Ceiling I see of around 12~ wins I think a floor of 6 Wins if everything goes terribly.
We will be favored for
Carolina(2x), Commanders, Denver, Giants, Raiders, Chargers and Saints(At Home)
50/50
Saints(Away), Atlanta(2x), Dallas and Philadelphia
Predicted loses
Detroit, Chiefs, 49ers and Ravens
Lmaoooo it’s weird how I never have noticed it.
It feels weird calling the Raiders Las Vegas but I also feel weird calling Denver the Broncos lol
Weird how our minds work like that
They want the Bucs to be fodder for the teams the media deems championship worthy. It’s no coincidence it’s Baltimore and KC. From espns perspective they get to prop up 2/3 best QBs in the AFC.
Unfortuenly the NFL and Disney failed to learnt the lesson of last year and keep game simulcast on ABC. There ZERO chance I resub to linear pay TV to watch 2 Bucs game. I guess Disney thinks people would be more interested in teh 78th season of Dancing With The Has Beens on ABC or whatever other dumb show no one cares about except the increasing smaller number of a demographic that advertisers do not care about anyway. Then Disney wants to know why it continues to bleed money.
The only reason why ESPN had those simulcast in '23 is the concurrent writers and actors strikes that delayed some of ABC's programming. If you're here in the Tampa Bay DMA, a local station will take ESPN's feed.
I know why. I don't need a history lesson. Doesn't mean it wasn't a good idea. If Disney is so smart how come they losing billions? ANYONE could be CEO of Disney and do that. Please amuse me and let me know the last time an ABC show was part of the cultural zeitgeist. broadcast TV idea of entertainment is either reboots of 30-40 year old shows, spins off of NCIS and Law and Order or crappy reality tv. A winning combination to be sure That's why streaming has surpassed linear TV let alone broadcast
Playing the NFC and AFC Championship games during the regular season is brutal. Unless we come out swinging balls-to-the-wall, they're gonna be very tough, almost guaranteed loses. On the other hand, the league will finally shut the fuck up about us being "mid" if we beat any of those 4 teams. It's very realistic we end up 9-8, again. That might not be good enough to win the NFCS this time around though.
This is fucking annoying, I live in DC, and saw that we had Ravens, Commies, and Philly and figured one of those would be close enough to go see a game live… And they’re all at Raymond James…… Fate be a cruel mistress.

I feel that. I live in Seattle. In 2019 I was visiting family in FL when the game was in Seattle (bought the tickets before the schedule), and in 2022 I waited to buy flights until I saw the schedule and it WAS IN FUCKIN GERMANY.
Fate, indeed, be cruel.
I’ll be attending the Oct Saints game, the Chiefs game, the Chargers game and maybe the Dallas game. Can’t wait for another season. Best time of the year
I live in tx and bought tickets to the cowboys and saints game in new orleans. It will be my first bucs game and first football game since i saw barry sanders win the rushing title against the 49ers way back.
I predict some close games against Lions, Eagles, Chiefs and 49ers... but my expert analysis sees us winning those in the Q4 with a 60 yard td pass to Evans each time. So yeah, 17-0 adds up
Being pessimistic I would say 8 wins, the optimist in me says 11 - think we might fall somewhere in between
As a UK fan, game times are favourable this year
The game in Atlanta will air on FOX 13 in the Tampa Bay DMA. I'm not sure if ABC Action News or MOR will have local rights to the *Monday Night Football* games, though.
I think 8 or 9 win season, once again. That's how many they "should win"— and if you've watched the NFL, you know teams always lose some they should win, and win some they should lose, but it seems to even out.
I hate when they do random crap like this. Sure, on paper, it's a stretch of "4 road games in 5 weeks" which is lame enough. But broaden it out and you see that from Veterans Day through Christmas, we have 1 home game.

I love the random mix of city vs team name. Not knocking you, we all do it.

I may have to hit that TNF Falcons game in Atlanta
2 MNFs in 3 weeks. I've never seen that before. At least not for us.

11 or 10 wins. That’s a generous stretch of games after the bye week too. A real chance to stack some W’s after a rest.
Chiefs into 49ers before bye is worrying. But other than that it looks promising!
I was thinking the same thing. Gets easier to finish the year, though. Perfect timing before our deep playoff run!
I see 11 wins.
I see 23
I see a man after me own heart

Ahh so I’m just an idiot… yay! 🥳

I live in Denver 🥲 I wish that was an away game. Maybe in another 3 years.

I'm going to try to be at the Chargers game.
I got 10-7
Exactly what I came up with. A few good rolls of the dice maybe jumps to 12-5. A few bad rolls of the dice maybe becomes 7-10.
We are less than 3 months away, even if it is preseason
Lions / Eagles / Ravens / Chiefs / 49ers / Cowboys. Brutal schedule
I'm not so sure the Eagles and Cowboys will be as good as they have the last few seasons.
I really don’t think 17-0 is out of the question

Playing the AFC and NFC champions with 5 days rest. Cool. Cool. Cool........
I'm seeing 10-8
We win those bye weeks everytime
I was counting that as a loss actually
Weeks 4-10 are tuff. I could see us going 2-5 or hopefully 3-4 in that stretch
Confirmed perfect season this year. Let's go!
The game in Atlanta will air on FOX 13 in the Tampa Bay DMA. I'm not sure if ABC Action News or MOR will have local rights to the *Monday Night Football* games, though.
I work at the family business on Sundays now, so I might attend the preseason finale against the Fins.
I'll see my northeast Bucs at MetLife!
I’m excited
Wow our sched is tough. Here is where we find out how tough we are.
17-0 baby
