Is it time to draft a defensive playmaker or is it time to roll the dice in the playoffs where weird things happen?

That is a question Nick Wize of WDAE-AM 620 posed to Bucs fans this week.

This is one of the weirdest conundrums Joe has ever seen. A good number of Bucs fans don’t want the Bucs to make the playoffs. Joe suspects that’s because Todd Bowles is so unpopular, fans figure missing the postseason improves the chances that Team Glazer fire him.

Of course, when Dan Marino was a young quarterback coming off a Super Bowl loss, so many fans across the NFL thought it was only a matter of time before the great Marino would return to the Super Bowl.

He never did.

So would the gods of football frown on Bucs fans for turning their noses up on a playoff berth, and then curse the Bucs with another Lost Decade or worse

Joe gets what Wize is saying. Per NFL.com, the Bucs potentially could get the No. 11 pick in the draft after this weekend’s games. If that happened, Joe sure hopes Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht gets either stud Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese or Auburn edge rusher Keldric Faulk?
