A loss to Tampa and you can kiss post season aspirations goodbye.

We'll see how badly we want it.

May not be that bad... but could be a one and done, also ran, in the playoffs with a 10-6 type record.

Crazy talk. A loss to Tampa means we're 7-3. Now if we lose to Carolina twice or something, then you might have a point.

And lest people forget, no teams go undefeated. Most seasons, best record is 13-3 or 14-2. Sometimes worse. SB champs have lost 4-6 games fairly frequently. Heck, the year the Bucs won the SB, Saints were the only team to beat them, and did that twice. Division rivals are always the toughest outs. We knew this before this game.

Patriots lost last week. Fins have won 2 in a row. Jets won today. Chiefs lost to Titans.

The NFL season is long and crazy at tines and they're still all professionals. We'll be fine. Chalk this up to a learning experience and get some work in this week and hopefully come out ready to play next week.
