Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Oh my!

[Bootz]

Here's how the playoffs would look if the season ended today.

NFC

#1- 49ers

#7 Packers @ #2 Cowboys
#6 Vikings @ #3 Lions
#5 Eagles @ #4 Buccaneers

AFC

#1- Ravens

#7 Colts @ #2 Dolphins
#6 Steelers @ #3 Chiefs
#5 Browns @ #4 Jaguars

[Buc2]

My dream scenario...

Bucs win the South with, say, an 8-9 record. Both the Cowboys & Eagles win out to finish 14-3 giving the Cowboys the East and relegating the Eagles to a Wild Card slot. The Eagles retain the 5th seed sending them to Tampa because division winners get a home playoff game. Tampa then goes on to beat the Eagles who have 6 more wins than the Bucs. I'd love it. The meltdowns in the City of Brotherly Love would be epic.

The tank is in.

What would they be tanking for?

Could low key sneak into a top 6 pick.

Could low key sneak into a top 6 pick.

And target who? A QB?

If Herbert is as bad as you say, who knows!

[Grahamburn]

Not all tanking is QB related. You know this. Eliminated teams rest guys at the end of the season with minor injuries every year.

Then who are the Chargers tanking to get?

[Snake]

You don’t often tank for individual players. You tank to have better options.

You're saying a lot without saying anything at all.

Pot, meet kettle.

[Pirate Life]

Not all tanking is QB related. You know this. Eliminated teams rest guys at the end of the season with minor injuries every year.

Then who are the Chargers tanking to get?

Marvin Harrison Jr, Brock Bowers, Joe Alt, Olu Fashanu, Malik Nabers, or Romeo Odunze? Any of them could help on the offensive side of the ball.

So they need ANOTHER WR after taking 1 with their 1st round pick in April? Sweet.

I don’t get it. Are you more likely to get a difference maker at pick #5 or pick #15?

There are more options the earlier you pick.

The meltdowns in the City of Brotherly Love would be epic.

ONLY if the Bucs win on the last play because Vea shoves a 4th and goal tush push back for a two-yard loss.

Just some non-QB names I tossed out from the top 10-15 on most draft boards. Chargers could be looking for defense, there's options there too.

But they have reasons to look at WR looking at the team. Allen isn't getting any younger (year older and one more season played than Evans), Williams can't stay healthy and Johnston's skills haven't translated to the pro level yet. Getting your QB some reliable weapons is never a bad idea. Being able to get a possible generational talent like Harrison Jr is almost always a good move even if you are comfortable with who you have (not likely based on where they will be drafting, but crazier things have happened).

Three of the names I tossed out aren't WRs. Bowers is a massive talent at TE, one of the few in recent drafts that is outstanding as a pass catcher and a blocker, would not be just the Chargers that would benefit from drafting him. Either Alt or Fashanu would upgrade the offensive line where the Chargers have had troubles this year.

More likely to get one emerging from your 53 man roster. You know, the one's playing and practicing with pros. Learning from pro coaches.

Which if they do emerge, you do better, you play better, you win more, you tank less.

I went to their board and wow, you would think they were Bucs fans

[Bootz]

Most of the country will see our game. It's CBS's most widely covered game this week.

[acmillis]

Yeah, but not in SWFL. https://506sports.com/

Anybody wanna PM a link, I'd appreciate it!

We have KC at NE on Fox? I hope NE wins just to see Mahommes melt down even more

[Bootz]

[Phantom]

Chargers probably will select Bowers.

[Snake]

Goodell…..

[BucsNBills]

Goodell…..

What a dumb bitch. As if the defense needs to be fucked over any more than it already is.

[Cheb]

Goodell…..

I have yet to hear from literally anybody how you are supposed to tackle a guy from behind any other way.

Tackle a runner around the shoulders? He's gonna run away from ya. Around the chest? Ditto. Dive at his legs and hope you clap his heels together? Desperate and unlikely to work.

You grab a dude around the waist and bring him to the ground. Especially if he's SPRINTING away from you, there's no other way to do it.

Banning or making this a penalty would literally kill the sport, and I'm not prone to doomsinging hyperbole.

Well said, Cheb. Well said. Thank you

Rererere tweeters?

[mdb1958]

Our redzone offense for scoring TD's is last in the league at home games. Way worse than anybody else.
