King: Bucs Won’t Win NFC South
December 9th, 2008
Speaking on Mad Dog Radio on Sirius satalite radio Tuesday afternoon with host Chris “Mad Dog” Russo, SI.com’s Peter King has his doubts whether the Bucs win the NFC South after the Bucs’ lousy performance last night in a loss to the stinking Panthers.
When Russo stated he still thought the Bucs would win the division, King said:
“I thought [the Bucs] would win the division before last night but the troublesome thing for Tampa now is that they have to play Atlanta and Atlanta was shown [by the Panthers] the way to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“It was a horrendous performance. It was the worst display of tackling I’ve ever seen from a Monte Kiffin defense. It was stunning.”

Winning the division is not out of the question, but it does require beating Atlanta on the road next week. If they win out to finish 12-4, then Carolina must also win out to stay ahead, and they have road games @Giants & @Saints remaining. The Bucs would win the 2nd tiebreaker with the Panthers if they both finish 12-4, if Carolina’s loss is at NO in the final week.
