Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Live Stream: Watch Online Streaming Preseason Game

Aug 08, 2014 07:22 PM EDT

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars are playing live on the NFL preseason schedule in Week 1 and the game comes from EverBank Field at 7:30 pm ET as these two Florida clubs matchup and both teams are looking to bounce back after last year as they move into the 2014 season and this comes during the first slate of games on Friday night.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expecting to be better and they should be very good on offense with Josh McCown coming in, as they have a number of players that are elite level talents. The offense was a mess under horrible coach Greg Schiano and the team was a total disaster and now they should be much better with Lovie Smith there. The team drafted Mike Evans to join Vincent Jackson and they also have Doug Martin coming back from an injury and he had a strong season two years ago.

The Bucs were horrible passing the ball, but with Smith and McCown there the team should be ranked better than last in the league. The team gained just 176 yards per game through the air and they were 22nd in rushing yards per game. Those numbers should be better if everyone remains healthy and the defense was solid last season, but not all that great. Smith knows what a great defense looks like and he should be able to whip his team into shape this year.

The Bucs went just 4-12 last season and they won only one game against their division and with the Saints and Panthers coming back strong along with the Falcons, this should be one of the best divisions in football. The Falcons drafted Jake Matthews early after their terrible season and now the Panthers and Saints should have two teams that are much better to deal with just in the division.

The Buccaneers went 2-10 against the conference and they will need to improve that and this preseason they play against the Jags in an all Florida matchup before playing another Florida game against the Dolphins and that will be at home. The team ends with a couple east teams in the Buffalo Bills and Redskins and then they open with a home divisional game against the Panthers. The Bucs will be looking to start off the season fast and there is plenty of optimism in Tampa as the NFL preseason kicks off for the team.

The Buccaneers and Jaguars are coming into the season expecting major improvements and Tampa Bay has a new head coach in Lovie Smith with Super Bowl experience. The team has Mike Glennon from last year, but free agent signing Josh McCown is going to be the starter and he had a great season in Chicago last season and he played that into a new contract and a new team in Florida. The Bucs have plenty of offensive talent and now Smith will try and get the team back to the playoffs after this last little era that wasn't so great.
