OT: Buccaneers, Rays & Other Tampa Bay Sports Teams

[Rschmitz]

They.....beat a team better than them in the standings

 

[These Are The Days]

I forgot we have Dallas next. I'm still shocked at how we played today. It was borderline unbelievable. I fully expected us to implode and lose by 20 nevermind win

 

[Hoek]

Bucs playing down to their opponent again. That doesn't work so good if they're 6-8 instead of 3-11...

 

[Stormbreaker]

Mike Evans with a big catch and Bucky Irvin doing Bucky Irvin things. Plenty of game left!

 

[Stormbreaker]

jk the defense can't stop Cooper Rush

 

[JTBF81]

Lol, Bucs playing like dog shit again, this time against a team that was eliminated earlier in the day. It doesn't matter if they rally or not, as there is no chance this laughbale defense is beating any of Detroit, Philly, Minnesota, or Green Bay.

 

[Hoek]

f***ing clownshow of a game.

 

[Rschmitz]

I’m done with White and Bowles

 

[Stammertime91]

I kinda checked out earlier in the season but I'm not surprised. They suck.

 

[JTBF81]

Pathetic effort by the defense, and laughably bad play calling and execution by the offense. If it means Bowles has a better chance of being fired, I hope they miss the playoffs so we don't have to see part 4 of this horrid movie next year.

 

[Hoek]

Bucs in control of their own destiny again, but the Saints sure are a thorn in our side so I dunno.

 

[Rschmitz]

Definitely not a cake walk

 

[JTBF81]

The Saints have been garbage for weeks and are dealing with a large amount of injuries to some key players I believe. They lost by two touchdowns to the Raiders today...If the Bucs can't beat this team to win a division title, they 100% don't deserve anything, and Bowles should be fired the day after.

 

[Rschmitz]

Can the Bucs jump the Rams?

The night of. Theyve gotten incredibly fortunate to be in this spot, with an unbelievably bad division while teams with +10 wins won't get in. Bowles should be fired at the whistle if they lose against the Saints. If we lose and the Falcons win, it makes it even worse given that OT shambolic loss early in the season. Painful reminder if we miss out like that.

Can the Bucs jump the Rams?

With a Rams L and a Bucs W next week yes they can.

As much as the Saints and their fans don't like the Bucs, just remember that the one team they unequivocally hate more are the Falcons.

They come into this game 3-12 in their last 15 games, outscored 342-228 (-114 point difference). They just lost at home to a 3-12 Raiders team whose flight was nine hours late arriving in New Orleans. They got shutout in their last road game. They're battered by injuries. We beat them 51-27 in their place earlier in the season. What more do we need?

So you're saying we lose 21 to 10? Got it.

I think 10-7 is going to normally be the new benchmark to make the playoffs, whether as a WC or div champ. This season, every team 10-7 or better will make it in except, perhaps, Seattle. There may be a 9-8 #7 seed in the AFC, but there will be exceptions. In any case, we agree about Bowles, as this Bucs team should probably be 11-5 or 12-4 right now with even average defensive play, which is supposed to be his area of expertise.
