We needed more plays like that where we sell the run to open up Andrews wide open in the end zone.

It's crazy that the Buccaneers barring a comeback by Rodgers and company, they will be the first team to literally host the Super Bowl. I just never knew the Bucs were just a QB away from all this success.

i mean tbf it was pretty clear their roster was stacked basically everywhere except QB - i just had no idea that brady still had the arm on him to make it all work given how ugly the 2019 season was

Ravens Ring of Honor
other than hollywood - im taking all 5 of the bucs top 5 wrs over anything the ravens have at WR

and while im taking Andrews over all 3 of the Bucs receiving TEs (and oj howard has been injured since october tbf) - the fact that they have 3 receiving weapons at TE is also crazy

they've got 8 receivers better than all bar 2 of our receiving options...

im sorry but Evans, Godwin, Brown, Miller, Johnson, Brate, Howard, Gronk was an outrageous group this year

i love hollywood but he'd be WR4 for the Bucs right now... that's how loaded they are

i just want us to add 1 or 2 more receiving options lol dont need 8 haha
Jensen is killing Kenny Clark. Their OL is also in the upper tier. It helps if you have a good C

It's as if a QB needs receivers to succeed lol. What we saw from Josh Allen this year after getting Diggs, and what we are seeing from Brady in Tampa is what I think we'll see out of Lamar once he gets some legit receivers outside of Hollywood and Andrews.

If the Bucs lose this game, it's on Brady. A friend of mine who's a Bucs fan was telling me throughout the season that it doesn't make sense to keep throwing it downfield. Now granted, Brady has missed some throws but I agree. Where are some of the easy dink-and-dunks?

can someone explain to me why on earth the packers would take the FG there?

makes literally no sense - you're down a td with less than 2 and a half minutes on the clock... now taking the 3 you're still down a td... but now you dont have the ball and might not get it back...

please explain that decision to me because unless im missing something obvious that seems like the dumbest possible decision

I understand there was a hold there but come on at this point in the game, refs have to keep the flag in their pocket. What's worse is the ref 25 YARDS AWAY threw the flag.

nah man that's a fine call - like i get it they've been letting them play a lot but that was clearly at least a hold if not PI

and we wouldnt be talking about any of this if LaFleur did what he should have done and gone for it on 4th down - everything to do with this defensive series is meaningless after that decision

So the Packers take the FG when it makes 0 sense to do so and then the refs suddenly decide that a penalty they haven’t called all game is suddenly NEEDED to call right then and there.

These 2 weeks are gonna be so insufferable

It should have been called holding more than PI yes. Just so inconsistent to how the rest of the game was called. I do agree the Packers lost the game when LaFleur decided to take the FG instead of the Field Goal.

I also really hate these FA assembled teams. Outside of Evan’s & Godwin how many of the really important pieces to this roster were homegrown?
