NFC South

Am I being a homer here or just realistic. Obviously it looks like Atlanta is about to go into rebuild mode and Carolina possibly as well, unless they believe Baker or Jimmy are the answers. Tampa Bay still has Tommy Boy but with an aged roster and a questionable offensive line. Is it unrealistic to think we are the best team in this division by bringing back Winston and not unloading any picks to do so and getting this far under the cap?

No......#2 in my book, but in no way #1. TB w/ TB is still numero uno.

I'm buying it. We've got the best defense in the division. We have the best WR in the division returning to play. We own Brady.

I'd say we are 1a and 1b with Tampa. We've owned Tommy boy the past 2 years and pretty much his career. He was gifted that playoff win 2 years ago. I think we are the better team on paper. They still have holes and no starting RB at this point.

You'd buy the paper sack before you knew what was in it. That's what fanboys do.

And no guards since marpet retired and cappa left

Tampa has 19 UFA's. Notable names in Gronk, Suh, Fournette, JPP etc.

They'll definitely look like a different team in 2022. Possibly a step backwards.

Even if, having a QB like Brady will mask some of the loss. I've heard Gronk is coming back. I expect it won't be as bad in Tampa as we'd like. We're #2 is my take.

Who knows? It's the NFC South.

As each week passes I'm liking our chances more and more. I'll have to admit gonna miss ole Matty Ice things won't be the same in the South. One could say Matty never quit even behind 36 points with 5 minutes on the clock he would still run the 2 minute drill.
