Gil Arcia: This is a joyous time for many Bucs fans. Understandably so. Or Tom Brady. Regardless, Tampa Bay is in the postseason and first up for them is the Washington football team. They will be without linebacker and defensive captain Devin White and the status of wide receiver Mike Evans is still up in the air. Despite all that, Tampa Bay should advance to the divisional round playoffs.
This will have them travelling to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers , where the Packers get the best of the Buccaneers this time around. There are still too many questions surrounding the defensive backfield since their matchup against the Chargers back in Week 4, an inconsistent pass rush to help them, and with a poor record against teams above.
Still, this should be considered a successful season for the Bucs. From there, the Bucs will head to Lambeau to take on the Green Bay Packers who are chomping at the bit to get revenge for the embarrassment the Bucs served them earlier this year.
Say what you will about how the Bucs and Saints games went in the regular season, I do not see Tom Brady losing to a team three times in one season. Finally, the Bucs find themselves in their third consecutive regular season rematch, this time with the Chiefs who still just have too much speed and firepower.
The Bucs get close, but fall just short. Kansas City. David Harrison: The storyline in the off-season was all about Tom Brady. Early in the year, Tom Brady was the focus. Midway through the season however, the narrative turned more towards Tom Brady. As the team stumbled to a third quarter of the season, all eyes were on Tom Brady. Heading to the playoffs, I fully expect more attention to be dedicated to Tom Brady.
Washington is a tougher matchup for Tampa Bay than people may want to admit, but I think Tom Brady and the boys get it done and move on to a second-round matchup against the Packers at Lambeau Field.
Now, this is a weird one. Brady and his team left Detroit with a win and a new Tampa Bay record for the most passing touchdowns in a season, now standing at 36 after passing Jameis Winston 's high of Now it's to win 11 games and see who we play next. Evans managed to break his own single-season franchise record for touchdown catches 13 and come within 40 yards of reaching 1, With one game left in the regular season, he could be the first player in NFL history to record 1, receiving yards in each of his first seven seasons.
The question going into the playoffs will be whether or not the Bucs are peaking at the right time. A top-tier Tom Brady offense like theirs mixed with a well-rounded defense should be able to handle a successful playoff run. If the Bucs lose against Atlanta, a Rams loss to the Cardinals will still secure the fifth seed in the playoffs for Tampa Bay.
Falcons If the Buccaneers win their own game in Atlanta on Sunday, they could have a playoff spot clinched by the end of the afternoon, but it will take a very unlikely outcome in the Bears-Vikings game. Bucs Have Two Paths to the Playoffs in Week 16 Tampa Bay could have their postseason ticket punched by mid-afternoon on Saturday, but even if that doesn't happen they could still get it on Sunday Dec 26, at AM.
