In point of fact, the Buccaneers have NOT clinched their division.

We now return to your regularly scheduled obsession with Tom Brady.

Not mathematically, but it would take an even bigger collapse than

- The Chargers in 2006
- The Seahawks in 2014
- The Falcons in 2016
- The Saints in 2013
- The Browns in 2013
- The Texans in 2017
- Dee Ford in 2018
- The Rams in the 2021 playoffs before Stafford saved them

COMBINED

for the Bucs not to win the division

The Bucs will certainly win the Super Bowl this year

Now, even if he was injured on the play, why didn't he just stick ball out as he was going out of bounds?

And why wouldn't you go for it on fourth and one?  That's a no brainer.

And why wouldn't you call timeout to give yourself a chance to respond on the Buc's last drive?

You have done a wonderful job this season. Yes, you have had some help from the officiating, but our offense has been wonderful. 

The most important stretch of the season is coming up.  Miami has the chance to earn tiebreakers over EVERY TEAM COMPETING WITH THEM FOR THE WILD CARD.

Please continue to be aggressive.  You were smart to go for it on fourth down yesterday.  This is in contrast from the Steelers game, where you went for it when you should have taken the field goal, and punted when you should have gone for it in the fourth quarter.

Here's a lesson from yesterday's MNF game that could prove handy, especially against Josh Allen.

The Saints faced fourth and seventeen deep inside their own territory leading by six with just over two minutes left and the Bucs having just one timeout

They punted.  Of course, we know what happened.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, please go for it.  It is in your best interest.  Even if you fail to get the first down, you are guaranteed to get the last possession with a chance to win the game.

Also, if you are in the situation the Raiders and Chargers were in last year, TAKE THE TIE!!!!!

Sincerely,

Unbelievable.

I said Brady couldn't get any luckier yesterday.

I was proven wrong again.

2nd and 8, the Saints running back chickens out and runs out of bounds one yard short of the first down.

3rd and 1, they fail to convert.

Then, they punt on fourth and one.

Getting the first down would have all but sealed the game.

Then, they drop a pass on their next possession, which would have given them the first down.

Then, they mismanage the clock and fail to leave themselves with enough time to answer

Mark my words, the Bucs are going to win the Super Bowl this year.

I can't believe it

I just can't believe it.  

TWICE the Atlanta Falcons have choked away chances to win their games in the last two weeks.

TWICE the Tampa Bay opponents have had the ball needing only a first down or two to win the game.

ALL FOUR GAMES HAVE GONE IN THE BUCS FAVOR.

Maybe TUA needs to mentally will his defense to make stops.

It's also worth mentioning that what we now consider a "bad day" from Tua is when he throws for the most yards and/or TDs against that defense of any QB not named Patrick Mahomes.

Exactly. He wasn't his MVP self, but if the defense played like it should against a 7th round rookie, we win that game. He wasn't the reason we lost, he was just off.

So much for that thought.  The Dolphins/Bills game has now been flexed to Saturday night.

On the bright side, if the defense gives up 30 points before halftime, it's close to bedtime.

Solid signing, basically no risk whatsoever.

Dolphins to sign Eric Fisher, 31, to bolster the O-line.  He was on the Colts roster last year but was mostly injured toward the end.  No team signed him this year.  Could be helpful for a couple games.

Good news.  The Dolphins/Bills game is also on the possibility of being flexed, so hopefully they wouldn't do that to the Dolphins twice.  A cold night game in Buffalo would be worse.

So much for that thought.  The Dolphins/Bills game has now been flexed to Saturday night.
