Official 2022 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

This guy again.



Isn't he busy huddling with Kanye and discussing how it must be the Jews who ruined both their lives?
 
This guy again.


He really needs professional help. Unfortunately he's surrounded by Yes men
 
Obviously I a big believer in Brady. I don't see much decline in his game overall, he can still make most of the throws. Things really unraveled around him in Tampa Bay this season, so he had a down season, which we've see before (2006, 2013, 2019, and now 2022). It seems as obvious to me now as it did at the end of the 2019 season that Brady is heading to a new team.

Look, the only time the offense got it together all season was with Brady calling the plays from the no huddle. We saw it again last night but by the time they went to it the score was 0-24. It's not a sustainable situation where the OC is completely inept and the offense only works when he's taken out of the question. Brady was getting virtually no support from the coaching staff this season.

That said, Brady was completely frazzled until the last possession of the 3rd quarter (he had 200+ passing yards and 2 TDs from that point forward) but it was too late by the time he get it together. The red zone pick was a killer, they had to come away with points there, and he got picked on a pass he said he was just throwing away, which can't happen.

I also think Dallas was the best version of themselves (excluding the K), and they're a very talented team, so they were able to easily control the game.

Then there's Toilet Bowles who is just an abomination. He clearly does not have the capacity to be even a marginally competent head coach in the NFL. I don't think Arians was exceptional but he was at least engaged, enthusiastic, and brought an accountability factor to the equation. In hindsight I think Arians had an important leadership role that was completely lost on Bowles.
I'm not sure just how good Dallas is so I was a little concerned when I picked TB as the lowest scoring team. I thought that the Bucs' offense was so anemic that they wouldn't score much. It turned out to be true. The 2022 Bucs remind me of the Pats of the last few years.

As for the Dallas kicker, I wonder what the odds would be of him hitting a must-make 50 yarder at the end of a game.

Isn't Bowels the genius who called the defense with seconds left last year that cost the Bucs their playoff game vs the Rams? And for that he got a boost to HC? You gotta love the NYFL.
 
Brady threw a CRUSHING endzone pick in the second drive in the 2018 AFCCG against the Chiefs.

Think things still went pretty well for Brady after that.
Timing is everything.
 
Firing Leftwich may just be the first step. They could pursue Sean Payton for the head coaching position which obviously would make Bowles expendable. That move may convince Brady to stay, or it would have to, because otherwise Payton probably wouldn't consider coming to Tampa Bay.
 
Tennessee's quarterback situation is really bad so Brady would be an obvious upgrade but there isn't nearly enough on that roster to interest Brady. If Brady signs there then it tells me that no one else wanted him and he's just desperate to continue playing (and I don't either of those things will be true).
I wouldn't mind seeing Brady with the Titans, playing for his former teammate.

Easy division but no playmakers and I'm not sure about OL. If he truly is not retiring his options will be limited and he may end up there or back with Tampa. He's the GOAT no matter what but after this year and all the dump offs and tackles for loss you would hope he gets on a team with at least a top flight LT.

I guess that leaves out a return to the Pats. Do they even have a Left Tackle?

You may laugh but I think NE would be a good spot for him pending OC hire and actual spending of moneys. Brown is better than Smith by quite a bit when out there.
 
What an absolute clown show. The fact Licht or the Glazers haven't thrown both of these guys out of a helicopter by now is remarkable.

Toilet Bowles is staying why leftwhich wasn’t fired at half is beyond me

I mean, in a total lets throw reality out the window scenario then obviously this could work to a point. It would require Belchick and Brady to each have a total come to Jesus experience regarding playing together and they'd need to bring in Bill O'Brian and some other pieces. But if that happened, yeah the Pats would moonwalk to 10 or 11 wins the next two season, maybe outright win the divsion if Tua is not the same and if Allen gets more banged up. Bill breaks the Shula record everyone retires together. Kraft would obviously love it, he'd be able to sell so much on the reunion and being competitive every week it would be absolutely tremendous for business. But are they going to actually compete for a Super Bowl? No. It would be two years of basically the 2019 season just stat padding until it's over in the divisional round. Would I watch? Yes. Would I rather that than Brady retires? Yes. But in a vacuum do I want it? No.

Of course it will never happen but that's kind of how limited the options will be for him. If he truly wants to play he may have to play in Tampa and if that's the case would you rather he retire or play for Bowles throwing nothing but check downs to fournette, GO balls to Evans and screens to Godwin who will then fumble it?

Mark Davis would build a statue of him right outside the stadium to get him to play. They have NOTHING at QB. NOTHING. The Raiders are absolutely there IF he wants it. And considering Staley seems to be staying in LA and Payton isn't going to Denver maybe the division won't be as tough if they can just take 1/2 against the Chiefs.
 
I'm torn on who to root for out of the 49ers and Cowgirls! Them I hate the Cowgirls and can take or leave the 9ers! On one hand I want the 49ers to curb stomp Dallas and for Purdy to crap the bed in another NFCCG loss for San Francisco! I know it's a long shot but I'll love to see Brady close out his career there! Miami is also very interesting but just thinking about Brady there makes me want to vomit

One of the implications there is Bowles actually has say in who stays or not, which would only be the case if he's also sticking around. If the team commits to retaining Dumb and Dumber then it's proof Brady has told them he's not coming back next season.

Ya LV and Tampa are probably the 2 obvious options. I don't like either.

Cowboys to win and get destroyed by the Chiefs or Bills in SB would be good with me.

Vegas, Tampa, Tennessee, SF (maybe), Miami, and a couple other locations all make sense for one reason or another.
