How lucky can you get?

Against the Saints, Mayfield hit Egbuka in the end zone, but Egbuka dropped it—costing the Bucs six points. They ended up losing by four.

Against the Falcons, Mooney fumbled with six Bucs around him, yet somehow he still came up with the football.

Later, Cousins fumbled and apparently had a hand on the ball along with a Bucs defender. The refs awarded possession back to Atlanta.

Pitts caught a TD with part of his body clearly landing out of bounds. Replays looked like his elbow was either down before  or at the same his butt hit, but somehow the Falcons still got the touchdown.

Either the Football Gods are smiling down on the Panthers, or the Bucs have seriously pissed them off. Either way, I’ll take it.

That color scheme is a crime against humanity.

I’ve hated it my whole life.   It really is the worst ever.

I feel the bucs pain with the number of fumble recoveries we have missed on bad bounces of the years. But also I dont care. Go Panthers, get it done.

I was struggling listening to the commentary about how it was one of the greatest throwback uniforms ever and there were some that were just plain ugly. I kept thinking to myself, damn, I wish I had selective color blindness.

Those uniforms are classic.

They went 2 and 26 their first two seasons with those colors

The refs called something like 15 penalties on Atlanta before I turned off TV. Now most of them were legit, and a lot on CB #24 covering Evans but some were also BS. I honestly thought there was no way Atlanta was winning that game.

More fool me lol

Listening to Buc players post game is interesting. They really see themselves as some powerhouse and it was a massive upset 

The Rams reaction to our win was much more grounded and professional. It gave  me respect for McVay.

Well there you go!

OK, let's analyze this:

Tampa Bay's last 5 games (including losses vs. New Orleans and Atlanta) November and December games:  1-5.  The only win was a 3-point win vs. Arizona.

Key games:  Of course, if Carolina beats New Orleans Sunday, the Panthers are a game up with Seattle, and 2 vs. the Bucs.  

DECEMBER 21 is probably a "must win" for the Panthers vs. Tampa Bay, assuming the Panthers beat the Saints. If they lose to New Orleans, they are long shots. The Panthers are at home and are 4-2 there-with a stupid loss to New Orleans.  A win could put the Panthers up 2 games with 2 to play.  

DECEMBER 28 is a huge date.  The Bucs have Miami on the road and are home for the finale vs the Panthers.  Miami has won 4 straight.  The Panthers play Seattle at home.  Seattle is 10-3 and 6-1 on the road. If the Panthers win, the Tampa games allows us to rest our starters.  Imagine that.

I don't know man how many times have we been screwed by refs and bad luck bullshit? It's time it comes around.

When you switch from Creamsickle to Pewter (and then back)...you know you're killing it in the fashion world.
