The media will bang the drum that Tampa isn't in their final form yet

a guy on NFL radio yesterday said the Bucs would win because they had the better offense last year. The Bucs were 3rd and the Saints were 9th.

However, he failed to mention that they were 7-9 and added a 43 year old qb. They also added Leonard Fournette who was so awesome he couldn’t be traded and cleared waivers, McCoy hasn’t been top-tier since 2013 and Gronk who looked ancient today - in week 1.


The Bucs will win some games this year but this is still largely the inconsistent, undisciplined team that they’ve been for the past 5 seasons.

Arians seems to have sloppy, undisciplined teams. Brady is either going to have to try and inject some New England disciple into the team or he’s going to crack.

My brother made a good point today. He said, the Bucs would have beaten the Jets, Dolphins and maybe even the Bills today playing the exact same game. That’s the difference between the AFC East and the NFC South - no divisional cupcakes.
