Your 2022 Bucs Opponents Revealed
December 26th, 2021
Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians.
With the Bucs clinching first place tonight, we know who the Bucs will play next season. Now we just have to wait until April to find out when.
Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com dug up the research and he has the Bucs’ 2022 opponents. Of course, the Bucs play their subservient division foes both at home and away, as well as the NFC division winners. It is a pretty formidable schedule as the Bucs also play the NFC West and the AFC North.
Tampa Bay also gets an extra home game in the 17-game schedule after having a bonus road game this season — at Indianapolis.
2022 Bucs’ Opponents
HOME
Atlanta Falcons
Baltimore Ravens
Carolina Panthers
Cincinnati Bengals
Green Bay Packers
Kansas City Chiefs
Los Angeles Rams
New Orleans Saints
Seattle Seahawks
AWAY
Arizona Cardinals
Atlanta Falcons
Carolina Panthers
Cleveland Browns
Dallas Cowboys
New Orleans Saints
Pittsburgh Steelers
San Francisco 49ers
So have fun with this while you are draining your final Bromosa before calling it a night. Or if you have this week off, keep drinking more Big Storm Brewing beer!

Wow
That schedule is Murderer’s Row. Holy Crap!!
December 26th, 2021 at 11:03 pm
We’re screwed
December 26th, 2021 at 11:05 pm
Dizzam! Right now that’s one hell of a schedule. Hope TB stays on for one more go at it.
December 26th, 2021 at 11:06 pm
Licht start dialing up the best ever draft. Ready now players.
December 26th, 2021 at 11:07 pm
Teams will gain and lose players. So you really can’t be sure what anyone will be like for sure. Or their injury status just like ours. Will Brady be here? To early to say if is good or bad.
December 26th, 2021 at 11:07 pm
9-8 or 10-7 at best this is a murder schedule .
December 26th, 2021 at 11:10 pm
If Brady leaves after this season, that’s a perfect schedule for an unintentional tanking.
December 26th, 2021 at 11:10 pm
The good news at least is that we face the Stinkin’ Panthers twice! They really stink!
December 26th, 2021 at 11:18 pm
Damn!
December 26th, 2021 at 11:23 pm
AFC Central? What year are you in Joe? Lol
December 26th, 2021 at 11:24 pm
LOL
December 26th, 2021 at 11:26 pm
If Brady stays another year or Trask does well as a first year starter, those games are going to be fun as all hell to watch. If not, we’ll probably be picking in the top ten in 2023.
December 26th, 2021 at 11:29 pm
Matching up Brady with all the games top QBs. Swan Song anyone? Or motivation for Brady to destroy them all one last time?
December 26th, 2021 at 11:40 pm
Good lord Joe I’m going to need to down my entire stock of big storm beer after seeing that schedule. We get an easy schedule one year and then…..
December 26th, 2021 at 11:44 pm
This schedule is going to look so different come September cause I’m very sure 4-5 of the QB’s on these teams will not be on the teams anymore. So I am not concerned in the slightest. I see 12-13 wins next season as well.
December 26th, 2021 at 11:46 pm
@NeverGIVEup
You do realize Steelers, 49ers, Seahawks, and Packers at the very least will all have different QB’s next year right?
Mahomes, Murray, Stafford, and Burrow will probably be the best QB’s the Bucs face next season.
December 26th, 2021 at 11:50 pm
Brady retires, bucs sign Rodgers?
December 27th, 2021 at 12:00 am
Great schedule for Kyle Trask to go 3-14 and land a top 5 pick.
OR… in the spotlight with Brady almost every week for one last year en route to 11-6 or so.
December 27th, 2021 at 12:03 am
I see 12 or 13 wins. I’d love to know which games are the hard ones.
December 27th, 2021 at 12:03 am
Hope not.
December 27th, 2021 at 12:05 am
Love that schedule. What a bunch of pansies half you are. Already predicting a record not even knowing who the players on the teams will be.
December 27th, 2021 at 12:31 am
That is a tough schedule, wow.

=========
How do you want, Gabbert? Maybe finally we can get Bridgewater like you lobbied for in 2020….
If Brady retired, then getting Rodgers would be insane. I don’t care how much of a dramaqueen he is.
However it’s much more likely the team goes into the long darkness once again. That’s why everyone should hope and pray Brady plays until he’s 50, because once he’s gone, the deal with devil will come do…
December 27th, 2021 at 1:00 am
Joe never lobbied for Bridgewater (at least “this Joe” didn’t.)
Go look at Aaron Rodgers’ record and stats in warm weather games and then get back to Joe.
December 27th, 2021 at 1:10 am
holy jezus…this is the illest schedule i’ve ever seen…
if brady bolts and takes gronky with him to tulum i will understand
December 27th, 2021 at 1:36 am
Munch
A big efffff no.
First, Brady is playing another year
Second, No way, no how do I want Aaron Rodgers. Great athletic quarterback but he is not a leader, he throws players under the bus, nothing is ever his fault, he’s arrogant as hell… He’s basically a POS. No thank you.
And those are things I’m making up, those are things that have been said by former teammates and coaches throughout the years.
December 27th, 2021 at 1:47 am
Hardest games on the schedule Chiefs, Rams, Bengals… Are all at home. 2-1
The tough away games- Cleveland, Dallas, and to a lesser extent San Fran 2-1
Packers probably will not have Rodgers. 1-0
Seattle- 1-0
Pitt- 1-0
Baltimore & Arizona 1-1
Carolina 2-0
ATL 2-0
NO 1-1
That’s 13-4
Just for good measure, throw in another loss in those top 6 games I mentioned and they are still 12-5 winning the division fighting for home-field.
It is a tough schedule but Seattle and Pitt aren’t that good, Packers change QBs, Baltimore & SF are all about stopping the run and Arizona’s got some old people on defense.
It’s all about the Buccaneers staying healthy
December 27th, 2021 at 2:06 am
Minimum 10, hopefully 12. Let’s get B2B SB’s first.

Well, fair enough, there are two Joes.
Rodgers record in RayJay isn’t very good, but I’d take my chances.
But I was responding to **IF** Brady retired, obviously Brady being back is what most sane people want. But if he’s not back, Rodgers would be a great fit. Of course because he wants full market value the Bucs would have to jump through a lot of hoops to land him, but if I’m the Bucs, and if Brady leaves us, that’s your route to staying relevant.
Of course if Brady did leave us and I’m running the team, the call is easy, I just resign Winston. That lets you keep the team mostly intact, and this time you tell Winston that it’s no longer ‘no-risk it’ time. As he showed with the Saints, if you tell Winston to just be a game manager, he can be a good one.
December 27th, 2021 at 4:38 am
Reading that I’d wager Brady retires and most dudes seeking a pay day cash in. That’s a 11-6 schedule for a really good team. Be a miracle to make a high seed in the playoffs fighting those headwinds.
December 27th, 2021 at 6:00 am
Really tough schedule. Glad it wasn’t this season. Good teams usually don’t get bad in a year so I suspect most of those teams will still be good next year.
December 27th, 2021 at 6:13 am
Do you all understand we play in the south. All we have to do is win our division.
Everyone of those teams will have QB issues.
Atlanta – Ryan gone
Carolina – ?
Saints – Hill / Injured Wintson
December 27th, 2021 at 7:19 am
Looks like Lefty to the Jags, Bowles to the Raiders and BA retires with this schedule.
December 27th, 2021 at 7:28 am
If Brady retires, trade for Russell Wilson for some drama for the Seattle game.
December 27th, 2021 at 7:31 am
In Brady I trust
December 27th, 2021 at 8:03 am
Wow, that’s as bad as it gets. You think team was beat up this season. Doubtful Brady plays out his contract, especially after he sees this schedule.
December 27th, 2021 at 8:23 am
I called for Rodgers the day they drafted his replacement.
I’ll take russ instead.
December 27th, 2021 at 8:39 am
Be realistic, go for Tyler Huntley, back up in Baltimore. He’s really good and won’t break the bank.
December 27th, 2021 at 8:58 am
I don’t worry about those AFC matchups, 7-1(8-1 counting Super Bowl) last season and this season vs AFC opponents. Brady owns the AFC. Hopefully he stays.
December 27th, 2021 at 9:02 am
So, there are a few possible cupcakes on that schedule, but seriously, how often have the Bucs caught breaks with the schedulers? Very seldom. No Rodgers please. I’m more curious about BA retiring. Then what?
December 27th, 2021 at 9:56 am
To be “THE MAN” you gotta beat the MAN”
Who cares who we go up against? Bring it. All this steel sharpens steel talk, and the first few post fans are shaking in their Bro…. IPA soaked socks and skivies….chicken shats….
