Real men don’t need to conform to stereotypes and align their masculinity with what they drink.

It is very bizarre that the NYG would be so compelling. They stink. I don’t even care about « the path to the NFCE ». That division is the 2020 of the NFL : a dumpster fire.

You foo foo drink drinker you.

They already killed GB this season. I think their biggest issues are their Jekyll & Hyde defense and their head coach. I think Arians is completely in over his head. Reminds me a lot of Rex Ryan. He's just a clown. I have a hard time imagining them winning a SuperBowl with him at the helm. As for the Saints, they seem to own Tampa. Those were two dominant wins. I would love to be proven wrong, but I don't see Tampa beating them. Hopefully somebody else takes them out

Agree, best chance for TB going deep is for someone to knock out the Saints. I actually think they'll choke again and be one and done. They are all about trick/gadget plays and YAC and I think their playoff opponent will be ready for it.

If the TB coaches come up with a good game plan, it will be an easy win against their NFC east opponent. It's hard to predict though as Tb coaches have more often than not have had bad game plans thus so many slow starts.

That 0-19 streak involved a lot of bad luck, as well as bad calls from coaches, bad routes from receivers, and some off throws from Tom.

What is unbelievable is that he was hitting it at an MVP rate before and after.

Jets didnt play the Packers in '69- they beat the Baltimore Colts in the SB.
I'm old too- but damn, bro- you REALLY old and so is @1960Pats since he liked your post. Both of your memories are shot.
Dont know how you could forget this- other than any Patriots SB, it remains the most important SB to any Pats fan who goes back to the AFL. And the only time in history we ALL rooted for the Jets.

Unfortunately, I forget a lot.. the point was once I knew the AFL was the real deal, I switched alliance from Cleveland to the Patriots..

Weeks 8-11
Giants (16th pass defense)
Panthers (17th)
Saints (5th)
Rams (1st)

Weeks 12-16
Chiefs (15th)
Vikings (24th)
Falcons (30th)
Lions (31st)

I wouldn't call doing what you are supposed to against bottom of the league bad pass defenses peaking.

And 1st round against either Washington or NYG might be another struggle for him. Washington is top 5 against the pass and NYG already had Brady flustered this year and were a failed 2 point conv. from taking them to OT.

Would be classic. Buffalo or Pittsburgh go through only for TB12 to still be their daddy.

How many points and how well Mahomes played against the 30th pass defense the week after?

you have to play all the teams on your schedule, good or bad.

you can see that offensive wise they don’t have the same approach coming out of the bye. They seems to have found a formula that works and seems to peak at the right time.

like the Patriots in 2018.

Best matchup for Brady is Giants, followed by Cowboys, and then WFT.

Funny how Tompy's improvement coincided with the cupcake portion of the schedule

Good research. In my opinion, Tampa is still the ultimate paper tiger until they beat a good team and the offense plays well against a good defense. I have a feeling they’ll face plant in the postseason because that’s been their identity this season.

That said, I’m optimistic about the offense. It isn’t because of their points/yards totals the last few weeks. Even in some games where they scored 30/40 points this year against bad teams, I still thought the offense was disappointing in their approach, personnel choices, etc.

I’m optimistic because Brady seems so much more comfortable with the routes and is on the same page with Evans, Godwin, and Brate. The ball is coming put quicker and it’s smoother. They have finally been able to establish a rhythm, which they hadn’t done all season.

 

[PP2]

Streaming link for this game?

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Yeah...putting a linebacker on Godwin won’t work out well. Tampa starting to figure put how to create some huge mismatches. That’s why AB‘s numbers don’t begin to measure his impact.

Evans season is over

 

[TheRainMaker]

Tom loves playing in meaningless games and this is what happens. Lost Evans. SMDH.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Evans was reportedly carted into the lockerroom once he got in the tunnel and was in serious pain. Should not be an issue for Tampa against whatever crap NCFE team they play next week, but may be a problem after that

Yes I AM an ignorant, moronic, idiotic bigmouth know nothing and I deserve to be punched in my mouth repeatedly...

This isn't really about Tom. Evans would have played any way to get to 1000 yards. He had it on the play just before

Looks to be an hyperextension. He could be back for the divisional round if it's not too severe
