So time for a little optimism. Looking at the way the schedule shakes out the next few weeks look like this.Tampa: Baltimore, Bye, Vikings, Browns Carolina: Bengals, Packers, Seahawks, Saints Atlanta: Bears, Ravens, Lions, ByeNew Orleans: Bye, Lions, Packers, PanthersSo lets say the bucs go on a winning streak and beat the Ravens, Vikings, and Browns. Which to me, isn't exactly a lock, but I would not say it's impossible, or crazy to think. Considering the Vikings have a rookie QB, the Browns have quite a few holes, and the Ravens are a good team, but not exactly elite. And the Panthers, Saints, and Falcons all go on a losing streak, which sounds crazy, but if you look at the schedules, there is a chance it can happen. The Lions, Bengals, Packers and Seahawks are some of the best teams in the NFL right now and make up the majority of those schedules. Assuming the Saints beat the Panthers week 9..... Tampa Bay: 4-4Panthers: 3-5Saints: 3-5Falcons- 3-4.
