CBS: Prepare For Super Bowl
November 5th, 2020
The Tiffany Network has spoken.
CBS Sports has seven NFL types working for its website. And if you are a Bucs fan (and if you aren’t, why are you reading?), you will love to know what all seven predict for the Bucs.
The first time the Bucs ever went 6-2, the Bucs made it to the NFC title game before losing to the Rams in 1979. The second time Tampa Bay started out 6-2 the Bucs won the Super Bowl.
Last week’s win over the Giants was the third time. And all seven CBS Sports NFL beat writers are convinced the Bucs advance to the playoffs this year. In doing a series of mid-season predictions, the Bucs are a unanimous choice to make the playoffs and end a 13-year drought.
But wait, there’s more!
Four of the seven NFL sophists are of the mind the Bucs make it to the Super Bowl. That’s over half of the experts.
Further, heavy metal headbanging Jason La Canfora and John Breech have the Bucs winning it all, hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy in victory at the Den of Depression.
So you can rest easily tonight, Bucs fans. Even if the Bucs get tripped up against the Saints, the Bucs will make the playoffs.
At least.

Joe, I just realized something. If the Bucs win on Sunday does that mean the Den of Depression moniker gets retired or do they have to win more than four games at home?

Sure. We’ll make it to the SB, just like the Giants game was going to be a “cake walk.” Damn, Joe sure likes to tempt fate. One game at a time, please. If the Bucs can’t beat the Saints at home this time of year, that would not give me a lot of confidence they’ll make it to the SB. The strongest position for making it to the SB is by winning the Division, and that may largely be determined by what happens this Sunday night. Go BUCS!

“So you can rest easily tonight Bucs fans. Even if the Bucs get tripped up against the Saints, the Bucs will make the playoffs.“
Why because some studio heads said so? They got to earn it still. This is the Bucs we’re talking about. They haven’t earned squat, they just let Danny Dimes look competent again and couldn’t beat BD Nick. We could still have Brady hurt, AB implode the locker room, Covid, and a number of other things could derail this train.
Stay the course because we haven’t done sh!t and nothings gonna be handed to us, we got to take it.

We need to focus on winning Sunday, period…….
And, yes,,,,,we will likely be in the playoffs if we lose…..but we want the division & the hometown bye…….Go Bucs!!!

Have to disagree Joe. Tripping against the Saints is not an option. I want to trash them by all costs. This is giving me high school Friday nights lights against your rival vibes.

I need to see a convincing win against three Saints before I get my hopes up.

We need to beat the saints by 35 and send a message to the leauge.

Go Bucs!!

We need to lose one more to the Saints and I’ll be convinced that they’re on track for another SB.
One of the main anomalies from their greatest season ever was that they lost two to the lowly Saints that year.

We lost both games to the saints the year we won the Super Bowl……
