful January Friday evening.

There was Raheem Morris, fresh off a 10-win season (in retrospect, one of the better coaching jobs in the NFL in recent years). He lost 10 straight to end the 2011 campaign and he was launched.

Then, last year, Lovie Smith was shown the door with a four-game losing streak to finish the 2015 campaign.

So we know this timing of losses irks Team Glazer and, apparently, it also really bothers Licht. Twittering from the owners meetings in Boca Raton yesterday, the Custodian of Canton, eye-RAH! Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune, offered Licht’s take on how the Bucs finished last season.

That 0-4 finish still sticks in Jason Licht’s craw: “We want to be playing our best when we’re knocking on the door,” says the Bucs GM — Ira Kaufman (@IKaufmanTBO) March 21, 2016

It was a sad finish, but injuries, specifically to wide receivers, hurt when the Bucs had to rely on a pair of undrafted free agents, one of which, Donteea Dye, belonged in the CFL. Bad receivers and a rookie quarterback are not a good mix for winning.

And please, spare Joe the Kwon Alexander take. That’s one reason Lovie is gone. The Bucs knew in training camp Alexander failed a whizz quiz, and even with three months to prepare for his absence, Lovie still couldn’t find an answer for his defense in December.

Getting torched by Case Keenum? That makes Joe want to toss his corn flakes on his keyboard just thinking of that sorry evening in St. Louis.
