The 2018 season is coming to an end, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can go in many directions. Will they rise to the occasion? Or will they wilt and fall to the bottom of the NFL standings?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one final stretch of games before their 2018 campaign is in the books.

They were able to handle the lowly San Francisco 49ers this past week, but they face a daunting schedule to end the season. Wins will not be easy to come by. Their playoff hopes are all but dashed, but mathematically, they still have a chance.

Tampa Bay’s season can go in so many different directions, and each one can lead to a drastically different future for the Bucs. Their quarterback’s future is still up in the air, and their head coach is on one of the hottest seats in the NFL.

Can the Bucs string together wins and make a stunning late-season run? Will they start up the tanks and lose out? Or will they win a game or two and move on start fresh in 2019?

Here are five scenarios that Tampa Bay could face to end their season.
