OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[RicoG]

The last couple weeks saw Brady's MVP bid, Belichik's coach of the year, and Mac's rookie of the year all take a hit. This weekend's games looks ripe for a bounce back.

Cousins being out for the Vikings won't help Brady's MVP run.

Brown tweaked his ankle according to the assistant HC, but has a chance to play Sunday. At this point just have him sit out for the remaining two games. Bradys MVP case is over anyways

Packers were never losing that game lets be honest.

Whatever, a ring is always better and unlike in 2015 most of the injured players are coming back.

I feel good about Tampa's postseason this year. Even with the injuries, I have much more confidence in this year's team then I did last year's team heading into the postseason. It is hard to win but when you have Tom Brady it becomes so much easier. I really hope they have another magical run in them this year.

AB shouldn’t be practicing or playing before the postseason. Jesus…just why? Obviously they’ll be lucky if he can just get through a game at this point.

 

[Tottie]

...what? Besides Godwin literally everyone seems to be coming back at the perfect time.

Ya they are coming back but that doesn't mean they are 100%. No one is but with all these guys with lingering injuries probably a few will be out each game. You will have LD, JPP, Lenny, Evans, AB, Winfield just to name a few. Is Gronk good to go or did he just have a few bad games? Lots of **** going on. Is Bernard ready? 2 other guys with concussions? 6 more games to make the SB and I don't think they can stay healthy.

Goodwin says Shaq Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul have been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Jets. Everyone else is still possible to play.

Very interesting. I think you better hope AB hangs in there because without him and Lenny it's going to be tough. Both could be playing on 1 leg come playoff time and Evans is easy to take away should he be the only real threat. He's hurt too and from previous games we've seen, he doesn't run well hurt and his effort is less than usual.

Goodwin says Antonio Brown "tweaked" his ankle a little in practice this week but is still possible to play this week. They'll decide how he feels Sunday and go from there.

It's not just the injuries though. The team has played so much better this year than it did last year especially the offense. With the secondary finally healthy, I feel good about this team being able to compete with any other team in its path much more than I did last year. Doesn't mean they will win it all by any means as it is just so hard to do but when you have Brady at QB it always feels possible.

Brady’s having fun

 

[amfootball]

Brady really does seem at such ease this season. I think he knows what he has in this team if they can start clicking in the post-season and stay healthy.

The Saints were playing dirty and getting the Bucs injured while the refs were twiddling their thumb. I wouldn't have expected anything less from such a great leader
