I don't see it especially if Brady has to get in a shoot out every week.
And why would they be in a shootout every week? The defense in Tampa is a good one.

They are getting way too much hype and in a very tough division and conference.
I will take Saints winning the divisionI will definitely take that bet.
So with us ranked above the Eagles, many on here will be upset.
wonder how this will change after the draft. A little difference or a lot of difference. Not that is matters. But as the OP said, some off season fun.

42 year old Brady didn’t. He had the best defense in the league last year. I think that’s our disagreement on Brady. I don’t think he is what he once was. You seem to think far more highly of him than I do.Yah, because Brady has never been in shootouts before.

Wasn’t very good last year. Some games Jameis had to score 50 points to win lol.And why would they be in a shootout every week? The defense in Tampa is a good one.
New offense, age and no Bellicheat. I do think Arians will run the offense around his strengths like using the running back as a passing threat as well as the tight ends.So what is your analysis on why Brady had a down year? Age?
And lets remember that the Pats were 12-4 last year and lost to the same team that beat the Ravens at home in the playoffs.

The Bucs won 7 games with a bum QB who threw 30 INTs. Replacing that bum with Tom Brady won’t result in 3 more wins?
I like Tom’s chances at 10+ wins.
That statement is not correct. The Tampa D was good. And one of the big reasons that Winston had to score so much was because he kept throwing picks. HE almost threw at a clip of 2 per game. And the idiot fumbled the ball also.
I will ask again...………….What is your analysis on why Brady and the offense had a down year?
When someone throws 30 interceptions....that's more of a reflection on the coach than the quarterback. Granted, I didn't watch the Bucc's play.....but if you see your quarterback is struggling with picks then you should probably change your gameplan. Now some would say they wanted to lose with him. Well winning 7 games is a fail there too so I'd also fault the coach for that.The Bucs won 7 games with a bum QB who threw 30 INTs. Replacing that bum with Tom Brady won’t result in 3 more wins?

But if you throw INTs early and put your team in a hole, you have no choice but to keep throwing because you’re now in catch-up mode.When someone throws 30 interceptions....that's more of a reflection on the coach than the quarterback.

You also gave to remember Tampa doesn't have a great OL or coach Belichek to help scheme. I actually think Tampa won't make the playoffs. Saints most likely wins the division so I'm looking at wild card for Tampa.I love the Saints. Great team. IF I had to bet now, I would agree based on the fact that we haven't seen what Tampa will actually look like with Brady.

I’m guessing Arians realized he had no hope of taking the Bucs to the playoffs with a balanced offense because they simply didn’t have the pieces to do that. So Winston was given the green light and he failed miserably. I’m actually impressed that they still won nearly half their games.
