Bruce Arians on Week 18: ‘You Play to Get the Second Seed’ | Press Conference

@Bob’sBurgers Take2 I’d save bell for the playoffs so no one knows how to defend the offense

@Remy D There is no “Belichick’s way”, it is the talents of players.
For god people, some people really believe Belichick’s farts slowed defenders for Brady.

Grayson and Breshard (spelling) are beasts.

Yes all is correct but I figure this too. What’s everybody been talking about this year in Buc land and beyond? Well, Aaron Rodgers, Cooper Cupp, Tom Brady, Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Now all of a sudden Cyril Grayson, Leonard Fournette, and someone named Brate and Perriman are making headlines. Stafford, little bit of Maholmes, and the guy in Arizona. Oh, of course there was the Antonio Brown Vax story and suspension plus his injured ankle, but that all blew over quick as he healed and he fell by the wayside but quick. Brown came back but nobody noticed! He had a heck of a game against Carolina but everybody talked about Houston beating the Chargers? The Dallas Cowboy Defense. Dak ? Parsons? Diggs? In Buc land Leveon Bell became the news and he was just as quick replaced by newly injured guys and back to Evans, team injuries and timelines for returns. No Brown story. And uh oh the rise and fall and doghouse and rise again of Gronk. And now they’re throwing to Grayson and who? Brate? Perriman ? Yes the incentives had something to do with it. Maybe pride and ego. But you gotta be careful how you talk to Brown. He is ultra sensitive and cannot take orders well. Brady gave him a talkin to as did Arians and that set him off. Most importantly the man needs to be head of the news, center of attention. Like Trump he is a narcicisst first and foremost then a Raider, Steeler, Buc etc.

Boy.. If you don’t knock on wood, imma punch you in the face. Bucs started the season with 3 #1 wrs. 2 are HoF caliber(M1KE and AB..) and Godwin is exceptional. It’ll be interesting to see what the GOAT does with just 1 HoF WR. He’ll probably throw 3 TDs for 410 yards. He’ll probably toss it up to a WR that never played football in college for a game winning TD. He’ll probably toss it to gronk for 115 yards. We are talking about Brady, who has consistently done MORE with less.

@John Knox
Sorry John, but I have been in many NFL locker rooms.
I am very aware of what takes place to enable players to participate each week.
In this circumstance with AB, it is irrelevant to the conversation.
AB made his decision based upon his emotions stirred up by his perceiving a lack of respect from the Bucs and Brady. It had NOTHING to do with his ankle.
Stop making excuses for AB.
You are not helping him; you are enabling him.

@GOLDENBEAR82 once again you are using your opinion and acting like it’s fact

@E P lol, again he took himself out of the game with 6min left in the second quarter. If he’s injured why is he in full pads still in the middle of the 3rd?

@Eddie Manea who cares, he doesn’t take his pads off if Arians doesn’t cut him mid game. He easily could have thought he could get back in there and then realized he couldn’t. He had a lingering ankle issue that kept him out for a bunch of weeks and practice all week. I don’t understand how this is so hard for you to grasp

@Eddie Manea if you had a shot at a million in the first half and you get it and Dominate the Jets like you supposed to your stars can rest and think about the playoffs not a Vet playing in a New week 18🤫

@Chesscom Support pardon me for the inquiry but I’m not understanding the premise of your question so just exactly what is it you’re Implying?

@Dro2Real83 he was there when coach pagano had to step away bc of cancer. BA actually won coach of the year.

@S S think of all the issues AB had had…. Let apply you logic of “that we know of” to him…. Imagine how much worse he actually is!

@o0usf0o that’s right now did you mention it I do remember reading that he’s also gotten a lot of accolades for his coaching career at the college level I’ve never really heard any player or colleague of his speak anything other than good things about him as an individual or a coach but we all know he speaks his mind and he’s not afraid to do that.

@o0usf0o Imagine the Bucs signing him with all those known issues GTFOH

Dude, BA told him to leave.

Who told you that ? AB briefing the media to try and get some money . Your coach tells you your out you don’t walk during a game . You know that in high school

that’s what i think if AB ankle is hurt during the game then he should be evaluated by the medical team on field, BA can’t force him in if he is truly hurt but w/o any official rule out of the game AB can’t refuse what coach order on you for the game … more to this story for sure . I also read somewhere that AB has argue with TB about during first half TB targeted Gronk more than him. anyway AB is AB and the guy absolutely not showing team player at all, regardless whatever the situation is he shouldn’t walk out the team like that . I believe his NFL career is done .

@W N TB is crying baby. Dallas will pickup AB.

@Master Pooshi i doubt that but if they do their locker room will be destroyed

@Master Pooshi they won’t touch him with a 10 foot poll 😂

UM WHAT?! That game was horrible the Buccs are declining and now w AB gone and Goodwin good luck

@Jessica Greene Declining? Ok. Or maybe that’s just something you hope. We will see about that. My guess is that Brady beat your team on his way to a Superbowl

Facts..look we knew his history..he let this team down..fans down..Tom down..he had a shot at a SB..blew it😢

@J D Im not a BA fan but let’s look at repeated patterns and history. Only one of them has a history of acting like a child and blaming others, over and over and over.

@J D
But NFL game day injury protocol dictates that the player tells the training staff they can’t physically play because of their injury, and the training staff informs the coaching staff.
Aryans said AB never went to the training staff to check out his ankle, so the training staff never identified that he was unable to perform, and it was AB that refused (twice) to go in the game, never mentioning any injury.
AB clearly did not adhere to the NFL injury policy that is created as it is to ensure coaches can’t pressure players into playing when injured.
Why would he do that if he was truly injured as he is now claiming???

100 yard pass actually..!

He doesn’t quit..like AB did..Brady is the GOAT

410 yard pass… it was amazing!

@James Bond
Shaken, not stirred.

Nerves of steel, I watched his facial expressions, could only think he is in the first half

Yea AB wants to get paid but he sure doesn’t wanna pay the people he owes. Super Gremlin indeed!

That’s pretty well what pisses me off the most about this and the fact we only needed a few more games out of the whole thing

Yes and if I were Tom I would have AB extracted from his property physically by authorities.

@Davi Clar he already said he’s gunna help AB all he can

Dave V ~ this is really well said & extremely accurate.

The only question is whether it was about injury because AB had tweaked his ankle the week before the game. I wasn’t even sure AB would be playing versus the Jets at all because of that. No matter what AB did a crazy process. But if it was about injury, then it really is too bad.
