Buccaneers 28, Jets 24

January 2nd, 2022

Well, nobody can call these Buccaneers boring.

Joe wishes they had been today.

A must-win game for playoff seeding nearly became the biggest upset of the NFL season. The bumbling Jets were the more physical and aggressive team but the Bucs survived.

Tom Brady calmly engineered a 93-yard drive with no timeouts and threw his 40th touchdown pass of the season to Cyril Grayson — Cyril Grayson! — for the critical victory to push the Bucs to 12-4.

Grayson finished with six catches for 81 yards. Wow!

The Bucs survived against the NFL’s worst defense. Joe still can’t believe how this game went down.

Major love to Rob Gronkowski for a big day, and to Mike Evans having a successful comeback from his bad hamstring and COVID.

Le’Veon Bell showed his value and man, this is one weird Bucs team. And that’s not even considering the epic Antonio Brown meltdown.

More love for Antoine Winfield’s game-saving tackle and a lively day for Anthony Nelson. Devin White, please come back soon.

    He is the GOAT

  2. WalkdaPlank Says:

    Any basketball fans out there remember when Scottie Pippen quit on his team because Phil Jackson wanted Toni Kukoc to hit the game winning shot? And Kukoc actually hit it and won the game and Scottie looked like a fool?

    Same energy with AB. And his replacement Cyril Grayson came in and won the game.

    Unreal

  3. Casual Observer Says:

    Who needs AB when we have Grayson?

  4. Doctor Stroud Says:

    AB is gone…or “de-activated”.

  5. acey Says:

    ABs season has gotta be done. There just can’t be a reasonable excuse for walking out on Tom after everything he’s done for him when the game isn’t in hand

  6. Lamarcus Says:

    AB….. Y’all lost credibility backing a guy like this to whoever wanted him back. We dodge a bullet but come on man. He needs to go

  7. Stop@gmail.com Says:

    THE IMMORTAL CYRIL GRAYSON!

  8. cmurda Says:

    That was awesome. Of course the overhyped Rams won at the end too. They played a team worse than the Jets because they are ravaged by Covid and barely won.

  9. Pats fan Says:

    Man is really the goat Tb12 never count him out

  10. MadMax Says:

    Wow, got home from work in time to catch the final 7 mins….i’ll admit, i was down and pessimistic about us to my coworkers….dont even know what the AB thing is. I know BA, he’s probably going to be jetted out of there.

  11. View from 132 Says:

    They’ll have to add “Idiot receiver quits mid-game” to Madden 2023.

  12. MadMax Says:

    And yeah, seriously, Grayson is a beast these last few games….bye bye AB….it didnt have to be this way.

  13. Sanford Salzman Says:

    Antonio Brown is a great football player. But he’s either insane or stupid or (probably) both. I don’t care about his football ability any more, It’s time for him to go.

  14. orlbucfan Says:

    If. Down ain’t cut loose after the crap he pulled today, BA needs his brain examined. Naturally, all the boob tube shows is Gronkowski. Big whoop.

  15. Bird Says:

    Orlbucfan

    Hahahahha. She is still saying brady sucks. I mean what a dumb broad
    The defense has played 5 good games the past 2 years. Maybe 6
    She always says defense won the game when they play good rarely

    Now the team bailed out brady . She literally said screw brady. Brady is a joke. Brady was a comedy its so bad
    Brady threw for the ver 400 and 3. One pick that was thrown as a jump to mike but thats on brady for sure.

    What an absolute moron orlbucfan is
    Please leave. No one likes you

    Bucsanthem

    Why dont you go back into hiding. You and orlbucfan should move in together
    You all are the worst trashy fake fans on here

  16. orlbucfan Says:

    Brown not Down.

  17. unbelievable Says:

    What an ugly win.

  18. orlbucfan Says:

    Hey Bird, go eat some bird seed. You don’t faze nor intimidate me, yahoo.

  19. Tampadeuce21 Says:

    Pathetic ….ab will be flipping burgers while flipping out here soon. What a psycho.

  20. orlbucfan Says:

    Hey Bird, how long you been a so-called fan?

  21. Derek Says:

    Can not believe they pulled out that win!!

  22. Rod Munch Says:

    What a beautiful win. Nothing better than building up a bad team, making them think they’re going to win, then yanking it out from under them. I love it!

  23. PassingThru Says:

    As I said in the game thread, I have a bad feeling that in 5 years we’ll be reading stories about a penniless Antonio Brown living under a highway bridge.

  24. orlbucfan Says:

    Classic Cardiac Bucs. I am proud of the entire team.

  25. PassingThru Says:

    Tommy Boy is unreal, he has ice water in his veins.

  26. SteveK Says:

    Goat just tossed 40 TDs and nailed down his mvp.

  27. orlbucfan Says:

    Why is Brown even in football?

  28. Rod Munch Says:

    The team has never won 12 games in a season before! What an amazing year!

  29. orlbucfan Says:

    Rod, they were 12-4 the year they went to their first. SB.

  30. JimmyJack Says:

    Wooo Hoo what a game!!

    That drive led by Brady is a defining moment as a Buccaneer.

    Gutsy effort all around. Cyril in the last 3 games has taken an iconic role……and just in time since AB decided to kick himself off a contending team.

    GO BUUCSS!!!!!

  31. Pruritus Ani Says:

    That is why he is the GOAT, and will always be the GOAT.

  32. Lesko_Brandon Says:

    If we will win playoff games like this, I’ll take it any time !

  33. Rod Munch Says:

    orlbucfan – oh yeah. Oooops.

  34. WTH Says:

    I’m in the hospital right now. That game gave me a hard attack.

    WTH happened??? Why didn’t we beat those clowns by 30 points??????

  35. cmurda Says:

    AB wasn’t this same guy when he was in the league the first several years. Somebody mentioned it before. That hit by Burfict changed everything. He started falling off the rails. It’s sad to see because we watch guys like V Jax become somebody they aren’t. I don’t think AB is a bad dude at all but I think his brain is not right from all the shots taken. Unfortunately I can’t see this having an okay conclusion. Brady just verifies his GOAT status with every game. True icewater in his veins. The good news out of a rough deal with AB is that Grayson continues to make the absolute most of his opportunities. He is emerging.

  36. WTH Says:

    Hats off to BELL and GRAYSON (and the GOAT).

    Bell had some clutch plays and dude hasn’t played in forever. Great decision signing him! He’s bada$$.

  37. WTH Says:

    cmurda:

    LOL. Last week everyone said AB was Jebus and could walk on water.

  38. Craig Says:

    The players weren’t that bad, the offensive and defensive schemes were worse than most high schools run.

    I would almost like to see both Leftwich and Bowles go away; especially if they go off to coach the Falcons or Panthers.

  39. cmurda Says:

    @WTH. Because everybody is talking about strictly football with that. I still hope he doesn’t get booted but I can’t see Arians having much of a choice.

  40. cmurda Says:

    Yikes. Nevermind. BA just said that AB is no longer a Buc. Damn.

  41. Bird Says:

    Orlbucfan

    How long have you been letting diarrhea come straight from your mouth

    Been on here longer then you
    Born in largo in 1975 so of course born into it

    You get so sad when brady doesnt lose game for bucs. You think we win that with former guy?

    You are an absolute joke. And go eat some seed? 😂
    Its really a shame that clowns like you are on here
    Yah. Brady sucks. Screw brady. 😂
    Yah the whole team blah blah blah. Absolute trash

  42. Mike Johnson Says:

    Bucs were quite lucky they woke up in the 4th qtr. Jets really outplayed them for 3. I hope Brady gets in more work with his new receivers. They need it. We got 3 Big offensive keys missing now. Still not sure if we will recover to win a superbowl.

  43. Ed Says:

    Tom Brady almost singlehanded won this game. Bucs defense tightened it up in 2nd half but that first half was awful. Playing zone coverage vs Jets was a gift. Later in the game they played closer to the line of scrimmage and Wilson felt less comfortable.

    Not sure if Bucs coaching staff knows what it is doing. 50 throws a game by Brady is too many and playing soft zone is a slow painful death for defense.

    Rub it briskly. It’ll go down.
