NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION NFC Division Round: LA Rams at Tampa Bay Bucs

[captain insano]

I'll never understand people like you.

lmao that's ok. ill never understand people like you either. You get so upset, it's hilarious. Are you going to call me names now? You are like a soccer fan who gets all upset when you tell them soccer sucks.

 

[Marko]

If it is he went out in style.

Honestly I think the Bucs will lose alot of players this offseason.

Their coaching isn't good.

Brady's got nothing left to prove.

But he can't really retire without paying back that cash.

They have a ton of FA

They have a ton of FA

Most can be either resigned or replaced.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I think Tom comes back for his last year under contract.

Bucs offseason priorities are secondary and WR.

 

[raduray]

Hell no

Mahomes to Hill for opening TD

No.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

Todd Bowles, what a joker. How do you call a corner blitz in that situation? Wasted an all time comeback. The Rams tried very hard to lose that game.

I'd say that "tried very hard to lose that game" is an understatement. That was shocking. Somehow they won but that was, IMHO, an appalling performance within the context of a full 60 minutes.

 

[Rob0729]

Nice effort by Brady and co. But the defense let them down in the end.

I think Brady may retire because there is likely to be a decent amount of turnover on the Bucs due to free agency and retirement. I am not sure if he wants to come back if he doesn’t have a legitimate shot at another ring. I think it will depend on who leaves in the next few months. Now he is 44 and has a ring without the Pats, I am not sure he is motivated to play for a team that isn’t loaded and ready to contend for a title as one of the favorites.

If he does retire, I wish him all the best and thank you for 20 incredible seasons with the Pats.

 

[Kontradiction]

Brady never gave up.

I think that's what he's all about.

The Rams are on borrowed time.

Chiefs will get em.

Uh, the Chiefs need to get past the Bills first.

 

[NFL Mystique]

Uh, the Chiefs need to get past the Bills first.

Shouldn't be a problem.

 

[PP2]

Here you can see why the cover zero blitz was the worst call; epic choke job by Bowles. He threw the game away.

Note who the blitzer left uncovered.

 

[RicoG]

Epic choke job by Bowles to call a cover zero blitz. McVay made him pay dearly, and that's how you saw Kupp end up being covered by a safety.

I still don't get why they did it. Overconfident?

There wasn't much time. Double Kupp
Prevent deep catches. At worst, Rams would have been kicking a hard field goal from about 50 yards out.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

They are 30 mil UNDER the cap and can upgrade at positions currently held by JPP who is simply cooked at this point. They are no where NEAR a tear down. In 2023 they might be. Not next year. Next year is still wide open.

I didn't realize that. Interesting.

This game they were missing who, Wirfs and Godwin? If the same team is back next year and healthy could be very compelling. A swan song season for tb12 kind of like when Elway was on his way.

.

 

[TBR]

Glad I turned it back on for the 4th Q, but oh man, Toilet Bowls doesn't belong in this league for calling a blitz like that and leaving a decent but not elite safety to cover the best WR in the league.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Here you can see why the cover zero blitz was the worst call; epic choke job by Bowles. He threw the game away.

Note who the blitzer left uncovered.

Possibly a career changing and psychological life changing play for Stafford. Never thought he had poise. But to go deep up the gut here was good recognition and also took guts. What a play. I don't think it makes sense to ever take your FS out like that.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

Brady isn’t retiring. Not after it was that close. I might be wish casting a bit but I feel like the season ending like THAT is motivation to come back and finish the job.

It's incredibly hard to win the SB. You not only need the team to put together the right pieces but the pieces need to be put in the right place consistently. You then need the injury gods to be on your side and you also don't happen to run up against that one in a thousand Buster Douglas moment where the other team just has your number at that moment on that game day (I'll not mention the unmentionable SB that comes to mind).

Brady may come back but I just can't imagine it is because he lost. TBH the Bucs were fortunate to even be n that game at the end (The Rams incredibly comical mistakes). In the annals of QB greats, Brady will be page 1 for a loooong time. Being fortunate enough to win the SB next year won't change him already being page 1.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

I think Tom comes back for his last year under contract.

Bucs offseason priorities are secondary and WR.

Swan song. Should announce before the season. Like Elway going out

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Bowles should be remove from any HC list and be out of a job tonight

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Bowels just nuked any chance of an HC offer today unless there are Moron owners.
Oh, wait!

 

[VectorPrime]

Bills. Don’t you dare screw this up.

 

[Sfpat]

All three games end with walk off FGs. How about it KC/Buf?
