What are you seeing that the rest of the fanbase isn't?

I'll start with 3:

1.) The run game returns: Bucky and Gainwell each have 1k+ total yards from scrimmage and fans celebrate Licht for making an amazing signing in Gainwell.

2.) Winfield returns to form and has an all-pro season after some struggles once he got paid. 

3.) McMillan, Godwin, and Egbuka all have 700+ yards receiving and stay healthy all season. Egbuka leads the Bucs with 1100 yards. McMillan leads in TDs with 9. Godwin leads in receptions with 85.

1 - Baker performs closer to 2023 and 2025 seasons then he does 2024

2 - defense is just as shitty as last year

3 - Bucs go 3-3 in division again

4 - Bucs go 1-3 in NFC North

5 - Bucs go 2-2 in the AFC North

6 - Bucs go 0-3 in other games (LAC, DAL, LAR)

 

Bucs go 6-11 currently.

7-10 season.

Bowles is fired.

Licht gets one more chance at hiring a good HC.

Both the offense and defense perform similar to last season.

Panthers repeat as NFCS champs, Bucs are NFCS chumps.

does Bowles get fired with 7-10 record?

i mean it was pretty monumental collapse to go 8-9 after a 6-2 start. A long losing streak in season, 3rd season in a row, and we expect him to be fired after 7-10

i should have added that the Glazers dont give a shit so anywhere from 5 wins and up likely has Bowles retain his job

I do think we have a real chance to go 4-13 and that is where we will see an exodus of Bowles and Mayfield.  I think Licht should be included in that too but Glazers may give him another shot

lmao, the Fire post followed by three posts saying exactly what the fan base sees (instead of predictions that they do not see!)

 

This place is a MOOD

I think these are all possible. Maybe the toughest part is "stay healthy all season"

Bucs finish 8-9 and Bowles returns.

Mayfield is re-signed to a MEGA contract.

Bucs look for a new OC six years in a row.

Ikr? Everyone just says BUCS WILL SUCK.

That's not a bold prediction it's the common consensus.

I don't wanna predict our record until after the draft but I still think our floor is 7 games. Remember we don't have the first place record anymore.

i think this one is great on the bold scale and it could all happen.  In fact my bold prediction would be the same except 

 

8-9 gets Bowles fired 

Mega contract for Mayfield

hire our current OC as HC

ok we want bold but realistic

1. Baker Mayfield returns to 34+ passing TD club 

2.  Bucky Irving returns to 1,000 yard club

3. Both Egbuka and Godwin break 1,000 yards

4. Cade Otton is only responsible for 1 gifted INT to opponents instead of 2 

5.  Yaya Diaby gets double digit sacks 

6.  Calijah Kancey only misses 3 games to injury matching a career best!

7. Bucs have yet another mid-season losing streak

8.  Bucs defense doesn't break the top half of the league

9.  Zac Robinson gets head coaching job in the off-season

10.  Bucs win division with 9 wins, lose in first round, Bowles is given an extension
