#4 in the OP was FALSE
The 1st half offense against the Bengals was more the Bengals coming out flat then the Bucs offense being real.
In the last 2 games, the Panthers have over 500 yds in rushing offense.

lolz
anything is possible once you make the playoffs but this Arizona game should have been a "get right" game and we haven't been right all season.
if we manage to beat Panthers, a team with interim coach and unloading good players at deadline, rebuilding mode; then hard to imagine us NOT being one and done in the playoffs.
we factor in the Brady factor which gives us hope but Brady has been alot of the problem this year as well in addition to terrible coaching, less talented team to 2020, 2021
can we put up 30 points a game like we did in 2020,2021. that will be the question and i dont expect them to automatically flick the switch come January.
Dallas over their last 8 games has averaged 37.5 points per game. This is a different team than the one we faced in week 1. I also believe we also had more confidence in our Bucs in week 1. Sure we will be hoping that Dallas will choke once again in playoffs and that Brady will have his A game but hard to "Bank" on that
everyone mentions the playoff QBs - Hurts, Cousins, Purdy, Prescott, etc. but all of these guys have been playing better than Brady as of late. Sure i'd take Brady 5 years from now over Daniel Jones, Tyler Heinke, Geno Smith, or Jared Goff but we wont be playing those teams.
first round Dallas
second round - realistically hoping for Philadelphia. I see Niners getting second seed and dominating whatever team they face at 7, let's say Washington. Other match up woudl be Vikings versus Giants. If Giants upset them, we travel to SF so the hope would be not the case. So our only hope with Philly is how bad Hurts injury is. does it linger? will he be rusty? can we channel last January Buc pride. They didnt look too bad with Minshew in there either.
third round - looking at traveling to SF where we got stomped
in reality, hard to see us not losing in the first round. Hell i am not confident we even win the division. this is a team that in 2020 (Giants 25-23, Vikings 26-14) 2021 (Jets 28-24, Patriots 19-17) we had some questionable/uninpiring wins - but it was the exception, not the rule. Hell, this year i was impressed with our 2-0 start but we barely hung on against Atlanta and Seattle wins and took magical comebacks against Rams, Saints, and Arizona - mind you just one of our wins likely being against a playoff team which was back in week 1
90% of this team's issue is their personnel use and formations. That's why they were able to come back frantically in some of these games. It's not "flipping a switch", it's just literally not using heavy packages and trying to slam it in there behind Ko Kieft and Cade Otton, instead using wide open formations and throwing it all over.
Even if the Bucs lose to Carolina next week, the Bucs could still back into the playoffs if NO beats Carolina in the last week of the season and the Bucs defeat Atlanta.

Because this O-line hold up so well ..
pfft
Even a win feels like a loss under Turd Bowels.

They're all good outside of LT. Saying the offensive line is the reason for the offensive struggles is a false narrative.
I want to make the playoffs and play spoiler, sounds fun.
But I fucking hate this team. Mostly the offense but also the culture.
It is not enjoyable to watch...
Brady is equally awful to watch... he's getting rid of the ball way too fast. He's scared.

scared, but our o-line is good (according to JC)
Spot on!As bad as this franchise is historically, you want to see a playoff appearance.
Everyone hoping for failure due to better draft positioning must be forgetting who this coaching staff is.
