Board 8 > Brady and the Bucs are World Champions! Let's Play: Board 8 Predicts

(+) Yeah! (+)

After Gronk announced he was joining the Bucs in April, I made a thread predicting Tom Brady would be making a trip to his 10th Super Bowl, saying

"Tom's weapons:
Rob Gronkowski
Mike Evans
Chris Godwin
O.J. Howard
some running backs I assume

And backed by a top 8 defense!"

Let's see what Board 8 thought about it!
---

Never bet on the Bucs.
~Leon

I did, and quite enjoyed myself!

Brady gets injured on the opening drive. Gronkowski re-retires. Somewhere Bill Belichick smiles to himself.
@Ashethan

I'm afraid there were very few smiles for Bill in 2020.

(...even moreso than usual)

First snap in Week 1 Brady hangs Gronk out to dry on a slant, then pins him while he's knocked out to become the 24/7 champ.
@FFDragon

Didn't work out, but this was still my favorite pred!

what super bowl?
~ red
Where's "No, social distancing rules will preempt the next NFL season?"
~ Chichiri

Not the worst pick. It wasn't always pretty, but daily COVID tests were enough for the NFL to complete their full season.

Voted the last option on the technicality that the season doesn't happen and one or both retire.
@swirIdude

No way bro, NO WAY.

Brady is washed. 9-7 at best for Tampa
@ExThaNemesis

9 wins? Try 8 in a row!

They won't even win the NFC South
~ Eddv

...actually, a good pick!

missing a very important poll option: one and done
@Xuxon

Might have been a good pick, if not for the existence of the NFC East!

remember when the Redskins would win the offseason every year by overpaying for washed up big names
~ Leon

Yes, but I don't see the relation to paying for Tom 7 Time Champ Brady and Rob Two Super Bowl Touchdowns Gronkowski.

wasn't Antonio Brown supposed to be going to Tampa too?
@ScareChan

Actually, eventually, yes. Great pick!

Brady gets exposed again like last year
~ Sens-Hangar

Wrongest man on GameFAQs.

I am salty and therefore not buying into the hype. They'll probably make the playoffs, but good core or not I don't think Brady has what it takes anymore.
@davidponte

Should have stocked up on MASSIVE HYPE like your pal Ng!

Meanwhile Cardinal fans and some dumb analysts still trying to say Cardinals have the best receiving core, when this team exists.
~Wicklebee

Good point!

Only way the Bucs win the whole thing is if they can go back in time and get younger versions of their roster.
~ Monopoman

Uhhh, actually....

Bucs already have a very young starting roster
@KCF0107

Yes, thank you KCF!

Bucs are my new favorite team
Whoooo go Bucs!
@MZero

Congratulations!

I am happy.
~ Chris

Yes it truly was a remarkable season, but DARN IT things should have gone differently in Lambeau.


---

Lol! Awesome.

I am still happy.

---

Alas, I did not count on Belichick's deal with the Devil going south.

---

I prefaced my negative prediction with my saltiness and continued that until the last moment, no regrets.

---

I feel like this is the second time in the last few months I've been dragged for bad predictions I made months before.

---

Doug Flutie did end up winning the 24/7 title, so a discount version of my prediction did happen

---

Can't be world champions if they never beat anyone from the Japan X-League
---

While I was jesting about the Bucs being my new favorite team, I did root for them throughout the season. Especially when neither of my teams made the playoffs.

Good for me!

---

Oh man I'm happy I didn't post then >.>
