So happy for him! Let him get the start first series then rest him except for a few plays here and there. It’s very underestimated just how tough this guy is and how much he plays hurt. Good Luck Mike you deserve all of this and more.
Of course he is going to play. The guy is a warrior. He’d have to be crippled to miss his first playoff game……Even then hed still be trying to get out there.
I know I’m in the minority, but I wish he would sit this one out. We’ll definitely need a healthy ME13 next week. We shouldn’t need him to beat the WFT.
Gotta let him play, but on a short leash. You get up by 14 and he should sit. Only use him when you need him. Need this win, but he is essential to a playoff run.
I’m glad he to see he’s going to be able to play his first post season game. My only worry is hurting it more in a game Tampa should win without him. If they do play him, I just wonder if he’s going to stick to routes that don’t have him pushing off that hurt knee.
Great news about Mike Evans. By the way, watching the Shehawks game and I thought Jamal Adams was going to be ejected for his hit on the qb meanwhile they picked up the flag. Baffling. The NFL is broken. Don’t throw a flag when a guy gets nailed in the had but soft calls everywhere. Ridiculous
@Tyson. I disagree. I thought Kinter was slow and terrible especially in coverage but he’s a good tackler and that’s probably even more important right now.
I kind of wish Alex Smith was gonna be the QB. I don’t think he can throw a ball 20 yards, he can’t push off that knee and he is a statue like Brady, but with none of Brady’s tools. The backup is a real unknown with no film on him and that always makes me nervous. Bucs have made many backup QBs look like all pros.
I hope I live to see his HOF induction. All the qualities of the best of all time with unmatched toughness and without being a diva. First to project him for the HOF early in his 3rd season.
Sounds like Alex Smith is indeed out – so the Bucs have no excuses not to win this. If the Bucs can win and we can get the Bears to win, then the Bucs would host the Rams, who might be down Donald and Cupp. You can’t luck your way to the Super Bowl, except you actually can, just look at the 1999 St Louis Scams who played the softest schedule in football, then had the refs hand them the game against Tampa.
All I see is bucs holding this great Washington football clubs d line. Brady crying for calls. For Rivera cancer for social justice , iam proud of the Washington football club

Limit his plays to red zone only. With AB, there is no reason to let Evans put stress on the injury. He needs to be 100% next week.
January 9th, 2021 at 12:00 pm
Hopefully 20+ ahead at the half, no need to play in the second half.
January 9th, 2021 at 12:04 pm
Bang the gong and get it on!
January 9th, 2021 at 12:07 pm
LFG Big Mike!! You been working for this for so long – time to go out there and get some well deserved playoff time!!
January 9th, 2021 at 12:11 pm
so happy for this dude man.. hes worked for this great player from all the looks of it even better person.LFG!!!! BIG MIKE
January 9th, 2021 at 12:16 pm
Playoffs?
Playoffs?
The Bucs are really in the playoffs?
Wow!!!
January 9th, 2021 at 12:22 pm
BEAST!!!!
January 9th, 2021 at 12:23 pm
Was there any much doubt?………Play him as much as he likes…..maybe they’ll decide he doesn’t need a double-team……(for one play)….then will reconsider.
January 9th, 2021 at 12:32 pm
I hope they minimize Evans as the selected receiver in plays to draw WFT secondary coverage while also avoiding wear on ME13’s legs…
January 9th, 2021 at 12:34 pm
Good. Evans is the type of dawg you need in the playoffs. Knew he’d play.
January 9th, 2021 at 12:35 pm
money mike with the mentality…
north dallas 40 style…
do it up mik3
January 9th, 2021 at 12:36 pm
Because, of course he is! That’s Mike Freaking Evans!

January 9th, 2021 at 12:58 pm
There was never a doubt in my mind, this guy is a warrior.
January 9th, 2021 at 1:28 pm
Guess my new mike evans jersey was a good choice! Go Mike! You deserve it man!!
January 9th, 2021 at 1:28 pm
As soon as we was practicing, I figured he would play, even if it’s limited.
Let’s get up early so he can rest the 2nd half.
LFG Bucs! Playoffs baby!!!!!
January 9th, 2021 at 1:28 pm
*he was practicing
January 9th, 2021 at 2:14 pm

January 9th, 2021 at 2:37 pm
Alvin … i agree. AB at 100% is better than ME at 80% Let AB take the vast majority of the snaps today.
January 9th, 2021 at 2:38 pm
Just for the fact he is on the field Washington will have to realign their secondary. Go Buc’s
January 9th, 2021 at 2:45 pm
That pic. How does one defend that?
January 9th, 2021 at 2:50 pm
@bojim – push him out of bounds before he lands
January 9th, 2021 at 2:51 pm
But he is awesome and basically unstoppable
January 9th, 2021 at 2:54 pm
Godzilla returns…
January 9th, 2021 at 3:04 pm
That is an amazing picture! Remember the height of that crossbar is 10 feet. Crazy
January 9th, 2021 at 3:04 pm

January 9th, 2021 at 3:19 pm
Awesome! The O & D lines need to win the battle today.
January 9th, 2021 at 3:23 pm
I worry how much he may be hobbling, but injured Mike seems to actually play well .. just hope it doesn’t set him back for next week
January 9th, 2021 at 3:24 pm
Happy for Mike, he’s busted his @ss a long time and deserves to be on the field today. LFG Bucs!
January 9th, 2021 at 4:17 pm
First play 15 yd back shoulder will put defense on heels the rest of the game. Use him sparingly.
January 9th, 2021 at 4:24 pm
I’m glad he to see he’s going to be able to play his first post season game. My only worry is hurting it more in a game Tampa should win without him. If they do play him, I just wonder if he’s going to stick to routes that don’t have him pushing off that hurt knee.
January 9th, 2021 at 4:48 pm
Who is playing in White spot on D and is he any good?
January 9th, 2021 at 4:48 pm
Alex Smith just declared inactive for the game.
January 9th, 2021 at 4:54 pm
@ LVMYBUCS Kevin Minter. I thought Minter filled in well when White missed time earlier.
January 9th, 2021 at 5:01 pm
I guess the Black Knight lives to see another day!
January 9th, 2021 at 5:02 pm
Alex Smith is out, inactive for the game.
January 9th, 2021 at 5:06 pm

Questionable ball in Bill’s, Indy game. Nevertheless Indy gave them the game. Allen overrated.

January 9th, 2021 at 5:25 pm
Suh will play big tonight.
January 9th, 2021 at 5:26 pm
Hopefully as a decoy we will need him 100% if we go deep into the playoffs!
January 9th, 2021 at 5:36 pm
Evans is fine. I knew he’d play. That injury was not that bad, just scary.
January 9th, 2021 at 5:37 pm
Who cares he won’t catch a ball. Brady won’t be able to throw against this club’s pass rush , you all love cheaters and cheaters will never win
January 9th, 2021 at 5:38 pm
Woot!
January 9th, 2021 at 6:03 pm
Alex Smith will not!!
January 9th, 2021 at 6:15 pm
Alex Smith is inactive vs. Bucs. This could be interesting.
Expect a lot of RPO from TFTFKATR.

January 9th, 2021 at 6:59 pm
I prefer WFTWTF
January 9th, 2021 at 7:14 pm
I hope I live to see his HOF induction. All the qualities of the best of all time with unmatched toughness and without being a diva. First to project him for the HOF early in his 3rd season.

Maybe we’ve seen the last of the FTFKATR “Brady is a cheater” troll.
