It’s wise to pick the Lions, but the Bucs are playing with house money.

And that Detroit defense can be had, they are far from great defensively but they play hard as fukk. Just gotta keep Hutchinson in check

But like you said scoring with them is a tall task

Mike Evans and Chris Godwin should be able to get whatever they want against the Lions' corners.

But I don't like Tampa against Detroit's front seven. Hutch is on fire, McNeil is a quietly outstanding DT and generally that whole defense plays beyond its talent level (despite its weaknesses). The big thing really is that Philly had no desire or want to be in that Wild Card game, and Tampa rightfully dogwalked them even though Philly has several chances to get back in it. Detroit fights you to the end, has an elite offensive playcaller/scheme and has a play in the bag for most any possible situation.

Bucs absolutely have a chance, though. They need a few things to go right along with exploiting key matchups.

Baker is a UFA and has missed out on big money compared to his cohorts.

He's not gonna give y'all no damn discount. :mjlol:

Y'all are beholden to this guy. :hubie:

Improve the offensive line and the window can stay open as long as Evans, David, Wirfs and AWJ get re-signed.

I think Baker is capable of being a QB on a winning team, but there are obviously better options.
Need a better running game, and help out that O-line.

Baker can def be a guy to take this team to another deep playoff run

Can't knock the effort, but there's a reason why this team finished 10-9

Inconsistencies on both sides of the ball killed this team all year man
This team needs a #1 EDGE, a center (FA or draft), another guard, and a CB in the top 2 or 3 rounds and then we are legit contenders

Give Mike, AWJ, Wirfs the money, bring back Lavonte for 1 more run if he wants. Everybody else can go

They aren’t far away but the QB and head coach will likely limit the Super Bowl ceiling

A deep playoff run as in win 1 playoff game. I can only go by what I’ve seen from him.
3 years, 100 million

But I'm good with letting him walk tbh
Yeah i’m cool with that. Also don’t mind drafting a guy and start a true rebuild
Bakers got an argument as a top 10 QB. You aren't finding those laying around in this league in FA often
He has as an argument but he clearly isn’t a top 10 guy. At least his ceiling isn’t. He might’ve been top 10 this year based off the amount of QB injuries this season

Baker is a top 12-18 type guy.
