OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

[Deus Irae]

I want a convincing win and NO INJURIES. Can we please have both? Please?

Given the way this season has gone, you should probably only ask for one of those. Two might take a miracle.

 

[Deus Irae]

No Josh Sweat for the Eagles today probably means more Milton Williams and less rotating of the DL. Makes the prospect inviting long drives by the Bucs dicier.

 

[Deus Irae]

With Eagles' run game and Bucs' injuries, feels like a "big nickel" game for Bucs, which means a huge day for Mike Edwards, who has only four starts but led the team in interceptions. Whitehead and Winfield are crucial vs. run, and these are versatile pieces for Todd Bowles.

 

[Deus Irae]

Sorry, yes, Shaq Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul are both active and back today, after missing last three games each. Huge part of Bucs' defensive front, not only in getting to the QB but containing him in run game.

What on earth

What on earth

What? What happened. I heard nothing about this until now, you think that would be bigger news if it was life threatening.

I have watched this Tampa team have injuries up and down their defense all year. I mean My god they went and pulled Sherman out of retirement it was so bad. They went 13-4.

They went 13-4 thanks primarily to Tom Brady, a superior offensive line and formidable offensive weapons.

Is this being used as the game thread?

 

[VectorPrime]

And Whirfs is down. Cursed.

And Whirfs is down. Cursed.

Unreal.

 

[Deus Irae]

Good start with the td, but Wirfs struggling to put weight on that leg is not a good sign.

 

[gobesmug]

Buck and Aikman are pathetic. Everything about that hit on Brady was deserving of Roughing the Passer.

It was a late hit to the leg.

If that was Rodgers they would have been demanding Barnet get ejected

 

[Deus Irae]

3-and-out for the Eagles, followed by a shanked punt, and that sets up a chance for the Bucs to put the Eagles in trouble early.

Yeah and of course because the announcers cried about it twitter is going nuts. It was not only late it was low. Thats not even a hard call.

Wirfs has an ankle injury, according to the Bucs trainers. Which means he probably has an elbow injury.

Damn elbows. Arians will come on and say nah he is fine, not worried about him, and then he is out for the year.

Lol...pretty much.

Update: Wirfs back on the sidelines. I'm sure he'll practice this week and then on Thursday go straight to hospice as we await his tragic end.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

$100 that **** face would have thrown both of those in. Brady doesn’t give a ****

 

[Guts]

They're losing the whole Oline now lmao

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Hey, it's okay...it sucks Godwin is out, but at least they have AB.

Ummm....okay, well at least this guy Grayson is emerging.

Ummm...okay, well they can adapt their offense around the run game to take advantage of their o-line, featuring two star linemen.

Uhhh.....yeah....
