15. team. 48. <p>It has been a long season for the Buccaneers, but who would have guessed at the beginning of the year that Jameis Winston would not only be winning games on his own but wining games that get the Bucs in the playoff picture. Right now, the Bucs are the first team out of the NFC postseason, and a win against the Panthers next weekend would mean more than any other win this season.</p> <p>Tampa Bay has a legitimate shot to get the last Wild Card spot and that has everything to do with how Jameis has developed as a quarterback. He’s still far from perfect but he’s looking much better this early on than we thought he’d end up being in his rookie year.</p> <p>The main issue for the Buccaneers are the teams ahead of them. The Seattle Seahawks currently hold the sixth and final spot in the NFC playoffs and have a great shot of getting to at least 10 wins. Tampa’s best bet might be leapfrogging the Minnesota Vikings, who have a brutal stretch ahead.</p>. (6-6). Previous: . Tampa Bay Buccaneers
