As strange as this may seem… (playoff seeding)

Sad to say but the biggest reason why the Bucs became a legitimate threat to the Saints (besides the fact that the Saints have lost important NFC matchups) is that Baker Mayfield has played much better than anyone could have foreseen when Tampa Bay picked him up. Without Mayfield making their offense viable, the Bucs wouldn't have been much better than the Panthers. When the Saints go to Tampa, our defensive pass rush must be working like it did against the Giants, or else Baker will have a field day moving his offense. It's really that simple.
The crazy thing is this really shows us 2 things:
-The extra seeding allows marginal teams a shot at the playoffs
-It shows how down bad the NFC South is..lol

I was talking to a buddy of mine at work who is a Bucs fan and I told him Baker is getting a lot of love for having the Bucs at 7-7 after Week 15..lol
