It has nothing to do with regional rivalries. It's actually pretty easy to figure out.

We're in the NFC East, obviously. That means that we play the 3 other teams in our division at home and away (6 games, total). Then we play another division from the NFC and one from the AFC (8 total games) The divisions that we play rotate each year. For the last 2 games we play the teams from the other two NFC divisions that we did not play that had the same divisional ranking that we did last season.

So, last year we played TB because we played the entire NFC South. This year we play them because we both finished 4th in our respective divisions last year. It's pure coincidence that we've had to play them 6 years in a row (or whatever).

As far as having to play them in TB 4 times in a row, I'm at a lose on that one.
