NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Week 15: Thursday Night Football, Atl vs TB Creamsicles

[Joey007]

Alright I’ll say it. Maybe we should go sign Pitts this offseason.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Guy is a disappointment, and he'll cost a bunch.
Don't be fooled by 1 good game without their #1 WR.
Couldn't block my dead grandma.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Wow, Bucs are going to LOSE to a BumSquad missing their top wr.
What a disgrace.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Thanks TB, You guys are pathetic.

 

[Ross12]

So I guess the Bucs actually just suck?

 

[NFL Mystique]

Mayfield was an early season MVP candidate. Boy did he fall off.

Also, maybe time to fire Todd Bowles. They are a mid team that isn't going anywhere with him.

Their problem is they are stuck in purgatory.

Interestingly the Panthers are now very much in the drivers’ seat for the NFC South. A win vs the Saints this weekend puts them firmly in 1st place, with two games left against Tampa in the remaining 3 weeks after that to secure their spot.

If they win vs NO and split their games vs TB they likely take the division.

In other news that First Round Bust TE Kyle Pitts had a great game.

They looked dead too.

It's been a crazy season.

Hey Pat fans you think we can beat Denver in Denver this Sunday?

Of course

It's funny how Tampa went kinda South no pun after we spanked them. How do you lose to teams that are basically Eliminated?? A Head Coaching vacancy will be in Tampa Bay: gotta flush Toilet Bowles now.

 

[TheRainMaker]

That was a pathetic choke job by the Bucs.

You'all are still in the Running for the #1 overall in the NFC.

that is just mind boggling... tampa should have run roughshod over the south

 

[TB12TheGoat]

didn’t watch the game but just saw the box score. the other team has 19 penalties and you still lose? what the ****?

Parity

And Mayfield sucked

Mayfield has been really awful since about midseason. Not sure what the hell happened. He was really solid early in the year. Ever since around the Pats game, they've kinda fallen apart.

So.... if Carolina beats New Orleans this weekend, it sets up a situation where Tampa NEEDS TO sweep the Panthers in their two games in weeks 16 and 18 to win the division or else they get bounced out of the playoffs entirely. Because Carolina winning this weekend gives them a 1 game lead, and so even if Tampa wins their other non-head-to-head matchup and Carolina loses theirs (Miami and Seattle respectively) that just puts the two teams back to the same record, but Carolina would have a 1 game better division record (3-1 vs 2-2). So, Tampa would need to sweep Carolina to pass them in actual record/division record and take the division; if they split their games, they finish with the same record, but Carolina will have a better division record still, so Carolina takes the division.

It sets up an interesting scenario where if Carolina wins this weekend, it will actually create a division-clinching game the following weekend for them. Tampa has to travel to Carolina in week 16. If Carolina wins that first matchup, it prevents Tampa from sweeping, so Carolina would clinch the South in week 16.
