Playoffs?

Don’t worry, baby. The playoffs are coming!

The Bucs will find a way. That’s what some 16 analysts with NFL.com believe. All but one person at NFL.com think the Bucs will find a way to overcome Zac Robinson and clinch a playoff berth in January.

The NFC South landfill will be the Bucs’ crown again!

Raza Umerani decided to type for the majority to explain why the Bucs will win.

The Buccaneers are a spiritually old-school football team with a hard-nosed defense and a smashmouth running game headlined by the always electric Bucky Irving. That hasn’t gotten them over the hump in some of their tough early-season matchups — it didn’t help that Baker Mayfield wasn’t out there for three of those games — but they haven’t lost by more than seven points this year. There’s no team whose identity I trust more in this division than Tampa Bay, which has the easiest remaining strength of schedule in the league.

Thanks to Robinson destroying any manner of a passing attack, the Bucs had no choice but to go all Woody Hayes. The less the ball is in Baker Mayfield’s hands, the better.

The Bucs can simply ground-and-pound opponents to wins.

Of the 17 NFL panelists (including Keegan Abdoo, Jeremy Bergman, Brooke Cersosimo, David Ely, Gennaro Filice, Grant Gordon, Bobby Kownack, Ben McWilliams, Matt Okada, Dan Parr, Kevin Patra, Chad Reuter, Nick Shook, Bill Smith and Mike Yam) 16 believe the 2026 NFC South landfill champion will be the Bucs’.

Only Lance Zierlein deviated.

The Bucs knocked the snot out of Carolina and Atlanta on back-to-back Sundays when the Bucs decided to go specifically to their ground attack.

So long as the Bucs don’t fall behind and have to pass, the run game will be just fine.
