Does anyone else think we could win the South?

Don't let this board intimitdate you.  Anything is allowed.  Well, most anything.

I'm gonna need a ruling here.

Possible. If the defense can get off the field on 3rd downs and the Oline and CMC can stay healthy and on the field.

It is definitely possible. The last two years injuries specifically to CMC have derailed the offense and we didn't have the depth or the qb to compensate. We may have that now as well as a few additional pieces and Baker the playmaker. Our defense will be good although not dominant and with a good offense that can score late we might be able to win more of those one score games we lost. But Tampa has to take a big step back. They embarrassed us last year and it wasn't close.

The division is there for the taking and we have the pieces to do it, I just don't think we have the coach to achieve it though will be delighted to be proven wrong

I mean anything is possible in sports.  I didn’t think the 03 or 15 teams were special going in.   We also won the division once with 7 wins. 

so you can’t rule anything out in sports.  It’s why we bother watching them. 

but I wouldn’t bet a single dollar on it

Absolutely given the changes in our division. But our head coach will have to pull a 180 and become much more efficient in gameday situations and at making adjustments in general.

[TLGPanthersFan]

Anything is possible. 
Bucs have Brady so I think they’ll be fine and they still have that defense. 
Saints new coach is terrible (No idea how he got another head coaching job after the sucked at his last try) and is pretty much trying to copy Payton so they could either be good, mediocre or bad. 
Falcons are a gonna be bad, but watch me be wrong and they will 8-9 games this year. 
 

Panthers could win anywhere from 4 to 12 games so winning the division could happen. 

[PhillyB]

we have a franchise quarterback so who knows?

[Khyber53]

CMC is back, new QB, help on the O-line and the rest of the NFCSouth has more questions in it than we've seen in a decade. We certainly have the possibility of it.

It is going to come down to coaching. I want us to win and win big this year, but Rhule and Co. really need to prove themselves. If they can't and the situation is this favorable for them to, then it was never and will never happen for them.

The fruit is ripe and hanging low on the tree. Don't screw this up.

[Malt Liquor]

Yes I think we can win the NFCS

[Waldo]

Sure. Could happen if we had a time machine and went back to fire Rhule this year and hired a great staff.

Even with any given Sunday applied I have a hard time beliveing this. It's like CMC staying healthy or the run D being able to stop the worst run teams in the league, it doesn't look good unfortunately.

I think we can win it - but not without some Help..

and by Help - I mean an injury to someone key on the Bucs..

The other division opponents would need to perform worse than expected. 
At worst Tampa is a seven win team, New Orleans is a six win team and Atlanta is a four win team.
Carolina at best is a 9 to 10 win team. So is it possible…? Yes, but the Panthers will have to hope that things fall their way with the offense playing with a lead a majority of the game(especially at the end) and the defense performing similar to what they did last year.

I mean anything can happen.  Brady could get blasted the first game and be out for the season.  The NFL is so unpredictable year after year, and there is always regression to the mean.  There are always surprise teams that nobody expected to do well, that make a run in the playoffs.  We've got a lot of talent on the roster, and they seem hungry and to have the right attitude.  All of it is gonna hang on Rhule, and if he can put his big boy pants on.  I'm excited though.
