The 2020 Super Bowl pregame thread

Without the superior coaching staff he had in New England, Tom loses this one. Belichick owns Reid in playoff games.

Nothing would be better than seeing him ball out on Sunday in a winning effort. Imagine him winning MVP? Lmao. There are so many people who would require an in-your-face shout out. Media figures, PF board members...such a long list.

I hope it's a massive blowout and he goes for 200 and then goes to the KC sidelines and asks Mahomes to have his girl call him cause he likes them crazy.

My dream would be Brady to AB for the super bowl winning TD. Imagine the Steeler fans reaction

I'm pretty sure that's how fans are. You come here and there's a lot of tearing down Mahomes. He's elevated by the weapons. They haven't beat anybody. I've seen him called a mongrel on this website more than once. They make fun of his voice, his girlfriend. Worry about his cap number. He is a product of Reid. Montana, Elway, Rodgers and Five Head suck. It's part of it.

Yes and no. The only players I've seen really talked about a lot here are Rodgers, Manning and Mahomes. The Rodgers/Manning push back is more due to the media narrative that surrounded both. Rodgers being the 'BOAT' and Brady being the 'GOAT' which never made any sense. The media and other people could help but elevate Rodger's to Brady's level when he has only ever won a single NFCCG and SB in his career and has a history of under performing when down vs good teams. It is more the reaction to the overreaction. The same thing for Manning. As for Mahomes I have not seen him called a mongrel on this site.

People might bring up his cap number, short career and weapons as well as Reids offense. Those are all fair points. We have not seen enough of him yet to make a determination on how good he really is. I think he is going to be a HOF worthy QB and probably top 10, but how about let him play a little more before comparing him to Brady or even a guy like Manning or Elway. We need to see how he looks without an all star cast. That is important information.

I wonder if they'll use a base like this:

Suh - Vea - Pierre-Paul
White - David - Barrett (lined up as OLB but rushing half the time)
Murphy-Bunting - Davis - Winfield - Whitehead - Edwards (or Dean)

Suh and Vea are 3-4 guys and can do some damage against that OL.

Man. Watching Vea against Green Bay's Oline was amazing. He's definitely a difference maker.
Buc's front seven will decide this game.

Literally almost every word of what you wrote is either an outright lie or an exaggeration...no one is saying these things besides that Rodgers and Manning are overrated. The stuff about Mahomes/the Chiefs...what? No one is stating those things, other than the reality about the Chiefs cap situation.

But I did call out the poster who called Mahomes a mongrel and am disappointed he wasn’t banned from the forum. The poster is a racist *******.

 

[Tony2046]

Bucs can’t afford to lose time of possession 35ish-25ish

they need to keep the chains moving. Fournette and Jones need to actually catch their damn targets

Turnovers skew the time of possession. Mahomes, as great as he is, does offer up some turnovers from time to time.

You shouldn't be able to go on the air and spew accusations like that. It's become so normal no one bats an eye but it's ridiculous.

The closer we get to this game the more I worry about the KC defense. I think they are very good and I'm not worried (in relative terms) about the KC offense. They will put up points but the scripted plays TB uses to start the game will decide everything. You can't go 3 and out 2 times to start off and PLEASE don't run straight ahead for 2 on the first play.

If brady gets time they will dice that defense up assuming they’re not predictable.

Andy Reid starts thinking about a three-peat.

Is that Code for a triple cheeseburger.

 

[reesebobby]

I see what you did there.

 

[skinnydog]

I know...

Thats raw numbers. Not some PFF BS.

Tom still had a great year but deep ball accuracy was never his forte and he did a ton of that in TB. Plus he didn't have that 3rd down back type either.

I do think hes lost a little bit of the quick reflex ability but the talent on offense made up for it.

I thought I saw an in game stat a couple games ago stating that Tom had the most completions over 20 yards downfield in the NFL this relay and was the third most accurate. Over the course of the year there’s been some obvious times the Bucs offense was out of sorts, figuring things out. When the other team blitzes Brady demands that his receivers recognize 5hat and immediately break off there routes to allow for a quick blitz beating pass. Early on it was pretty obvious Evans and Godwin just weren’t used to doing that. Maybe they just counted on Winston avoiding the rush and getting the the ball. Obviously Tom can’t and needs to get rid of the ball right away. And both Evans and Godwin were banged up for a while this year. Also it looks like the offensive scheme has evolved over the year to mix in more of the short passing game. while Tom has completed a lot of deep passes, he still tends to miss long more than miss short. Maybe because there’s less risk of an int on overthrows on deep routes. He still looks pretty accurate out there and his Arm has plenty of life.

The ultimate dream is an OT win with Tampa scoring after winning the coin toss. Hearing the dumbass media complain would be glorious

Totally agree with your take.
