The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a target on their back, however nobody will stop them in the end. It is common for a Superbowl winning team to have a hangover in the following season but don't expect it from the Bucs. They brought back all 22 starters and Tom Brady won't let this team become complacent. Not only does the soon-to-be 44 year old signal caller expect perfection, but they have enough talent on the other side of the ball. The Tampa Bay defense found their identity in the postseason last year and they will build off it by competing in a division that features an older Matt Ryan, the Taysom Hill tandem alongside Jameis Winston, and an unproven Sam Darnold. As far as the rest of the conference, the NFC East isn't ripe yet and the NFC West will cannibalize itself. Some people might say the Packers but their franchise player isn't quite embracing his team.
Make sure to listen to the podcast below, Austin Gayle of PFF.com gives his take on why there is no real threat to the Bucs in the NFC and other noteworthy topics.
