Heroic Return For Antonio Brown

December 26th, 2021

The sheet says 10 catches for 101 yards, plus 6 Tom Brady smiles and 140,000 sneers by Antonio Brown haters.

After 2 1/2 months on the shelf with an ankle injury, a bone spur and a three-game suspension for providing phony vaccine data, Brown was back today to save the Bucs offense in the absence of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

The Bucs’ passing game today was Brown, Brown and more Brown.

Joe is so grateful Brown isn’t on the Packers, Cardinals or Rams, or any other team trying to steal the Bucs’ crown. Good sense prevailed at One Buc Palace.

What a testament today was to Brown’s fitness and devotion to his craft. Few players can come off the shelf and produce like that.

The little bit of Brady-Brown rust should be all gone and their timing should improve going forward. Hopefully, the Bucs are extra careful with Brown next Sunday on the turf at the Jets.

The Bucs are 6-0 when Brown plays this season. Coincidence? Yeah, right.

    Libs are crying!

    The dance he put on Honey Badger was all I needed to know he was going to be back regardless of injuries. TB-AB-TD

  8. crazybucs_CL Says:

    Great respect for Antonio Brown.
    It was the highlight of today’s game.
    What an exceptional player.

  9. Mike in Missouri Says:

    What do you have to say now Ira? It was just yesterday when Ira was boasting about how the Bucs weren’t missing AB one bit. LOL

  10. HC Grover Says:

    Told ya so!

  11. Nano107 Says:

    He can have another fake card today he put a clinic

  12. firethecannons Says:

    was so glad Arians is all about winning and hired AB and then kept him on the team, he truly is elite, needs to be in the HOF despite shenanigans!

    You said brady is washed up after what 5 minutes in the game

    I mean not a surprise as you have the former qb # in your poster name
    Funny – you never said anything negative at the former guy who crapped the bed regularly. Sometimes 3
    , 4 , 5 turnovers a game. He was always your boo. You always had his backside…and i mean that literally too

    Just curious- are you now the president of the messiah nutsmuggler brigade?
    Oh and go noles !

  14. JimmyJack Says:

    Brown was our entire passing offense for most of the game. Him coming back was a game changer……..Another game changer was Grayson stepping up. Forget Tyler Johnson, forget Scotty, forget Darden…..them guys cant handle a big role. Grayson might be the guy we can look at to step up.

    With our injuries I could see Brady putting in a lot of practice with Grayson and seeing more of him down the stretch. I dont know what Miller was doing today but it looks like Grayson just beat him out on the d egg pth chart..

    But what happened to Perriman? Did we fire him?

  15. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Anybody noticed that TB had exactly 1 passing TD in the last 10 quarters of regulation???? Just thought I’d drop that little nugget out there

  16. Bird Says:

    Yes naplesbucfan he sucks. 😂

    You are the same guy today going after people on open thread for questioning playcalling w negative
    Comments. Yet you literally are on most threads just freaking out every snap and making one negatve post after another. This team sucks this team sucks. Its a real shame you are a buc fan.

  17. Kentucky Buc Says:

    Yeah nipples. Brady needs to stop dropping all those passes. He sucks. Can’t catch for shirt.

  18. Chris@Apple Roof Cleaning Tampa Says:

    I just could not believe how a few here could demand we get rid of Brown.
    He took over this game.

  19. Listnfrmafar Says:

    Where you at SB, still think Evan’s is the teams #1 wr? I guess 7 time pro bowler, SB MVP does mean something after. Stick to field hockey.

  20. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Hey dumb@sses, TB means Tampa Bay…did I write TB12…check yo sheets idiots!!!

  21. JGhotier Says:

    @Kentucky Buc

    Remember when you dissed on the “sheer ignorance” of Bucs fans for being curious as to why AB would only play limited snaps, despite being healthy and the the same ole AB prior to the injury as BA said….and being down your top 2 starting WR’s?!?

    Wasn’t such a dumb curiousness or question when you considered the situation, the statements of the organization and those in the know and knowing the stamina and physical shape AB keeps himself in, was it…..

    Did you see or watch the game today?! You may just not want to blurt out stuff so quickly and readily as you do anymore 😂🤷‍♂️👌 you showed your buffoonery and that maybe the only “sheer ignorance” displayed was on your own doing

    It’s ok though, you’re probably just mad at your Dad and not us….we forgive ya 🤯😂🤯

  22. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Hey Bird,
    show me the threads of me saying this team sucks…I’ll wait….
    Oh yeah that’s right they don’t exist…I’ll only point out when the team has sucked at a given moment but I haven’t said anything of the sort that this team sucks…still waiting by the way. But go ahead and give your ignorant 2 cents.
    If a “true fan” can’t handle a fact that this team hasn’t scored but 1 passing TD in 10 quarters then I guess I ain’t a true fan. Except that I’ve been a fan since 97 and lived through the highs and long long lows, but yeah you do you Bird.

    Like the scene from the old Warriors movie, Bra(clink, clink) Bra (clink clink) Brown, coming out to play ay? Where you at now Oneilbucyall and OralB, Naples, Ben Green & Swamparse when your QB leads a second string RB and receiving core to a 32 point V. Great TEAM win both sides of the ball.

  25. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Bird
    Please show me your copies of the threads when I said “this team sucks”…I’ll wait…
    If a Buc fan can’t express frustration at a particular time in a game and point out facts about our offense over the last 10 quarters without other “Buc fans” getting their panties in a bunch then maybe the other Buc fans are not true fans
    I have been a true fan since 97 and been through the highs and lowest lows, but yeah keep you foolish takes on me coming…still waiting btw

  26. NaplesBucsFan Says:

    Listnfrmafar
    WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?!?!?! When did I ever say a word about Brown and god forbid anybody mentions that Tampa O hasn’t had but 1 passing TD in 10 quarters of football. We wouldn’t want to be real about something would we now…let’s dig a while and put our head in the ground. Great win, lots of work to be done still

  28. Garv Says:

    Phuck the haters. OK to type that? Enough! Some people need to just enjoy the damn win. Unlike a reporter or two who CONSTANTLY go after AB. It’s TIRESOME!!!
    GREAT win today. Whitehead, Gholston and Co. were fabulous and our TB12 was in total command. TRY enjoying THAT!!!

  29. Bojim Says:

    Anonymous. This Lib is a Bucs fan. What makes you so cool? Remind us please.

  30. crazybucs_CL Says:

    Today’s Win; Today’s game; belong to one of the best WRs this game have ever seen:
    Mr. Antonio Brown.
    With chips in his shoulders, from reporters and our local “analysts”, he came out and show the world how unique of a player he is.

  31. Eddie Marz Says:

    Always said Brown is a keeper. Hopefully we’ll have Evans back soon. Grayson and Perriman might just replace Miller and Johnson. Miller and Johnson haven’t progressed like I thought they would. GOBUCS!

  32. DavidBigBucsFan99 Says:

    Anonymous aren’t you supposed to be holding Gumps private parts? Figure you’d be too busy to do anything else

  33. Eddie Marz Says:

    As far as the guy who said Brady has one TD pass the last 10 quarters. And he’s STILL leading the league.

  34. Buc4evr Says:

    I’d like to see the stats, but I bet AB was at least 50 % of the Bucs offense today.

  35. Gordon Brook Says:

    I supported Brown, on every response I made because he is a great player and he is very close with Tom Brady. Tom Brady has great talent in supporting all members of the team. Last year the Bucs won all the games they played at the end of the season, so they won the Super Bowl. This year they can do the same thing again to win the Super Bowl because they are loaded with great players who can win any game if the all play hard together!

    Naplesbucfan

    Dude. Like i said triggered. You responded how many times
    Dude go into any open thread on game days
    I dont need to repost anything. Especially in losses
    Look for yourself

    The sky is falling every series until its not You and francisco are nevative nancies all game long.
    And now tb means tampa bay and not brady although the premise was tb has only thrown one td in the last whatever quarters. Fine thats fair. My bad 😂

    You lay into every player i position group nonstop

  37. Go Bucs! Says:

    Jesus, what’s up with the Scottie/Tyler hate? They are proven in key moments of Super bowl run. It seems like we have to s-p-e-l-l- -i-t- -o-u-t…

  38. Eddie Marz Says:

    Not to change the subject but Tampa’s D hasn’t allowed a touchdown the last two games. Give those guys some prop’s.

  39. orlbucfan Says:

    Screw AB. 12 sacks by the Defense in two games???? Where are they ranked now? No small wonder Bucs are NFC South Champs. Yeow-Hoooo!!!!!!!!!!!

  40. Listnfrmafar Says:

    OralBfan, you don’t score more points than the opposition you don’t win dip shat.

  41. Eddie Marz Says:

    Don’t hate Miller or Johnson. Just don’t see them performing like top receivers. What’s Scotty have three catches all year. It’s not going to keep him on the team, especially if Grayson and Perriman can make big plays. GOBUCS!

    ———————————-
    You average 5-6 sacks a game, yahoo, and your O better do some scoring.

  43. D-Rome Says:

    I laughed out loud seeing Brown shut down a Branch COVIDian from the Fourth estate asking about his suspension.

    It should show how dumb some of the Branch COVIDians are in here calling for Brown to be released. He’s a difference maker. End of story.

  44. brooks Says:

    love the post game interview, will be his last season here to much drama

  45. Listnfrmafar Says:

    OralBfan, up until Saints, Bucs D was letting up 23 points a game on average. That means offense in the hole 23 points before kick off. I guess those sacks weren’t exactly getting it done.

  46. bucschamp Says:

    AB = very good football player

  47. David Says:

    So glad he is back with Godwin out. With him and Evans in the playoffs and Johnson, Grayson, Miller and Gronk & Brate… I’m starting to feel better.
    I just hope LVD, Shaq, & Winfield are OK for the playoffs
