OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[RicoG]

If Brady keeps his pace minus the Mickey Mouse interceptions he wins MVP

Yeah, he is head and shoulders above the pack right now even with his recent 1-2 record and meh stats.

These other QBs will be in the running if they play well and their team wins over the next couple weeks,.. Mahomes, Carr, Stafford, Allan, Rodgers, Burrow, Herbert, Prescott, Lamar, Murray.

 

[RicoG]

Well we can probably take out Carr, Stafford, Allan, Lamar, Prescott as they are too inconsistent this year.

Take out Murray due to injury.

That leaves the usual suspects of Rodgers and Mahomes, and the wildcard of Herbert and Burrows to be vying for MVP with Brady.

 

[amfootball]

Where are all the haters today? Crickets.

 

[sb1]

That has to be frustrating for Brady or any QB to have so many ridiculous drop/ricochet interceptions count against him.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Where are all the haters today? Crickets.

It's the Giants, buddy. 95% of the forum picked the Bucs to win.

 

[sb1]

The Pats appear to be on the rise now at least a year earlier than scheduled - but imagine if that wasn't the case. We all would be looking at another uncompetitive season and Brady cruising to yet another MVP and IMO still likely another ring. And if we see it so would Kraft and Bill... I wonder what they would be thinking.

There's a serious question which matters with regards to a Patriots playoff run and run in the playoffs. How much of the Patriots success is about the Patriots, and how much is about the ridiculously beneficial timing of when the team is playing their opponents (Browns missing their 2 rbs, Ridley out for the Falcons, Titans will be without Henry, etc...)?

If Buffalo doesn't wake up, we may not know the answer until the playoffs arrive.

It would be ugly let’s just say that.

And the Bucs not exactly being at full strength either even though the Pats lost that one anyway.

I think the Bills and Colts games will tell us a lot whether this team really is a contender or pretender. Looking forward to it.

It’s funny that those exact same opponents will do the exact same thing for both teams in the next month.

There's no dominant team in the AFC. Chiefs and Ravens will be the biggest challenge for the Pats. The odds of a Bucs vs Pat's SB is getting better by the week. A win by both next week, and we'll start seeing it as the trendy pick.

Bills upcoming 3 games vs the Pat's and the Bucs can easily be all losses. They gotta be worried about even making the playoffs.

Eh we all knew Tom had to have one of his best seasons to have a shot at MVP. Patriots/Brady fatigue is real

 

[VectorPrime]

The freaking running back isn’t gonna win the MVP.

If Taylor breaks 2000 yards then maybe. Otherwise Brady by a mile.

The Vikings are also only .500 so Cousins is doubtful as MVP.

If you're a QB who's been taught that you have to slide feet first, you either lift your spikes, or you risk having your feet catch on the turf.

The Buccaneers took cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting off injured reserve before Monday’s win over the Giants and they’re bringing another player back to the active roster on Tuesday.

Greg Auman of TheAthletic.com reports that the Bucs are activating wide receiver Scotty Miller. Miller has been out since suffering a turf toe injury in Week Three.
