Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Potential Wild Card Contenders?
Transcript
00:00I think they're gonna do well this year. Like I said, I don't think this is a team that's
00:06going to fall off the planet. Look at that schedule we just put up there for Tampa Bay.
00:10All right. The beginning could be a little, if you start off against Washington, it should
00:15be a win. At Detroit, yeah, you're probably gonna lose that one. Denver, wait, Philadelphia,
00:20Atlanta, all right, maybe you could split, but even if you lose two there, New Orleans,
00:24Baltimore, Atlanta, again, if you could survive the Baltimore, Atlanta, Kansas City, San Fran,
00:29you could survive that, you know, and I understand that's a big if and that's a lot to ask here,
00:34but after that, Giants, Carolina, Vegas, Chargers, I don't think it's gonna be all that good.
00:40Cowboys a little tough. Carolina, New Orleans. The second half of that schedule, after your
00:44bye week, by the way, you can make a run. You can make a run there. I think Atlanta
00:50wins with division, right, and I have a ticket on that to win with division, but I think
00:53the Bucs could be a wildcard team. I do. I think it's one of the teams that we expect
00:57to be big things, like the Cowboys, that they don't play as well, and I don't think
01:00they will. Their schedule is much rougher. You know, maybe Tampa gets in over them. They've
01:04won with division three straight years. We're not talking about, oh, this team's bad. I
01:09get it. Tom Brady was the quarterback for two of those, but one of those, he was bad,
01:14right? He wasn't the same quarterback anymore. I kind of think we're sort of forgetting about
01:18this team because of all the big moves that Atlanta has made, and like I said, I think
01:22Atlanta wins with division, but I think the Buccaneers are a nine, ten win team, somewhere
01:26around there. It doesn't mean they're better than some other teams, but the schedule plays
01:29out better for them, especially if they can just not, as I said, that one little stretch
01:33there where they play four or five good teams in a row, just don't go 0-4, you know, 1-4,
01:39whatever it might be. You know, go 2-3, and I think they'll be okay.
