Chiefs fans are New Money who won the lottery or something and then blew it all on bad investments that their shady cousins recommended.

He's not wrong. Lol

Pissed at him calling him "Honey-bit_cher" 40 pages of it lol

He just stops on a dime as the pass rusher spins through...then resets in less than a second and rifles a perfect 20-yard yard throw in there. Ridiculous pass. How does a play like this not get discussed more?

He's just a pocket passer, after all.

Orlovsky's giving him some love here:

No one doing it better-no one has. This nuance by @TomBrady is perfection

Which game is rated higher in Boston today, Pats or Tampa? Both play the late game opposite each other.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

I don’t recall this when it happened…look at the picture and zoom in on the faces in the crowd. Damn.

Looks like Gronk isn't a lock to play. No Gronk or AB perhaps but if the RBs play well it shouldn't matter. I wonder what the deal is for him to be considered a game time decision? If the ribs aren't healed he shouldn't be considered anything. Pain management with no needle to help?

Let’s be real, it’s not like the team is 2-5 the Pats will lead by a mile.

Wonder if it’s the idea that if there’s pain, there’s still injury, and they have a bye week after this. And then a few tomato can opponents.

It must be something like that but this is a big game. Lose this and sit next week while NO wins against a bad team and they take the division lead.

I actually don’t hate that scenario. Before the season, I had Tampa losing to either the Rams or Patriots, and then one against the Saints (likely this one) and then one more, perhaps to Buffalo. I think 14-3 still gets the #1 seed, though they very well could run the table for 15-2, and there’s no way the Saints finish with a better overall record. Tampa falling behind in the division pushes them further under the radar and sets them up for a “no respect” type of deal as the media slobbers over other teams. I want them to win today, obviously, but I think they’ll be fine if they lose, too, because this is one of the few games where losing is a very realistic thing. Injuries are the only thing that can derail them.

Ya I agree that over 17 games the Saints won't match their record but lose today and the rematch in TB becomes the Saints SB. Should they sweep and the Bucs lose one more they could have to play 2 games on the road in the playoffs. What they did last year is almost impossible. On the road for 3 games.

True - a loss today puts the margin of error close to zero going forward.

Did I mention I despise the 7-team/1-bye format? Lol.

 

[VectorPrime]

I do not think the Bucs can afford to lose more than one more game and get the 1 seed. So this is a must win in my mind.

You think the rams or packers are going 15-2? Cards might be without the QB for 3 weeks and even if he does play he won't be able to run well. I think anyone goes 15-2 they will win the conference outright but 14-3 will require tie breakers. Will be very interesting.

 

[Deus Irae]

Final word on TE. Rob Gronkowski He will play today barring any setbacks in pregame warmups but will be used situationally by Bruce Arians. Don’t expect a full workload but could be a factor in the red zone, third down etc.

Awesome!
