Big Biscuits!
January 24th, 2021
Clutch.
Joe believes the Bucs made a play in the first half that fans may remember for as long as they are sucking air, and it might be remembered with the same affinity as Rondé Barber’s historic pick-six.
The Bucs won by five. Another Packers touchdown would have doomed the Bucs.
Late in the first half, the Bucs had the ball, fourth down on the Green Bay-39. Most coaches would have punted or tried a field goal, and been content with an 18-10 lead (provided the field goal was made).
Instead, the Bucs have an old coach who goes by the motto of “No risk it; no biscuit.” And man, did Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians show his biscuits.
Park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring, down-forgetting, handshake-stiffing, jet-ski-losing, biscuit-baking Bucs quarterback Tom Brady stepped back and heaved a pass to the end zone’s. That’s where his newest best friend since training camp, Scotty Miller, outraced Packers corner Kevin King (back hurting now, pal?) to haul in Brady’s pass and the Bucs took a 21-10 lead into the locker at halftime.
That ballsy call, that gutsy play, go for the biscuits or come up broke, turned out to be the difference.
No matter what happens in two weeks, when Arians retires and for as long as he is remembered, that play will sum up his personality.
And Joe suspects as long as NFL Films exists, that play will never die.

That play won the game. It helped as brady pulled a jameis in second half
January 24th, 2021 at 6:55 pm
I don’t think I ever screamed over a bucs game more than I did cheering Scooter for catching that ball
January 24th, 2021 at 6:55 pm
It was 4th down Joe.
January 24th, 2021 at 6:56 pm
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The breakdown of this play will run continually for at least the next two weeks. A true WTH? Moment.
January 24th, 2021 at 6:57 pm
I can’t lie when they sent the offense back out on the 4th down I was like WTF are we doing. That was beyond a ballsy call definitely lived up to the moto right there.
January 24th, 2021 at 6:58 pm
Arians will be clanking walking down the hall all week after that call. With a pair that big I don’t know how he even sits down. Arians looked like Randy from South Park when he microwaved his sack to get medical smoke. Haha
January 24th, 2021 at 6:58 pm
The Super Bowl-or-bust crowd can put that in their pipe and smoke it or choke on it!
When a team has a great qb, the team wins and has much success…
HISTORY in the making… 1st team to play in a SB in the own stadium… Can’t take that away from them now!
January 24th, 2021 at 7:00 pm
That’s what Joe thought but damned if the play-by-play on BSPN doesn’t have “1-10.”
January 24th, 2021 at 7:00 pm
Joe, much love. But you’re relatively new to Bucs fandom. Ronde is 1st by a country mile. This play was somehow both epic and meaningless all at the same time. If it closed out the game, different conversation.
Ronde literally shut down the Vet. Are they imploding Lambeu anytime soon? No sir.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:00 pm
Honestly I thought the bigger stones was going for it on 4th down and converting. The Scotty play was the game winner but the stones were on the play before.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:01 pm
Thank you Tom Brady.
Thank your Mr. Suh.
Thank you Gronk.
Thank you Leonard Fournette.
Thank you Shaq.
Thank you JPP.
Thank you Chris Godwin. Aikman is an idiot.
Thank you Mike Evans.
Thank you Donovan Smith.
Thank you SMB.
Thank you Devin White.
Thank you Todd Licht.
Thank you Byron Leftwich.
Thank you Bruce Arians.
Thank you, Joes. This has been a fabulous year and a great forum.

Big biscuits also led to 3 interceptions so I’m not sure why they kept forcing the issue, you have a comfortable lead, play conservative.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:01 pm
Formally:
Even the officlal gamebook has first down.

ABC Wide World of Sports ” The thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat” – Vinko Bogataj Just add A Rodgers to the caption lol
January 24th, 2021 at 7:02 pm
Joe, since when do you believe BSPN? It was 4th down
January 24th, 2021 at 7:02 pm
At what point tomorrow is it appropriate to stop drinking? Asking for a friend…
January 24th, 2021 at 7:02 pm
1978 is “relatively new?”
January 24th, 2021 at 7:02 pm
I love how Yahoo is going the blown PI call cost the game, F-ing D bags
January 24th, 2021 at 7:02 pm
I heard that was Brady’s call. Whatever combined effort. Run Scotty Run!!
January 24th, 2021 at 7:03 pm
It was first down people. Fournette picked up the 4th down conversion on the previous play.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:04 pm
Lightning won the Stanley Cup. Rays played in the World Series. And Bucs are going to the Super Bowl. All in the same season. And with the threat of Covid.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:04 pm
That was such a great play that made GB pay for stupid coverage especially on he fastest man on the field!!!
January 24th, 2021 at 7:04 pm
Offical gamebook has first down. The NFL official gamebook.
Feel free to look for yourself.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:05 pm
Methinks Scotty can play…..so can Tyler……
January 24th, 2021 at 7:06 pm
So fun to see all the players we root for through thick and thin win the nfc chip! Go Bucs!
January 24th, 2021 at 7:06 pm
Admin- the fourth down play was the 6 yard pass to Fournette to the right. Then it was first and ten.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:07 pm
Yup.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:08 pm
That is a great way to win 7 in a row for the first time ever, but even better win 8. GO BUCS!!!!!!
January 24th, 2021 at 7:08 pm
to clear it up, 4th down they hit the pass to fournette with 6 seconds left, then hit the td
January 24th, 2021 at 7:09 pm
So when will Joe(s) drop the park violating and other meaningless BS and use Bucs Franchise saving……
January 24th, 2021 at 7:09 pm
That was the same scenario and play at the end of the Oakland…..Vegas Raiders game, was it not?
January 24th, 2021 at 7:09 pm
I thought the opposite, anti-biscuit call by Green Bay with 4 minutes left was as strange. Thanks for the FG attempt, Packers.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:09 pm
Mea culpas all around. My euphoria has clouded everything apparently!
January 24th, 2021 at 7:11 pm
Joe, wouldn’t be the 1st time I’ve been proven wrong. But the bus didn’t make it to 1st down on 3rd down and then they called time out. And instead of the punter coming out it was Brady. The rest is scooter history.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:12 pm
In other news, is Scott Norwood available for the Bills in 2 weeks? Asking for a friend
January 24th, 2021 at 7:12 pm
Huge play!
Now, we gotta cheer for the Bills.
Dont wanna see Tyrek Hill again.
Bills are a better match up!
January 24th, 2021 at 7:13 pm
Twice, Rogers had green to run it in for a TD. Maybe afraid of getting pummeled? Choke city.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:13 pm
Bucs get a TD because they go for a 4 and 3 with seconds left in the first half.
Packers, down by 8, 4th and goal … kick a field goal with 2:09 left in the game.
You got to have the cojones

CLASSIC!!! lol

*****Park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring, down-forgetting, handshake-stiffing, jet-ski-losing, biscuit-baking, NFC-CHAMPIONSHIP-WINNING, Bucs quarterback Tom Brady*****
January 24th, 2021 at 7:18 pm
Lmao Southern Buc!
January 24th, 2021 at 7:20 pm
@David – yep. For Dodgeball movie fans – expect lots of memes this week “Cram it up your cram hole, LaFluer” for kicking a FG. DUDE – you got AR, and you kick a FG with a Super bowl berth on the line? Anti-biscuit coach.
Would be great to see Brady-Mahomes again…..no way does Brady lose at home for SB. 7 rings!
January 24th, 2021 at 7:21 pm
I do not want to face the Cheifs again…..let’s go Bills!
January 24th, 2021 at 7:21 pm
The Buccaneers are no longer the Yuckaneers! They will now be called 2020 NFC CHAMPIONS !!! This is like a dream!!!
January 24th, 2021 at 7:28 pm
For everyone scared of the Chiefs… The Buccaneers shut them out for 3/4. The defense is playing much better since then. They basically had a really bad quarter and then completely outplayed them. I’m not saying it would be easy, but they don’t scare me.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:29 pm
Bucs can beat either AFC team.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:30 pm
This team is gonna win the Super Bowl. There is no doubt. We will beat either of these teams. I was really pissed off about 2 timeout calls at the end of the 1st half and really pissed off about going for it on 4th and 3. I wanted to go to the half up 4, 14-10.
That’s why I drink beer and vape on the couch.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:54 pm
@Colonel Angus
I was thinking the same thing. It might have even been the same play from the Raiders game.
January 24th, 2021 at 7:54 pm
Caught the Pack flat-footed, they didn’t expect it and it broke them. I wish I knew what happened in their locker room.
Rogers came out for the second half with a worried look in his eyes.
January 24th, 2021 at 8:25 pm
king got worked today…
worked
January 24th, 2021 at 8:26 pm
big play by brady and scottie biscotti
#ScottieBiscotti #WeLuvBiscuits
January 24th, 2021 at 8:32 pm
I still can’t believe they left him one on one in that situation!! Especially knowing Brady likes to hit Miller in those situations!! …. Drop brown!! Keep Godwin and develop Scotty!! He’s going to be a solid player for years to come and Brown will eventually screw up!!…. Can’t stop saying it… What a game!!!
January 24th, 2021 at 8:34 pm
“ late in the first half“ – 1 second left!
Yeah. That’s late all right!
January 24th, 2021 at 8:52 pm
Touchdown. Who cares what down it was?
January 24th, 2021 at 9:25 pm
Damn right that was huge momentum shift. Brady clutch on third down all night
January 24th, 2021 at 9:41 pm
BL IS WORKING MAGIC
GO BUCS
January 25th, 2021 at 12:38 am
I was SOOOO pumped they went for it right there. It showed some balls.
Brady was ugly in the 2nd half but we did enough to win
On to the Super Bowl!!!!!!!! Go Bucs!!!
January 25th, 2021 at 8:23 am
Woody Hayes hated the forward pass. “Only three things can happen, and two of them aint good.” But what a time to be good. Matt Lafluer got schooled.
Bring back the Lombardi.
Tampa Titletown USA!!

@Alvin Scissors Harper –
LOL! Great take, man. You spoke for a number of us with that!
