could TB be a trap game?

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.
agreed, there is no such thing as a trap game for a 5-9 team.

it looks like the bucs have already mailed it in.

they have lost 8 in a row and from looking at the scores, they haven't even been really in the game.

since they beat the saints in week 6 (their last win) here what they've lost by...

bears by 6

saints by 11

texans by 28

packers by 9

titans by 6

panthers by 19

jags by 27

cowboys by 16

i think they had a little fight in them against the packers and titans, but after that they lost it.

the bucs are just coasting downhill. meanwhile, the panthers are feeling good about themselves and that it looks like things are really clicking together.

i don't consider this game a gimme, but i have very little reason other than irrational paranoia to feel worried about this game. esp. since it's being played here.

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

SMH at folks who think the higher the draft position the better the team is in the future. Id say winning is the most important thing for this team to do consistently. This isn't your ordinary losing season, bud....we are built to be a contender next year and so on. Its just as easy to blow a high draft pick as it is a low one....get off that poo.

I dunno man, we've been better off on the road here recently, ha. Although you are correct that there should be little reason for us to drop the ball on this one.

      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.
