Obviously nobody can see the future, but how long do we think the current playoff drought will last? Will it be 30 years again? Bucs already haven’t seen October in a decade.

It could honestly go forever. I think pre-2013 the organization still had some curiosity/desire to win, they were just bad at it and it hadn’t happened yet.
They have very clearly demonstrated over the last decade that they have zero desire to do that again, even when presented with the opportunity to. If they accidentally get anywhere close, they literally start stripping things back instead of trying to build it up further. They’ve seen what winning was like and actively decided not to seriously pursue it ever again. Things are so, so, so, so, so much worse than they have ever been.
It’s easier to make the playoffs with the expanded wild card now. We’ll luck into it one year in the next decade-ish
Maybe not the worst American sports team to be a fan of but it’s among the worst.
Mark my words a playoff appearance will happen in the year 2099. Then we’ll party like it’s 2999.
Get your tickets now.
The interesting thing is that you can walk that back to 1980, and every good team – that won 85+ games – made the postseason. The only close call was 1997, when they hung in the race because Houston badly underperformed.
Even that 2018 team, who were probably better than their record in a great division, feels like a distant memory at this point
This makes me feel so. old.
