Stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.

It wasn’t pretty, and it certainly wasn’t decisive, but the 2025 Buccaneers weren’t ready to pack their bags Saturday. On the brink of elimination, they outplayed the Panthers in a 16-14 victory that extended their season — by at least one day.

Everyone in the Tampa Bay organization, including the people that sign the checks, will be glued to Sunday’s matchup between the Falcons and Saints in Atlanta. The winner of that game will determine whether Tampa Bay or Carolina will finish atop the NFC South. (more…)

Dumb and dumber.

It’s hard to win in the National Football League when you play sloppy and you coach stupid. The Bucs were guilty of both infractions Sunday in a 23-20 loss at Carolina that cost them a 96 percent chance to make the postseason.

Instead, the Panthers find themselves on top of the NFC South at 8-7 while the Bucs fell to 7-8 with their sixth setback in the past seven weeks. Unless Tampa Bay stumbles next week at Miami while Carolina upsets Seattle, the Bucs can still extend their playoff streak to six consecutive seasons by downing the Panthers at home in the regular-season finale.

Predictably, the Bucs don’t make things easy. (more…)
