Even if we have the hardest schedule, we just have to win the same number of games as the Bucs and beat them both times. That seems very doable now. I mean even if we only beat the Bucs both times and they only win two more games, we win the division. As bad as they’re injured I could see them losing out.

I see it this way, we could beat the Saints on the road, Seattle at home.  Will probably lose to the Niners and Rams.

That means we are 8-7 excluding the Bucs games.  For us to win the division, we could hope to tie the Bucs and win the head-to-head. to do that, we have to sweep Tampa Bay and finish 10-7 (yes--the Saints loss is killer).

Here is why:

The Bucs, on the other hand, have an EASY schedule.  AT HOME:  Cardinals, Falcons, Saints, Panthers.  AWAY:  Panthers and Dolphins.  I see them winning at least 4 more games.  If they beat the Cards, the Falcons, the Saints, and the Dolphins, they have 10 wins.  Probably expected because no team has over 4 wins except the Panthers.

Even if Baker is out, I see them winning 4 down the stretch, making their overall record 10-7 if they lose both games to the Panthers.  If so, we go.

While it could happen; I sense the Panthers are starting to feel it, but I thought that before the home game vs. New Orleans, so we shall see.  I give the Panthers about a 10-20% chance of pulling it off

What is the latest on Baker? Our team is mediocre but with Baker in a sling we have a reasonable chance at making the playoffs. Bridgewater can only do check downs at this point in his career, so any team the Bucs play without Baker is an L imo. This is the best news all season.

      Surely, since Young is the qb he is, a 3 year NFL starter, a qb with exceptional command of a playoff team, and many of us are just too stupid and blind to recognize, he will have no trouble mopping the floor with anyone from this list of has-beens and never-weres.

      After two seasons, I definitely have strong opinions of his playcalling and even stronger ones on his game coaching abilities.  Isolating AT as logic for BY success doesn't make any sense. Look at his body of work, his ratings in intermediate and deep, his bad throw percentages or FOR fuging SURE his terrible footwork. As I have continued to stress, he is an arm throwing, scrambling QB with significantly below average arm strength and underwhelming athletic ability for a modern QB. The "clutch" stuff is a lot of wishful thinking for a guy with a very low career winning percentage. I have never heard clutch attached to a QB that has the kind of winning percentage that he does. It doesn't logically make sense. I understand you are keeping your hope alive but most of us can see what I think you will eventually come to realize, he just isn't an NFL caliber QB.  Sunk cost fallacy is holding onto assets in the hope of recovering a return, rather than taking your losses and reinvesting them into something that may pay off. This is the exact opposite of sunk cost fallacy by keeping a failed asset. He has to be one of the football dumbest players we have ever had in the history of this franchise. Easily the most football dumb 1st round draft pick. Yeah well he seems to fug that up pretty often too. Further back into the stands, I would say.
