OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[Deus Irae]

Kudos to the Bucs' offensive line tonight -- Tom Brady threw 50 passes vs. Cowboys and had zero sacks, and Cowboys had zero tackles for loss in 64 offensive plays for Tampa Bay. A few penalties, but otherwise a strong season debut there.

heart attack ending. Brady is clutch. I think Bellichick will have his number though when they come to town.He knows Brady’s weaknesses more than anybody.

His weakness is that if you have a **** ton of talent in at least 2 of the 3 levels of defense you can sometimes, but not often, beat him.

Bucs have a great chance to repeat if their secondary holds up. If the secondary is injured then there will be a lot of shootouts

 

[Deus Irae]

The Brady-Gronk magic was working quite nicely tonight

Video: Bruce Arians’ opening comments tonight, saying you don’t learn anything more from losing than you do from almost losing:

 

[Deus Irae]

"We can't have those stupid-ass turnovers and beat anybody," Bruce Arians just said to @BucSidelineGuy on the Bucs radio broadcast, adding that he "was not real happy about anything."

 

[Deus Irae]

The Bucs did everything wrong, and still beat the Cowboys

With 1:24 left, @TomBrady knew.

Bucs 31, Cowboys 29: Studs, duds from Tampa Bay's Week 1 win

Tom Brady now has 49 game winning drives.

Is he now ahead of Peyton?

This is my biggest take away - secondary and skill guys puked all over themselves, 4 TOs, crap load of penalities and they still won and would have won most likely by 2 scores if Godwin does not do that stupid spin move near the goal line with under 5 minutes to play.

The offense is smoking and yet still lots of room for improvement especially once Gio is fully incorporated.

Dallas is a really good team. Their receiving corp may be only second to the Bucs in the NFC.

I know it’s just the stat sheet but the two interceptions really piss me off.

Between those, the Godwin fumble, and the Godwin drop, you’re looking at maybe 5 TD/0 INT and over 400 yards.

 

[amfootball]

Brady and Gronk at 100 TDs. Record is 114 by Peyton/Harrison.

 

[Zarozzor]

All I know is that I want the ball going to Gronk or Brown in situations where they absolutely need a play. It seems Godwin has the Gostkowski yips since the Washington playoff game.

TommyBrady got triggered when I said a hail mary int by a qb is just luck and shouldn’t count

Just shows how football stats are still in the stone age compared to something like baseball. Brady finished with a 97 passer rating that would have been around 130 if not for two interceptions that weren't his fault. I cringe every single time he checks it down to Fournette.

I'm trying to figure out how the Bucs receivers with their size let someone intercept a hail mary in the first place LOL.

The only defensive player better than Vita Vea is Donald and Brady needs to feed AB before Evans and Godwin

Ya I have no faith in Godwin AB/Gronk need to be fed Evans as well
