If Tampa Bay wins out...

Tampa would win.

If they win out any loss would knock us behind them in tiebreakers.

If we lose to Denver, and win the other two, we lose the 3rd tiebreaker, common games.

If we lose to NYG, we lose the 4th tiebreaker, Conference opponents.

If we lose to NO, we lose the 2nd tiebreaker, Division record.

This basically happened because our non-division Conference loss (Min) hits us in both the common games and conference tiebreakers, theirs (Dal) only hurts them in the conference tiebreaker.

It is possible for us to end the season tied and win the tiebreakers, but that would require them losing at least one game and then would probably come down to strenght of victory (right now we have +4 points on the Bucs). But if they win out, we have to do the same to win the division.

That's why it's so important for the Falcons to beat the Bucs at home on Sunday. (They finish up with SD and OAK at home)

If ATL wins out (11-5), TB wins final two (11-5), Panthers could actually lose to DEN and NYG, then beat NO. At 11-5 they would still win the division, and still have the #2 seed (own tiebreaker over AZ head to head).

The key tends to be Atlanta beating Tampa this weekend and Dallas beating the Giants. If that happens and we can somehow beat Denver and upset New York. Even if we lose to NO in week 17, we still have the number 1 seed and homefield through out the playoffs. Not saying all of that is likely but it could happen.

If Dallas beats the Giants and the Panthers beat Denver I don't think it would be an upset when the Panthers beat the Giants.

The game this weekend will be interesting. Atlanta is the better team, but Tampa just got embarrassed by us... they will be looking to prove something.

It IS at Atl and as we all know, this WHOLE damn division is undefeated at home, which in itself to me is incredible. So if this remains throughout the season then TB will have AT LEAST 2 more wins and ATL will have 2 more wins.

I know EVERYONE'S chalking up a win for the Bucs against the Chargers.

But we all know the Chargers CAN win, they just haven't much. They can surprise people late in the year (crazy we're talking about the Chargers "surprising")

I wouldn't be SO sure that the Bucs will beat the Falcons or the Chargers

I've got that feeling too. It just feels like a late season chokejob from Chucky is coming.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
