“The Bucs Will Win 9 Or 10 Games”
May 21st, 2012
Adam “Cosmic” Schein has seen enough.
The FOXSports.com NFL analyst and mercurial co-host of The Blitz on SiriusXM NFL Radio with Rich Gannon was gushing today about the New Schiano World Order, including the new-order spirit behind the jettisoning of Kellen Winslow. And Schein bellowed loud and proud that he believes “the Bucs will win 9 or 10 games” in 2012.
Remember, Mike Mayock insits the Bucs are a playoff team. But Warren Sapp says the Bucs won’t even “contend.”
Joe suspects predictions for the 2012 Bucs will continue to be all over the map. Nobody knows what to remotely expect from Mike Sullivan or Greg Schiano, let alone Josh Freeman, Doug Martin, Ronde Barber at safety, Gerald McCoy, Brian Price, Aqib Talib and others.
The Bucs have more question marks than a census survey.

The Bucs will have the ability to win 10 games … But still lack some depth at areas and the Defense will be better … But How much better
I believe the Bucs win around 8 or 9 games this year … But it will take some Magic … ANd Health to win 10 or more games
… but far from impossible.

The biggest difference that will be glaringly obvious IMO will be Bucs playing as a TEAM.

over/under 7 games

I don’t know how you can tell that now, even before training camp unless you assume that the negative influence on the locker room caused last year’s dreadful performance.
I would love for that to be the case, there’s an awful lot of changes for a young team to absorb even with an off season. It’s a very tough schedule!
Joe, just listening to Justin on 1010. Is Preston Parker gone too?

Anything possible in today’s NFL. The Bucs have a better chance this year rather than last season, just on attitude change alone.

I don’t know about the 9 or 10 games but I at least predict that the Bucs won’t finish 4th in the division. I think someone takes a tumble in the NFC South.

I feel pretty good about the Offense this year. But the Defense is what I’m worried about when GMC & Price are Huge questions marks. I see 7-8
wins.

Macabee:
Preston Parker? Joe hasn’t heard that.
If Dezmon Briscoe blows off OTAs (again) this week, just scratch him off your Bucs roster.

Cutting him and getting nothing in return would be downright retarded.
Trade him for Osi, then I’ll be in favor of his departure.
Then sign the washed up, old man Dallas Clark as a band aid for a year or two.

I guarantee you that Dallas Clark is a better teamate and has a much better attitude than Winslow ever did. I’d be happy to have him on our team! Remember when we went out and got Dilger late in his career. He gave us a couple of solid years.

Let’s clarify one thing here, re: Winslow: He isn’t being traded for Osi straight up, not when the Giants are looking for a 3rd round pick and Winslow is probably worth a 6th round pick. Perhaps as part of a package deal, but I would be very surprised (in a good way, of course) if Dom were able to flip K2 for Osi. If Dom could flip K2 for Mike Jenkins it would be a win, and Jenkins isn’t on Osi’s talent level.

IMO our bucs will win somewhere from 7-10 games. I just hope we dont go 10-6 like we did a couple years ago and miss out on the playoffs, That sucked (N)
May 21st, 2012 at 2:16 pm
Sapp said that we wouldn’t make if our defense was like last year. If the bucs can fix it (defense) then he believe they have the talent on offense to make it to the playoff. I agree with his statement. Our Offense have to be great like the Pats to make it with a bad tackling team from last year.

I wouldn’t put any weight on what Sapp says about the Bucs. He doesn’t have any inside info on the Bucs anymore. He doesn’t strike me as a Schiano guy.
May 21st, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Sapp said last year we would be in the playoffs and Pittsburgh would not…..take it for what u will lol
May 21st, 2012 at 5:32 pm
Sapp is PO’d because last year he predicted the Bucs would win the division and Freeman would be MVP. I’m sure he’ll be back in the bus if the Bucs start winning but right now he has a bad taste in his mouth from last year (as do all of us).
