No one really knows whether they will repeat or not

In Response To: reasons why TB will not repeat (Ricky)

But I wouldn't use the running back situation as a deciding factor. If you look at what Tampa did in the last three regular season games and the three playoff games you'll see their running game was vastly improved as the offensive line began to gel. The offensive line will be better this year. The amazing, even scary thing to me, is how good this defense may be. Rudd is an upgrade over Singleton on the right side and Smith is much better at the Free Safety spot. Also, they get McFarland back and he is as good as it gets in the middle. The X factor here is how good the NFC South could be with all three opponents looking improved, though New Orleans is a big question mark in my view. I'd give Tampa Bay about a 20 per cent chance of repeating, though that might be overly optimistic.
