Easier Path

If it were the scenario ( and the Panthers never make anything this easy). I would play starters against Seattle because seeding isn’t set. If they were to beat Seattle you could play for better seeding against Tampa. But you could rest them for that game. 
 

Now again, we never make anything this easy.

Remember how we played after "victory Monday"? Now you wanna flirt with a "victory week"?

What leads you to believe this?

Bucs are in a downward spiral.

 Falcons will match up well against them with Bijan and put pressure on Baker.

 Dolphins have won 3 in a row.

They will be getting Evans back soon. Probably in time for our first game with them. I'm not looking forward to that.

Dolphins have been kicking people in the ass. Falcons game is 50/50.

Somebody reported he’s expected to come back for our game. Idk how long Baker holds on though, he has the shoulder, ankle, oblique, and he was getting hammered today. 
 

Im hoping if they lose Thursday and we win Sunday they just collapse and unwind.

I think it depends on how we respond this week. If the rest gave us an edge when everyone else is fatigued and we respond well, then yes. But we if come out playing like ass and unfocused-no.

Just WIN

Let's say TB beats ATL, we beat NO, we play each-other both at 8-6

We win the 1st head to head, that's 9-6 cats, 8-7 TB

Then TB loses to MIA 8-8, we upset SEA, win the division

Baker's injury severely hurts their chances.

[SmokinwithWilly]

Their WR injuries have hurt as well. No consistency in that group at all.

ATL for all their faults, are capable of beating the Bucs.  They beat the Bills, they can beat Tampa.

The Dolphins are suddenly 6-7 and running the ball well.  In-state rivalry.  Miami is playing better while the Bucs are sliding.

Its not probable, but possible they lose to both teams.

The problem with that is that the Falcons look like they have called it a season.

I don’t see the falcons winning, but they won’t lay down against Tampa. I’d expect Thursdays game to be close until the end. 
 

I am really worried about us against the Saints. These NFC South games can go either way, and I don’t trust Bryce; especially against New Orleans.
