Game #2 for the Buccaneers
While we don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves, the Buccaneers should find success if they fall into the previous scenario. Tampa Bay is so much better than the Eagles on paper, and hopefully, they will be up to the task of putting a team away early when this game happens.
If the Bucs win in that first matchup, the next game should be against the Green Bay Packers. This is good news and bad news for the Bucs.
The good news is that Tampa Bay has already won this matchup this season and did so in a compelling manner. The Bucs won in all facets of that game, and the formula should be much of the same in a rematch later in the year.
The bad news with this matchup is that it is tough to beat the same team twice in one year, as any athlete will tell you. The Packers are a great team with talented players and a competent coaching staff. The Bucs were able to pick up the win in round one, but they will make adjustments to make the game that much harder during the playoffs.
None of these games are a given, but the path to the NFC Championship is very clear for the Buccaneers, and the fans need to keep the faith, even if a few more games are dropped between now and then.
