Just went on @GetUpESPN and predicted the Bucs will not make the playoffs.

Everyone hates me now. Here’s some of my theory...

(thanks @PaulHembo for the help on the #s)

let’s start: Saints are division favorite and have a HC-OC-QB that’s been together since 2009.

Falcons finished last season 6-2 and beat the Saints and 49ers on the road.

Brady is used to an easy division.

2019 Buccaneers
3rd in QB hits on pass plays
1st in average target depth
7th-highest blitz rate

2013-17 Cardinals
6th in QB hits on pass plays
2nd in average target depth
13th-highest blitz rate

Tom Brady has been among the least-blitz QBs in recent years.

Arians QBs take lots of hits, chuck it downfield, and face the blitz at an above-average rate.

(Brady led NFL with 33 throwaways last season)
