After the fake card fiasco I doubt they bring him back.

I mean if there that dumb than I guess so on the other hand you can have a top WR for cheap

It's all about production.
If AB plays like he did at the beginning of the season (and he was not only playing well but he was outplaying Godwin and Evans), he'll be back. And because of his antics, he'll still be at a discount at probably between 5 and 10mil.

JPP needs to do the right thing and tell the coaches to bench him for Tryon the coaches are stupid JPP is below average at this point and Tryon can play

Probably even less than that people act like he did some god awful thing

What if he plays amazing down the stretch into the playoffs? That's probably AB haters worst nightmare!

Yeah, and as we have seen with Arians offense, there isn't much creativity. It works with talented receivers creating their own separation. Without the horses to make it work, the whole system comes crashing down.

The system needs several talented receivers. They lost 4 against NO and was only left with Gronk. The more I think of it, I can’t fault Gronk and Brady for that matter for their performance.

Gronk was clearly playing like he was terrified at getting hurt which I 100% support him on.

Gronk playing in self preservation mode tells me he plans on playing next year. I wonder if the coaches told him to watch himself.

Arians usually like to rip guys for poor performances. He ripped the other scrub receivers and the kickers, but has surprisingly gone easy on Gronk and Brady.

Know what sucks? For actual life long Bucs fans, not us Brady fanboys, the game this past weekend was almost definitely THE biggest home game for the franchise since their home divisional win in the 2002 season. Last year they had no to little fans in the stands and before that they’ve been just trash beside one fools gold year in 2007. But having browsed the Bucs Reddit they were beyond hyped for this game. The Saints are to them like the Pats are to the Bills. To be at home, on Sunday Night (they never ever usually have prime time games) playing the depleted despised Saints to literally clinch the Division? That was an incredibly expensive ticket and the crowd looked essentially 100% Bucs fans, no away fan people which never happens in that stadium. And they were absolutely rocking.

Only to see that.

I think every playoff game last year especially the super bowl were more important to Tampa fans than last Sunday's game. I mean they are still going to win the division.

They did not play a single home playoff game last year unless you count the Super Bowl which you can’t because the tickets aren’t issued to Bucs fans.

I am talking about how this game was the biggest home game fan experience for Bucs fans in 20 years. The only thing that could be compared is of course the season opener.

Yeah. I'm sure it was a real bummer for them. But they should hopefully clinch it this Sunday. And that's what really matters. I don't believe they've won the division since 2007.

Bucs are signing Leveon Bell pending a physical.

That's actually a decent signing given Bell can catch

I just heard it was an ankle injury.

Whatever it is he's done until the playoffs. Two key guys and a hobbled Evans

 

[VectorPrime]

Ughh that’s not a good sign for Fournette. Hopefully it represents just needing an arguably functioning body to backup Jones for the final few games prior to the playoffs and not something even longer term. Fournette has 4 weeks before the wild card round. And if by some miracle from God the Packers meltdown and drop 2 games so that the Bucs get the bye you can add another week of rest.

I think I would prefer a hammy over an ankle unless it’s a low ankle.
