Antonio Brown Out For Sunday
January 22nd, 2021
Bucs WR Antonio Brown.
Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians made it clear.
Furniture-tossing, bicycle-throwing Bucs receiver ANtonio Brown will not play Sunday in the NFC title game in Green Bay.
Brown suffered the injury last week at New Orleans. The Bucs as recently as yesterday held out hope Brown might be able to lace up the cleats for the NFC Championship game. Now it is up to Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson.
Arians said that with the expected swelling of Brown’s knee from flying, the swelling likely would not decrease enough for Brown to play.
“I talked to [Brown] this morning,” Arians said. “To put him on the plane and fly up there and have it swell more doesn’t make any sense. He wasn’t as close as we hoped. So we will get him ready for the next [game],” Arians said.

GO BUCS!!!!

As long as Miller Wil fight for contested balls it’ll be ok. Johnson is a star in waiting
January 22nd, 2021 at 12:36 pm
Would rather have a healthy Scotty & Tyler out there than AB gimping around if he’s that hurt. Both have filled in admirably throughout the year.
January 22nd, 2021 at 12:36 pm
would be better with him in but we are deep. Scooter needs to get at least one deep ball and Johnson needs to keep the magic going, lets not call him a star in the making, he has made one great play.

Why do I feel like if Evans had the same injury he’d be playing…
January 22nd, 2021 at 12:38 pm
yeah..lol..lets not crown him just yet…lol..
GO BUCS!!!!

Hard loss…the positives is both next mens up, are really good

The only thing that really bothers me with this is that our #2 WR has been awful so far these playoffs. Chris Godwin has gotta step his game up right now.
I have previously said that Chris is a a perfect football player so I do love the kid. But the truth is the truth. Chris has been terrible. The silver lining is its all mental so he can get over ot quickly and put those drops behind him.
Secondly Ill give Mike Evans a pass since its the Saints. They always shut him down. But hes gonna have to figure that one out in the offseason or something. Sorry, bug time game. You gotta show up. No excuses. I would like to see him make amnends for vanishing this Sunday.

LOL, Chris Conte’s epic stiff arm retirment video is headline on BSPN, Vance McDonald retirement article shows Conte’s video. He’s got to be so proud !

i just want to win i dont care how
January 22nd, 2021 at 12:53 pm
Huge loss, AB could be the difference of L vs the W. I don’t care what happened first game that was then, this is now. Brady’s last int off Millers arms and that great catch Johnson made he curled in when Brady thought he was curling out which tells me because of the low amount of reps they are not fully on same page.
January 22nd, 2021 at 12:57 pm
That’s okay. It’s Tyler Johnson time!
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:04 pm
Lets pray there is a next game! Go BUCS!!!!! Scotty Miller to the rescue!!!
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:07 pm
VV looks like he’s put on a few…lol…and not in a bad way…he looks even bigger and stronger…
GO BUCS!!!!

Scotty Scotty Scotty!
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:08 pm
USMC-BUC check out the Hall of Fame bowl catches he made thats why we got him. He destroyed Auburn and BA was there in person. I know its college but Auburn has always had great defenses.

jimmyjack
cant disagree…
GO BUCS!!!
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:12 pm
as much as i hate to see AB go down, i think scotty adds that important deep factor element to this offense. that little hesi he did on janoris jenkins was a thing of beauty.
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:13 pm
Just the THREAT of a speedster like Scotty Miller, makes us hard to game plan for, with all our other offensive threats.
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:21 pm
an extra week to heal right?
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:24 pm
lokog; As the late Al Davis (Raiders) said “just win baby” Or the late Vince Lombardy said “winning is not the most important thing, it’s the ONLY thing”
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:36 pm
It is going to be Miller Time come Sunday!!!!
January 22nd, 2021 at 1:36 pm
take the bus!!!!!!!!!
January 22nd, 2021 at 2:12 pm
That sucks but Johnson and Miller have both come along very nicely.
Just give Brady time
January 22nd, 2021 at 2:20 pm
Damn that sucks.
January 22nd, 2021 at 2:48 pm
I’m thinking more 2 TE sets…..with Brate catching more balls……Gronk Blocking…….pound the rock…..as Chuckie would say!!!
January 22nd, 2021 at 4:34 pm
All BS, Im thinking slight tear in ACL or he’d go
January 22nd, 2021 at 9:04 pm
AB,,REST UP FOR THE SHOW IN 2 WEEKS! LFG.
January 22nd, 2021 at 9:05 pm
Throw the dude in the back of a van and drive him to Green Bay. Two or three drivers can share the driving responsibility as AB lies down in back with his leg elevated.
January 22nd, 2021 at 9:24 pm
You know, this isn’t that crazy of an idea. If the swelling from flying is the lone concern, put him in the back of a tricked out van with two or three security guys and drive straight through to Wisconsin. After the game, he can hitch a ride on the team plane. If his knee swells, so what? He’s got two weeks to let the swelling subside.
January 22nd, 2021 at 9:43 pm
About 24 hour drive from Tampa… better get started.

Could have used him as a decoy like the Jets did with Maynard in Super Bowl 3 but it’s not like there aren’t plenty of weapons.

It’s not going to matter . It’s the Packers time.
