Bucs - 17 v. Panthers - 31 Game Thread

[dbair1967]

If Atlanta loses, we'd just need Washington to lose one more game to get in at 10-6.

But if Tampa loses, we'd need both Washington and Tampa to lose one more game.

If Philly wins out and we finish 10-5-1, we wont get in. I doubt Tampa finishes worse than 11-5, and thats assuming they lose on the road at Atlanta. They easily could win out to finish 12-4, so its almost a sure thing that they are in. I dont see them losing back to back (or 1-1) at home vs San Diego (who's season could be over this weekend) and then Oakland.

I cant see Philly losing at home on MNF to lowly Cleveland with Ken Dorsey at QB. They are also playing alot better than Washington and will probably be favored over them on the road, especially if Washington blew it against Cinci on the road this week (basically ending their season)

We screwed ourselves with the Cards, Rams and Steelers games.

I think Philly loses to Washington. Washington is not going to fold over for Philly especially if Wash is still in the playoff race.

Tampa could lose to San Diego even if SD is out of the playoffs. They aren't going to roll over either.

Last night works out great for me. I believe Atlanta will beat Tampa on Sunday, dropping them to five losses, and when we beat NY we'll then move into the five spot. Once again with us simply winning out the rest of the regular season we control everything for ourselves now.

This was a beautiful win for the Panthers. Now after we beat the Giants, if the Panthers can some how knock them off too, the Giants will finish second in the conference instead of one and could go into the playoffs riding 3 losses in their final 4 games.
