Tampa Bay Times' Buccaneers Insider Rick Stroud and Rich discuss Tom Brady's “uncertain” future with the Bucs and if TB12 will return for another season at age 45, what impact Antonio Brown's very public blowout and departure had on Tampa's playoff exit at the hands of the Rams, and how the possible departure of Offensive Coordinator Byron Leftwich means for Brady's decision-making process when determining whether or not to retire.     Rich rebuts a 49ers fan who's ready to move on from Jimmy Garoppolo, explains why the embattled Niners QB deserves some kudos despite his many shortcomings but shouldn't get too used to being San Francisco's starting QB beyond this season.    Rich reacts to two curious referee incidents in the NFL Divisional round games where Tom Brady was flagged for Unsportsmanlike Conduct for barking in face of official Sean Hochuli, and the other when Tyreek Hill didn't draw a taunting flag despite flashing the “V/peace sign” during his long touchdown vs the Bills.   Rich gives props to Matthew Stafford for rewarding the risk the Rams took by trading for the longtime Detroit Lions QB, and comments on Joe Burrow taking the Bengals from laughing stock to the verge of the Super Bowl in just two NFL seasons.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without two more players for the remainder of the regular season as running back Leonard Fournette will be placed on injured reserve while Lavonte David, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, will miss the final three games with a foot injury. That means, the Bucs have lost Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, Leonard Fournette, and Lavonte David all stemming from the 9-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints. As a result of Fournette heading to injured reserve, the Buccaneers will be signing running back Le'Veon Bell. Bell, who played in five games with the Baltimore Ravens this season, will back up Ronald Jones. With Gio Bernard also out, the Bucs were down to RoJo and Ke'Sahwn Vaughn as their running backs. Bell is a receiving threat out of the backfield but I wouldn't expect much from him in these last three games. Mina Kimes of ESPN sounded off about the Antonio Brown situation, but wasn't upset about the return of AB to the Bucs' roster. Instead, she put her focus towards Bruce Arians and a problem that spans across the league when it comes to talented players that find themselves making bad decisions or getting in trouble. Finally, Lucky the DJ calls in about Chris Godwin and it creates an opportunity to bring up a movement among Bucs fans that is worth talking about. With all the negative news and fallout from the loss Sunday, it's great to see Buccaneers fans showing their love and support for Chris Godwin by donating to his foundation. If you are interested in helping, head to teamgodwin.org and join the swell of Bucs fans all showing Chris their appreciation.
