You've seen enough football to know that precious few offenses are good enough to be considered elite. So, no, you don't need fireworks. You don't need records, innovations or viral moments. You do, however, need a reason to believe. And that's where the Buccaneers have fallen short.

Hey, Patrick Zalupski! Congrats on an incredible first season as Rays owner. Not only did you get a stadium financing package put together, but you won the AL East and earned a first-round bye. On behalf of all your fellow MLB owners, I wish you continued success in 2027 and beyond. And if it isn’t too much trouble, please lose quickly and convincingly in the playoffs. Best wishes, Rob Manfred Obviously, baseball’s commissioner would not send that sort of missive to the Rays.
