Mike75 Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Very well might be a Panthers repeat BUT i have this feeling that the Tampa Bay Bucs are gonna make some waves. I think it comes down to Carolina and Tampa for the division in the last game of the season at Tampa..... Gonna go with Tampa to win the NFC SOUTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barman Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Bucs look legit for 9 wins...last season gave up a lot of big plays, so 26th scoring defense while 11th in yards allowed Also 5th in rushing offense with two best RB returning and 11th in rush defense are both strong indicators. I think nine wins is possible and that includes losing at Arizona, at Carolina, home vs Seattle and at Dallas in December if Cowboys are at full strength. Sweeping both Atlanta and New Orleans would be huge tiebreaker assist if they can at least split w Panthers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike75 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 It’s only August, and Winston already looks to be vastly improved from his rookie season. That’s no small feat considering just how good he was as a rookie.Winston completed 16-of-25 passes for 259 yards and two scores against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday. A total of five of those completions went to Mike Evans for 115 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown strike. All said, Winston led the Buccaneers to four scores on six possessions before exiting at halftime.It’s this type of dominant performance that lends credence to the idea that Tampa Bay may be able to compete for a playoff spot this season.More than basic stats, Winston looks to have taken that next step. His tape has been mostly stellar during the preseason, minus some hiccups in Week 2. There’s no indecision in the pocket, he’s found a connection with his starting receivers and appears ready to take over as the team’s franchise quarterback.If that’s the case, the rest of the NFC South should be put on notice.

I agree that Winston is a beast, but we shouldn't be juding Winston to be significantly improved over a good showing against a pathetic Browns team. Still waiting for Winston to have a good showing against elite level defenses. He struggled against all teams that had one last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryRunSome Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Carolina wins DIVISION 11-5 Tampa is not ready yet 8-8 Saints are washed up. Brees is not the same prolific QB from 3-5 years ago. Defense will always be HORRIBLE. When Brees was GREAT in his PRIME, he could make up for the lack of DEFENSE and just OutScore teams 7-9 Falcons are HORRIBLE. The QB is one of the BIGGEST PILES of SHIT I've ever LAID eyes ON 3-13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barman Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Big help for Bucs is now - having seen JW work a full season against NFL defenses, they can better game plan his skill set. TB should be favored to win rushing battle in at least 10-11 games and that alone puts them in good spot to threaten double digit wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easy does it Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Falcons, panthers will definitely take a stepback plus very difficult to win a division 3 straight years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
