If general manager Jason Licht won Gold in the Financial Olympics last offseason, keeping Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield, and a swarming core of homegrown defenders together, the Buccaneers at the very least returned to the podium this spring.
I decided to check on Tampa Bay's four divisional titles while enjoying my toast. I love buttered sourdough and my too expensive KitchenAid toaster makes perfect toast. PERFECT toast. How's the competition in the NFC South?
2021 Tampa wins 13, Saints win 9, others losing records
2022 Tampa wins 8, all others win 7
2023 Tampa wins 9, wins tie breaker over 9-win Saints, others losing records
2024 Tampa wins 10, all others losing records
Has any other team in the NFL won consecutive divisional titles with 17 total wins? 8-9 followed by 9-8, or consecutive divisional titles with a two-year .500 record for non 17 game seasons?
The Bucs are a solid team. They get the appropriate amount of attention. This column, for instance, satisfies my Tampa curiosity right up to this coming September.
Now, you’re making me want to attempt toast in an Air Fryer, which I have been contemplating.
More importantly, I think you are dead on in terms of that division perhaps being the most winnable in the league. Especially since the New Orleans Saints ceased being relevant when they descended further into cap hell. But, I do think the Falcons are fascinating and this could be a fun two-team race to keep an eye on this season.
