Bucs Move Into First Place; Saints Level Up With Bucs After Panthers Choke Against Denver
November 8th, 2026
The slimy Saints are not a good team, but hey, they’re now tied with the first-place Buccaneers in the won-loss column!
Coming off a bye week, New Orleans knocked off the Browns (5-4) in overtime this afternoon at home to up their record to 3-5. That’s tied with Tampa Bay! This came after the Falcons (3-6) lost this morning to the Bengals in Spain.
That’s the third quality win for the Saints this season. They also took out the Ravens with Lamar Jackson and the Giants. The Bucs have yet to beat a team with a winning record.
At Carolina, the Panthers (3-5) choked away a 1st-and-goal at the 1 yard line, came out scoreless and lost to a good Broncos (7-2) team 26-21.
The sum total of all this? With two division wins, the Bucs officially are in first place heading into tonight’s game at Chicago!
Gotta love the NFC South landfill.
The Bucs will fall to third place with a loss tonight.

Of course the Browns choke after scoring a go ahead TD.
November 8th, 2026 at 4:34 pm
Boy did the Taints get lucky at the end.
November 8th, 2026 at 4:36 pm
sadly the Cowboys beat the Colts and Jerry Jones did not have an entertaining conniption

Will we still be leading the division if we lose tonight? NO. –Joe
November 8th, 2026 at 4:40 pm
Nope, 2nd place by half a game
November 8th, 2026 at 4:46 pm
ahh .. nope the Bucs will be in THIRD after a loss
November 8th, 2026 at 4:50 pm
Panthers 3-5
Saints 3-5
Bucs 3-6
Falcons 3-6

Don’t know of any team that made the playoffs because they led their division at the halfway mark in the season. It’s all about the finish line.
And right now we need the Bucs to continue to approach this schedule ‘one game at a time’ and HOPEFULLY finish these last 9 games with a good enough record to win the division & make the playoffs. Once you get to the Big Dance, anything can happen.
FIVE Wildcard teams have won the Super Bowl this century. The last one? The 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

I’m going to throw up 🤮 celebrating loosers this is the generation of everyone gets a trophy!
November 8th, 2026 at 5:01 pm
NFL needs to stop division winners and go by the records. Would stop loosing team from making the playoffs
November 8th, 2026 at 5:03 pm
Hey we won our division with 7 wins let’s celebrate being loosers and keep the head coach! What a joke..
November 8th, 2026 at 5:04 pm
hey you never know – the Bucs could win tonight
November 8th, 2026 at 5:04 pm
Just like the players throwing up ,reading this ” fan” garbage..
November 8th, 2026 at 5:15 pm
Scoot, be a winner and learn how to spell loser and losing. Don’t usually nitpick, but it makes you look stupid and I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that you’re not. And by the way, I agree with you about the division thing. But you lose the division situation which the NFL is built on so it can’t have no significance. But I’m sure the NFL can put their heads together and come up with a rational solution. Maybe an eight win cut off?
November 8th, 2026 at 5:18 pm
“Loosers” can’t spell “Losers”
November 8th, 2026 at 5:24 pm
I know this is a big what if, but what if the bucs do get the job done. Are they a good team or are they just a 4-5 team. Bill Parcells said it best you are what your record says you are
November 8th, 2026 at 5:25 pm
“The Bucs will fall to third place with a loss tonight.”
———
damn joe…it’s like you already doomed their fate with that blanket statement…
maybe next time try this ya doomer……
“The Bucs COULD fall to third place with a loss tonight.”
it’s like you already sealed their fate tonight 🙁
November 8th, 2026 at 5:26 pm
I remember back in HS we would chant “Loooosers, loooosers, loooosers at the team our HS was demolishing.
November 8th, 2026 at 5:30 pm
Abhhh feels good to be king
November 8th, 2026 at 5:32 pm
Bucs will win!
November 8th, 2026 at 5:50 pm
1st place?
Extend Todd 5 more years before the game tonight.
He’s earned it.
🙄
November 8th, 2026 at 6:06 pm
Ah yes, the Saints. But maybe we can say we would be tied for 2nd with the Falcons?? lol
November 8th, 2026 at 6:12 pm
Steven007,
While we’re at it, perhaps this will help you when critiquing someone else’s spelling. I think you meant “…eight-win cutoff.”
November 8th, 2026 at 6:14 pm
Not according to you Get-rid-of !
November 8th, 2026 at 6:14 pm
Once the Bucs lose tonight, the NFL South Sewer Division will have all 3 teams with 3 victories.
November 8th, 2026 at 6:31 pm
I think we all know what’s going to happen tonight.
November 8th, 2026 at 6:34 pm
We are in first place! Now lest go play like a division winner!
November 8th, 2026 at 6:39 pm
Baker is 2-11 in primetime and playoff games.
Tampa pretty much never wins in Chicago.
Not expecting a good night, but hoping for the best.
November 8th, 2026 at 6:42 pm
saints getting etienne and jordan tyson back could be a problem
November 8th, 2026 at 6:49 pm
We’re going to be 3-7 before Thanksgiving. This is still NOT a good team. Yes, they run the ball well sometimes. Tonight will be true test of that. And I’m not sold on the defense yet. Probably give up 30 tonight and against the Lions. I’m still all about trading for draft capital for a new HC and GM next season.
November 8th, 2026 at 6:53 pm
Ok so GB putting up 42 (in the third)so far on NE and making it looks easy,,, put up 17 on us ,,, Im starting to think Bucs D is for real,, the teams we will have played are (including Chicago ) are 47-30,, Tonight , run the ball, limit turnovers and penalties and keep this thing close
November 8th, 2026 at 7:01 pm
“The Bucs will fall to third place with a loss tonight.” Wait a second. That doesn’t sound right.
“The Bucs would fall to third place with a loss tonight.” There we go. That sounds right.
November 8th, 2026 at 7:19 pm
kenton…yes……read what i wrote to joe above ^^^^^^^
November 8th, 2026 at 7:21 pm
Geez the snfl broadcast cant stop glazing the bears my god ben johnson stanky leg who cares LOLLLL
November 8th, 2026 at 7:23 pm
realistically, all we can really ask for is a split these next 2 games……vs chicago and detroit…
a split either way is fine…win tonight or in detroit…
just don’t lose both…
and if we win both, something is brewing by the bay
November 8th, 2026 at 7:25 pm
Did someone post Bowles has been extended? I hope he got a raise, too.
November 8th, 2026 at 7:29 pm
if chicago wins tonight they are 7-2…if detroit wins next sunday they are 7-2…
i genuinely believe both are darn good teams but not elite elite…
7-2 is just a bit of an inflated record for both teams…
we gotta win one of these next 2…it can be done…
and get home for some home cookin’
(like in the warriors movie…the classic flick…remember the warriors, the gang was trying to just get back home to brooklyn…….from the big gang meeting up in the bronx)
November 8th, 2026 at 7:32 pm
We’re due some sacks! And some passing TDs!
I think I can speak for all the players and coaches when I say (to whoever would say we don’t have a chance etc etc) suck all of our a$$es losers 😭
November 8th, 2026 at 7:39 pm
Bowles should be raised and extended. He is performing well above expectations especially on the other things that are more important than wins and standings.
November 8th, 2026 at 7:39 pm
Carolina was 3-2 when the Bucs beat them so the Bucs have beaten a team with a winning record. The Cowboys were 2-2 when the Bucs beat them.
November 8th, 2026 at 7:40 pm
Detroit won today but struggled against the fish
November 8th, 2026 at 7:47 pm
adam from ny. oops, sorry I plagiarized you. I guess there was no intent there, it’s just that I hadn’t read the comments yet.

Winning the NFC south is like kissing your sister. It shouldn’t feel good.

Hodad, some of the people who write on this here website love kissing their sisters!

Come On Bain, Scott, I know you are double teamed a lot, that’s cause they’re scared. Do what you do get straight and, Be You.
November 8th, 2026 at 8:00 pm
20 minutes y’all!!!!!!!!!!
November 8th, 2026 at 8:01 pm
First place in the toilet bowl. Yay Todd!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
November 8th, 2026 at 8:05 pm
It’s going to be a great game. I think the Bucs actually win tonight and beat the Lions. We will drop a game against the Chargers, Rams, and Saints and end the season at 9-8 and win the South again.
November 8th, 2026 at 8:12 pm
Mike Tomlin, “they’re not gonna win tonight.” Everyone on the panel there picked the Bears.

November 8th, 2026 at 8:14 pm
Wonder how many 3 and 5 teams in nfl history had the best rushing defense and offense in the league?
November 8th, 2026 at 9:11 pm
Hey Mayfield you learning anything?? How to throw the ball?
November 8th, 2026 at 9:17 pm
Mayfield you are weak
November 8th, 2026 at 9:19 pm
Mayfield you are weak. Now screw it up again w the 2nd interception
