Rapid Reactions Week 18: Bucs blowout the Panthers 41-17, claim the 2 seed
Re: Rapid Reactions Week 18: Bucs blowout the Panthers 41-17, claim the 2 seed
Are Florida Eagles fans going to swamp our stadium?
Re: Rapid Reactions Week 18: Bucs blowout the Panthers 41-17, claim the 2 seed
Thanks PM
I was thinking about individual records and sometimes they just move on to other teams or retire. When it comes down to your team being the best in the league at something that never goes away.
We just missed total offense and sadly I don't think no one on Tampa's sideline even knew it. First down with 36 seconds needing 18 yards and we kneel for a one yard loss - sigh.

Did I watch a Buc game yesterday where the refs did not speak one time?
Re: Rapid Reactions Week 18: Bucs blowout the Panthers 41-17, claim the 2 seed
Also, this thing where the announcers get to respond 3 to 5 seconds ahead of my vision - is starting to piss me off.

Depends how many season ticket holders re-sell on 3rd party sites and how much Philly fans are willing to pay.
They'll be some for sure. But with this being the first real home playoff game for the Bucs in close to 15yrs I'd imagine most fans keep their tickets and go.
We'll see. It will be interesting to see either way. I don't think it will be enough to cause Brady any issues communicating at the LoS

TONS of tix available. Looks like close to face? $216 - $250 for upper level.
Re: Rapid Reactions Week 18: Bucs blowout the Panthers 41-17, claim the 2 seed
Again...I guess I'm not a real fan. If I can get $600 for my pair of nose bleeds (face value is less than $100), I'm selling. If I don't get that, I'll go.

this ends bad, right?
Re: Rapid Reactions Week 18: Bucs blowout the Panthers 41-17, claim the 2 seed
We’ll be there, have an opportunity to sell for some extra coin but at the end of the day we haven’t had a home playoff game since 2007. I’m not missing that.

Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski were aware of TE's $1M catch incentives on Sunday
Jason Owens
Tue, January 11, 2022, 5:11 PM·2 min read
With their playoff bid secure, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't have much at stake during Sunday's season finale against the Carolina Panthers.
But Rob Gronkowski did. The Bucs tight end entered Sunday's game with a shot at reaching three separate contract incentives valued at $500,000 each. He secured two of them, for a cool $1 million tacked on to his $8 million in salary and signing bonuses this season.
And in case you thought multimillionaire athletes don't care about $1 million here and there, you thought wrong. Gronkowksi and his old pal Tom Brady made sure the tight end got his bonuses before Brady took his seat on the bench during Sunday's 41-17 blowout win.
Video released by the NFL on Tuesday shows just how aware of the incentives they both were as they planned out Gronkowski's payday.
"Let's go, I need one more," Gronkowski told Brady on the sideline.
"One more catch?" Brady confirmed before giving Gronkowski an affirming fist bump.
"If I don't get the seventh catch, I have to go get a real job," Gronkowski later joked with a Bucs staffer on the sideline.
Brady secures Gronk's payday before taking seat on bench
With 6:29 remaining in the game that the Bucs led 31-17, Brady found Gronkowski for his seventh catch of the day and 55th of the season. That catch was worth $500,000 for Gronkowski. Brady promptly found his seat on the bench, where he would ensure his health for Tampa Bay's upcoming wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Gronkowski, meanwhile, celebrated with a $1 million song and dance. Because Gronk.
He'd reached his yardage incentive earlier in the day. Gronkowski entered the game 65 yards short of a $500,000 bonus triggered at 750 receiving yards. He finished the day with seven catches for 137 yards, bringing his season total to 55 catches for 802 yards with six touchdowns.
He also finished the season three touchdowns short of another $500,000 bonus. But two out of three's not bad. Especially when it lands $1 million in your bank account.

Gronk saying he’s gonna have to get a real job is hilarious. Who the hell was he saying that to?
Re: Rapid Reactions Week 18: Bucs blowout the Panthers 41-17, claim the 2 seed
Were we acting that we had no clue screens where forming?
Re: Rapid Reactions Week 18: Bucs blowout the Panthers 41-17, claim the 2 seed
It was in my post...
"If I don't get the seventh catch, I have to go get a real job," Gronkowski later joked with a Bucs staffer on the sideline.

I cannot make it this Sunday so I sold mine, but I did it through Facebook and required proof it was a Bucs Fan. I sold them without much problem and actually got a lot of good feedback on my requirement.

You're not a real fan, I just sold mine because I cannot make it, required they be a Bucs Fan, had multiple people sending me pics of themselves in Bucs gear, etc. It's not that hard to be loyal, just sayin......

How did they prove they were a Bucs fan and not an Eagles fan living in Tampa or some such?Buccabeer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 3:15 pmI cannot make it this Sunday so I sold mine, but I did it through Facebook and required proof it was a Bucs Fan.

I’d love to see the idiots who bought those tickets. “Prove you’re a fan”? Please. That’s pathetic.
@acmillis make ya money.

Re: Rapid Reactions Week 18: Bucs blowout the Panthers 41-17, claim the 2 seed
Trying to understand what's pathetic? Requiring that someone be a Bucs fan to buy tickets I own? Trying to not add to the amount of Eagles fans that will be in the stadium because I am a Bucs fan? Why would someone be an idiot for buying a ticket to see the team they like play in a home playoff game?King Bootz wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 4:55 pm I’d love to see the idiots who bought those tickets. “Prove you’re a fan”?

Trying to make people "prove" they're Bucs fans. Pics with Bucs gear on doesn't prove anything. For all you know they could be buying the tix for someone else and not themselves. You don't know. But the arrogance there is grotesque.Buccabeer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 5:16 pmTrying to understand what's pathetic? Requiring that someone be a Bucs fan to buy tickets I own?
