Brady to Fox after he retires


I just hope the Patriots defense makes some progress and forces them to punt sometime. 9 quarters and counting since the last time they punted against us. Yikes
At the end of last season, we learned that Stevie B., Mayo, and Patricia were all leading defensive meetings at different times during the stretch run.
And recently, Stevie B. reaffirmed what we all already know, Bill has his hand in everything.

The result of the melding of such great defensive minds last season===>0 opposition punts in 9 qtrs vs Buffalo

whuh whuh huh...? He was #2 in MVP voting. His yards per game was the best in 10 years. His TD's per game was the best in 14 years. On what planet is that signs of "fading"..??!?
You basically confirm my statement that Brady played like axx in the post season. That is why you must bring in his regular season stats because youre on quicksand trying to defend his LA game. Without LA being careless and fumbling 4 times (once at the Bucs goal line) there is no comeback.

Brady for the day - 1 TD - 1 INT - 3 Sacks - 1 Fumble - 3 for 14 @ 3rd down. 72 QBR.

The game was LA 27 - 6 TAMPA with 3:02 remaining in the 3rd quarter. Up to that point Brady looked 53 years old.
You people are hilarious. I mean, seriously... you haters are desperately trying to spin it that anything less than a Super Bowl championship is an abysmal failure, which is idiotic.

What is comical are fans who would line up for a chance to wash Bradys jock strap.
The only thing embarrassing here is you. There is nothing embarrassing about losing 30-27 to the eventual Super Bowl champs. It sure is a lot better than losing 47-17 to the team that lost to the team that lost to the team that lost to the Super Bowl champs, wouldn't you agree?

Like I stated, you cant defend Bradys $hitty post season performance. Divisional Round - Los Angeles Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - January 23rd, 2022 | Pro-Football-Reference.com
 
You basically confirm my statement that Brady played like axx in the post season.
Tom Brady in the postseason:

59 for 91, 600 yards, 3 TD's, 1 INT

It takes a special type of idiocy to look at that stat line and say "Brady played like axx in the post season".

That is why you must bring in his regular season stats because youre on quicksand trying to defend his LA game.
And you're on quicksand to act like he is "fading" because he had a mediocre game against the eventual Super Bowl champs.

Like I said, you haters are desperately trying to establish that anything less than a Super Bowl championship means he is done when fact is he was arguably the best QB in the League last season, and only a complete moron would say he was anything less than top-3.

I sure wish Bill Belichick would be "fading" as much as Tom Brady.

Correct. Until LAR started fumbling, the Bucs were dead. He was bad for most of the game.

When you have to cherry pick about 20 minutes of a game out of existence to make your point, then you only prove how weak your point is.

He played well against Philadelphia but his stat line in the NFCD game before the Rams started fumbling was not good. Overall against the Rams he was 30 of 54 (55%), 329 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT for the game...nothing great.

I agree, when you stop the ridiculous cherry picking and look at the final statline, it is nothing great... but if we are being honest, it isn't a terrible performance either.

One single mediocre postseason game (after a stellar season) is not an indication that he is "fading".
It isn't him "playing like axx".
And it sure as hell isn't a "$hitty postseason performance."

I didn't say it was a terrible performance. That was triumph. And it wasn't just 20 minutes of the game. Brady didn't do much for the first 45 minutes. The Bucs first TD came with 12 second left in the 3rd quarter. . . off a Rams turnover.
 
I agree with the premise that had the Rams not had those ridiculous Pop Warner fumbles, Brady was dead to rights. However, those are just “what if’s”.

What if Brady didn’t throw 3 INT’s against the Packers up 28-10 in the NFCCG the year prior? Rodgers has no shot at a comeback.

Or what if the Falcons didn’t go brain dead against the Pats up 28-3 in the 3rd quarter of the damn Super Bowl? Brady leads no comeback.

You can’t fault the player in this case Tom or Aaron Rodgers for taking advantage of the other team imploding (Rams/Falcons or Brady vs Rodgers).

This is why cherry picking is so asinine. Tell you what, let me eliminate 20 minutes from the game and give what’s left over. Think I could make that final statline better than it was?
 
At some point he has to fade.

Happens to all athletes. Denver Bronco Peyton Manning began a season throwing for 5 TDs and ended the year throwing weak rainbow ducks. That season was the beginning of the end of Mannings elite status.. He was never the same QB.

I am grateful for all that Brady did as a Patriot, but tired of his incessant drama. This season is bound to more of media outlets latching on to get a piece of the Brady story.
He won't stop he is a narcissist like his buddy Trump. He will be like this til he dies. Wait til we see his golf game, he is a loser playing golf, cheats like Trump.
 
They have the same D-line, same LB's and worse secondary. Hard to believe anything will be different.

As usual, they will find ways to have a decent "rank" for their defense, but will get overpowered by competent offenses when it matters.
Same LB’s? Hightower, collins, and KVN are all gone. It’s about as top to bottom an overhaul as you can get. Now did they replace them with quality? That’s a fair question and one we won’t have an answer to for 5-6 months but they did replace big old slow guys with smaller young fast guys so hopefully they are in position to make a tackle or two.

The only loser here is you.

I have referred to the LA game 3 times thus far. Beating up on a lousy Eagles team is not impressive.

Like I stated, you cant defend the LA game. Even the biggest Brady fan knows he played like crap.

And you're on quicksand to act like he is "fading" because he had a mediocre game against the eventual Super Bowl champs.
Now the LA game is "mediocre" What about his great 2021 post season stats?

Even when Brady plays terrible its actually mediocre.

Like I said, you haters are desperately trying to establish that anything less than a Super Bowl championship means he is done when fact is he was arguably the best QB in the League last season, and only a complete moron would say he was anything less than top-3.
I am simply pointing out Bradys bad post season play vs LA.

Again, the regular season has ZERO to do with my statement. Hopefully I'm getting through to you.

I sure wish Bill Belichick would be "fading" as much as Tom Brady.

The same weak meaningless stats that include an awful Eagles team win.

I realize that you have nothing and need to keep dragging up the regular season and the MVP that was allegedly stolen by Rogers. When do the 7 Super Bowls enter this thread?
 
Brady is the most clutch postseason player in the history of the NFL and the second player on the list (whoever that is because it's not at all obvious) is a million miles away. Better yet Brady is most clutch postseason player in history of all professional team sports.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...... so you are trying to demonstrate Brady is fading by ignoring all his good games and only looking at the mediocre ones. Do you have any idea stupid you sound talking about how poorly Brady played during the postseason last year, and then trying to throw out one of those postseason games?

"played like axx in the post season." - Triumph (direct quote)
"oh but we can't include the Philly game when evaluating his postseason play because reasons" - Triumph (paraphrased)
Like I stated, you cant defend the LA game. Even the biggest Brady fan knows he played like crap.
I have stated several times: He did not play well in that game, nor did he play terribly.
Now the LA game is "mediocre" What about his great 2021 post season stats?
Yes, that is the term I have been using all along. To state for the 100th time: He did not play well, nor did he play terribly in that game.
Even when Brady plays terrible its actually mediocre.
You're the only person on this board who is calling Brady's performance in that game "terrible." Even Andy refused to make that stretch. That speaks volumes.

Again, the regular season has ZERO to do with my statement. Hopefully I'm getting through to you.
You are trying to make the argument that Brady is fading. Looking at one single postseason game - and ignoring the entirety of the rest of the season - is moronic.

Brady is the most clutch postseason player in the history of the NFL and the second player on the list (whoever that is because it's not at all obvious) is a million miles away. Better yet Brady is most clutch postseason player in history of all professional team sports.
He is a victim of his own success. He has set such an incredibly high standard that anything short of a Super Bowl Championship is used by phenomenally ignorant people as evidence that he is a failure.

Brady made it to the final-8 last year. He won a playoff game, which is more than some teams have done in years (and for 2 teams, you can use the term "decades" not "years"). This is the type of season most teams would look at and conclude they had a damn decent year. But the haters look at such a loss as evidence of his abilities "fading".
 
Bucs players when asked their thoughts about Brady retiring / unretiring, all said the same thing: they couldn't believe he was retiring because he was still playing at an elite level, or not surprised he unretired for the same reason.

I'll take the word of Brady's teammates over any Brady hater that have been proven ad naseum to be consistently wrong. Only injuries (like happened last season) is keeping them from the NFCCG.

Right, the guy who is "second" on the list by most people's standards has a higher Super Bowl rating and playoff rating in general than the first guy. And the guy at the top of the list couldn't close out SB 42, 46, or 52 against crappy teams. Lastly, the guy who is first on the list has never had a long game winning or game tying scoring drive with less than a minute left to go in the 4th (like what Stafford did last year vs TB).

No one actually believes Brady is fading... if anyone is saying that then they're lying. He just had perhaps his best back-to-back seasons of his entire spectacular career. Look back through his career and let me know if you can find better back-to-back seasons. He should have won league MVP last season... and by a good margin... Rodgers is the biggest fraud in the NFL. Tampa Bay lost in the playoffs because Brady was down 2 of his top 3 WRs and he was having to make it work with Evans and a bunch of chumps. As it was he nearly pulled off a miracle comeback against the eventual SB winner. Name another team in the NFL that would have even sniffed a playoff win being down 2 of their top 3 WRs.

The Patriots defenses ultimately lost those Super Bowls. The HC lost SB 52 all by himself.

Brady > Montana by every standard imaginable... stats, winning, clutchness, leadership, toughness, etc. Brady literally has had a better career than Montana and Young combined.
