Wouldn't be really surprised

If your team is in the playoff hunt then yes you are Super Bowl contenders. Sure there are teams that would rate higher but anything can happen in the playoffs no matter how you squeak in. They are playing good football but I still question that D.

i dont think they will win the superbowl, but everyone seems to love the notion of all that matters is getting in and you have a chance. well the bucs have a good chance to get in, so good or bad that makes them contenders. i'd rather have the hot team going in that the best one (see new york, green bay, steelers 1st ben superbowl, etc.)

Yes because they have the experience come playoff time( given they make it). They have been down this road before. The Bucs took a good step this year, but you are getting carried away.

I don't believe that every team in the playoff hunt can actually win the SB.

Shoot me.

There is a huge difference between contender and chance.

Think of it like mma or boxing the guy who is #2 is referred to as the number one contender.

They don't refer to the 8th guy in line as a contender. But he may get a shot.

well then you are the minority. my apolgies. basically my point is if you operate under the assumption making the playoffs means you can win regardless of seeding, then you have to consider the bucs contenders
