The first preseason game for the Buccaneers is officially in the books as they opened exhibition play with a loss to the Miami Dolphins by a score of 26-24. As is the case with any other year, preseason games are used for coaches to analyze the roster and see who will stay or go. And after Saturday night, Bucs coaches certainly have to do some evaluations to see where things went wrong.
Quarterback Blaine Gabbert got the Buccaneers on the board after a dart to receiver Jaelon Darden for a touchdown to go ahead 7-3.
