Week 6:
vs Chicago 4-2

It’s
going to be a tough one as Trubisky will be used to the pace of the NFL and
will be well prepared to face the Dolphins, but our offense will outscore and
win a close one at home

Works for me
You are optimistic, I'll give you that. 1st game wont be that easy. Just as Miami was without Ryan Tannehill, the Titans were without Marcus Mariota.
12 n 4 ill say
Between 9 and 11 wins if team does not lose any key contributors for season. 9 the low end , 11 the high end.
I love how everyone thinks Gruden is a great coach. The guy struggled as a coach then won a super bowl with Tony Dungy's team then went back to struggling after players started to leave. He's an average coach at best.
Ok. Let’s say you’re right. Let’s say the 26 new players in 2002 on their 53 player roster didn’t matter.
Let’s say the cornerstones (Brooks, Sapp, and Lynch) who were drafted by Dungy’s predecessor (Sam Wyche – who was also VP of Football Operations and oversaw GM Rich McKay) don’t matter.
Once the Bucs started to gel on offense (from week 9 through the end of the season) they had the number one offense in the NFL… Let’s say that doesn’t matter either.
Let’s say the fact that Dungy was never the GM nor did he have final say in players picked doesn’t matter.
Let’s say you’re right.
Let’s say Gruden won with “Dungy’s team.”
How come Gruden was able to take “Dungy’s team” to 12-4 and win a Super Bowl with “the same team Dungy built,” but Dungy could only take his team 9-7?
