Even in opposition to the Browns\u2019 leaky run protection, the Bucs couldn’t maintain any success on the bottom. They have been up 17-10 on the Browns for a lot of the second half earlier than David Njoku tied the sport with a late landing seize. Still, 17-10? In the second half, the Buccaneers went three and out 4 instances. Let a group cling round lengthy sufficient, and sure Jacoby Brissett can lead landing drives late within the fourth quarter, and in extra time to drag out the win. <\/p>\n
So that’s what goes head-to-head to conclude the Week 13 slate. Two offenses which have been struggling to place 20 factors on the board, taking part in in a vital sport with division title ramifications, and each groups are beneath .500. <\/p>\n
According to NFL guidelines, a group has to win this division and that group should host a playoff sport. It\u2019s an archaic rule that must be achieved away with in all main American sports activities. However, since that gained\u2019t be taking place anytime quickly, let\u2019s simply root for this division to be out of our lives as shortly as doable.<\/p>\n
That means pull for each opponent that the Buccaneers have for the remainder of the season. If they win the division with an 8-9 document, that is the one group that may slog their technique to a playoff victory. The Buccaneers would most likely host the Dallas Cowboys within the Wild Card Round. On paper, this might be a whole mismatch. However, be trustworthy, you realize you possibly can see the Cowboys blowing that sport. <\/p>\n
I actually do. They don\u2019t have the offensive playmakers to threaten the Buccaneers down the sector. It could be even tougher to take action with a wholesome Antoine Winfield Jr. and Sean Murphy-Bunting on the sector in January.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys may let the Buccaneers cling round too lengthy, after which the outdated vet Brady may flip again father time\u2019s clock for a few late landing drives, and we might be caught with them within the divisional spherical. Maybe even a rematch of final 12 months\u2019s Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 playoff nightmare. <\/p>\n
None of that might be enjoyable to observe. The playoffs are imagined to showcase one of the best that the league has to supply, not a rock combat for 3 and a half quarters. <\/p>\n
So for many who need most leisure within the playoffs, change into a Saints fan for a day. Because the sooner the Buccaneers are gone, the sooner the 2022 NFC South might be out of our lives. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
