Holy fk was a dumb post. fug Tampa, fug Brady, and fug his bs rigged crew of refs. Rodgers wiped the floor with this dude. 4 ints last game including more that were called back. Does he every face a team with a healthy OL? No? Go post in the Bucs forum 

Tom Brady doesn’t play against the other teams oline.

I have lived in Florida for over 20 years now but still barely cared who won. I did enjoy watching Tom win his 7th. We're watching history. This will never be repeated. Take some enjoyment in that. Tom Brady has been in nearly 10% of all Superbowls. As an old man myself, I find it hard to route against him. We'll get one someday. Just hope I'm alive to see it.

I didn't want either team to win going into the game but once I started watching I was pulling for Tampa Bay.  Just something about how all the media was talking about how great Mahomes is and all he had to do to get the GOAT was to beat Brady.  

Tampa outplayed KC.  

You can be all whiny and bitchy or just accept it.   

Tampa Bay had a great offensive and defensive game plan and KC scored FG while TB scored TDs.

They added 3 offensive players who, at one point in their careers not long ago, were the best at their respective positions--and they had 3 TDs together--the Bucs did not have to trade for them, draft them.  They were gift wrapped.  It was the most NBAish thing I have seen in the NFL. 

And for some reason, the refs in the Super Bowl think the team with the legendary, aging QB does not commit penalties.

Both of Tampa's SBs are fluky to a degree.  The 2002 team, Jon Gruden knew everything the Raiders were doing, I think he still even remembered their calls.  This one, they rented the G.O.A.T. for a ring.

One thing is for sure, both of those Tampa squads had solid defenses, that much I can't take away.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
