Today’s Panthers-Bucs game is crazy important, historically teams often see a bump post firing their coach and the Bucs are not good. There’s a bit of a buffer where the Panthers can win one game and still give us the first overall but they have a piss easy schedule and I don’t see any chance the Patriots win another game.
The Panthers as well are pretty committed to Bryce Young while I’ve never seen a qb shitshow as bad as the Mac/Zappe situation in NE right now.
If it wasn’t obvious when they shanked a game tying 35 yard kick last week, the Pats are tanking. They are choosing to lose games. They are playing for the top pick.
