Bucs Have “Winning The Super Bowl” Ceiling
May 31st, 2024
“You down, Mike?”
Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht might have to start a new file.
It’s been well publicized that Licht keeps close track of any slight — or perceived slight — of his beloved team. Licht’s even said that it’s a become sort of a family affair and that being an angry underdog has become part of Tampa Bay’s DNA.
So Joe’s not sure what Licht will do with this nugget from the voice of NFL Network, Rich Eisen.
Eisen said yesterday that his ceiling for the 2024 Bucs is a Super Bowl victory.
“I think the best case scenario for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this year is winning the Super Bowl,” Eisen lectured on The Rich Eisen Show on SiriusXM. “I think this team that had a possession to make it a really tight game for the Detroit Lions in the division round last year — you could sit here and say that they were on fumes, that they were basically running at maximum power — but they have a team that is being brought back, the chemistry is there.”
Eisen went on to explain the Bucs are good enough to have two home playoff games and “shock the world.”
Yeah, this was a “best case scenario” segment, but Eisen didn’t throw any nonsense out there about the Bucs, Joe believes.
However, there was hearty helping of nonsense on the table — as Eisen said the Falcons’ ceiling also is a Super Bowl victory.
At least there was a shred of decorum on the airwaves, as Eisen pegged the slimy Saints’ best-possible season would be winning a division crown and that’s it.

It’s possible.
The defense will be down right nasty.
If the offense clicks even a little with Coen, they will beat either KC or SF.
I think this defense is built to contain Lamar Jackson.
We will beat some playoff teams this year.
12-5

LOL… Eisen just canceled himself out with the Falcons ceiling.
So close Rich!
I hope Jason put him on the naughty list anyway!
Go Bucs!

The ceiling for all NFL teams is winning the SB.

Isn’t winning super bowl best case scenario for all NFL teams?

Now , how many opposing team’s bulletin boards do you think that’s going to end up on, every week? ( and we have to play all the top teams from last year during the regular season) , Not smart.

If Bucs stay healthy, this team can win the Super Bowl.

Why would other teams care what Rich Eisen says about the Bucs? Why would Rich Eisen care if they did?

Only if Mayfield gets hot as fire. He’s a streaky QB.

Uhhhh isn’t that what the off season is for? To get excited for the upcoming year? If you think your team has no shot at all, (like in years past around here) the articles will reflect that, however if your team has a realistic (no not all teams have a realistic shot at the sb, despite the ohhh so elaborate analysis by some) shot, why not get hyped?

It’s a gift that keeps on giving to your opposition, first in the NFC-South, then throughout the rest of the NFC , then throughout the AFC, all the way to our SuperBowl opponent , if we should get that far, none of them need that kind of help.

2023 passer rankings show Baker was indeed more prolific in the 4th quarter:
TOTAL YDS – 9th
4th QTR YDS – 2nd
TOTAL CMP% – 10th
4th QTR CMP% – 3rd
TOTAL TDS – 7th
4th QTR TDS – 3rd

We’re a team with a ton of potential. If your offensive line improves, then that will lead to a better passing game and better run game. That in turn will help the defense. I would agree that the Super Bowl is our ceiling.

If Todd can actually modify his stone aged offensive philosophy and simplify his defense to enable his athletes to play to their strengths, the Bucs can be in the mix. Jason has given him a roster that is good for at least 11 regular season wins. If he comes up shy of that, he’s probably gonna begin his Emotional Support Business sooner than anyone would like.

It’s possible, but Mayfield has to do even more than last year.
He should be able to with upgrades and competition on the offensive line.

I think Super Bowl talk is about a year too early.
This team is getting better, it’s going to be exciting!

This team was a Superbowl contender 2 years in a row . Then disaster hit the O-line in 3 different spots. An all pro retires out of the blue . Best center loses his career and a pro bowl right guard goes to Cincy. That Bucs fans is a disaster . Licht has been trying to fix it since . Not an easy task to replace three pro bowlers all at once . This team is essentially the same team . If they can get the running game going and give Baker another 1-2 seconds LOOK OUT. They will win 12-13 games .
As always GO BUCS 🏴☠️

Baker is a year more experienced the whole roster looks stronger maybe if they can just stay healthy n.you gotta BELIEVE GO BUCS!!!! Plus Run the Ball
