Saints have been winning with defense for years now. Brees is a dink and dunk game manager at this point but they have an excellent scheme and defense.
Ironically you mention Rivers when he and Winston have had the same problem recently. Both are volume passers who keep missing the playoffs because they lose a ton of close games with kicking game fails and the like. If the Bucs had a dominant run game led by LDT and had a reliable kicker they'd be in the playoffs every year easily.
Rivers is old and washed. Rivers in his prime had no problem making the playoffs. And no, the Bucs are a mess, they would not be routinely in the playoffs.
