Playoff wins would be nice.
Joe fully understands how, for a fan base, the thoughts of a division title not only grow stale but aggravating.
In 2026, winning the NFC South landfill is nothing more than saying you’re the best of a bunch of bad teams. As a famous TV curmudgeon famously said a long time ago, “Whoop-tee-do.”
For owners, suits, coaches and maybe even some players, Joe knows a division title means something more. Especially for owners because that guarantees a home game and all the revenue that comes with it.
And for their employees, a happy boss is a happy work life.
A division title for fans is nothing more than a stepping stone to bigger and better things. A division title, after a while, starts to morph into failure.
For Raymond Summerlin of _Sharp Football Analysis_, he wonders if the Bucs really [are anything more](https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/nfl-power-rankings/) than the best of a few bad teams.
> The Bucs will hope for better from a healthy Baker Mayfield, and they are likely the best team in the NFC South. The question is: Can they be more than that?
As many times as the Bucs have been in the playoffs, the Bucs have won just one playoff game since KitKat-eating Bucs coach Todd Bowles took over. Even if the Bucs win the division this season but get bounced right away, again, Joe wonders if Team Glazer will start running out of patience?
Remember, the Bucs once had a beloved coach who guided the team out of the dark ages to become an annual playoff team. But even then, with a popular coach, Team Glazer eventually ran out of patience after too many one-and-dones.
