The Bucs not only need to beat the Panthers to gain their first playoff berth since 2007, but also need wins by the Lions, Titans, Colts, Eagles and 49ers and Washington's second tie of the season. They have no one to blame but themselves for their dire situation after dropping back-to-back games
Why Titans and Colts are listed there? They are not even in the same conference. Also, why 49ers and eagles? How do those teams have influence on tampa's play offs?
it all deals with tie breakers, wins against a common team, point differential, strength of schedule, division record, conference record....a fukking headache to think about it really
and the Titans/Colts come into play due them each playing the Lions and Packers with the Titans beating both and the Colts beating the packers....crazy math really
