could TB be a trap game?

Im not sure how long a team can get blown out before they start pushing back. But maybe the end of the season could help them give up easier. Just two more games and they are out of the spotlight.

Also we're gelling towards the end but we've blown out TB I hope we don't get to cocky or come out flat.

I feel like we're a different team who attacks instead of playing foxball so we should be fine. But the thought has entered my mind. Discuss!

I don't see how a 5-9 team would look at a division game and be overconfident. Plus Rivera has told the players they are playing for their jobs. No we will be out to win this home game at Christmas time.

We are 5-9 playing a team that is 4-10. There is no such thing as a trap game for teams like the two playing tomorrow. Only question is which team is more focused on the game instead of thinking about the off-season and where they will spend the holidays.

I believe last week was a turning point for the team. Of course need more than one game to know for sure. But the Panthers have been getting closer and closer, that's why the Atlanta game was such a pisser. To end the season 5-1 is huge can't see the players looking past that.

I hope both the Buccaneers and Saints play hard these last two games. We need to be in good position for the draft.:D

Our draft position isn't going to differ all that much regardless of the outcome of these last 2 games....that being said, I hope both TB and NOR do play hard and we still beat that @$$ :D

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
