OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Why does Aaron Rodgers always end up with byes?

(Not a football question.)

 

[venecol]

Yes. They’re better off playing Arizona than Dallas or LA. I’d still take the #1 seed in a split second, but that would be an ideal situation. However, I don’t know if Arizona will even hold up for #3. They still play at Dallas.

If they fall to #4, then Rams probably take division at #4 and ARI is at #5.
Bucs- WFT
Dal-SF
LAR-Ari

Then Dal @ Bucs
LAR-Ari @ GB

That's worse.

 

[Guts]

Bucs should avoid the Rams or SF. McVay and Shannahan would eat Bowles alive. All about matchups and even though GreenBay has probably the best team besides the Bucs, I feel like the Bucs would steamroll them at home or Lambeau due to the matchup

I want Rodgers to go 1 and done so badly.

I want Rodgers to go 1 and done so badly.

there’s a chance he does if it’s Dallas or LA

From NFL.com "Herbert, who's brought home three Player of the Week honors this season, had three touchdown passes in leading his Los Angeles Chargers to a 37-21 victory"

How is it that the MVP favorite only has 1 player of the week and has Brady won a player of the month?

For cripes sakes, 100,000! Forget the rules and all, different era, blah, blah. That number is MASSIVE.

 

[amfootball]

I am looking forward to the Bucs defense getting after Hill. They have feasted all season on the running QBs who can't throw.

 

[RicoG]

For cripes sakes, 100,000! Forget the rules and all, different era, blah, blah. That number is MASSIVE.

He won't quite get there this year.
The 100,000 number include his 1100+ running yards. So he'll have the all purpose yards of 100k early in the season then 3/4 weeks later the passing yards of 100k.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

If Brady does truly somehow play 3 or more years, his regular season passing numbers may not be broken in our lifetime even with the rule changes and 18 games

post season numbers are already untouchable

Cardinals super bowl hopes are finished if he’s out for the year

The Cardinals are such a likeable and easy team to root for! However I feel like they're a year or two from being a legitimate contender!

 

[VectorPrime]

Cardinals super bowl hopes are finished if he’s out for the year

Yikes. It’s not impossible they fall out of their division lead.

 

[Guts]

More injuries but these don't seem too alarming. They will most likely play

 

[Deus Irae]

Bucs haven’t reported any positive tests this week. And long-snapper Zach Triner last week offered an encouraging model where a player can test positive and get the two negatives allowing him to return and play in the same week.

 

[Deus Irae]

Bucs announce that running back/returner Kenjon Barner is back on the practice squad, and corner Rashard Robinson has started the 21-day window to practice before he comes off injured reserve.

 

[carmelo15]

I like that setup. Avoid LAR, DAL, & GB until 1 is left standing. Take care of WFT & ARI/SF at home. No problem.

I hope it's JimmyG against the GOAT in TPA.

Edit: if SF beats ARI, I guess they play GB. Go ARI.

second seed is better than the first cause they’ll avoid playin LA till the conference championship. GB having home field vs Tampa means nothing GB stands no chance

 

[Deus Irae]

Wednesdays are walkthroughs for the Bucs these days, so ballcaps and hoodies and impossible to read any levels of participation. Good to see Jordan Whitehead out here, though I did not see Jamel Dean.

Arians says Fournette has a sore ankle, didn’t practice today. Sherman, Winfield also held out with injuries, but it’s a walkthrough today.

Arians said Richard Sherman was held out today with an Achilles injury, Leonard Fournette with an ankle and Antoine Winfield with a foot. No word on any severity. Sherman looked fine as he talked to media today.
