So 93 last time won away but something must have switched with scheduling we havent played them away much at all... 3 times in 20 years but I think part of it was rotation of playing same place as you in that division and happen to be same place as them years we were schedule for home and not away.
1977-2001 we only played them usually every 2-3 years 'cos they were in the old NFC Central (inaugural year of 1976 the bucs started off in the AFC west...seattle played the same 1st season in the NFC west ironically, before going to the AFCW and playing there til 2001) but again it wasn't guaranteed, since the NFC central had 5 teams, only 4 of those would be picked for the Niners schedule based on standing and cos the bucs sucked most of the time theyd be left off
NFL scheduling was really a jumble towards the late 90's with all the expansion teams and realigned franchises (i think at once point the AFC central had SIX teams!) and only after 2002 with the realignment did it normalize to a fairly balanced and logical formula
