Legendary QB and a team of admiring refs make it possible. 

So Aaron Rodgers should be the target?

You can buy a sb, but not in that way. Just hand the refs a poo ton of money like Brady always does 

[GoobyPls]

Broncos beat us with a teams main players were FA.

I don't see the big deal. This is where a great owner & FO counts.

At least buying the mercenaries is within the scope of the rules. The way the game was officiated was not. How many yards did non mercenary Bucs get? Wasn’t many. Evans had a catch or two, Brate had a couple, Jones had about 100 yards I think. The rest was Brady, Gronk and Fournette. Shortcut way, far less respectable, but at least fair.

tampa had a great draw early in playoffs getting the skins

their biggest break all yr was brees getting hurt...he was never the same

but bucs did win at green bay & beat the defending champs...un friggin believable

Not sure why is everyone keeps saying the Bucs bought a Super Bowl when Brady was the only key free agent pick up. Brady talked Gronk into coming out of retirement, Browns & Fornette both were released from their teams. They both came to the Bucs on minimal contracts just to play with Brady. They knew it was their best chance of a Super Bowl. 
 

Suh was picked up by the Bucs in 2019.

those players were the difference, that is why.

This offense is largely the same as it was last year.  Just change Winston for TB and add Gronk and Fornette.  The defense, that has been good against the run for like 3 years now, just got better in coverage with Winfield.  For the most part this is the same team as 2019.  The only thing that really changed is Brady.

First time I can recall that a SB was in essence bought by bringing in a surge of FA players 

Brady

Gronk

AB

Fournette

Suh

Never thought this was a formula for success but when done right and when a team has a base compliment of players 

In a normal FA period you can't pay all those guys what the woudl normally cost:

AB - Minimum contract after he ruined his own value

Fournette - Minimum contract after he pulled a Moss in JAX and got released

Suh - Aging vet at less than premium

Gronk - at a respectable rate after a trade of a 4th

TB12 - at 25M, which is substantially less than the current QB ''re-sign'' market value which is 35M+ for ''franchise QB's''

I just want to know how much the refs cost because it's obvious they are completely biased and swing SB games. This crap is getting too close to wrastlin level scripts.

I mean, we haven't had CAP space for like 4 years because of bad signings.

We essentially sold our future and many young players away by making mistakes in resigning older players and over paying older players in FA.
