How good is Tampa Bay supposed to be?

[goalieump413]

Not only are they in every year's schedule (for Seahawks), but they are always a contender. I'm in the 2013 season right now, and they're still kicking butt.

I assume it's the hometown cheat, since EA's guys are from the Tampa area, but it's ridiculous that the Buc's would play the 'Hawks every year! Does anyone else see the Buc's in their schedule every year?

who is there head coach in 2013?

Tampa's got an excellent offensive playbook by default, and I'm guessing that their coaching staff & GM remain good. I've always found them competitive, even with my talented Packers squads.

I don't know why/how they're winding up on your schedule every year since they're not in your division. Unless you see them in playoff games, which I can easily believe.

Playbooks are clearly key in this game. Teams that have good ones like Indianapolis are always contenders. Colts have a bad GM, major roster turnover, mediocre coaches, and they STILL won the Super Bowl in 2014 in my chargers dynasty.

The Bucs (and the Colts) both have excellent coaches.

IMO coaches contribute to success far more than playbooks.

haha tampa always dominate, does gruden quit after year one for any1 else?

[SantonioH10]

Tampa is pretty much the ideal team to be in this game. Outside of a horrible GM, Monte Kiffin and the Tampa 2 defense always churn out a top ten defensive performance, and if you can give them playmakers on offense, they become a legit contender nearly every year.

And don't even get me started on how much cap room they start out with.

For me it was Monte Kiffin. In 2016, he retired, and Raheem Morris took over.

But year, usually all the teams with good coaches are top notch.

But I think Looman and the boys had something for Tampa...
