The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will enter the team's looming Week 6 matchup against the middling Philadelphia Eagles sporting a nearly perfect 4-1 record. With the only blemish on Tampa Bay's record coming a few weeks back at the hands of the talented Los Angeles Rams, the Buccaneers bounced back in a massive blowout victory against the in-state rival Miami Dolphins in Week 5.
With quarterback Tom Brady and company absolutely dismantling the aforementioned Dolphins by the score of 45-17, Tampa Bay continues to prove why the team finish last season as Super Bowl Champions. However, Tampa Bay also continues to prove why the team might soon become back-to-back Super Bowl Champions as the Buccaneers are no doubt the most well-rounded and deep roster in the league today.
There is simply no slowing down the Buccaneers right now while there is no reason that Tampa Bay won't continue to steamroll the competition — much like it did to the lowly Dolphins in Week 4.
Buccaneers are the most well-rounded team in the NFL
While there is no doubt that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one of the more prolific offenses in recent memory, the team couldn't possibly be deeper or more well-rounded as both its defense and special teams unit continue to be rock solid as well. Granted the Buccaneers were playing the struggling and ailing Miami Dolphins in Week 4, Tampa Bay shutout their opponent as a result of two of the four quarters played. Not only that, though, but the Buccaneers manage to play stout defense on a weekly basis despite injuries to some notable players at linebacker and in the secondary. Thanks to the team's depth throughput its roster, Tampa Bay still doesn't miss a beat regardless of who is out on the field for head coach Bruce Arians.
Tom Brady hasn't lost a step
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is 44 years old, but the future Pro Football Hall of Famer continues to play like he's 24 years old. In Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins, Brady threw for more than 400 yards to accompany his five touchdown passes. Finishing the outing by completing 30 of his 41 passing attempts while failing to throw an interception, Brady registered a stat line of at least 400 yards through the air and five passing touchdowns for the first time in his illustrious career. There is absolutely no sign of regression here as Brady isn't being coddled by head coach Bruce Arians and company — he's just simply still got tons left in the tank. There is no reason that Brady cannot lead the Buccaneers back to the Super Bowl in 2021-22.
Antonio Brown might be team's best pass catcher
It wasn't long ago that longtime Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown was considered one of the best — if not the best — pass catchers in the entire NFL. After a brief stint with the Oakland Raiders and an even shorter stint with the New England Patriots, it then appeared as though Brown's NFL playing days could be over. However, after a bit of guidance from quarterback Tom Brady and seemingly some self reflection, Brown is now a Super Bowl Champion and a key cog for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even on a team with wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, tight ends O.J. Howard, Cameron Brate and Rob Gronkowski and about five talented pass catching running backs, Brown may very well be the best pass catcher down in Florida.
Tampa Bay is clear favorite to win NFC and another Super Bowl
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers certainly didn't surprise folks by winning a Super Bowl last season but it definitely wasn't a given either. However, with the Kansas City Chiefs struggling mightily through the first five weeks of the 2021-22 regular season and the Buccaneers trampling the majority of the opposition, it surely seems as though there is a very, very high possibly that Tampa Bay can repeat as Super Bowl Champions. While the Buffalo Bills will likely be the Buccaneers' biggest threat across the table in the AFC, there are teams like the Los Angeles Rams, Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers fighting within the NFC. With the Rams already taking down the Buccaneers and Tampa Bay edging Dallas back in Week 1, things should get interesting down the final stretch of the 2021-22 campaign. Nonetheless, legendary quarterback Tom Brady is a different animal come playoff time, which should bode well for the Buccaneers.
