OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

Can't wait to see how that hack Tannenbaum rates QBs this week with Brady's top performance and avg to poor performances from the other QBs.

I hate the word "trap game" because I don't believe they exist. And I think it's more about the media and fans being overconfident than the players being overconfident.

But I expect there will a pretty ridiculous amount of picks coming this week for the Bucs to beat the Bills. The Bills are still probably a top 5 overall squad and are stronger than their win/loss record. In addition, I don't necessarily think they're just going to emotionally collapse. In fact, if they beat the Bucs, they're again playing the Patriots for the division, making that last loss much less relevant.

So, I think the Bucs are better and should win the game, but it's one of those where the teams are fairly close but the media perception coming in is that one has gained all this momentum and the other is entering free fall mode. I expect a competitive game.

The only thing disappointing from last night's game is that little info was gained about the Bills secondary without White.

The line is at -3 so they do expect a close game. Bucs secondary is a liability. Probably a shoot out.

Sean Payton tried to trade up for Patrick Mahomes but got leapfrogged by the Chiefs.
He tried to trade up for Mac Jones but got **** blocked by the Jets.

It would be in many teams best interest to know who he likes in the draft.

It would also be in Payton's best interest to make sure he jumps up high enough to get that QB.

Both the Colts and Patriots used their running game to take down the Bills. I hope Tampa was paying attention to that.

The Pats and colts best attribute is th run game. They probably take a lot of teams down that way.

He is the worst, I have trashed him on his twitter when he runs that stupid list.

I think it would be a mistake to try and replicate what either of those teams did in terms of carry. Fournette up the middle for a loss on 1st down won't do it.

I'm seeing a lot of the Brady system QB or talk like it coming up again on Twitter after last night. Even after the way last season ended.

I thought this BS was put to bed for good but apparently not. SMH

It's probably Peyton with a bunch of burner accounts.

You’re a fool everyone knows it’s beating Buffalo > winning a Super Bowl with a new team and no offseason

The Patriots trotted out 6 OL 61% of the time.

Tom Brady is likely to add another NFL record to his career total on Sunday.

Brady will probably break the all-time completions record, currently held by Drew Brees, at some point during the Buccaneers’ home game against Buffalo.

Brees retired with the record of 7,142 completions in his career. Brady is currently at 7,125 career completions, so he needs 17 to tie the record and 18 to break it. Brady hasn’t been held to less than 20 completions in any game this season, so getting 18 against the Bills is a safe bet.

I can't see the Bucs doing that.

They'd be fools to trot out the exact same game plan, and run on all but 3 offensive snaps, but they'd be wise to incorporate the data. The Bills couldn't hold up against 6OL and N'Keal Harry. It's even less likely that they'd be able to hold up against 6OL and Gronk.

There used to be two greatest of all-time QBs: the statistical one and the championship one.

Now there’s only one.

TOM BRADY MIGHT BE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME, BUT AARON RODGERS IS THE BEST OF ALL TIME!

Sure…that sentiment has so much staying power. Just ask YA Tittle, Fran Tarkenton, Dan Marino, Steve Young, and Peyton Manning how long the “eye test championship” glory lasts for after retirement.

How’s that “Drew Brees is a top 5 all time QB” stuff going less than a year later?

What I like most about it is the near-seamless transitions:


Peyton may be the best ever, and he's better than Brady
Montana's the best ever, and he's better than Brady. FOUR Lombardis!
Rodgers may not have the hardware, but he's the best ever, and he's better than Brady!


Only the Mahomes glitch has interrupted the whole thing.

The Colts' win over Bills is probably the one to learn from. Big lead early, monster game from Jonathan Taylor, Wentz only had to throw 20 times. 8-for-12 on third down, dominate time of possession, grind it out.
