OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[Tottie]

9ers are looking like Bucs last year, winning on the road against good teams. Their D is playing playoff football. Deebo, Mitchell and Kittle are balling.

I think the 49s would have trouble beating Tampa providing Tampa doesn't lose anymore players. They could beat LA but though depending on injuries from last night. This sort of feels like 2014 where the game against the Ravens was the real AFC Championship. I guess similar to tonight in KC too but I wouldn't write off Cinci just yet.

I’m guessing the Bucs watched tape of the SF/LA games this season. SF knows how to beat the lambs.

It's impossible to predict what's going to happen considering they're in the middle of a title defense.

I doubt winning back-to-back and losing tonight would have the same impact on Brady's decision, so it's moot to argue will he/won't he at least until the season ends. I can't fathom Brady retiring after winning it back-to-back and not coming back to try to become the first ever to do a three peat.

On the other hand, winning it 2 titles in 2 years with Tampa, and retiring with 8 rings, would be the greatest ride into the sunset ever. He has all the regular season records, all the playoff records, 7/8 rings, there is nothing else to chase.

He needs to take down the one record Peyton said was unbreakable: most TDs by a QB-receiver duo (114). He can do it next season w/ Gronky.

Shaq Barrett said in an interview that's the games they've been watching. SF vs LA

 

[Guts]

I think Tom plays one more year and then it becomes 50/50 no way he stops now when he's been repeatedly saying that 45 was his goal

Problem with the 49ers is that Jimmy is legitimately playing horribly. He tried to throw two pick sixes last night.

Yeah I wouldn't be stunned if they got to the SB. Niners I mean.

Thing is, I always want elite QB's facing off in the SB.

Rodgers vs Mahomes
Brady vs Mahomes
Allen vs Brady

Would be a letdomwn if SB 56 is Jimmy G or Stafford vs Mahomes or Allen.

I don't think Niners win next week. I think a bad QB will eventually lose you a big game.

I do wonder if their front office will be fooled by the results and go with Jimmy next year.

Would be fun to see the Bills make the Superbowl as it would also light a fire under the arse of the mediocre staff around BB in Foxboro, to catch up.

Lance is starting next year no matter what happens. You do not give up 3 1st round picks for that player to not play 2 straight years

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Honestly I don't want Buffalo winning a SB. Unfortunately that will be close to fruition if they win tonight.

I hate their fans who get hammered and abuse opposing fans.

I hate that their QB is being proclaimed as the guy to overtake Mahomes.

And yes...I'm fully aware that a piece of scum is employed on my team. And no I'm not a fan of the human being.

then you understand why a lot of Brady fans have a dislike of Mahomes

 

[venecol]

There's no doubt Buffalo is capable of going in and winning. They are the only team I've feared all year. I just think the game will come down to which QB makes the least amount of mistakes. If this were October, yeah, I'd say Buffalo has the advantage in that area. But Mahomes has improved since the rocky 3-4 start. And even though it's been a somewhat rocky season for him, he's handled adversity well. I'll say 45-33 KC.

Of the road teams, I think LA has the better chance today. TB fans aren't exactly the loudest. It's warm down there. Same weather Rams play in. LA doubles Evans and forces someone else to beat them. Meanwhile, LA has three receivers great at creating separation. And said receivers can fly. Coaching? You take McVay 8 days a week. Here's the major question: Can TB's front get to Stafford? If so, I think TB wins. Tough to predict a score here.

Now...looking ahead.

I've predicted Cin-KC & SF-Rams.

Cin-KC: Burrow is great. But the journey ends in Arrowhead. Oline isn't up to sniff and the opposing QB won't be handing you gifts. 45-17 KC

SF-Rams: I take McVay in a big game 8 days a week over Shanahan. Donald vs that SF OL= mismatch. 28-10 Rams.

LA-KC: OK so my team won't be scoring at will. Rams D is too good. Coaching? Wash. So who do you trust more. Stafford or Mahomes? I'll take Mahomes. 28-24 Chiefs.

So I'm predicting a Chiefs SB win. Becoming the fourth team in NFL history to win a SB after losing the previous year. The other three? 1971 Cowboys, 1972 Fins, and of course the 2018 Patriots.

You're delusional.

You think KC is going to put up 45 pts on the #1D in the league? Lol

Burrow already put a beating on KCs defense.

SF have swept Rams 3 years in a row (6-0), so much for your McVay take. They won by an average of 8.5 pts but they're now going to lose by 18?? Lol

I'll put money, the Chiefs don't win the SB.

I'll contribute 100 to your favorite (Or sites favorite) charity if the Chiefs don't win the SB. I'm unsure if it's allowed on this site though. If not allowed, I'm sorry. If it is allowed, how can we coordinate?

If the Chiefs do win. I guess I get bragging rights for a few days. Then, reality sets in and I'm back to my miserable life.

Btw I'm not trying to be a prick.

This is just a game. And I'm just trying to have fun banter.

I just want to clarify I enjoy this board. And though I fail at objectivity, I'm working on it.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Rodgers is limited by his desire to only throw to wide open receivers to avoid picks. Dude has no balls.

Which is why he’s just like Manning. The difference is Manning wasn’t scared during during the season…he morphed into “don’t lose the game” tendencies in the postseason. Rodgers is always the same…but against weak opponents, his style works.

You're on but charity begins at home, so you can venmo or zelle me the $100. I'll do the same.

I'm in Canada visiting family.

Btw, you don't have to send 100 if you don't prefer.

I think Zelle is a money transfer system.

I have a better idea.

I'll post an avatar of Tom Brady for 6 months if I lose.

If I win, you post an avatar of Mahomes for one month.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Brady has more playoff wins (35) than Manning, Rodgers, and Brees combined (34).

Manning: 14-13
Rodgers: 11-10
Brees: 9-9

Think if it as his NFL corpse finally doing that.
