OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[Tottie]

David is more important than all of them so that's a shame. White has had a pretty bad year and good QBs will drink and dunk all the way to the endzone.

 

[Deus Irae]

Bucs cannot face the Saints in the wild-card round, and if Saints advance, they go to Green Bay in the divisional. So the only way the Bucs and Saints meet would be in an NFC Championship Game in Tampa.

The @nytimes has a nice visual...

That is great news on Vita. Licht is such a different GM from Bill. When his young players perform that he's drafted, he signs them. Bill let's so many guys walk because he doesn't want to pay them the second contract that they are worth.

 

[amfootball]

That's the best news of the playoffs for the bucs. I mean if the Saints actually go into Green Bay and win and the bucs get to host the championship game, that would be pretty sweet.

That being said, I am not sure the Saints beat the falcons tomorrow. I do think there is a decent chance though that the niners beat the Rams.

Both ways work depending how you approach it.

Sure. But from a fan perspective, I love the way Licht does things.

I hated when Bill let players like Jones and Flowers walk. I get why he did it but as a fan it just absolutely stunk.

Buccaneers, Vita Vea agree to four-year extension - ProFootballTalk

Excellent move!

Barner and Fells…will we see another player or two added to Tom’s running record of touchdowns to different players?

This video cracks me up. First the total “pyche!” of the boy, and then the expression on the girl’s dad face.

If the Saints beat the Rams in LA and then the Packers in Green Bay every Bucs fan alive will be absolutely terrified to face them in the NFCCG because not only are the Saints the Patriots to their Bills but it means they’re on a historic heater.

Hope Gronk gets out of his TD drought tomorrow. He's had 3 TD drops in the last 3 games. The drops in the Saints and Panthers game should have been easy TD catches. The pass in the Jets game was more difficult as it was a little high and was a rocket. Unbelievable how much heat Brady can still put in his throws.

Brady already beat them when it mattered. If I were the Bucs, I'd be more worried about the Saints going bounty hunting. If they both make it that far and the Bucs win, will they be crippled for the SB?

 

[RicoG]

Dallas already has 30 points at half time. Seems like they will be #1 scoring offence and Bucs in 2nd.

I hated when Welker left. He got less money in his 2 years in Denver than his last 2 years with the Pats. So why did he leave? Did BB not even try to make a competitive offer?

Welker wasn't a good fit in Denver. Manning couldn't use slot receivers like Brady. For one, he didn't have nearly the same velocity especially on short throws up the middle.

Welker's stats went down big time and the concussion he suffered shortened his career and reduced his production.

He was so close to being a HOF. He would have had it if he had stayed.

I'll be thrilled if the Saints knock off the Rams and Packers. It's so unlikely to happen though.

Ya they aren't very good unless they go up against the Bucs. Cameron Jordan is an animal.

Why can’t NO beat Atlanta tomorrow

but ya I can see NO beating LA/GB with that defense

When did The Bills beat the Pats in the playoffs I guarantee every bucs fan wants NO at home vs @LA or @Dallas

I didn't say they can't beat them but Atlanta can put up points and the Saints offense is pretty challenged to score with Hill at quarterback.

If the Saints somehow where to beat the Rams and Green Bay that would be awesome for Tampa. Pretty sure Brady and Arians would take the championship game at home.
