The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won their first playoff game since they won the Super Bowl against the Raiders in the early 2000s and none of it matters as they get ready for the Saints.
With the edition of quarterback Tom Brady, the feeling around Tampa Bay quickly shifted to a Super Bowl or bust type of mentality. This means that an impressive game against the Washington Football game means nothing.
James Yarcho and David Harrison, the hosts on the daily Locked On Bucs podcast, discussed the postseason mentality for this Bucs team as they enter into an NFC South showdown with the Saints in the divisional round.
Yarcho: As far as being worried for next week, this week is not going to carry into next week other than lessons learned. It is a totally different team. You know the Buccaneers are going to be a different team in the divisional round than they were in the wildcard round. When they play the Saints, that team is going to be a different team than the one from this weekend as well, so I try to not carry too much from one game to the next. But you do have Devin White coming back. You do have McClendon coming back. So there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the divisional round and a lot of the players and I am sure Coach Arians is echoing the same thing. You just want to go 1-0 every week. After Monday, or starting Monday, you are back to 0-0 and it does not matter what happened the weekend before that, you need to go 1-0 this week. That is where the Buccaneers are going to be.
