Flag On The Post: Super Bowl- Bound

Twice as nice 😁 pic.twitter.com/OeTSOva60I January 24, 2021

And that’ll do it. Super Bowl-bound!

That picture is more symbolic than most will recognize.

The image of Buccaneers defense taking down a supposedly unstoppable offensive player.

A great headline.

Not exactly the story though.

SUPER BOWL BABY ! @Buccaneers pic.twitter.com/GTHcSfsaAU January 24, 2021

Dickey V could be the mascot for any team.

This cat is genuinely into the BUCS. And super opinionated. Right or wrong.

And has been every season.

He doesn’t just pop up when things are good.

Unlike some former players.

One of the dopest images from the NFC Title Game.

All these damn onion in here….

THE BUCCANEERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL. WE DESERVE THIS. I LOVE YOU. #GOBUCS January 24, 2021

I thought I would have words...so I went live.

I didn't

Holy shit Bucs. We are going to the Super Bowl!January 24, 2021

I cannot believe this.January 24, 2021

Seriously….who the f*%# is in charge of the onions in here??

Yes. I’m the kinda person that says “us and we” when I refer to the @Buccaneers . I have dedicated a room in my house, majority of my wardrobe, and countless hours watching or talking about them. So I say WE and US cause I’m about that life. Retweet if you’re the same. #GoBucs January 25, 2021

We understand.

Not bad for the “wOrSt tAcKLe in ThE NfL”.

Here’s the scene as George Halas Trophy is being presented on the field to Joel Glazer. Bucs going to Super Bowl in Tampa. pic.twitter.com/90TllCaxZc January 24, 2021

3 in a row on the road.

And the last visiting stadium being the most iconic in the League.

It seems like a fairytale.

But ending the journey in victory at Raymond James Stadium would be an all-time classic ending to the season.

The kind that could cap off a career……….

NFC Champions!

The @Buccaneers will be the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium! #NFLPlayoffs #SBLV pic.twitter.com/FgvDfg96IB January 24, 2021

Got ‘em.

When it comes to the BUCS, the temporary/visiting fans are always the most vocal.

Funny enough, that’s how it’s been at the stadium for a while.

While I can’t blame anyone for having a favourite player and following his career, I do find it damn near repulsive to claim “adopting” the fandom of those who followed the Team long before.

I spoke to Hall Of Fame Buccaneers fan Big Nasty about the temporary fans coming about aboard on the podcast last year….”Come As You Are”.

He said it best. “Don’t be a jump-ship-chump.”

Win or lose, don’t go blaming everyone BUT you’re favourite player.

And don’t go thinking YOUR guy is what makes the Team go and nothing else.

This is probably the worst/best thing I’ve seen all season.

I actually hate that I saw it because it now stuck in my head. But, I also love that I can share it to some unexpected soul like an evil jack-in-the-box.

Odd stat of Saints-Buccaneers history: the Saints beat the Bucs twice in the regular season in both seasons Tampa Bay advance to a Super Bowl.

So there's that ...January 24, 2021

LMAO that was not anywhere near the same thing. 😂 https://t.co/vOBYUvzdWl January 25, 2021

Some of those cats got their cheese up in a curd over that flag that had to come from 15 yards down field and into the frame on television.

The hold was egregious and obvious.

Johnson could’ve pressed assault charges after that fella tried to undress him like that.

The dilemma.

There were definitely a lot of BUCS fans that couldn’t stand the thought of Tom Brady prior to his joining the Team.

Lots of them claimed he had referees in his back pocket.

The same ones also looked at the referees to blame in damn near every BUCS loss ever.

So, there’s that.

Much like “The Office”, it’s just hard to go wrong with a “Simpsons” meme.

“The checks for the refs cleared, right?” pic.twitter.com/O5HX8oTKfr January 25, 2021

Tee-hee

“Oh, no you di-int!”

When genius goes wrong.

Grade A analysis by this here drunken cheesehead.

EA Sports is definitely the wrong tool to use when scouting opponents.

It’s a few steps behind PFF “grades”.

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

Don’t let these clowns back on the bandwagon.

Change the channel.

Oh, it’s true. It’s damn true.

The love/obsession with the QB position will have people making all kinds of caveats and loopholes and mental gymnastic reps until their last breath.

It’s hilarious.

For the record, if this is your first time here, there are no punches pulled for fan favourites. When they look bad, it’s pointed out. And this was the case with that walking liability at QB the previous 5 years. The writing was on the wall back in 2017 and fellow BUCS fans/followers hated me and all the facts that pointed to it….Here, Here, and Here.

These people exist. They are dangerous to themselves and others.

Approach with caution.

Facts won’t stop them. That will only enrage them.

I’ll never forget just how much McCoy and David did together in Tampa on the way to this Super Bowl appearance.

Two top 5 players at their position and they didn’t get into the playoffs.

And both true franchise players on and off the field.

I wish they could’ve experienced this run together on the field.

This man here @OutsideLeverage called it from August:
Kept pointing to the defense and Bowles as being the reason the #GoBucs would go farJanuary 24, 2021

It’s true.

Tell him “ Todd Bowles and that damn Defense.”

Ha!

Serious business, Murphy-Bounting had a rough season. But he’s been making his presence known the last few weeks.

Hoping to see it one more time to close out the season.

Laugh at ‘em and move on.

Playoff Defense !!!! Let’s Turn It Up Some More #GraveDiggers 🪦January 25, 2021

If your favourite BUCS coverage isn’t talking about the defense, change the damn channel.

Better yet, come on outside for some fresh air.

Perfection.

If you didn’t see it coming, you weren’t paying attention.

Just like Poirier rendering McGregor defenseless.

All the hype was behind what McGregor did in the past and all the eyes that were on him. Poirier has been grinding hard for the last 5 years non-stop.

And even though he took a few tough losses and got set back by injuries, he was still well beyond average.

The organization just didn’t do anything to push him into the limelight.

But if you watched the fights leading into this one and saw what Poirier was bringing in this one that he didn’t have in the last one, you knew how it was likely to go.

If the talk ain’t about what the defense was doing versus Green Bay, then it ain’t real.

It’s filler.

And there’s plenty of that going around.

Carlton Davis talkin’ that $#*&.

Don’t kick a man when he’s down??

Don’t bother a man when he’s standing where you want to be unless you’re asking him how he got there.

You know what, Pro Bowl voters? Lavonte David and Devin White wouldn't have been available anyway.January 25, 2021

EVERYBODY talkin’ that sh*t.

It’s contagious.

A straight up game changer in ALL facets of the defensive line.

Dude was coming in on passing downs rather the being the misclassified “run stuffer” clowns have continued parroting based on his physical stature before they ever watched a minute of game film on him a few weeks before the draft back in 2018.
