I’m predicting the Bucs finish 10-7 and win the NFC South. The schedule is tough with games against the Bengals, Ravens, Lions, Rams, Cowboys, and Bears, but Baker has proven he can keep this team competitive.
Losing ME13 and LT is huge, but the division is still VERY winnable. If the defense improves and TAMPA BAIN and Co. step up, our BUCCANEERS absolutely have playoff potential!!!
LFG!
FANS UNITE!
Trolls stay away..

anyone who votes over 8, have you not lived through the Bowels debacle enough the past 4 years to know better?
May 15th, 2026 at 7:57 am
I went with 9 but I lean closer to 10 than 8.
For tht fudge factor. We will win a weak division. I’ll worry about who the wildcard might be around Christmas.

There’s a fine line between being optimistic and being flat out retarded and the people voting 9 or more are flirting with the latter.

I believe our starting 5 on the offensive line feels like they let us down last season. They did. I also believe they’re conniving, right about now, about ways to rectify that shortchanging. Beards are unkempt, tempers may be flaring, and a sense of urgency is prodding those boys. I don’t care how tough you are. Wirfs, Goedecke, Barton, Mauch, and Bredeson in unison are a very nasty bunch. With an improved defense and some fire on our special teams, it’s gonna come down to how healthy can we stay and how much better our depth is. Some of these guys have been around long enough to know how good they can be. And that’s good enough to play with anybody on this schedule. In fact, I don’t believe the schedule could have shook out any more in our advantage. 13 wins. For starters.

There’s a fine line between realism and being blindly negative too. Nobody’s saying the Bucs are guaranteed to win 12 games, but acting like 9+ wins is “crazy” for a team that’s won the division multiple straight years is just emotional hating at this point.
Please pick another team in the NFC to troll.
Buccaneers UNITED!!

8 because of talent, could be less because of the head coach. He’s proved he isn’t a good NFL coach.

I no longer believe the hype until it’s proven, at least being competitive. That losing streak really hurt.

13 wins for Todd? 13 wins for a team that was the worst in the back half last year? 13 wins after losing Mike, LD, and Dean? 13 wins for a team under Todd that always losses 4 in a row? 13 wins for a division that has improved? 13 wins for Zyon and Benmo as our starting corners?
8 and 9 is realistic.
Not trying to be pessimistic, but come on. Good teams dont sink after 5 and 1.
Lots of ?s on this team for 13 wins.

Remember last summer when the Pom Pom squad was calling for 12 wins minimum???
They will never learn. Being blindly positive doesn’t make you a better fan.
Especially when you shout down any opposing opinion.
A realistic view of the capabilities of the coach and team will tell the truth of the situation.
7-10 and no playoffs. Todd gets another extension.

Blind negativity doesn’t make you a smarter fan either. Every offseason people predict high and low —that’s what fans do. Nobody’s “shouting down” opinions, we just don’t all agree with doom-and-gloom takes in May.
We still have talent on both sides of the ball, and upgraded areas they needed to address. Could they disappoint? Sure. But acting like 7-10 is some guaranteed football prophecy is just as biased as predicting 9-12 wins.
At the end of the day, realistic fans can still be optimistic fans. That’s part of enjoying football.

I truly do feel bad for Canales, Coen, and now Robinson that they have to deal with this bungling fool whose defense would get toasted by most college teams. Hand the reins over to Robinson and let him bring in his own defensive coach so we can wash the IBS taste out of our mouth

12wins!!!!!
GO BUCS!!!!!
May 15th, 2026 at 10:55 am
Blindly negative or just basing an opinion of statistics? 3 winning seasons out of isn’t to shabby!!!
2015 Jets 10–6 Missed playoffs
2016 Jets 5–11 Missed playoffs
2017 Jets 5–11 Missed playoffs
2018 Jets 4–12 Missed playoffs
2022 Bucs 8–9 Lost Wild Card (Tom Brady’s only losing season)
2023 Bucs 9–8 Won Wild Card, lost Divisional
2024 Bucs 10–7 Lost Wild Card
2025 Bucs 8–9 Missed playoffs
Let’s not forget how terrible the NFCS has been over the last 3 years too and if that’s his saving grace this year so be it

The Defense will be improved. The Offense is what it is. And, that is not good. They’ll do real good to get to 4-5 at the Bye. Best case scenario is 2-7 (or 3-6), so that we can collect as MANY ‘picks’ as humanly possible before the trade deadline, and then TANK for the 2027-Draft. And, that includes moving Baker to a team well situated for a playoffs run, but desperate for a veteran QB due to an injury to their starter (a la Stafford and the Rams – not wanting to turn to the rookie). If we can get a 2027 4th there (or if two teams were bidding), for just a rental on an expiring contract, while improving our chances at tanking for a Top-5 Pick… It’s a total “Win-Win” 💯 All. Day. Long. None of this BS trying to SAVE Lickt & Bowles’ Jobs. Recognize the REALITY ASAP and just finally rip the band-aid OFF. It is loooong overdue, and should be very easy to see when the time comes.

@Borimex 813 Says: “We still have talent on both sides of the ball.”
“TALENT!?” :/ What Talent!? How many “Pro-Bowlers” has THIS Roster produced over the past several seasons!? Forget “ALL-PROS.” How many “Pro-Bowlers” has JL even drafted over the past 5-DRAFTS… Do YOU even understand just HOW HARD that is to accomplish nowadays, in the modern game with how they determine WHO plays in the “Pro-Bowl!?” You’d almost have to TRY TO. So, I don’t know what “TALENT” you are referring to!? I mean, it’s ABSURD. Absolutely, DELUSIONAL. It’s Fantasy.
