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
this list reads like your could only resist the Philadelphia in you so long. It starts out positive but by 7 it starts reverting back lol

God damn I could just hear the depression through it all
Lavonte David retires right after the draft.
Calijah Kancey finally lives up to his expectation and is an impactful player for the Bucs in the new season. Having new and perhaps better talent around him kicks the puss out of him and turns him into the beast we hoped for when he was drafted. And although I am not high on Kancey at all and wasn't at the time when we drafted him, I just keep having this little premonition that he becomes an impactful player in the 2026-2027 season.

Would be huge but I won't count on it.
Thank you for sticking to the theme of the thread tho

i mean it's really hard to be positive about this team.
Mike Evans lost faith, why the heck would any of us be so positive?
Brought back an unqualified head coach who the team clearly quit on last year
This franchise's next half decade hinges on what we have in Baker. Does he rebound to the top 10 guy he was in 2024 or a version of that? If so, we could be relevant the next 5 years.
BUT...if he's mediocre again, they might be blowing this thing up in 2027 im talking back to the 2009 to 2018 type days
I mean, you got to 7 so not all doom and gloom.
The Bucs haven't given fans much hope. Obviously 2026 is a transitional season.
i mean it's really hard to be positive about this team.
To hell with that.
We have a head coach who can win a Super Bowl.
Dogshit division. ELITE head coach.
I mean, the Glazers not only punted on Coen, but they actually extended Todd.
Worked out well last season.
And, I think we’ll see even more of Todd’s greatness this season.
My expectation is 12-5 with a DEEP playoff run.

I expect nothing less from the transformational Head Coach that parallels with Tony Dungy.
As the leghumper says, IBWT
i should have added that the Glazers dont give a shit so anywhere from 5 wins and up likely has Bowles retain his job
Do you know them personally?
No.
Thought so.
My bold prediction: The LA Rams will win the Super Bowl.
My not so bold prediction: The TB Bucs will win UNDER 8.5 games.
When I was looking at the NFC O/U wins today, I just might believe the Bucs will win the division at 8-9. The Panthers schedule is absolutely brutal, and their O/U is 6.5. Both the Falcons and Saints are at 7.5. No wonder "Vegas is betting on Bowles". Another shitty season for a shit division.
