Quote:Last year the NFC South was horrible so we all thought this year was going to be a cupcake. Then somehow the Panthers never stopped winning and the Buccaneers became playoff contenders. We also had to play at New England.

 

We got to play Carolina early before they really got rolling and it was at home.  Same with Tampa minus being at home.

 

We played the clots without Luck twice, two rookie QBs (one of them twice), a San Diego team riddled with injuries, a Texans team without a legit starting QB twice, an injury riddled Ravens team and an Atlanta team that had lost 6 in a row prior to playing us.

 

The schedule was more than in our favor this year.  We should have won every one of those games minus maybe Carolina.
