and we won a game in the playoffs.....where our leading receiver was Fozzy Whitaker w/ just 39 rec yards. That feels like a 2025 Panthers type winning setup.

Yep, the board has amnesia to the weekly swings and declarations made. The same cast of characters has been talked about vastly different repetitively and you only have to go back as far as the game before the last one....and just keep repeating that pattern largely backwards. I personally feel confident that this team is not bad and it is not good. And while that is nice to get back to be out of the literal dumpster......I don't view this team as an average team w/ a puncher's chance. All average teams are of different molds. We are more the, if a really good team plays bad, you will lose to us variety. We aren't bad enough where you can get away with a bad day vs us anymore.

My bad, I was referring to the second half. I was gone running errands for most of the first half and early 3rd qtr.

Same it’s been too long Cam’s third year we got a home playoff game and got bounced pretty harshly. That stung more because we were 12-4 Id love for us to make playoffs just for Bryce and these young guys to get that same experience heading into next season. I’ll view this more like 2014 when we had no business being in the playoffs but got in. Playoff experience is never a bad thing especially for a young team like us

We probably will pick up his 5th year option. Almost 90% sure we will unless he just implodes this gift given to him. If he plays like he did against the Falcons then they may consider a long term deal but highly unlikely. I think they will definitely do the 5th year option even if we reach the playoffs and win a game.

Are you sure he's not a bucs fans?

Yep this. This board will do a 180 if we lay a stinker in NO on Sunday and rightfully so. So let’s pump the brakes here

I'm honestly okay with that as a final outcome.

I remember it vividly. A twenty point loss after what had looked like a fairy tale start set a pretty predictable mood. Most of us went back to our default mode (gloom, despair and agony on me). Rest of the season ended up turning out okay, though

Which one of yall is this?? aafd92e24e5b4c6aeaf315c172e233b7.mp4

I've had tickets for the Bucs game since September. I never thought this game would mean this much when I bought them. After the 1st half of the season I thought I would not be able to give them away. Now I so glad I hung onto them. They are great seats also so this game became extra special knowing my son will be right there with me.

I find all the "what ifs" and "yeah buts" kind of amusing Back during the 1985 NFL season, there was one team in the league who figured out a way to beat the Chicago Bears... and they did so in convincing fashion. Ironically enough, it was the Miami Dolphins. When the Dolphins made the AFC Championship game, it set the stage for an epic rematch in the Super Bowl. The generationally dominant 85 Bears were going to have the chance to avenge their only loss and cement their legacy while the Dolphins could potentially gatekeep the mystique of their 72 team by keeping the Bears from winning the big one. Would have been amazing Unfortunately, Miami blew it in the AFC Championship and the season ended with the Bears destroying a badly overmatched New England Patriots team in what was not exactly a fun, competitive Super Bowl Similar thing happened in the NFL's 75th season, which could (and maybe should) have ended with a matchup between the 49ers and the Steelers. Both teams were 4-0 in Super bowls at that time And it could have been billed as a war to determine the ultimate Super Bowl champion of that time... ... except the Steelers didn't make it, so we wound up watching yet another uninteresting blowout with the 49ers stomping the San Diego Chargers. As a football fan, I'd absolutely love to have seen the games that could have been. But in hindsight, I kinda doubt the Bears and 49ers fans lose any sleep over the fact that their championship trophies were in part aided by other teams' stumbles. Hell, that sort of thing happens on an annual basis. So am I gonna be bothered if, in the end, a good finish to this season is owed in some part to someone else's ill-timed failures? Lemme think about it ... No.

My comment wasn't too serious, I retired from " public safety" job in roughly the same area years ago and moved from the area. Like all cities there's good and bad. Your synopsis of the town, which I agree with you is .

Yeah, all teams needed to do was fake every FG and run surprise onside kicks and badabing badaboom, down goes Carolina.

More good news (if true). Robert Hunt is probable for the final game of the regular season

Wow is free.

I think I should have played pitts

Yep, we really have risen from being so that you almost have to try to be that bad….to average (which the league is basically engineered for you to be average)….and I do worry that the brainiacs at BOA will do and treat that as. We basically have a team that doesn’t stink yet not a thing scares someone. Division being down also complicates real perspective. Bucs and Saints have the 2 easiest schedules to date this season and one team stinks and the other likely is .500ish off that advantage

We’re not a Super Bowl winning contender but the stars are aligning for that home playoff game from winning the NFC South. It’s only going to complicate things further.

Most of you probably know by now that I am in "hoist" mode.

All aboard this Koochie Bus!

One thing I can say I've gained from watching this season: A better understanding of Monte, Happy Doyle's color commentator partner in Major League I get ya, dude

I wore my old #28 jersey to watch our last game! I WILL be wearing it Sunday!
