OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[Guts]

Bucs just won 3 straight games in 12 days and get a mini bye. Great win all things considered

 

[Deus Irae]

Here's how amazingly balanced the Bucs' passing game is -- after tonight's win, Mike Evans has 420 yards receiving yards, Antonio Brown has 418 and Chris Godwin has 409. All on pace for more than 1,100 receiving yards.

 

[Deus Irae]

Brady seemed to go out of his way to check down to safer throws in the second half -- his completions were for 5, 4, 4, 9, 15, 0, 8, 5, 4, 8, 10 and 2 yards before the crucial 27-yard pass to Antonio Brown.

Aikman loves Tommy

People actually debate if Antonio Brown is a hall of famer

 

[amfootball]

Have you noticed how bitter Bradshaw, Montana, and Aikman have become toward Brady?

He reduced all of their careers to a footnote. Lol

he is the BUCs best receiver and IMO it’s not close. Best feet I have ever seen. If Brady and Brown together for years their stats would’ve been even further through the roof.

what aikman said today is spot on - patriots held him back for years with weapons. Clutch parts no doubt

 

[stcjones]

Aikman was embarrassing with his open rooting for the Eagles all game.
Count him in the bitter pit with Montana.

Aikman was insufferable in this game…..also loved to keep hammering that Brady was so happy to be out of New England because now he has all these shiny weapons. I think what makes Brady the GOAT more than anything is that he won 6 SBs WITHOUT Elite Personnel but helped GOOD to Great WR elevate their game. Aikman is a jealous doosh

 

[stcjones]

There were a lot of short stuff and screens today...maybe the deep passes weren't there tonight

Brady had injury on throwing hand from all reports….throws were way off a lot

His throws looked fine to me. The Eagles took away the deep stuff and apparently erased Evans and Godwin. The way Godwins season is going he may not get his big pay day.
Great to see Howard breakout. He was their best receiver after AB.

It was short stuff all game long. Godwin had 5 catches on 5 targets for 45 yds. It’s fine. I mean AB had « only » 66 yds before the clinching 27 yds rec. they are all 3 still on par for 1000+ yds this year even on 16 games. Godwin will be fine.

Bucs becoming a respectable franchise. Do they still have the worst win-loss ratio for a sports franchise in the 4 N.AMERICAN professional sports league?

They're still the worst in football... by a large margin.

That is the big difference IMO between the Bucs this year vs last year. They can go physical and run and have a great short game. We saw that vs the Pats in the second half.

That is what is great about Brady and a stark difference with Mahomes. Brady is fine doing a 12 play drive compromised of runs and short passes to get the TD. The time of possession was ridiculous because Tampa had 4 methodical TDs drives and the drive at the end of the game to seal it.

This offense has come a long way. Gronk should be back for the Bears.

1 more win to 18-1 to match the 2007 team. I don't think people have realized just how good the Bucs have been.

The Rams loss was good to get out of the way the hype and pressure of a perfect season.
