They still have Evans, Gronk, Brown. Fournette and Jones. Hardly crappy. Still a super team that can mask Brady's faults and they play 3 total losers to end the season. They can still get the one seed. Dallas and GB have better teams to play by far.

And a strong OL. Strong defense, especially Front 7.

Devin White is the worst form tackler in the league because he grew up playing running back so he never learned the proper tackling form. There is a reason he is probably one of the most fined LB’s in the league. There is a reason he was fined for that bush league horse collar tackle. Watch the video again idiot, he grabs Winston right below the horse collar and drags him down. It is by rule an illegal hit. Comparing White’s illegal hit against a starting QB to PJ Williams completely legal hit makes you seem like a hypocritical idiot.

The NFL was protecting their BS QB from the embarrassment of never being able to even win his soft NFC division. There’s no way they win the south without that injury. Do you at least admit to that?

If he was trying to end someone's season, he picked the wrong one.

That does suck. Godwin seems like a great person.

Before Godwin injury, healthy Bucs were the best team in the NFL. Team had been 10-3 with Gronk and Brown missing plenty of games.... Godwin wasn't their best pass catcher. Antonio Brown when healthy was better but given his very good run blocking -- Brown is weak at blocking -- and ability to even run for some first downs, he was their best overall receiver since he was so versatile.

With all of their receivers/tight ends healthy, Bucs had best receiving core in the NFL even if they may not have had a true top 10 receiver. I doubt they have the best overall receiver/tight end core in the NFL but should still be top 5 but counting on Brown/Evans/Gronk to stay healthy may be a tall order.

I no longer think Bucs deserve to be favorites to win it all since I don't have confidence at all in most of the Bucs backup receivers and chances are someone among Brown/Evans/Gronk misses is injured at a key point in the playoffs. If the key remaining pieces for Bucs are healthy, they will be a tough out but I doubt they will all stay healthy given the ages and wear on Gronk/Brown... even Evans has been injured more and more.

They are a bush league tackle from being in second place in one of the worst divisions in football.

Still think the Pats make the playoffs? Just want to get you on record before the collapse.

Sucks he not only tore his ACL, but also tore his MCL.

[Coochie liquor]

Remember when Al Bundy wasn’t a smug bitch? Pretty sure he became entitled about 1 second after Brady became a Buc. Will be entertaining to watch him turn back into a bumpkin when Brady retires.

Not a super team since Gronk is no longer elite. Evans is a top 10 red zone target at receiver but he isn't elite at gaining separation/moving the chains.
Brown is the best receiver they got but he is a fairly old receiver coming off an injury and suspension.

Bucs have a small chance at #1 seed since Green Bay plays Cleveland, Vikings and Detroit. I just don't see that happening given Packers own the tiebreaker and have the one game lead.

Yes, I believe Patriots make the playoffs. They have a better shot at #1 seed then missing the playoffs.

To miss the playoffs, they would probably need to lose all 3 remaining games. If they just win the Jacksonville game that is probably enough to make the playoffs.

Losing to both the Bills and Dolphins wouldn't surprise me but also losing to the Jags would.

The Bucs had weirdly good luck last year during their Super Bowl run staying healthy. If I remember, they were the healthiest team throughout the season by a good margin.

I'm still pissed we had to play them with our offensive line completely decimated. They could lose Godwin, Brown, Gronk, and Evans and they might have an argument for having as impactful a string of injuries we had last year.

You may be right. If the game was at Jacksonville, it would obviously be a toss up with how Jones has been playing, but I’m sure the refs will bail the Pats out at home like they always have. I love that you started it with “better chance at the 1 seed”…that was the kind of laugh I was looking for from your statement. They better hope Damien Harris makes it back for the Jags game or it really does become a toss-up…

Still don’t think it would be the same as losing the entire OL basically. Take away Brady’s starting linemen and make him make plays with his “athleticism” to expose him to the world.

[wachashi]

Brady has a persecution complex. Injuries are part of the game when they happen to other teams, but they impact him personally, that's a sign the rules need changed. What a bitch.
