Bottom post of the previous page:
Tidbit that could have waited until tomorrow, but I do believe that as the 4th seed, we'd be hosting the 5th seed which is presently the 11-2 Minnesota Vikings.
Does this team win that game? Do the Bucs have better odds if they're coming in on a seven game win streak to make the playoffs?

I think we do beat them if we're healthy. Darnold may be playing really well but he's also turning the ball over a ton and we can score on their defense. This is still the team that beat the Lions earlier this year. I think we can honestly beat anyone in the league if our HC doesn't fuck it up for us.

We'll need a secondary. A couple of guys, a rookie, and Jamel Dean ain't cutting it.
You gotta be able to run the ball and play defense in the playoffs or you're dead. We can run the ball.

And I think everyone recognizes the massive, massive hole in this offense with Chris Godwin out.

It's not that big of a deal as long as Evans is around. It hurts, but it isn't game breaking.

McCollum has still been good, Tykee Smith has actually been great. Izien is a solid player, Winfield will be back for the playoffs. Dean is average at best but that's whatever.
And the Vikings don't have a great secondary. I still think it'd be something of a shootout but I also think Darnold gives us a couple of opportunities through his mistakes and I think Evans will shit all over their secondary.

McCollum and Winfield are my "couple of guys" and of course, Tykee is the rookie. I just don't have a lot of faith in the group outside of those three.
This whole damned defense needs about four starters and a lot more depth.

I'm doing Dolphins and Texans for the early game. CJ Stroud is fun to watch.
