For the first time in four seasons, the Bucs have failed to win the NFC South. For the first time in five seasons, the Bucs will not be in the postseason.

To the shock of no one, the Buccaneers couldn’t rely on the Saints to win. In defense of them, I might’ve played better at wideout than #81. Tyler Shough tried to drag them kicking and screaming to a win.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were eliminated from the playoffs after the Atlanta Falcons pulled off a 19-17 Week 18 win over the New Orleans Saints, even though the team beat the Carolina Panthers 16-14 in the regular season finale.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended their four-game losing streak with a win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in a rain-soaked Raymond James Stadium. While
Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did their part, now they’ll have to watch and wait. On a rainy Saturday night, Mayfield threw a touchdown pass to Cade Otton and Chase McLaughlin kicked three field goals as the Buccaneers survived a sloppy 16–14 win over the Carolina Panthers to keep their postseason hopes alive.
Many times, players have an impact on a game without ever showing up on the stat sheet. In Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles’ opinion, that was the practice squad wide receiver Garrett Greene who played Panthers quarterback Bryce Young during practice.
Each week following every Bucs game, Pewter Report will take a close look at the snap count distribution for Tampa Bay on offense and defense. We’ll assess what we can learn from who played the most and least in the game.
