Tampa has a pretty easy schedule.  

They have both Atl and N.O. at home so an upset by either of these two teams is pretty slim.  

There only other game is Miami, who has been playing better lately but it's going to be tough. 

We are going to have to win against TB twice and New Orleans.

We'd both end up 10-7 if we beat them both games.  We'd have the tie breaker from head to head.

It's a huge task but if we can beat them in Carolina in week 15 we have a chance in the final game.  

If we beat Seattle it going to be quite interesting. 

I mentioned this in another thread, but you're spot on.  The only way I see us winning the division is to sweep Tampa and win at least 3 of the last 4.  Highly unlikely Tampa loses to anyone else but us.  The worst part is it looks like Mike Evans is coming back and he's taken our lunch money twice a year ever since Josh Norman left.  Losing to New Orleans was an absolute catastrophe that put us in a nearly impossible situation.

The most basic way to put it: We have a clear path if we can sweep them and they just lose 1 of the 3 other games.

  • They finish 2-3
  • We finish 3-1 (2 of those wins the sweep)
  • We win the tie-breaker, we're the 4th seed at 10-7

That gets it done. 

We have to take care of the Saints or else it's pretty much done.

The Bucs upcoming games are the Saints at home and the Falcons at home. It's difficult to envision them losing either of those regardless of divsional rivalry. The only game I see as truly up in the air for them would be against the Dolphins in Miami. That could be an upset. If we want to take the torch from the Bucs we have to basically win out and slam the door shut.

As someone said, divisional games are always tricky, that said they SHOULD take care of business vs NO and ATL, though I'd watch atlanta, they always seem to have Tampas number, only lost by 3 in week 1 and swept them last year.

The big key to me is I think Miami, I think Miami is really feeling themselves right now and the team somehow seems to have rallied around Mcdaniel.  After starting 1-6, theyve won 4 of their last 5 and now are 5-7.  As history has shown, under McDaniel, the Dolphins can either be EXTREMELY hot or EXTREMELY cold and they seem to be on the hot side right now.  Dont be surprised if they drop that game down in Miami too.

Basically, our schedule comes down to this, 1 very Layup (SHOULD BE LAYUP THAT IS!), 1 game that will be brutal and hard to win (seattle) and then 2 games to determine the division.

1st we MUST win against the Saints.  A loss and everything else is a mute point.

Week 16 is our season.  If we can beat the Bucs in Carolina we stand a chance regardless of week 17.

 

I'm glad I chose that game at the beginning of the season to go to. I hope that game still has significance by the time it gets here.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
