The Bucs won't rest starters, will play to win

They NEED to win!  Yes the Packers have the bye and home field locked up, but they want that 2nd seed. They want home field until NFC Championship game, and probably need it without Godwin and AB, while also having a depleted secondary. Also, as the 2nd seed they would get home field in NFC championship if somebody beats the Packers. They definitely don't want the 4th seed and travel to the Packers early

They said during the game last night that GB had lost a few playoff games at home. So being the #2 seed is important.

Must be nice to be in that situation.

Hey, we got a plan though.  One that is totally working.   1000%.  Man o man, if you could see what Matt Rhule sees.  What goes on not in the games or practice or camp.   If you could see the rest of it.  Probably would make you cry tears of something.

I hope they use us as a tune up game before the playoffs. I'd settle for an NFL record for points against. I know no member of the current roster really would want to be a part of that, but it might be the only way for them not to have to endure 17 more games of embarrassment next year. 

If we're going to be their tune up game, the Bucs will be misfiring on all cylinders when they have to face an actual opponent.

I think that's worth taking a massive L.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
