**** Official Tampa Bay Buccaneers Thread ****

For all those who say the defense carries Brady:

But the Bucs’ defense has benefited from the 43-year-old quarterback’s presence, as well, as defensive coordinator Todd Bowles explained Monday during a Super Bowl LV week media session.

“Just really, from a performance standpoint, when (defensive players) see how hard he works and everything he does as diligent as he does it, nobody wants to let anybody down, so those guys work harder from that standpoint,” Bowles said in a video conference.

“And you don’t want to get embarrassed at practice having Brady pick on you every day, so you’d better pick your game up. I think a lot of that part has carried over to the defense and made them more accountable.”

Tom Brady makes the defense better. Intangibles that people don't think of when accessing the impact Brady has on a team, not just the offense.

I think it's going to be a great game. Chiefs fans are saying if the Bucs can put up 30 they have a really good shot of winning. Honestly, I don't see why we couldn't put up 30.

I think the key on offense will be getting the run game going and making sure Evans stays involved. Games that we've run the ball it opens up the play action that Arians loves and when Evans is getting feed the ball, the offense seems to do so much better.

AB status trending in the right direction, but based on what I read yesterday it doesn't sound like it's a guarantee he plays.

I had a weird dream that Buc were down late in the game. Brady drives them down the field to get into FG range. Then.....


I come in to kick the GW FG.


Then somehow there was a concurrent scenario in the same dream that the Bucs were down 21-3 at half time and the Chiefs won.

Weird because i had a dream about the Super Bowl before the season. I can’t remember the last time i actually remembered a dream until this. I posted about it then so its probably still there somewhere. I dreamed that the Bucs would beat the Patriots in the SB. Obviously, we know how that turned out for the Pats but this was before they signed Cam so I thought i had a vision of the future or something.

Gonna take loads of restructuring to keep this team together.

Feels good

From the sounds of it, they want to make it work, so the Bucs might be starting next year loaded and ready to repeat.

That second part. Weren't the Chiefs actually down to the Bucs 21-3 at halftime?
