OT: Official 2020 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[ensoul]

Brady was okay beside those two int. The bucs D was the issue but to be fair KC is a juggernaut offense.

 

[Jangles]

Yes but Brady would be having a hissy fit about his weapons. Patriots did not even make a contract offer this year for him. I am honestly enjoying watching the 2020 Patriots better than the 2019 Patriots.

I can’t read good

apologies

 

[Foxypats]

I was hoping they would win as I am sick of KC and their smug faces, but now in reality all the Bucs will get is a wild card and we know Brady does not get to the SB unless he wins the division.

Leaving Hill alone against Davis without safety help in the first half was ridiculous

Good lord try engaging your brain a little before you post. This is a contender for dumbest thing ever posted

Better than last year?

Maybe check the record of last years team and come back and try again

If Brady had stayed they certainly wouldn’t have the same record as last year. Brady in 2019 benefited from statistically the best defense in football and a very easy schedule. This year they’re statistically the worst defense in football and a difficult schedule.

They won’t make the playoffs but I doubt they would have with Brady either if he stayed here.

Arians has coached Peyton, Carson Palmer, Big Ben, Andrew Luck, Rivers, Warner, and has won 2 coach of the year NFL awards, gone 11-5/10-6 a bunch of times. So it's pointless to try to trash Arians for Brady's issues. If anything it fuels the system-QB criticism if somehow the sentiment is Brady has issues in Arians' system while a half dozen other QBs were fine.

After that awful start, the final result was encouraging. They were projected to lose by most everyone including the writers in Bucs fan sites. The offense still has a lot of potential. Had some bad breaks here and there plus questionable play calls.

The defense was as good as can be expected. Although, with over 4 minutes left and all the timeouts, I expected TB to get one last chance. I'm just so use to seeing the NE D make a key stop over and over for the offense, that I automatically think that 4 minutes is a lot of time. I guess not for TB.

NE is better than I expected. They are 1 better QB or 1 star WR from being a playoff contender.

And despite those big name QB's, Arians has won a whopping total of ONE playoff game his entire career.

This argument is DOA.

I misread the post. My bad

Didn't even bother cheating the MOF safety over to Hill's side of the field.

Literally every other team in the NFL does that.

The Patriots defense is statistically middle of the pack in both points and yards. Not nearly as good as last year but far from bad. I was not against them moving on from Brady as they needed to reset that cap but he would have been a significant upgrade over the QB play this year and it would likely have snuck into the playoffs in my view.

Going into this game they were ranked dead last in defensive DVOA. They’ve been lousy. A bit better today though and had to overcome some shoddy officiating.

Hill IS their primary offense!! They better keep him healthy..... he had something like 269 yards tonight and 3 TD....gives Mahomes so many options....

 

[scout]

To be fair - he did in the 4th quarter.

The original post stated that Tampa would shred the Chiefs. It ended up being a close game, but still a loss.

*Brady signs with Tampa

Sentiment from logical people: Arians runs a vertical offense. Brady struggles throwing deep.

LGTBrady Community: He just needs weapons. Look at his numbers with Moss. It's gonna be 2007 all over again.

LGTBrady Community today: why is Arians running a vertical offense? He needs to be fired

Jimmy G returns to the fold next year. New England soon forgets TB12.

Missed the game. Watched the Brady lowlights on National TV. Not a good look for Tom. Another loss to a winning team on a big stage. I predict one and done. Sorry. I love TFB but its not working out in Tampa for him. Winston might have the same record?
