Staffers with Good Vibes

  • Maurile Tremblay: Mayfield's 41-TD form plus an Evans-Godwin-Egbuka trio under OC Josh Grizzard keep a top-five attack humming.
  • Jason Wood: The Buccaneers won 10 games last year and are currently pegged at 9.5 wins, implying another playoff-caliber season. The key cogs all return, outside of play-caller Liam Coen. 
  • Sigmund Bloom: An already top-notch passing offense is getting healthier and has added a first-round pick who is ready to play right away.
  • Mauricio Gutierrez: One of the best-built offenses in the entire league. I'm not at all worried about the departure of OC Liam Coen.
  • Ben Cummins: Baker Mayfield has matured tremendously and is surrounded by elite talent at wide receiver and running back.
  • Kyle Bellefeuil: This Baker Mayfield-led Tampa Bay offense should be fun to watch again this season, even without Liam Coen in town.
  • Jeff Blaylock: A new OC shouldn't slow this offense down, and an average defense will win the division again.
  • Andy Hicks: Division is easier than most and this team is more than competitive within the conference. 
  • Phil Alexander: One of the league's most efficient passing offenses added a third potential blue-chip receiver in Emeka Egbuka.
  • Jeff Haseley: The Buccaneers are front-runners for the NFC South in large part due to Baker Mayfield's progression as a passer. 
  • Jeff Bell: Baker Mayfield has been a revelation as a franchise quarterback, and this offense is loaded with talented depth. 
  • Meng Song: There's no clear threat in the NFC South, and while they're on their third offensive coordinator in as many years, he's an internal hire with continuity.
  • David Zacharias: With top-shelf roster depth on offense and the 9th-easiest strength of schedule, the Bucs should contend in the NFC.
  • Craig Lakins: The revitalization of Baker Mayfield has been one of the better stories of the last few years. This offense should continue humming along. 
  • Julia Papworth: An incredible offense with a reborn Baker Mayfield at the helm. How can you not root for this team?
  • Colton Dodgson: Tampa Bay's offense makes it the class of the NFC South. Josh Grizzard's promotion preserves continuity after Liam Coens's departure. 

Staffers with Neutral Vibes

  • Tipp Major: Once again, Tampa Bay is embracing change with a new offensive play-caller.  Will this offense adapt to yet another new voice for the third consecutive season? Key components are in place, including an improved O-line.
  • Tripp Brebner: After consecutive playoff appearances, what's Tampa Bay's plan to truly contend?
  • Mike Kashuba: Josh Grizzard, the new OC, was the passing game coordinator last season and has limited experience handling a full offense. 

Staffers with Bad Vibes

  • No one.
