Tom Brady Mentions “Mike & Chris & Gronk & Leonard” As Teammates He’s Closely Bonded To
December 19th, 2021
For those with a Buccaneers free agency big board in their living room (Joe’s with you!), pay attention.
Tom Brady sat down with Casey Phillips of Buccaneers.com recently for a 14-minute chat on all things Bucs and Brady.
Plenty of clichés were flowing but Brady did name some names when he was talking about the deep personal bonds he has with teammates, the kind he’ll cherish long after his football life ends.
Of course, Brady referenced Rob Gronkowski, but he spoke of a specific foursome as well, “Mike and Chris and Gronk and Leonard.”
Over the years, Joe has learned that names matter when players and team authorities are talking. So Joe was a little intrigued by the foursome Brady chose.
That doesn’t mean, for example, that Brady doesn’t care about Ryan Jensen, Lavonte David or Antonio Brown, but the names that came first and flowed smoothly were the four above.
Chris Godwin and Leonard “Lombardi Lenny” Fournette are free agents after this season. Anyone really think the Bucs will let them walk?
Joe doesn’t. And it’s going to be damn interesting seeing how the Bucs handle offers to Fournette. Remember, Bucco Bruce Arians has shared very strong opinions about paying running backs big contracts.

Thar “bond” is crucial on longevity of this season run, specially if we going all the way. Glad to hear that; great!!
December 19th, 2021 at 1:50 pm
So you’re saying it’s ALL of his current starting skill position players, eh…
…well can’t say that’s a surprise!
What’s more surprising is that none of the starting O-Line were mentioned (the same O-Line who keep Brady clean and who many say is THE best, if not, one of the best starting O-Lines in all of Football)
December 19th, 2021 at 2:08 pm
^^^^
Thats cause they are the big ugglies. Oline have their own position group/ big dudes that like to eat everything. Of course they hang out with each other …bbq a while pig And dont stop eating until its done 😂
Brady deals with receivers and tight ends in practice mostly. So of course there is a bond there. They are around each other all the time.
December 19th, 2021 at 2:11 pm
Can the Bucs pay Godwin, Lenny, Jensen, Carlton knowing the future, the three Ws (White, Winfield, Wirfs) will come a calling and who knows if Trask is the guy or will they have to get a FA if TB calls it (may i suggest another W (Russell Wilson)
December 19th, 2021 at 2:21 pm
Cmon Lions!
December 19th, 2021 at 2:23 pm
Arizona looks like they are about to collapse.
December 19th, 2021 at 2:24 pm
I thought Jensen would be first
December 19th, 2021 at 2:27 pm
Yeah Jerry. Kyler isn’t doing me any favors in one of my FF leagues
December 19th, 2021 at 2:31 pm
Have to play physical tonight. Match the saints physicality.
December 19th, 2021 at 2:31 pm
I wouldn’t come victory for the lions yet. They’re chokers.
December 19th, 2021 at 2:33 pm
I hope Brady does not have too much say in who gets signed or else the team will turn into all offense and no defense!😀
December 19th, 2021 at 2:34 pm
Puhleeze. Bring it back next year Brady. Godwin gets to write his own check but Tom just makes their decisions much easier if he comes back for a 3rd year. I guess let’s just keep it one day at a time and beat the Aints tonight. We tend to have weak showings primetime against the Aints. I feel this one will be different.
December 19th, 2021 at 2:36 pm
Unlikely the Lions hang on but no matter what panic should be setting in for the AZ Cards faithful.
December 19th, 2021 at 2:54 pm
Lions are still the Lions. Driving and they fumbled. AZ down 2 scores gets the ball back at the 50. No way the Lions hang on. They don’t have the moxie.
December 19th, 2021 at 3:01 pm
Since I said that, the Lions will definitely win. You’re welcome
December 19th, 2021 at 3:04 pm
Stupid Packers again get lucky, get to face yet another backup QB. What a bunch of garbage.
December 19th, 2021 at 3:13 pm
AZ getting their arse kicked by Lions
December 19th, 2021 at 3:16 pm
I thought Godwin should walk at first but he’s essential to this offense. Pay the man.
December 19th, 2021 at 3:20 pm
enjoying this Lions game! Goff just got a roughing passer call! Fun 3 score game in 4th quarter
December 19th, 2021 at 3:23 pm
27-6 Lions up, start of 4th qtr.
If Cardinals lose this, they are in trouble. They will be tied with the Rams with the Colts and Cowboys still to play.
December 19th, 2021 at 3:24 pm
Thank you Detroit. Just keep scoring and running clock. Wow, that’s a shocker.
December 19th, 2021 at 3:25 pm
Please Detroit, hang on and help my Bucs out!
December 19th, 2021 at 3:26 pm
Somebody made an excellent point(dont remember if it was Joe or some NFL guy) that Tom Brady has put in a lot of work with Fournette and gotten him to become a bigger part of the offense.
Kinda foolish to think the Bucs will handicapp Brady and make him start all over again working with a new RB……If Brady is our QB next year Fournette will be our RB.
As Bucs fans we have watched Fournette become a much better player under Brady. He is clearly a much much better pass catcher then he was last year. Him and Brady put in a lot of work to get to this point……….When we bring Leonard back next year he might be even better!!!
December 19th, 2021 at 3:26 pm
The Lions are the Lions, I’d wait until 0:00 before I’d start celebrating a victory. They’re the type of team that finds ways to lose. Obviously I hope the Lions hold on, but really all we should be concerned with is getting the stupid Packers to lose, which isn’t going to happen because each week they get some BS lucky garbage. This week, they get the Ravens without Lamar. Next week, even if the Browns have guys back from COVID, they’re going to be coming off a very short week, and likely still missing a bunch of guys.
December 19th, 2021 at 3:30 pm
JimmyJack – RB’s a dime a dozen. There’s no way you can keep Fournette unless the market is lower than expected, or if the Bucs want to do some tricky accounting, like a 7-year deal or something and spread out his cap hit.
Personally I’m OK with all the trickery we need to do to keep this team together, and everyone should be onboard with that — AND understand once Brady leaves, the team goes into the dark ages to pay for everything we’re getting now. If anyone isn’t OK with that, then they’re morons, but they also need to jump off the bandwagon right now.
Unlike the fake ‘cap hell’ excuse that Guden used in order to run off Sapp and Lynch so he could sign old washed up Charlie Garner, Tim Brown and every 35+ injured offensive lineman on earth, once Brady is gone the team is going to be in real cap hell for at least a couple of seasons. Again, I don’t care in the least, it’s the deal with the devil we’re OK’ing right up front. I just don’t want to hear people complaining in 3 years about how Licht screwed up the cap. It’s not a screw-up, he’s doing all of this on purpose.
December 19th, 2021 at 3:32 pm
That’s a TD by Wesley.
December 19th, 2021 at 3:34 pm
Learned something new today. Not a TD
December 19th, 2021 at 3:35 pm
Tom and Bucs getting ready with this Lions game. LFG!!!
December 19th, 2021 at 3:38 pm
Rod Munch. RBs are a dime a dozen? Did you read that from a bumper sticker or is that a hastag?
Either way its nonsense. If that was true then the Bucs would of had on RB worth mentioning over the past 15 years.
December 19th, 2021 at 3:53 pm
LET’S GO RAVENS!!!
LET’S GO RAVENS!!
LET’S GO RAVENS!!!
LET’S GO RAVENS!!!
LET’S GO RAVENS!!!
December 19th, 2021 at 3:56 pm
Wow. That should do it. Det beats Arizona and they beat them badly. I’m not going to give the Packers the win but it would be shocking if the Ravens pull it off.

Lets see, Doug Martin, LeGarrette Blount, waiver wire pickup Leonard Fournette.
December 19th, 2021 at 4:01 pm
OK, now I can have fun mocking the Cardinals.
But I don’t have any hatred for the Cards, I just don’t care about them, so it’s hard to work up any feelings.
But the stupid Packers… I hate those pieces of s…. One of my fondest memories was explaining to a bunch of Packers fans, in the old stadium, what exactly a meat ‘Packer’ does to make a dollar.

I’d have rather had the Lions save their ‘shocking’ upset for week 18 vs the Packers.
BUT I’ll go download some Cardinals sports talk post-game radio, it’s always fun listening to the morons that call sports radio having complete meltdowns.
December 19th, 2021 at 4:07 pm
So Cardinals dropping to 4th seed. Cowboys moving up to the 3rd.
December 19th, 2021 at 4:13 pm
Must be a slow news day
Trying to make a story out of nothing
Sad
December 19th, 2021 at 4:13 pm
Rod Munch so in 15 years you can find 2 really good running seasons from Doug Martin and 1 good season from Blount.
All the other 12 years was nothing but crap at the RB position. Clearly not a dime a dozen. And we paid a big price for Doug Martin with a high pick(1st or 2nd round, cant remember), so not a dime a doxen.
Blount we basically found off the streets. Feel free to lets me know the dozens of L.Blounts teams are signing for nothing who are blowing up all around the league.
December 19th, 2021 at 4:14 pm
I think this year was to look at Rojo and Lenny to see who gets a long-term contract. I believe Rojo is gone
I also think Antonio Brown is going to be gone (unless he’s willing to sign for cheap) because they absolutely have to sign Godwin. He’s awesome and he’s young.
On another note the Buccaneers just need to keep taking care of business. The Cardinals just got spanked by the lions!!!?! , anything can happen. And there is no doubt in my mind that Packers will lose one more
December 19th, 2021 at 4:18 pm
The Lions made the Cardinals look mortal. Cards are very beatable in my opinion.
December 19th, 2021 at 4:33 pm
Go Ravens! Arizona just laid a blooper to Detroit. Now the Bucs gotta clean it up and win tonight!
December 19th, 2021 at 4:35 pm
Big play here Ravens
December 19th, 2021 at 4:35 pm
JimmyJack – Out of top 3 RBs over the last 10 years, 2 were free.
That’s the point, dummy. They’re a dime a dozen. You can get RB’s for free. I wasn’t for wasting the RB pick on Ronnie Jones, I wasn’t for wasting the RB pick on Vaughn. The dopes that were are people like you.
Instead I WAS for signing Fournette. IE, RB’s are a dime a dozen, you can find them for free.
It’s a passing league. Fournette isn’t doing anything special, he’s just hanging onto the ball, and taking advantage of what the offensive line is giving him. That’s not a knock, it’s smart. But you don’t need to pay big money to get someone to do that.
Meanwhile dopes like you every year want to waste a top pick on a new RB, and give them $10m/year after one good season.
December 19th, 2021 at 4:36 pm
Huntley is incredibly nervous out there. Kick the FG. He has nerves and can’t throw right now.
December 19th, 2021 at 4:36 pm
Ouch
December 19th, 2021 at 4:37 pm
Yup. Dumb Harbaugh. You can tell the kid wasn’t ready for that moment. So much for the fast start. Just like the Chargers passing up like 12 points to get none. Stupid decision. Anyway. Forget this dream. It ain’t happening.

———–
Ideally you don’t do longterm deals with RB’s since they flame out so quickly, maybe 3-years max, ideally 2-years. Last offseason, once it became clear the market wasn’t there for Fournette, I posted here that I wish the Bucs used his lack of options as a way to get him on a cheap 2-year deal. How awesome would that have looked now?
But, with that said, it wouldn’t totally surprize me if Rojo came back on a cheap deal near the vet minimum. This year has really destroyed his value, and if Fournette isn’t back, he already knows the offense and would be someone I’d think the Bucs would want back for that reason. That is assuming that Vaughn isn’t wowing in practice, which I doubt he is.
December 19th, 2021 at 4:43 pm
Good job Ravens D
+15yards
December 19th, 2021 at 4:49 pm
That Andrews is unbelievable
December 19th, 2021 at 4:51 pm
Mark Andrews can play for me.
Go Ravens!
December 19th, 2021 at 4:53 pm
Rod Munch. If we are just looking at 1000 yard seasons Fournette aint even there yet so lets back the train up and see how he finishes before annointing him as some 10M dollar RB.
If you see teams out there finding 1000 yard rushers on the streets for league minum please let me know. The Bucs found 2 in 15 years, those are terrible odds.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:02 pm
Hold on JJ. You can’t just skew up the numbers for Lenny. He has far less attempts than most #1 RB’s because we throw so much. He’s averaging 4.5 yards a carry and lets not gloss past his 421 yards receiving or his 10TD’s. He’s earning his paycheck and he’s just proven to be more reliable than ROJO. ROJO had an opportunity to seize the #1 job long ago but leaves a lot to be desired blocking and catching the football. ROJO is faster and probably a better runner. Lenny does it all though.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:04 pm
Rod Munch – Lenny was not a “waiver wire pickup”….he cleared waivers and then we signed him to a 1 yr deal
December 19th, 2021 at 5:16 pm
Well I’ll be….Ravens hanging tough.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:16 pm
Usually I say GOBUCS! But I’m going to switch it up a little. Go Ravens!
December 19th, 2021 at 5:18 pm
Cmurda agree. The recieving numbers for Fournette are a big and the main reason he should be resigned. He is a big part of this offense.
He should defiently get a raise next year but if we are talking 10M(is that a lot?) that when im probably gonna wanna see 1000K Rushing.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:27 pm
Ravens defense is disappointing. The Raves O has put 3 long drives on the Pack with 2 of them going for TD’s but the Raves defense isn’t even making Rodgers sweat. There is zero chance that Huntley will be able to have a chance in a shootout.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:31 pm
Super disappointing. Davante just put the same move he puts on film every week. You can’t get beat outside by the WR. Ravens defense will not allow the upset
December 19th, 2021 at 5:31 pm
If the stupid Ravens aren’t going to win this game, they could at least stomp on Rodgers toe.

——-
Ravens defense this year hasn’t been all that good, plus they’re missing their top defensive back. The Ravens will need to control the clock and keep scoring on offense. Let it come down to Tucker making a kick to win, I’ll take my chances with that.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:34 pm
Agreed Rod.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:35 pm
I don’t care who you are and how good Davante is, that was pathetic by the corner. He had help in the middle and let DA just dance right around him. Cheat outside young man. What are you doing?
December 19th, 2021 at 5:39 pm
Arizona loss will be good only if we win out. Because if we loose a game, Rams win out and win their division then they ll have the tiebreaker against us. So Go Bucs
December 19th, 2021 at 5:40 pm
Even with the backup in, this is probably the best chance for a GB loss. Browns, Vikings, Lions? Hmm maybe. Lions are putting better games on film but I think GB runs the table. Lets hope for the Ravens to sneak a W.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:40 pm
JimmyJack – I’d love to have Fournette back next year, the issue is money, where are you getting it from?
The Bucs FA list…
Godwin
Gronk
Fournette
Jensen
Davis
Whitehead
Cappa
Suh
Gholston
JPP
AB
Stinnie
Minter
I’m not sure how you’re paying a RB more than a few million at the absolute most, so I’m not sure how you keep Fournette.
If the Bucs want to do that salary cap trickery, sign guys to all 7-year deals with big signing bonuses and ruin the cap for years, but down the road, again, I’m A-OK with that if it keeps the window open. But most GM’s are really afraid of that because it means they’re getting fired when the team is 3-14 the year after Brady leaves, an still have more years in cap hell on top of it.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:42 pm
So on what date did the 10 yard off coverage officially become NFL policy? Looks like Smitty was ahead of his time…
December 19th, 2021 at 5:43 pm
I hope if the Ravens are punching Rodgers toes at the bottom of that pile.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:47 pm
Go Harbaugh?
Dayum, I gotta be drunk to say that.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:48 pm
Matty Ice with the BIG TIME sack/fumble…
December 19th, 2021 at 5:49 pm
I love the dude but unless he’s willing to do some fairly serious restructuring, I think we have to let Jensen walk. JPP is a possible retirement situation and if not it would need to be a slightly team friendly deal. AB gone unless extremely team friendly deal. I just doubt it. Suh probably gone. Gronk depends on Brady. Cappa, Gholston, Godwin, Lenny, Davis, Gholston, Stinnie and Minter all should hopefully be re-signed.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:50 pm
I said Gholston twice. I guess I’m a big fan of his and I am.
December 19th, 2021 at 5:52 pm
Gholston is the most undervalued member of the D no
Doubt.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:01 pm
cmurda – I actually don’t love Jensen nearly as much as everyone else does, but he’s still a good center, and Brady knows him and is comfortable with him. He’s a guy you have to resign.
JPP is likely gone, unless he’s super cheap and just takes back-up money. I’d like to keep him, but I don’t see that happening.
Brady is back next year, so no way that Gronk isn’t, unless he retires, and he doesn’t seem like he’s retiring.
Davis needs to be resigned if at all possible, he’s the best corner on the team, and you don’t really have a replacement for him, as we’re seeing this year.
Cappa will likely be too expensive to keep, but Stinnie has performed well. If I’m the Bucs, I try to get Stinnie to sign a cheap multi-year deal.
Whitehead you need to resign, he’s another value guy who I think isn’t going to get paid what he’s actually worth, so the Bucs need to be the ones getting that value.
Godwin is a real question mark. I really want him back, but again, I don’t know how you afford everything. If Godwin does not come back, then it means you really need to keep AB. I believe the idea this year was that Tyler Johnson would get a look playing in Godwin’s spot, but he hasn’t done much, so I think that idea is over.
I mean it’s going to be really difficult to keep the team together, but if the Glazers are willing to shell out a ton of bonus money, you can spread out all these deals and backload them with guarantees, and get everyone back again like we did last offseason.
It really all just comes down to Brady. If at the end of the year, he’s still healthy, he’s coming back and father time hasn’t caught up with him, you sacrifice your future to try to keep winning now.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:07 pm
I agree on Gholston, I had him in my write-up before but it was getting super long so I cut out that part, with him and Suh.
What’s amazing about Gholston is that he played out his contract without getting cut. Because of the way Licht did his original extension, with a salary that went up, then down, he became really hard to cut in the one year that it made sense to do so, then over the last 2 years, he’s become a huge value.
The issue though is cost. I don’t know how he’s getting less than $5m a year, and I’d assume he’d get more on the open market.
It’s going to be interesting to see if the Bucs stay fully bought in or start to try to weasel out of the Brady pact with the devil. Personally, I ride the satanic lightning as long as possible and deal with the consequences later.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:08 pm
Rod Munch I should have clarified that bringing back Fournette really depends on if Brady stays at QB next year.
That big list of free agents you named really depends on Brady. If he stays I am wanting to sign many more names on that list. If Brady retires its a totally different plan.
The Bucs are probably gonna do exactly what the Saints are doing. Hire a cheap crappy/inexperienced QB(maybe Trask)for one season while you get Bradys contract off the books. Then you buy or trade for a big name QB…….You watch the Saints will go buy a real QB this offseason.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:11 pm
I’m shocked, the Packers get another BS call that benefits them.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:13 pm
More pathetic NFL officiating. A phantom PI call by a ref that THOUGHT he saw something. The NFL is too scared to make their refs look bad and review penalties which should be able to be done without delay. Of course right after that play the Packers scored on a pick play that should have been flagged.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:13 pm
Absolute BS pass interference call against the Ravens. It’s calls like that which give people absolutely no confidence in the integrity of the NFL. It is an absolutely HUGE HUGE HUGE call that turns a 4th and 9 into a first down. How can something like that not be incredibly scrutinized? I mean, it was not even close to a PI call. Disgusting.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:16 pm
JimmyJack – If Brady isn’t back, then you already have your crappy/cheap QB on the team in Trask. Also if Brady isn’t back, then there’s no reason to bring back the expensive veterans.
….unless you just slide into another QB, like, say Aaron Rodgers. But I’m not sure how you get Rodgers either since, unlike Brady, he’s not going to cheap deal, he’s going to want market value.
But Brady is under contract for next year and I haven’t heard anything about him not wanting to come back again, so I think you bring everyone back that you can and do all the accounting tricks you can get away with — BUT leave open the possibility he’s back in 2024 as well, just to cover your rear end.
But if Brady isn’t back, and you can’t swing a deal for Rodgers, or lets say Watson, then just go ahead and blow it up and get your rebuild started. The team does have a decent number of young pieces, so keep all those guys, but all the other guys I’d jettison in a rebuild since the team isn’t winning a SB under Trask or whatever career backup they can bring in.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:19 pm
Every team gets screwed by the refs, some teams seem to benefit more than others, but come on, garbage calls happen every game lol and every fan knows it lolololol.
The good teams absorb the crappy calls and win and the bad teams usually do not. Lololol
December 19th, 2021 at 6:20 pm
cmurda – I turned off the Bears/Packers game last week when, on a punt return, Chicago gets a fumble, returns it for a TD, and the refs throw a flag saying a gunner went out of bounds on purpose and didn’t try to get back inbounds hard enough. Had literally nothing to do with the play AND the guy did run out of bounds, barely, and DID get right back in bounds, just as you’re allowed to do in the rules. It was a complete BS penalty that ruined what was a close game. At that time, I just said the fix is in, and turned off the TV. If the Bucs didn’t play tonight, I’d do the same thing, since the fix is in, and the Ravens are losing.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:31 pm
Aaron is just easily abusing this defense. By the way. How ridiculous is it that you can challenge that there was 12 men on defense but you can’t challenge any penalty calls. Dumb.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:34 pm
I did the exact same thing Rod at the exact same time. That was as bad as leaping against us on the Monday Night game which the NFL made sure was an amazing comeback for Peyton Manning. There was also the fact that the Colts recovered an onside kick which never bounced. Clearly a penalty. Meh. Nevermind. What can you do? The refs suck and that’s that. We can run the table but the NFL darling GB Packers will be assured the #1 seed.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:38 pm
Cmurda refs gave them a questionable PI that resulted in a td drive. It was 3rd down as well on that PI. Refs sometimes tend to bail out rodgers.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:39 pm
I am not afraid of this packers team. I feel we match up well with them. It would be tough to win in lambeau but it’s not impossible.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:39 pm
Ballgame play right here..
December 19th, 2021 at 6:40 pm
Yeah FG. They alley ooped that TD drive. The thing is it wasn’t even close to PI.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:40 pm
Can’t let that happen.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:40 pm
Ravens defense is hopeless Jmark. There never was a chance. They can’t get off the field on 3rd down the whole game.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:40 pm
Ravens look washed…
December 19th, 2021 at 6:41 pm
I used to respect Aaron Rodgers. Then I saw the commercial with the man bun.
Just blitz the wimp, every freaking play.
GO Harbaugh!
December 19th, 2021 at 6:41 pm
Do you think I’d be used to it, after watching the Buccaneers every week.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:42 pm
GB averaging 9 yards on first down and simple passes over the middle is killing the Ravens
December 19th, 2021 at 6:44 pm
Ravens can’t get off the field on 3rd down.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:45 pm
Too easy. Ravens need a td drive now.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:45 pm
Ravens are done now. It’s all on the Bucs to make this happen.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:45 pm
Matty Ice has had the ball inside the 49ers 10 yard line on three possessions and the Falcons have ZERO points to show for it. LOL!
MATTY ICE
December 19th, 2021 at 6:45 pm
I can’t stand Rodgers. I hope he chokes again.

Ravens are keeping pace, have a 4th and 1 from the Packers, what 20, and then the refs call a completely BS false start when the players are still getting set, makes the Ravens settle for a FG, and so they no longer are keeping pace and it’s a 2-score game. Sort of how the NFL drew it up.

Nah/ Move on. This game was over when Lamar was ruled out and probably before that. The Browns are at least nastier on defense but their offense is weak. We need to just focus on taking care of our business because if we can get through this game tonight with a win, we are sitting pretty for at least the #2 seed.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:48 pm
Packers don’t really scare me much. We marched up with them well last year both meetings, and I don’t think they are as good as their record. They’ve had tons of luck. It just sucks that for two years in a row we are going to have beat them in Lambeau to get through the playoffs. And the weather may do us in.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:48 pm
Ravens getting no pressure on Rodgers. Not going to stand much of a chance beating GB like that.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:49 pm
I’m hoping the Ravens are poor losers and just start stomping on Rodgers feet after every play. The Glazers should have VENMO’d some money to some Ravens scrub to make it happen.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:50 pm
Cmurda i will take that. They need to step up it tonight.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:51 pm
The ravens can’t go 3 and out here.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:52 pm
Awful possession by the ravens. Game is over. 🤦♂️ How lucky can a team be? That has been the 2021 green bay packers.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:52 pm
Don’t know why they went for it. Idiots.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:52 pm
This game is too big for Hundley.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:53 pm
They didn’t. They went 4 and out. That team is not good.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:53 pm
The rout is on now in Baltimore, a failed fire drill on 4th down lol
December 19th, 2021 at 6:55 pm
4th and 5 and you throw to the RB who is 9 yards behind the LOS?
What an idiot. You just throw the ball up for grabs, you don’t try to be safe on 4th down. That’s what people never understood about Winston. In that situation he would give you a chance, would put the ball in play, he didn’t worry about his stats. Meanwhile the d-bags who just care about their competition percentage and TO stats will ‘protect’ the ball by giving you zero chance at winning.
December 19th, 2021 at 6:56 pm
It looks like the Bucs will have to win 2 road games to be champs.
1St round bye is good to have but whatever.
Put up or shut for the Bucs.
GO BUCS!!!!
December 19th, 2021 at 6:57 pm
Cleveland, Minny, and Detroit are now all that stands between the Packers and the #1 seed.

———-
Now they get to play the Browns, who have had half their team out with COVID, coming off a short week, when they were supposed to have had an extra day.
They played the Cards who were missing their QB, they get the Ravens with a backup, they likely get the Browns with a backup, they get to play the Bears and Lions twice.
The only good part is that if it does come down to TB @ GB, the Bucs will have played some tough games against real QBs, where as the Packers will have got there playing backups. Hopefully that costs them in their first game of the playoffs.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:10 pm
Winfield Junior is out?
Along with Sherman, Dean, and Edwards still.
SMH 🤦♂️ Still waiting for the secondary to get healthy
December 19th, 2021 at 7:12 pm
David
I hear yah. Not good
At least both their tackles are out. And of course coach
December 19th, 2021 at 7:16 pm
What? Why is AW Jr out?
December 19th, 2021 at 7:17 pm
lol maybe life in Baltimore? Hope so, go Ravens
December 19th, 2021 at 7:19 pm
Lets fn go ravens!!!!
December 19th, 2021 at 7:19 pm
Whitehead playing so thats good
December 19th, 2021 at 7:23 pm
No way Harbaugh goes for 2 if the Ravens score right? They have to worry about giving Aaron too much time.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:23 pm
Andrews with Gronk Ribs
December 19th, 2021 at 7:23 pm
Winfield being out really hurts. Fricken Edward man! This back end needs to get right. Saints don’t have a lot of fire power for WR so hopefully we can get this done! Let’s go ravens!!
December 19th, 2021 at 7:26 pm
Are they going for 2?
December 19th, 2021 at 7:27 pm
Triple coverage on Andrews lol
December 19th, 2021 at 7:27 pm
Of course.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:28 pm
Good effort by Huntley but he’s not going to convert with that terrible and obvious playcall.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:28 pm
Complete and total idiots.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:29 pm
Harbaugh hates the Bucs. He went for two knowing it wouldn’t work just to stick it to them
December 19th, 2021 at 7:29 pm
Only chance is to run the ball. Harbaugh should be kicking himself for not kicking the FG earlier.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:29 pm
Stupid!….2 for 7 at 2 pt attempts, shouldve tied it with the extra point….the D was holding and rodgers is getting aggravated…oh well
December 19th, 2021 at 7:29 pm
It makes zero ZERO sense to go for two in this situation
December 19th, 2021 at 7:29 pm
What complete and total morons. Everyone knew right where the ball was going – and if you’re worried about the Packers scoring, then it doesn’t matter if you’re up 1.
Just pure stupidity.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:30 pm
There’s ballsy and there’s stupid.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:31 pm
The Baltimore big tease Oh well, time to beat the slimy Saints
December 19th, 2021 at 7:31 pm
Real SHOCKER, the refs throw the flag on the onside kick just in case the Ravens would have gotten the ball.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:31 pm
Please for the love of god someone step on Rodgers foot before this game ends.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:32 pm
It’s a one point game, why are the Ravens not even trying to dive for the ball there and not using their timeout?
What losers.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:32 pm
Harbaugh is famous for overcomplicating the obvious. Very good coach but you are at home and it is too risky to have your QB throw. He has had the yips near the goalline. It was just dumb on every front. Really dumb. FG earlier in the game instead of going on an unlikely 4th down conversion from the 3 was the difference in the game. Harbaugh is a meh coach these days.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:33 pm
Packers aren’t scary at all.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:35 pm
No the packers aren’t scary. But they are going to get the 1st round bye.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:35 pm
Packers lucked out again thanks to John harbaugh.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:35 pm
Jerry i think they can be one and done.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:35 pm
Yes Packers are not BUT neither is the Bucs beat up secondary
December 19th, 2021 at 7:38 pm
I’m not as sure as I was that they beat the Browns next week. The Browns will be desperate. Anyway, screw the Pack. Lets go Bucs!
December 19th, 2021 at 7:38 pm
August 1976 Buc give me a break. Give me brady over Rodgers. That’s the equalizer. Packers have had a lot of luck. Sooner or later it will run out.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:41 pm
The Browns will probably still be missing a bunch of players and having to play the Packers on a short week. They’re not beating the Packers.
The Vikings already got their yearly win vs the Packers, they’re not winning two in a row.
…and the stupid Lions got their big upset of the year against the stupid Cardinals, so they’re not going to get another big upset.
Packers got the 1st round bye wrapped up.
The Bucs need to just worry about themselves and actually beat the Saints during a regular season game.
December 19th, 2021 at 7:42 pm
What are you talking about, the Pack is not scary but neither is the secondary get real Fantasy land luck talk.
Brady threw 3 ints last year in the second half of NFC title game.
The Defense is what was the difference maker last year.
Everyone saw it.
GO BUCS!!!!
December 19th, 2021 at 7:47 pm
People that hate Brady say the same thing about him, like is said about Rodgers “Oh Brady gets all the calls, Brady is so lucky,
Yeah right “Fantasy land talk”
GO BUCS!!!!!
December 19th, 2021 at 7:54 pm
August 1976 Buc he still got his team the big lead. Get Rodgers playing from behind and you gonna beat him. Rodgers is a great frontrunner.
December 19th, 2021 at 8:03 pm
I would take the GOAT and 7 time Champ any day over Rodgers, a 1 time champ and his 1-4 record in NFC title games.
But Rodgers is not doing what he is doing because of luck.
The Bucs biggest problem is their own defense, mainly the secondary, that the starters have played together for only 1 quarter of the Dallas game.
GO BUCS!!!!!
December 19th, 2021 at 8:08 pm
God I hate John Harbaugh.
What. A. Moron.
Hope he gets fired.
Green Bay gauranteed 1st round bye now.
December 19th, 2021 at 8:25 pm
Easy win let’s go bucs !!
December 19th, 2021 at 8:30 pm
Did Darden go to Slip & Fall University?
