And what each will mean for us going forward. Only 2 games matter next week. Browns at Panthers and Falcons at Saints. Here are the ways it could play out this weekend.

1. Panthers win and Falcons win. Best case scenario. Eliminates Saints. Winner of Panthers at Falcons in week 17 wins the NFC South.

2. Panthers win and Saints win. Falcons eliminated. Panthers would need to beat Falcons and Bucs would need to upset the Saints in Tampa for us to make the playoffs.

3. Panthers lose and Falcons win. All 3 teams still alive. Panthers could win the NFC South with the same week 17 results as scenario 2.

4. Panthers lose and Saints win. It's over for us.

1 is the only one that will happen imho. No way in hell that TB can beat NO

Not a scenario anyone wants but I wouldn't rule it out. NO is obviously not a great team, should have lost to TB the first time, and, much to their fans chagrin, TB hasn't and won't tank.

Sad part about it is if we both us and the saints win out we could be picking between 15 - 18th in the draft. So sad

18th isn't possible. Even a quick glance shows an 8 win team at 17, so we'd at a minimum be 16, likely closer to the 10 we already are. We have a 1.5 game cushion on the top 12 and the two teams .5 games "back" still have winnable games (MIN vs CHI and STL vs NYG).

Tampa will play for the #1 overall pick. I think the Saints will beat them. Our best chance is for the Saints to lose Sunday against the Falcons.

Hopefully doesn't come down to that but time will tell. I would hope for the #1 pick if I was a Bucs fan or outside of the coaching staff or 53 man roster. Inside of the locker room and on the field however I doubt that's the mindset. And this recent article is very gloomy regarding the Bucs draft outlook, http://tbo.com/sports/bucs/bucs-beat-its-never-too-early-to-talk-draft-20141213/

5.  The distant possibility of an ATL/NO or CAR/CLE tie. Or a week 17 tie between TB/NO or CAR/ATL brings a lot of alternatives into play.  Don't laugh, ties happen! :D

So Atlanta and Saints go at it.......division rivalry and a game that is essentially win or go home for the year......what is the chance that both teams beat the crap out of each other physically and emotionally in that game.............then the next week both Atlanta and Saints have less in the tank and both lose the last week?

 

Anyone think about that?

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
