OT: Official 2020 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[SHOWTIME15]

sounds like you want them to lose. They have Tom Brady, he is the most clutch athlete in history. He will lead them to revenge victories in the playoffs

Rams...LOL they lost to the jets!

She's just pointing to the facts. Brady hasn't beaten a contender in the past 2 years other than GB. What makes you so sure he'll go on a revenge tour all of a sudden? Beating an Atlanta team without Julio Jones doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence...

People don't want to believe this because these guys are pros, but the Super Bowl loss destroyed them. Psychologically. It was all doom after that. Oh but they're pros! The psychology of an athlete is an interesting thing. And a pro athlete is even more interesting. Any Red Sox fan who watched '86 and '03 knows those losses were all psychological losses.

Except the Red Sox followed up 2003 with a pretty impressive season.... so to have a loss hurt your team for years doesn’t always happen...

The Bucs can still win the NFC South if they win out and the Saints lose out! That's pretty unlikely but still possible! The Bucs finishing with the 5th is the easiest path to the Divisional round of the playoffs with a NFC Championship berth on the line! They'll play @ whoever wins the NFC East on Wildcard Weekend!

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

Bucs still in play for the 5th seed. All they need to do is win out. I think they can win a playoff game. After that nothing’s a given. Still see many inconsistencies. Slow starts and the defense plays very soft. They need to adjust offensively more as well defensively. Crazy thing is that their run defense is still pretty good yet they can’t stop the pass.

I couldn't agree more! ************! That team has potential to be super scary if they can play a great 4 quarters!

Bills made the playoffs last year

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Ideally we’ll get a bridge QB better than Newton and a better prospect than Stidham.

Bill should get the best available QB - period. Not get cute and try to prove he’s the smartest guy in the room and think he can coach up some 4th or 5th round scrub who wouldn’t make any other roster to stardom. That is my main issue with Bill. It’s that attitude that made Spygate happen.

Do it right and don’t screw around this time.

We have a moron on staff who thought the best QB available was Tim Tebow in the first round. So no, I'd rather we avoid drafting offensive skill players like the plague in the first 2 picks.

Disagree.

NFC East winner will be Washington or NYG. Both teams with top 10 defenses and WAS pass rush is scary.

True. However both teams have very mediocre offenses! I just watched the Browns beat the Giants pretty easy @ Met Life Stadium!

Bucs can beat anybody. It’s only a matter of how these coaches adjust. Can Bucs pass defense get a couple of stops? Nobody in the NFC is unbeatable. We have seen this already. Bucs would not lose to any of those NFC east teams. Two games remaining to try and get some momentum. Those slow starts need to go though.

 

[carmelo15]

Everytime they do Bruce Arians stuff, they are horrible and when they switch to NE stuff they are very good.

the second half was basically typical NE stuff. A lot of WR screens, short stuff.

whenever they do the NE stuff I’m almost positive they’ve got points like 90% of the time

 

[carmelo15]

The Jets win was bug for Tampa if they can get the 5th seed now they can possibly play Washington than most likely Seattle. They could avoid NO in the playoffs in this scenario and that’s the only team I think they lose too

 

[carmelo15]

You're dealing with Brady fanboys here. Most of them, it would seem, were born after 1990 and don't know anything about Patriots football other than Brady. So when things don't go their way they get bitter and start blaming Bill. And it's the same morons too, every time.

And what do you call someone who calls the GOAT a system player

Dumb is what I call them. All players are system players

Tommy, this is the same poster that was calling Brady "noodle arm" last year and wanted him to retire.

Rams...LOL they lost to the jets!

The only team I root for is New England, not going to pull for any team other than the Pats.

The Rams did lose to the Jets, crazy, but they did beat the Bucs. I have read the posts and I agree that the NFC is more wide open than the AFC where clearly I think the best team is KC. The NFC, from what I've seen has NO, LA, Seattle, Tampa, GB...and I think NO is probably the best all around team but we'll see. I also think going to GB wouldn't be easy for teams, especially if you get a 10degree day.

Is Dallas in the mix too? I saw Philly, Washington and NYG lost and the Cowboys won, but not sure what to make of that division other than there are no very good teams in it.

 

[Doctor DDS]

Brady in the 2nd half yesterday was incredible. His pocket awareness was on full display as he regularly sidestepped pressure to find an open man. Deep passes to Brown and Evans were perfect and he narrowly missed 2 more TD passes by them being downed at the 1. Over 300 yards passing and 31 points in 2nd half despite the team averaging under 3 yards a carry. It was a pleasure to watch and reinforced the Pats need to find a QB that can throw the ball.

That division is like buying "nice" clothes at Wal-Mart.

There is stuff there but once you look at it's dog poop

 

[borg]

Bucs can beat anybody.

The Saints defense owns Tampa.
Watching NO vs KC yesterday, the Saints defense dominated coverage and swarmed the QB......but Mahomes has escapability
Tompa doesn't escape pockets.
The Saints main issue is getting Thomas off the IR in time
