OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

And, just like that....

Bruce Arians said Ali Marpet “will be a game-time decision.”

Arians said #Gronk has responded well physically after playing his first full game in nearly two months. #Bucs

Since no QB can hold a candle to Brady's season so far, the campaign to look for someone else is picking up steam. Expect a Cooper Kupp article if he has a strong game.

RB Index, Week 12: Why a running back has the best shot to win NFL MVP in years

Maurice Jones-Drew explains why Colts second-year pro Jonathan Taylor has a legitimate chance to become the first running back to win the NFL MVP award since 2012.

Jonathan Taylor won't be able to just run on the Bucs D. My own observation is when a top RB meets a top run stopping D, the run stopping D wins out most of the time.

Indy coaches would have to outcoach the Bucs coaches for Taylor to have a strong game. Well that wouldn't surprise me. The Bucs have struggled against top coaches.

MVP race should be over already if it wasn’t for bucs receivers… 5 dropped td’s in the end zone and 4 of Brady’s 8 picks have bounced off their hands

 

[Tottie]

You can bet your ass if Brady tops all the stats and everyone else doesn't look right except a non QB having a great season that this would be the year they give it to them.

 

[sb1]

The MVP race is pretty much over. They're not giving it to a non QB unless Brady absolutely craters - which he won't.

NFL betting: Tom Brady is significant favorite to win MVP, and he will be hard to catch

Tom Brady has a great argument for this season's MVP award.

44 years old and not just elite but on the verge of his 4th MVP. Incredible.

Pats would be on their way to ring #7 this year if they kept him, no doubt about that. Oh well.

which is great news for the other teams that want to win the SB

Maybe - or another way to look at it is the league is way overdue for an MVP to win a ring in the same year.

And obviously you could say the same about a rookie QB winning the Super Bowl as well....

A running back winning MVP…lol.

Is there a punter having a big year?

If they snub Brady, at least give it to someone who makes a difference in win/loss record and isn’t 80% a product of the offensive line.

What Would Have To Happen For A Punter to Win MVP?

Football is a weird sport. It’s not uncommon for people to compare the sport to chess, and while some say it’s because of the strategic decision making and layered attack that each team employs, I …

LOL

I can actually see a guy like this coming into the league someday and being a nightmare for other teams. Like Hekker on steroids - not literally but you know what I mean. Or maybe literally who knows. LOL

 

[sb1]

With the Tre White injury - like the Pats the Bucs will also benefit and maybe more. Brady will be attacking that side and they'll feast.

Update - White has torn ACL so he will definitely not be playing the rest of the season. Brady is going to have his way with that side of the Bills secondary.

 

[carmelo15]

Coming from the same guy who puts Belichick's record without Brady in his signature...yeah that's not trolling at all. How about answering this trivia question? What is the only team Brady hasn't thrown a TD nor led multiple TD drives against?

Man shut the **** up

 

[VectorPrime]

Adrian Peterson won the MVP in 2012 because he had an ungodly season while single handily dragging his sh.it team to the playoffs after coming back from a torn acl. St. Peyton came second in the vote of course.

Brady had his way with that Bills secondary even with White playing! I can only imagine what he's going to do with him being out!

Henry had a decent shot this year. No other non-Qb is getting more than a vote or two IMO.

 

[bigballas]

Yup the defending super bowl champs beat the Pats on a missed FG. Good for them.

isn't it Belichick that always say last season has no significance on this season?

 

[1960Pats]

Glad that Dallas lost but I can’t stand how penalties can be the biggest part of the game and the refs dictating who wins them:

"Raiders (14 penalties, 110 penalty yards) and Cowboys (14 penalties, 166 penalty yards) combining for 28 penalties and 276 penalty"

This included 4 pass interference calls on the same player all on crucial 3rd downs.

I almost turned off the TV on that horrendous game deciding call but I was worried that I might miss a Raiduh's screw up. Little by little I'm getting less interested in watching the NYFL just because of the officiating. This wasn't the first time that I didn't watch much of the games, though I did watch a good amount of that game.

 

[1960Pats]

Yup, and he's right. Just as he is when he says it's a player's game.

My early probably too optimistic prediction
