OT: Official 2020 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[1960Pats]

I wouldn’t worry about them in the playoffs. Those two will find a way to gag on a fat one.

Call me superstitious, but I'd rather Brady not face the giants a 3rd time in the playoffs.

LOL @ Bradyites afraid of the Giants....

WFT has a great pass rush, both on the inside and outside. NYG only have a decent pass rush up the middle. And it's clear Daniel Jones is not a 100% healthy with a bad hamstring. I think Tampa will win, but WFT is probably the worst matchup from the NFCE for them.

Alex Smith isn't healthy either and his mobility is limited. But I agree that this game will really test the Bucs OL.

But playing for a perennial losing franchise with questionable coaching should count for something.

Being 43 and playing at an elite level is historic and should be counted as an automatic pro bowl. Manning would have gotten it if he had 10 less TD, 1000 less yards, and was 5 years younger.

Has any QB thrown for 40TDs and not made the Pro Bowl?

I think their philosophy on offense has changed.

they used more motion to allow Tom to decipher the coverage pre snap to put TB in the right play, they use more play action to keep the pass rush honest, they use the RB and the TE for extra protection more often.

and more importantly, they use a lot more short route. Brady will get the ball out quick which will help the OL a lot. They will take their deep shot once in a while but I think they hit it because it’s not forced. The short stuff opens the deep shot by itself.

against the NO, KC and LAR, Brady was standing in the pocket forcing balls down field all game long. It’s hard for any OL to protect your QB for 3+ seconds every play while he waits to hit a guy 40 yards down the field.

it’s my opinion, that TB is more equipped now to handle a good pass rush.

WFT is an easy win for Tampa...I didn't see anything from Alex Smith tonight that makes me think he can win that game.

It's not from Smith, it's from Toilet Bowles' soft underneath D.

 

[203Pat]

Amazing Brady had his second highest touchdown season at 43.

 

[Tompa12]

I fully expect TB to handle WFT however this was the worst possible matchup with that pass rush.

Would have loved to see Brady go into Dallas and I’m sure plenty of other NFL fans, and light up there Swiss cheese defense in Jerry World.

"I want Tom Brady I want Tom. I want Tom." LOL you got him. Good luck.

This feels to me like Yankee fans chanting we want Boston before the 2018 ALDS. Didn't work out very well for them and this probably won't either.

Brady was on fire last 3 games. They are clicking and peaking at right time.

Brady better be on fire against those s**t pass defenses with those receivers.

Everyone just ignores that

2 tds, 1 int, barely over 50%, 278 yards.

Can't even blame the weapons either...Mahomes has 2 All Pros in Kelce/Hill along with Watkins and L. Bell

Forcing Brady out the door is the biggest blunder of Bill's career.
