The Bucs scored late in the 1st half to take the lead and momentum then rolled in the 2nd half to a 41-17 win over the Carolina Panthers Sunday at Raymond James. The win gives Tampa a franchise record 13 on the year and thanks to the 49ers OT win, the #2 seed in the NFC Playoffs. Mike Evans scored two TDs, Rob Gronkowski had a huge day and the new running back tandem of Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Le'Veon Bell both scored and made plays all day. The defense continues to play well and build depth while gaining back starters at all levels. The playoffs start Sunday at 1 pm when the #7 seed Philadelphia Eagles visit Tampa.

Bucs fans have had Tom Brady in Tampa for almost 2 full seasons. Sunday they got a reminder why he is the best in the history of the sport. #12 hit Cyril Grayson for a long TD with 15 seconds left to complete a rally from a 14 pt 4th Quarter deficit and win 28-24 in New Jersey.  The defense held up despite missing several key stars and started the comeback with a huge 4th down stop. Tampa is now the #3 seed in the NFC and can move up (or down) Sunday, so the team will play to win in the extended week 18/Game 17 scenario. #LFG

Happy New Year from Beav's World. The Bucs close out the road portion of the regular season today in NJ as they face a woeful NY Jets club. The Bucs are getting Mike Evans back and have their top 6 defensive backs back for the 1st time since THE SUPER BOWL. Simply put, this is an attitude game: The Jets stink and are going nowhere. The Bucs have bigger fish to fry and should pound this team into the ground. #LFG

The NFL stretch drive continues. Wins can mean playoff seeds while losses better draft positioning. Teams are separating from the pack (Kansas City and Dallas) while others have big decisions to make at QB (Cleveland and Pittsburgh). The final 2 weekends should be interesting as we enter 2022.

The Tampa defense showed up big time and the offense took shape with new additions and returning veterans as the Bucs rolled the Panthers 32-6 in Carolina Sunday. The front 7 was dominant and sacked Panther's QBs 7 times while Jordan Whitehead was blowing up players all over. Offensively, Antonio Brown slotted right in and was the lead dog in the receiver room. Ronald Jones and Ke'shawn Vaughn totted the rock and made plays all day. The win puts the Super Bowl Champs at 11-4 and secures the first NFC South Title since 2007. The Bucs continue to look to improve their playoff seed in the final 2 weeks of the regular season while still maintaining the health and safety of the roster.

Happy Holidays from Beav's World. The Bucs hope to return to winning ways this Sunday as they travel to Charlotte to face the Panthers. Carolina has a very good defense and Tampa comes in  wounded and injured. 4 players hit IR this week and two other starters including Mike Evans are out.  Ronald Jones takes over the lead back job and had good #s vs this team last season. Tom Brady and the OL will look to rebound after last weeks tough outing. #LFG
