One more trade coming on Thursday, Tampa trade a 1st round and Arians for Belichick

I’d take Arians over Belichick right now and Belicheck is the best coach in the NFL.  Belichick is gonna get a reality check this year, now that the veterans are all gone and he has to convince the world that Brady wasn’t the GOAT.  
 

Not to mention the NFC is so much softer than the AFC when it comes to smash mouth football and consistency.  The AFC has the same 4 or 5 teams in the playoffs every year and the NFC is a crap shoot every year.

Bucs secondary and OL are garbage.  They have no good RB and slot WR. They are few injuries away from being garbage on both side of the field.

Godwin essentially became their slot WR last year after they lost Humphries.

If you think that Belichick is going into 2020 with Stidham at Qb, you’re dead wrong. NE still has a pretty good roster. I have them behind Buffalo right now in their division but still think they will squeeze into the playoff

I didn’t that Godwin would be this good this soon but I did want him coming out of college. All he did last season was put Donte on his back and run around the field.

We won't have much of a D next year so cool. Should be fun to watch however it goes and if they crap on the Saints and Falcons then it's a free bonus to us for a year or two. 

If we're not going to win the NFCS (which certainly looks doubtful at this point unless we have the best draft in the history of all things) then heck yeah I hope it's the Bucs! Fug the Taints! Fug the Falcunts!

Percy Harvin just announced he is coming out of retirement and wants to play for the Bucs

Godwin is not a small quick dude.  He’s a big guy with a blazing speed.

Belichick won 11 games with Matt Cassel at QB and a RB committee consisting of Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk, Lamont Jordan (all over 30 years old) and a rookie BenJarvus Green-Ellis that was ranked 6th in yards, 4th in TD's, 4th in attempts, and 7th in YPC, and a defense that was 8th in points and 10th in yards in 2008.

Last year that defense was ranked 1st in the following categories: points, yards, 1st downs surrendered, passing TD's surrendered, rushing TD's surrendered, and interceptions. They were also 2nd in turnovers and passing yards surrendered, and were top-10 in fumbles (7th), passing attempts (8th), rushing attempts (5th), and rushing yards surrendered (6th).

And you're telling me it's Belichick that's going to get the reality check? Nah, Brady is going to find out how fun it is playing behind an offensive line that can't block for **** with zero running game and the league's worst pass defense on the other side the ball that hemorrhages points and yards and he's always playing from behind.

The Buccaneers will be lucky to win 10 games. With that defense, 10 games is the floor for the Patriots regardless of who their QB is.

Playing in the slot and being small/quick aren't mutually exclusive concepts. Over the last decade and a half, we've used both Michael Thomas and Marques Colston in the slot to great success.

Makes sense. Percy was a weed head (me too) and I was wondering if he'd come back if they laxed their rules a bit. Good for him.

Fitzgerald (another big guy) has done a ton of damage from the slot over the years.

Brady is old, and it showed last year. He doesn't really scare me that much.

Gronk does.

I know he's had a lot of injury issues, but when he can play, he's dangerous.

And we no longer have Luke "The Huggy Bear" Kuechly to shut him down.
