With how injured the Bucs have been I would be surprised to see them send starters out if they win the next 2 weeks. That would really be a kick in the nuts to have us play their 2nd string in a meaningless finale. 

I was thinking earlier, if they end up having another one of those meaningless final games I won't be watching. Not that my announcement deserves a cookie or anything

Losing the last three with Bryce faceplanting down the stretch is honestly the best thing for the organization long-term. Sad to say, but that's the truth. Backing into the playoffs by winning a bad division with the Bucs in freefall might be the worst outcome long-term. Anything that allows the organization to cling to this farce of Bryce being the answer at QB is a terrible thing for the long-term of this franchise.

That is a shite reality to face, but I do agree. I still want us to win though lol.

It's hard not to when we've been irrelevant for the better part of a decade. I would too if I had any confidence in that not giving the organization the excuse to continue to delude themselves. I certainly won't be mad if we win the division but it'll make me nervous about what dumbass decisions that could lead to.

That is the brutal truth. (Limping or backing into the playoffs and giving false hope)

I wanted him to remove all doubt the last 9 games (after the injury blip), either way. Good or bad. He hasn’t. Either way really. But I haven’t seen enough to justify that 5th year. Granted I was going to be a tough judge to win over. 

The playoffs thing…

It t is like rooting for higher taxes next year and the year after if you get a nice stimulus check right now.

 I mean, you think you are rooting for something good, but in reality you’re not.

We've clearly taken a step forward this year. We also still clearly have a ways to go.

Consistency is key. We have been unable to find it this season in any phase.

It’s a step forward but if it results in Bryce being extended it’s like 5 steps back

Losing yesterday eliminated us from the playoffs. The Panthers will not beat Seattle and will be lucky to beat the Bucs at home. Its already over, its just waiting on the final nails in the coffin. 

We all know whats coming in spite of the superficial hype thats being drummed up. We are going to get pounded...unless we have a miracle GB..Rams... Dallas game. Which were flukes and negated the NO games. Mayfield is going to personally pound a nail in Evros defense because of his time here...
