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?

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
