Erie is nearly equidistant from Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Buffalo. Odds are most everyone I grew up with is a fan of one of those teams. Still doesn't explain Tampa Bay.

Crazy Horse Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 " Still doesn't explain Tampa Bay. " It's about the money, it's always about the money. Maybe now New England fans will be calling Brady a "Tory" rather than a Patriot. ;~) Link to post Share on other sites
shoot-straight Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Ravens fan here. Also I have Become a huge bills fan. They are loving this for sure Link to post Share on other sites
WPG Gizmo Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Tampa had the Money that they could spend on Brady unlike some other teams that were interested. Does having Brady mean that they will win a SB well no. But let's look at this no one know if there will even be a NFL season this fall if the current situation goes deep into summer which is possible then all bets are off on if there will even be a NFL season come fall and if there is how abbreviated will it be all you need is a player or two to test positive in the summer. Teams start training for real in June if they cant train until much later that sets the season back in return. Personally I feel that Brady should have retired maybe take a job in the Pats front office or even just spend the time off with his kids guess he had different ideas Link to post Share on other sites

From what I read this morning, NE could not sign any top notch receivers which hastened his departure to a team that has some top notch receivers. NE was in the hunt for Diggs, who had personality issues with Minnesota and Cousins, but lost out to Buffalo. I wish Brady well and look forward to what he does in Tampa. I think the writing was on the wall when Gronk called it quits. Link to post Share on other sites
mccuha Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Word is there are many players getting in touch with TB about coming to play for them. It wouldn’t take many players with what they already have to have a shot. I don’t follow TB but from what I read if Winston hadn’t thrown so many interceptions they would have won several more games and would have definitely made it to the playoffs. It will be an interesting season If they have one. Link to post Share on other sites

Pub Scout Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 AFC EAST Champs Buffalo Bills has a nice ring to it. He was a cog in a machine...when he flounders in TB it all his "fans" will say he is old. Gimme a break, my grandmother could have been QB for the Pats and she has been in the ground for 20 years.

IMO, if this is the end of the line with the Pats, he had the greatest run of success as a QB in Pro football. He is the GOAT at the position from where I sit. That he's done it during the salary cap era is even more remarkable. One thing that bugs me about his departure, in the past Brady always took a bit less to keep the team intact so they could afford the players they wanted to keep. Why jump now? Seems like it's a cash grab which goes against his past behavior as a team 1st kind of guy. To me, the Pats were just a few players away last year to get back to the SB. Tampa bay 30 million he should retire after 6th Super bowl win. I rather Go out on top my game than on decline. He my turned be another Bret Friea Link to post Share on other sites

It will be an interesting season If they have one. He passed for 5,100 or so yards, 32 touchdowns and 30 interceptions. First QB in the 30-30 club. They finished 7-9 after losing 6 or so games by 7 pts or less I believe. He had like 6 or 7 pick sixes. His turnovers resulted in like 60+ points for the opposing teams. He broke all kinds of team and NFL records but the turnovers killed the chances they had of winning. Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleAuto Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 And the new reality song for the Patriots is a slightly modified version of the Hall and Oates song "She's Gone" changed to "He's Gone". Link to post Share on other sites
