How do you see the Division Playing out and whose offseason upgrade has impacted their respective team the most ?

I hate to say it, but I think we are going to have a really tough time in the division. Like you said Tampa has seriously upgraded, they are building their defense to stop Brees and Ryan. They acquired some good talent on offense last year which I think will only get better.
Atlanta was a great team last year, as much as I hate to admit that, and they have gotten better in the offseason. Stephen Jackson will really help them.

Carolina I think is a mess, but they do seem to have our number.
As much as it pains me I think Tampa takes the division followed by Atlanta and then us. I just don't think we will improve enough on defense to make a major push this year. In fact I am really worried about the state of our franchise looking forward. I fear that our time has past and our window is rapidly closing if it hasn't already.

Win 12 games and let the rest of the division worry about itself would be my plan

If the "d" steps up to 20 th we will be awesome

Atlanta must rush and defend the pass better.I didnt like that S.Jackson signed with them. Guy runs really hard.
Carolina has a lot of holes on defense Cam is not the leader that a team needs. They need help on both sides of the ball.
Tampa really fixed their secondary on paper. If Freeman comes on they could be tough. They are closer than most people think.
We get our D sorted out and play well enough to be middle of the road we make the playoffs and win division.

It's going to be us and Atlanta down the stretch, however the division games will be brutal as always.
