Bucs Fall In BSPN Rankings
December 17th, 2025
What do you think Lavonte? How many more wins you have left in those old bones?“
The Bucs are almost in the bottom third of the league.
In the eyes of the mouse outfit more commonly known as BSPN, losing to two division rivals at home with awful records who had more to lose by winning, in less than two weeks, well, that tends to put frowns on the faces of those who judge from afar.
And so it is with BSPN. It has the Bucs ranked at No. 21 in its latest power rankings. So if the NFL players were based on rankings rather than division titles, the Bucs wouldn’t be anywhere near close enough to qualify as one of the 14 playoff teams.
Thank goodness for the NFC South, right?
The Bucs, since the bye week, have stunk. They’ve lost five of their last six games (since the bye), and six of their last eight games. It’s been brutal.
Last week the defense let the Bucs down, not that the offense played perfect ball. But with the return of Mike Evans (wow, what a difference maker) and Jalen McMillan who had a 19-yard catch right off the bat, it seems the offense has new life.
At least the offense appeared dangerous for a change. And Devin Culp even proved that yes, a tight end can actually catch a touchdown. Imagine that.
But now with the offense apparently rounding into form with the cavalry arriving, it’s up to the defense to hold up their end of the bargain.
Can defensive-minded Bucs coach Todd Bowles find a way, somehow, to squeeze two more wins out of the defense to get to the playoffs?
