00:00put a bow on the Buccaneers here.

00:02Look, I don't think the Bucky Irving injury

00:05really cost them anything.

00:06I really don't think the Mike Evans injury

00:08in particular, Vinny, cost them a lot.

00:09It just seems like the Bucs now

00:12may have a major issue on their hands

00:14if they don't have Baker Mayfield

00:15because that is not somebody that they can replace

00:17with all due respect to Teddy Bridgewater.

00:19I guess we'll have to wait and see, Vinny,

00:21but if this is like a separated shoulder

00:22or some sort of dislocation,

00:24I think Baker's had this issue in the past, by the way, too.

00:28We're looking at multiple weeks.

00:29The Bucs could be on the outside

00:30looking into the playoffs.

00:33Yeah, fortunately, they play in the NFC South

00:35and the Panthers are going to have to go

00:37and get this division.

00:39The Falcons might be able to rally here

00:41with Kirk Cousins.

00:42He knows with the way things are going in this division,

00:45but it's going to be a very weak division champion.

00:48I mean, based on just the injuries

00:50the Buccaneers have, the Panthers,

00:52look, they are impressive in their wins,

00:54but they're really bad in their losses

00:56and they get the 49ers.

00:57That's not going to be easy to try to take advantage

01:00of the Bucs loss and get in the first place.

01:02So that division is wide open in the worst way possible.

01:05It's going to be a team that's going to probably

01:07limp into the playoffs at four.

01:10You're going to face a very strong wildcard team, right?

01:13I mean, the records in the NFC are inflated.

01:16You probably will see a team that doesn't win the NFC West,

01:20and that team is going to be favored in that game

01:22no matter what.

01:23So when you look at this, I mean,

01:26this is maybe where you change

01:27the home field advantage stuff a little bit.

01:29Maybe you could put that into play

01:31for the AFC North as well.

01:33But yeah, someone's going to have to win that division.

01:35I still think the Bucs are the favorite

01:37because they have the lead.

01:39And can we really trust the Panthers or Falcons

01:41down the stretch?

01:42I don't think so.

01:43I don't think so.
