00:05 Buccaneers were booked as a four and a half point road favorite in Carolina

00:09 against the Panthers with an outright victory.

00:11 Tampa would earn the NFC South Divisional Championship for

00:14 the third straight year.

00:16 They didn't score a touchdown, but they still won the NFC South,

00:20 shutting out Carolina on the other side.

00:23 A nine, nothing victory for the Buccaneers.

00:25 Third straight divisional title despite only 228 yards of total offense.

00:31 The Buccaneers cover as a four and a half point road favorite.

00:35 >> Yeah, watching last week and on the Pro Football Today show, I was like,

00:38 you know what, I think Bryce Young's gonna have a pretty good day.

00:41 This is two weeks ago.

00:42 I watched that football game and

00:43 realized that this football team had absolutely quit.

00:46 So coming into this Sunday's game, I look at that and go,

00:48 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers certainly aren't favored by a ton here.

00:51 But I don't think I'm getting anything out of the Panthers, and

00:53 it was apparent right away.

00:54 This offense is completely dysfunctional.

00:56 It leans on Chuba Hubbard as its best player and

00:59 gets nothing out of the wide receivers, end or tight ends, and

01:01 apparently the quarterback either.

01:03 I don't take anything away from this victory.

01:05 Am I high on the Buccaneers?

01:06 No. Do I think they actually lose to the Philadelphia Eagles?

01:08 Well, we'll get that mass unit report to see if Jay Lenertz can actually throw

01:11 football this weekend, and that could be a determining factor.

01:14 But the Bucs didn't have to do anything in this game but win, and

01:17 that's exactly what they did.

01:18 What did you want them to do?

01:19 Hey, Baker, go up throw 56 times in this game, throw multiple interceptions, and

01:23 maybe we lose.

01:24 No, the Bucs understood the plan here.

01:25 Carolina would struggle to get first downs.

01:27 Let's just get scoring drives together, and then late in that fourth quarter,

01:31 kick a field goal to put us up two possessions, and

01:33 laugh at the Panthers all the way to the bank.

01:35 They're a bad franchise.

01:36 Tampa Bay did exactly what they were supposed to do.

01:38 Just wait them out, move on, win the division, and go home for a playoff game.
