More Postseason Breaks For The Buccaneers
November 24th, 2024
The football gods continue to help the Buccaneers in their quest for another Super Bowl.
Look who lost today in the NFC.
The 49ers (5-6) got hammered by the Packers (8-3). That’s a good potential happening for the Bucs’ postseason Wild Card chances. While the 49ers hold a head-to-head tiebreaker edge on the Bucs (5-6), San Francisco has a brutal remaining schedule with a trip to Buffalo up next.
Washington (7-5) also lost. They were upset at home by depleted Dallas (4-7). The Commanders have been imploding and allowed 24 fourth-quarter points to the Cowboys. The Bucs own a Wild Card head-to-head tiebreaker on Washington.
Damn, if the Eagles (8-2) can knock off the Rams (5-5) tonight, the Bucs’ Wild Card chances will have taken a massive step forward this weekend.
Of course, the goal is for the Bucs to win the NFC South. Tampa Bay sits one game behind Atlanta (6-5), which owns the head-to-head tiebreaker on the Bucs.
However, on paper, Atlanta has tough remaining games on their schedule against the Chargers, Vikings and Commanders. The Bucs, using the same on-paper gauge, have only one rough opponent — at the Chargers on Dec. 15.

Lets see if we can win the Panthers and the Raiders and after we can talk about the Playoff chances we have. We looked ahead when we were 4-2 and we all saw what happened. We are not a team that can look far ahead. Lets see the next game.
Go Bucs

Right on Xristos. These team will lose to the Panthers next week if
we start thinking playoffs . We are good but not great and once we think we have arrived lose a game or 4. If we are too cocky and think we are so much better
than our next opponent . Game over . And Carolina always plays us tough as division foes do. One game at a time and no more .

How about just beating the Panthers.

I think the Bucs can win the NFC South. I think the Falcons finish 9-8 with their remaining rough schedule while the Bucs finish 11-6 or 10-7. The only team I think the Bucs could lose to is the Chargers.

I got no problem looking forward to the playoffs, because that’s where we’re at: any losses now can unglue our season. We need to be acting like our playoffs start NOW.

The playoffs have already started.

Next!

The bucs still have that nasty habit of playing down to their competition…We shall see.
November 24th, 2024 at 9:31 pm
we are trying….just give it time mufu

One at a time does it. I will think about playoffs later. For now, I will enjoy this week.
Go Bucs!

I think many of you are crazy thinking only game we may lose is Chargers. Toddy is still running the show and he is famous for clunkers especially against bad teams. Would be shocked if we win all the games we are supposed to. Carolina twice and Aints won’t be easy. Hate that we play Aints last game of season cause if we are in the mix with how dirty they play to come out of the game without injuries going into a potential postseason game the following week would be a miracle in a sense.

Amen Xristos. I think we are too talented especially on offense for us to lose to the Panthers but they are playing well and Bowles can lose to anyone.

Just do us fans a favor, Bucs, and beat Canales’ Panthers. Okay, Coen, you’re finally starting to gameplan creatively with our offense. Now you get a chance to beat Canales with a better offense. So do it.

Yes they are getting help but will they help themselves. Still don’t trust them to run the table. I could see this defense giving up the booty to the saints like they do once a year AND if cowboys can beat the commanders they can definitely beat the Bucs.

panthers have a good d crowds gonna be amping them up. Please don’t
take them lightly and embarrass yourself by losing to a team you shouldn’t !

For the Bucs 1000% correct

The Bucs are in it. If they can make the playoffs I like their chances there, too. They have beaten the Lions and Eagles and played the chiefs, ravens, etc tough.

Lions
Vikings
Packers
Will all make the playoffs. That leaves a single wild card spot being fought over potentially by us, Atlanta, Washington and maybe an NFC West team… seems unlikely.
We need to win out and win the division. And the probably play an NFC North team in the first round… If we somehow get a wildcard, we would most likely travel to Philly, based on where it looks like all these teams are headed.
