I don't see anyone in their division that can seriously contend for the division title vs. the Bucs. The rest of the starting QBs in the NFC South are Marcus Mariota, Jameis Winston and Baker Mayfield. The Bucs may very well go 6-0 in NFC South games.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 9:30 am How do the Bucs not struggle out of the gate?
I know Brady defies normal football laws, but a retirement, unretirement, new HC, and still not with the team in late August? Fighting for wild card spot?
Mike Tomlin is an absolute class act and any Steelers fan who tries to run him out of town deserves to get a retread shmuck as his replacement.
Yeah, pretty good points about the division. I don't think NO or CAR's roster is half-bad.twocoach wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 10:06 amI don't see anyone in their division that can seriously contend for the division title vs. the Bucs.

It will be interesting to see how TB handles their games outside of the NFC South. They drew the AFC Central (@ Steelers, vs. Ravens, @ Browns (while Watson is still out) and vs. Bengals), the NFC West (vs. Rams, vs. Seahawks, @ 49ers, @ Cardinals) and then the winners of the NFC East, NFC North and AFC West (@ Cowboys, vs. Packers, vs. Chiefs). So potentially 8 or so tough games out of those 11.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 10:11 amYeah, pretty good points about the division.

Yet I do recall when the Raiders one season went 6-0, or close to it, in the AFC West and missed the playoffs, lol.
I'm imagining a scenario where the DA reopens the criminal case(s), gets the judge to sign the arrest warrant while the team plane is in the air, then the cops wait for Watson to de-board.UnholyLivingDead wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 11:36 am11 games seemed like a weird number. Surely the NFL wouldn't do something like that on purpose. /s
I looked at TB's roster again, and I'm back to being with your original take--they should cruise to the South title and host a playoff game or two. Tough schedule, though.twocoach wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 10:23 amIt will be interesting to see how TB handles their games outside of the NFC South.

Maybe they get upside down in those and drop a good chunk of them and the Saints or Panthers take advantage of comparatively easier schedules for those three unique games, who knows.
And they seem to have drawn a large percentage of their tougher games as home games:CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 10:28 amI looked at TB's roster again, and I'm back to being with your original take--they should cruise to the South title and host a playoff game or two.
