Does anyone else think we could win the South?

If things break the right way, sure. Going to need to take advantage of the easy schedule early and start 4-1 or 5-0 to make it happen though. 

Feel like Tampa is teetering towards regression mode, Brady starts to decline behind a potentially spotty OL, and the Saints may be a 9-8 team at their best. Atlanta isn't competing for anything. 

If Rhule doesn't poo the bed and CMC stays healthy, we may be in the playoffs. Unfortunately until proven otherwise, Brady is Brady and NO is consistently better so we're left hoping things break our way.

Yes, I think it could happen.  But it will require two challenging things:

1. The Bucs will have to have a bit of a meltdown.  Maybe age finally shows with Brady.  Maybe O-line injuries catch up with them.

2.All of our "ifs" have to work.  If Baker is the QB we hope.  If CMC is healthy most of the year.  If we can stop the run and pressure the QB.

That's a lot to ask.  I think it's more realistic to expect a few of those to happen and hope it's enough to get to 9 wins and a wildcard.

Of course I believe....injuries..meaning lack of...are the key.  Baker is out to prove.  He has weapons and an improves oline.  D-linebackers seem to be better than expected..Wilks will have a nasty secondary.   Panthers could be the surprise team.

That's the key - a healthy team. Just about everything has to go right for the Panthers to take the division. Stay healthy, the team adapts to all of the new coaches and schemes, they gel quickly and take advantage of the schedule early. 

I think it's highly unlikely, but it's not completely out of the realm.

I think it's possible. Pretty much what coffee said.
