I remember about 10 years ago when Philly signed nearly every big free agent on the market.  Dont think they made the playoffs.

Fabled "dream team"

Yeah, kinda like the Browns last year. However it turns out,  I'm just ready for football, particularly Carolina Panthers Football...

Tampa will probably make the playoffs. Big deal. They are not winning the SB and then these free agent signings will quickly lose their luster. I would rather build the right way for sustained success.

Dolphins put together a "dream team" a while back as well.

Was about as successful as the Eagles version.

I agree with most of this, but their o-line. They will have a top 15 o line this year.

Based on what? They're projecting to return 4 of their 5 starters on an OL that just gave up 47 sacks last year (22nd in the league).

Don’t blame the Bucs OL last year for Winston’s throwing 30 INTs while having two top wrs. 

At least 12 of those 30 INT's came with pressure in his face, not to mention the 4-5 INT's that were batted up into the air by his teammates. Winston did have quite a few doozies he threw to opposing defenses last year, but to say it was all him is just ignorant.

I can tell you that the OL definitely didn’t throw any of those 30 ints.

And I can tell you that the OL definitely wasn’t giving Winston much time to throw, the same thing that will happen to Brady.

Their offseason additions were strong on the offensive line, and the bucs had 2 weak links on their o line that they replaced. They will be a solid o line this year.

Yes, they drafted Tristan Wirfs 13th overall to replace Demar Dotson at RT but who else did they replace? When projecting the Buccaneers' Week 1 starting lineup, both PFF and CBS Sports have virtually a carbon copy of their 2019 line with the lone exception of Wirfs, in lieu of Dotson signing in Denver.

2019 Buccaneers offensive line: Smith-Marpet-Jensen-Cappa-Dotson

2020 Buccaneers offensive line: Smith-Marpet-Jensen-Cappa-Wirfs

I do realize they also signed Joe Haeg, formerly of the Colts, but he's slated to be behind Wirfs unless he or Cappa goes down (since Haeg has also played RG).

I'm just not seeing how they got significantly better.
