OT: Official 2020 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[upstater1]

3 and out, good job Arians

And that's what you get with horrible coaching--couldn't have started worse. 3 and out, an injury, and a huge return

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

That was a quick game.

Brady, Pats, the family is now split. Daughter just arrived with my birthday gift of more TB12 stuff but teenage granddaughters are acting like jilted girlfriends, off the Brady train. I'm rooting for a victory over the Saints and another Lombardi for Patriots Gulf Coast.

I 100% agree w this. WOO HOOOOO Best QB EVAHHHHHHH!!!!

My take is screw Tampa rooting hard for Saints.
Tom and Gronk can have fun in retirement.
I hope he throws more than one pick 6 tonight.

I will 100% agree w this if it happens. WOO HOO, we cut bait at EXACTLY the right time!

I'm Schroedinger's Fan on this one.

You said you weren’t rooting for him because you’re a “team first guy.” It doesn’t take omniscience to see that. You, quite literally, posted that. This assumes that the rest of us rooting for Brady are not team-first guys. Maybe further clarify that next time. This is rich text. Not in-person.

No, it doesn't "assume" anything -- where did I reference anyone else? You're the one making assumptions, I was speaking only for myself.

Looks like Refs being told to give Saints the breaks

 

[upstater1]

Bucs D saved Arians on that one

EDIT: But Arians is determined to announce to everyone that the Bucs will run on 1st down

 

[stcjones]

Bucs ST is one of worst I have seen in many years ....wow

 

[RicoG]

Bucs need to pass on first down. They also need to do more short passes as it seems Brady is not having a lot of time to throw.

Looks like the same offense they ran in the 2 losses.

Run for 2 yards, incomplete, then 3rd and long, sack

All the talent on offense and they look terrible.

Dont tell me McDaniels wouldnt have this O on fire

 

[upstater1]

How did Evans not realize that Lattimore had screwed up his assignment?

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Ronald Jones as featured back...can’t make this up.

 

[upstater1]

Ronald Jones as featured back...can’t make this up.

Doesn't even look back for the pass

Fournette is so much better than Jones, and Fournette isnt even all that good

 

[upstater1]

Bad throw by Tom...

He had a TD there

 

[RicoG]

Fournette is so much better than Jones, and Fournette isnt even all that good

Fournette played good last game and is playing good today, soaring.

 

[RicoG]

Is it too much to ask to try and get the 1st down on 3rd and 2 to get a fresh set if downs instead of going for the TD from 10 year out.

Patriots offense scored 17.6 points per game last year with Tom Brady from Oct'19 onward. And flopped week17 and in playoffs. So no, McDaniels would not have helped.

 

[RicoG]

Well, well, a lead after such a slow start. NO players are dropping like flies, their returner Deonta Harris is now out too. The lucky horseshoe goes to,..... the Bucs

Let me say this to you again so you understand what I wrote: "All that talent on [the Bucs] offense..."

I'm not referring to Brady playing behind Marshall Newhouse, Ted Karras and Korey Cunningham and throwing the ball to Dorsett.

I'm talking about Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, Adam Brate, Rob Grnkowski, Tyler Johnson, Scotty Miller, Leonard Fournette. These players are a little bit better than Philip Dorsett.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Bucs D smells blood in the water

 

[upstater1]

Force Brees to throw downfield, dont give him the short stuff
