OT: Official 2020 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[PP2]

Now, back to the 2020 tamper gronkaneers topic

How dare you.

 

[amfootball]

Is it me or is Antonio Brown the biggest dissapointnent so far.

Scottie miller fits the offense better

Not sure. He has been a possession receiver for them thus far and pretty good at it. He has a ton of third down conversions. For whatever reason they are not using him the way the Steelers did probably because they have so many guys that can play.

They seem to have Scotty Miller run fly routes every time he's out there. They hit on one yesterday but usually it doesn't seem to work.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Bucs still look like a first round exit.

 

[carmelo15]

It's fascinating how much quieter this thread is after a TB win than after a TB loss. Nothing new though. Brady has been silencing his critics for 20 years.
Meanwhile, the Extend Newton thread has become extinct.

they were in here during the first quarter told Brady to retire before half

 

[carmelo15]

To bring this thread back to the Bucs, what’s the consensus on how far they can go?

To me, the beat down they took against the Saints was one of those games that’s impossible to take a team seriously after that… Unless they have a coach who is so strong he can fundamentally transform the team in a few games, and it doesn’t seem like Arians is that type of guy.

it all depends on Arians and Leftwich (how the hell did he get the job anyways besides being friends with Arians). They showed signs yesterday they sent guys in motion like 5-6 times which is probably a record for them. They should also be getting Dean back soon and that should help. I’d take them bs any team outside of NO easily GB, Seattle, and LA aren’t that scary. And if they matchup with NO anything is possible especially with no fans and NO ability to choke in the playoffs

It’s beyond me why they don’t throw to AB/Godwin short when the oline is mediocre and those two are always open

 

[carmelo15]

The thing is Tampa need to be more methodical on offense. They need longer drives. They are like 27th in time of possession. It’s either they score quick or a 3 and out!

They always starts slow on both sides of the ball and against good teams it’s dangerous because you can get down by a lot quick. Which happened against NO and KC. It was starting the same way against GB before Rodgers wanted to help them a bit.

i think they can be dangerous against anybody if they take the lead. If they are up they can pressure you.

cause they start off with there predictable run up the middle setting up 2nd and 8. On 2nd down they’ll get 6-7 yards and on 3rd and 1 or 2 they take deep shot down field for reasons unknown and drives end up stalling

 

[carmelo15]

Youre dead wrong about one thing:
No way in hell is that sad sack's wife hot enough for Brady to sleep with.

hahahahah

 

[carmelo15]

It is stunning how supposed "fans" of the Patriots use the same dumb arguments that Colts/Jets fans used to use back in the day to discredit our SB wins/Brady.

mans you can’t fault them that’s our rivals now how ****ing pathetic is it when you are a Pats fan and the guy is responsible for the success for the last 15 years

 

[carmelo15]

You know, I never ever thought this would happen. No matter how things ended with Brady in NE, I always thought he would be celebrated for all the championships and glorious moments he brought for 2 decades. He did not even leave on bad terms. Finished out his contract, had a very short FA period and signed with an NFC team, never bad mouthing the Pats, Kraft or Bill on the way out. To have such vitriol aimed at him now just because the Pats are terrible and the Bucs are poised to make the playoffs, is maybe the saddest sports outcome of 2020 for NE.

I wish he went to Buffalo and spanked us twice a year for 3 years

 

[1960Pats]

Yep. Crickets.

Did you notice how happy the media was for the team? I mean genuinely excited to have a team right in the mix. What a difference to our media who are a bunch of curmudgeons that make wins feel like losses.

It's too bad for the TB fans that they didn't get to see Tom in his prime like we did. They're seeing over-the-hill Tom, who's still pretty good but not as good.

 

[1960Pats]

I'm sorry I missed them.

 

[Tompa12]

So Tom is on pace for:

4300YDs 37TDs 14INTs and 10-6 likely record.

Despite his weapons, that’s still not bad considering he has not played too well from the eye test. Even being 44 next year, with a full training camp, I wouldn’t be surprised if in 2021 he has a record year ala Manning’s 2nd season in DEN.

Doubt he's married considering he lives in his mom's basement.

 

[RicoG]

Yeah, but this over the hill Tom could be playing like 2007 Tom with all the weapons but the coaching and play calling is holding them back. Maybe 2021 they'll get a better OC.

 

[carmelo15]

To the clowns that thought Brady was calling plays cause that dumbass Arians said so how bout the media session.

McCoy said Brady had been calling for him to play and waiting, What does Arians come out and say. “Oh it was my call to get McCoy in there good thing he proved me right”. Dudes an absolute joke

It’s funny too because I don’t think understand how historically for the franchise having the most successful and greatest player ever to live is going to be a huge piece to our legacy going forward and ripping that down to feel better about him leaving is just about as short sighted as you can get.

Also I guess nobody see’s the coincidence of:

2000: No playoffs

2002: No playoffs

2008: No Playoffs

2020: No playoffs

You know the only 3 years that we didn’t have Brady starting in the Belichick era we went 0-3 in making the playoffs. But somehow went 17 for 18 when he did start. Total coincidence I’m sure. Also just a coincidence that it’s very likely the only two years we didn’t have a winning season were the only years Brady didn’t start any games whatsoever

Tom Brady is the GOAT for sure.

I would add that in 2002 Brady led the league in TD passes as a second year starter. NE was the 10th scoring offense and the 17th scoring defense.

And that was like a 3 way tie scenario or something
