Hi guys. Long time PewterReport member here, was briefly a part of this community too before the address switch. I browse here from time to time but forgot my password til now and couldn't recover it. I already know who many of you are. Hey Pewterslimisme (moozician now, i think?!) Hey Bootz, Hey Babeinbucland, noles etc. Doubt many of you remember me, but here we are.

LETS BEAT THOSE LIONS!

Sadly Pewterslimesme passed away a few years back. Moozican is a totally different poster and has kept Slimey’s sig pic as a salute to his friends in memorandum.

Great to have you back and even better to see you posting! Go Bucs!

Oh, I think I remember that now but im not sure. Damn

Did he manage to see our 2020 run?

Glad to be back too! PR is great, but very sparse.

Both Lion losses they were kept under 100 yards in rushing.
Their last two games they have scored 54 points and given up 54 points.

You know you’re getting to Bootz when he whips out the “kiddo” card.

It truly baffles me that he has dug in so hard on this particular topic. Well known and well respected journalists have spoken to the 30M offer, and it's come from the horse's mouth; but he quintuples down on it being speculation.

TBH, I'm impressed with how he's hunkered down into what he thinks is some form of impenetrable position, completely unaware of the bunker busters falling from the sky.

But on the other hand, this is my guy. Driver of discussions, captain of contortion, ruler of rabbit holes. Has some great takes; and wears egg on his face like it aint there in other circumstances. A true legend of the forums.

Well then where's the quote? If it came straight from the horses mouth, share the quote. This isn't rocket science.

I agree 100% with Rocker especially the last paragraph.

Well, regardless of the quote or the actual dollar figure, our team is the one with egg on their face if Godwin can't make it back to 90% of his old self. We're stuck with that contract regardless. Honestly I was surprised the team kept both Evans and Godwin on at those salaries. I figured one of the two would either be traded or let go. To then double up on it when Godwin was in the thick of a unclear road back from injury was ... something else.

Anyway, with all these injuries, I'm just glad we used our 7th round pick on a productive (not a project) WR who might just help us win Monday night.

[Pirate Life]

There’s no way New England offered him more guaranteed money or was willing to half ass the physical.

They gave Diggs $63 million over three years with $16 million guaranteed, so higher per year than Godwin’s reported contract. Diggs’ has an out after a year, which lowered the guaranteed money to protect the cap. Lots of incentives, many likely to be earned.

But they signed him without a physical until training camp, likely was the same with Godwin’s offer. Both guys passed their physicals at camp.

[Pirate Life]

Bootz, I get that you are stubborn and do your damndest to never admit you are mistaken, but c’mon man. Not even mcb is this dense.

He said if he signed with New England it was solely for the money because everything else was keeping him here.

This isn’t bizzaro world. If New England’s selling point for him was the money, there’s no way on God’s Green Earth they were offering the same or less. They’d have no selling point if that was the case.

You can stick your fingers in your ears, dig your heels in and keep moving the goal posts on what you want him to have said exactly word for word, but even you know you are wrong. You aren’t even putting up the usual Bootz fight or distraction from the topic.

I'm just asking you to show me. Shouldn't be hard. You're using a word salad to dodge showing me.

No word salad, only dodging is from you. Just your lack of reading comprehension apparently since I’ve put the quote here multiple times.

So how about this, what do you think Godwin means in this quote:

“If I ended up going to New England, it would have been solely based off money because everything else was telling me to stay here,” he says.



It’s quoted multiple times b

[Beatles123]

So here are my thoughts on Monday's game, copied from my post on PR:

Bucs win if:

- We score more points than the Lions at the end of 4 quarters
This is a big one. It could be important. We'd be wise to try it.

- We wear kneecap guards while within Detroit city limits
They can't bite off what they can't chew!

- Tez Johnson does another flip and its even cooler
I think he should try three in a row. The Lions wouldn't possibly be able to handle that kind of power!

- Mike Evans returns
I mean, they can't double ALL our guys. Not anymore. Even if Mike is guarded most of the game, as long as he frees up Tez, Shep, or Cameron we should be okay

- Baker keeps being Baker
Need i say anymore? He's the best thing to happen to us in years that wasn't Brady-related. Keep letting him loose, run the offense, and don't get him hurt. Which leads me to...

- The Oline does it's job
We can't slack on their D. It'll pound us good if we don't have protection. Pause.

- The Refs aren't piss drunk like they've been for the past few weeks
HOW WAS IT NOT A FUMBLE, REFS?! HUH?! THE BALL WAS BOBBLED! THE BALL WAS FUCKI-

- We bounce a ball off a helmet again
It worked once!

- We don't turn the ball over
This is what cost us against the Fleagles. We should be 5-0 right now!

Lions win if:

- We score fewer points than the Lions at the end of 4 quarters
This is a big one. It could be important. We'd be wise not to try it.

- Barry Sanders comes out of retirement
It could happen, and we don't want that. He was scary!

- Dan Campbell eats our entire bench
He looked hungry against KC. The Chiefs keep Reid motivated this way too.

- Tez Johnson does another flip and its even cooler (and fails)
Last thing we need is another injury. PRACTICE THE LANDING, TEZ!

- We run too many plays that cause Todd Bowels to have that weird, confused looking smirk on the sideline
Listen man, when that face comes out that's the face of a man who's running too many programs at once in his internal OS. Usually when he gets like that he finds a way to reboot from safe mode after the half and get things working again, but if it's in the third quarter and he's made that face two or three times already, we could be in trouble.

- The refs remember 2010
"HEY, BOB! GET A LOAD OF THIS! I WAS JUST ON PEWTER REPORT THIS WEEK: YOU REMEMBER WHEN..."

You need to do a thread on the pre-games every week like Ichabod does with the post-games every week. Well...most every week. He missed last week's due to personal reasons.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, here was his last post-game thread:
viewtopic.php?t=2572

[Backside]

Lions are my favorite non Bucs team. My Dad and in-laws are all Lions fans and they are super fun, so other than when they play the Bucs I’m always rooting for them.

Needless to say, I’m hoping for a rematch of this game in the NFCCG. As for Monday, I really wanted the Lions to beat the Chiefs, instead they played terribly. They will be pissed off all week and coming home, I expect they will play very well even with all of the injuries and no Branch. We know a big time let down game will come at some point this year, and if we lose big I won’t be surprised, or make too much of it. But if Bucs come ready to play then there is no reason this shouldn’t be a super fun game. If Baker continues playing as well as he has been then we should be able to match them shot for shot.

If the defense gets Zyon and BMo back I’d love to see them slow down the Lions a bit and harass Goff. Will depend on the front 7 and what kind of pressures Bowles can dial up. And we will see how the stout run D holds up against the great Lions rushing attack and the very dangerous Gibbs. I assume Mike will play but no clue what version we will get. If he is mostly himself he should be a beast at keeping the chains moving and in the red zone against these backup secondary players.

Really hoping the game delivers as much fun as it looks like it should. I want everyone watching to be buzzing after this one, saying these are the two best teams in the NFC

OH MY GOD, i swear I had no idea he was doing that. Now it looks like I ripped him off! LMAO

I think i'll earn my keep here a little before I go writing any threads of my own. PR's used to my humor after so many years but it took a lot of people not understanding me at first. Don't wanna come across as too much of a loony right away lol

[Sooner06]

haven't had a chance to read through this thread, so this is probably a lot of repetition. So excuse me if this has all been said before.


I think the biggest concern for me is Aiden Hutchinson. he wrecked our OL, particularly the RT last year, and well, Heck isn't even in the same zip code as Skule. So this is going to be a big problem. Hopefully we have some kind of plan for Hutch, something better than 'let's see if heck can block Hutchinson 1v1, because I have a feeling that's not going to work out very well.

But let's assume that we have a plan and that it mostly works for a minute. If we can keep Baker somewhat clean, I think we might have a chance, mostly because DET secondary is banged up and Branch is suspended. Even then, it'll be tough sledding because Sterling might be our WR1 and Kam or Tez will then be our WR2 on Monday. That's obviously not ideal.

But DET's OL is dinged up, and if KC's DL could hold the Lions' run game down to a crawl, TB's ought to be able to do at least as well, I would think. And that could be enough to give TB a solid chance to steal this game. Obviously, our STs can't get blocked and/or give up TDs, and they can't miss FGs. Heck, we're going to have to play pretty clean football to have a legit chance in this one. But we've been playing relatively clean the last two weeks, so why not?

hopefully, Baker won't need to pull another '3rd-and-Bake' type play (he can't be asked to pull those out every game, right???), otherwise Baker needs to bake, Sterling will need to step up a bit more, and we're probably going to need at least one other WR/TE to make a couple plays. But I think this is a winnable game, especially if Tb can keep it within a score going into the 4th quarter.

What changes for you if Evans is healthy and plays on Monday?

off the top of my head, about a TD, possibly as many as 10 pts.

Mike is a game-changer; DET D will have to account for him on every play, and that will distort the defense by eating up resources, whether they straight up double him, or try to bracket/box him or whatever their counters are for guys like Mike. That should open things up for Sterling and Otton, as well as probably/possibly create holes for the running game to his side. And with DET missing several starters in the secondary, there's bound to be miscommunication issues that lead to busted coverages at points during the game.

Also, because of the chemistry between Evans and Baker, they can play the two-man game where they ad lib plays like those 10+ yd back shoulder passes to the boundary side if DET is foolish enough to show single man over Evans with a S playing deep/shaded to the field side. Or plays like that smoke route Baker and Evans ran for a TD vs. HOU (I think?).

And Grizz can take advantage of DET's banged up secondary by scheming plays that put these inexperienced DBs in decision-making binds, that either spring Mike loose for big plays or someone else like Tez or Sterling or whoever.

Bottom line, Mike creates defensive issues that no one else can (Mek will become that guy down the road, but right now it's Mike) and so long as Baker/Grizz don't get caught up in trying to chase Evan's 1,000 yds or whatever, they should be able to stay ahead of the sticks and put points up more efficiently just because Mike's on the field.

Google "How much money did the New England Patriots offer Chris Godwin?"

"The New England Patriots offered Chris Godwin a multi-year deal worth an average of $30 million per year, which was reportedly worth about $120 million over four years. Godwin turned down this offer, which his agent described as "generational money," to re-sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a three-year, $66 million contract instead.
Patriots Offer: $30 million per year, with a total value potentially reaching $120 million over four years.

Godwin's Decision: He chose to stay with the Buccaneers for family reasons, even though it meant turning down significantly more money.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers re-signed Godwin earlier this offseason despite a $30 million-per-season offer from the Patriots, according to The Athletic's Dan Pompei. Godwin is on a new three-year, $66 million contract, which shows his confidence level staying with Tampa and quarterback Baker Mayfield after winning the NFC South last season.


Yes, the New England Patriots offered Chris Godwin a multi-year contract averaging around $30 million per year, but he turned it down to re-sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Godwin ultimately chose to stay with the Buccaneers on a three-year, $66 million deal, citing family as the reason for his decision over the larger offer from the Patriots.
Patriots' Offer: The Patriots offered an average of approximately $30 million per year on a multi-year deal.
Godwin's Decision: He chose to accept a three-year, $66 million contract with the Buccaneers, averaging $22 million per season.
Reasoning: Godwin stated that his decision to stay in Tampa was based on his family, not the money.

Next!

[Selmon Rules]

So where is it quoted that he was offered more by New England? Not your speculating and assuming. Where did he say that for certain? Or are you admitting you're just assuming that's what he meant? It's very easy to prove he said it if he did.
