Bucs or Rams

While I always want to root agains the Rams I also don’t like TB (team or player). So who do we root for. If Rams knock off TB then technically they are in lead in division. We do still have another game with them so we kind of control our destiny there. What say you all?

Always worry about the division first.

Always.

Especially since we lost to them already.

Agreed.

The Bucs only have one tough game left after Monday.

The Rams still have 4 tough games.

Probably should root for the Rams, as they aren't going to be vying for the NFCW title.

It will be the Hawks and Cards coming down to the wire.

Agreed. Everything to win the division 1st. Everything else is gravy. I'll be rooting for the Bucs.

That's easy. Bucs all the way.

Here's how i put it:

If we take care of business through the end of the season, we are going to be in a better football universe than 85% of the fans out there. We've had a better decade than 98% of fans out there. Either way, it's all good, it's 2 crucial opponents going at it. Personally, I want the Rams to win. We still play them so if we want to even out with them on the head to head we can, and we have an easier schedule moving forward. They still have the cards twice and i think that's 2 L's right there.

Anything that sinks the bucs and brady right now, I'll take it when i can get it.

I was tempted by the tie, but couldn't help myself from hoping the Rams go down. We'll deal with the Bucs when we have to.

Was hoping the Colts might help us out but the Pack is snuffing them all of a sudden.

if the Bucs win is there possibility of see them in post season ? I want a push tonite . We have to play the Lambs again anyway . I want both to lose .

I'd like the Bucs to win but think the Rams will.

Tampa of course. We need any threat in our division to lose. That would be the Rams and Cardinals. Is there really any question about that? We need to win our division period. Hopefully the #1 seed follows but winning the division is mandatory.

Go Bucs!

I would rather play the Bucs who don't know us as well and beat them and get a certain level of satisfaction out of beating Arians and Brady, Arians does know us pretty well but not as well as the Rams and they don't have Donald.

It's kind of a win win.

Bucs beat Rams better for division.

Rams beat Bucs and Seattle still can control division and knock TB back who they have no control over.

Both teams will make the playoffs. I'd rather TB win.

While I'd love a shot at the 1 seed, I think that may be a stretch. Winning the division though, and getting a 2 seed is definitely within our grasp. Go Bucs!

Division first, always. Go Bucs

Ditto. Donald will make Brady's life a living h###.

Hate to admit it, but I think the Rams win too. Gross.....

Oddly enough, Tampa Bay really doesn't figure heavily into the final seeding equation for the Hawks. The chances of them getting the 1 seed is very marginal.

Everything for the Hawks comes down to our week 16 matchup with the Rams.

Tonight's matchup likely doesn't matter either way. If the Hawks win out, they are probably getting the one seed, and definitely getting the West. They may end up with the 2 seed in a 3-way tie with NO at 1 and GB at 3. Everything depends on how those three teams fare in week 16.

If the Hawks lose to the Rams again, then it is probably better that the Rams win tonight, that would likely give us the 5 seed going to play in Philadelphia for the WC round, and GB for the divisional, while a TB win gives us the 3 seed hosting AZ, and likely the Rams in the divisional. I don't like our chances of beating Zona twice this year, and 3 losses to the Rams is not unlikely.

All that to say, it is really too early to know. A Rams loss gives us a little more cushion in the West, but in a year with only one bye, and no clear home field advantage, seeding isn't nearly as important as likely matchups. Winning the west, only to face two teams from the west, isn't really an advantage.

Very rarely would you not want a division rival to lose in these sorts of matchups.

Rams barely have a tougher schedule than us, so it's not like they're going away down the stretch. IMO this is a no brainer. Rams.
