Hopefully the Saints are like 3-11 or whatever when they play the Bucs in Tampa so they won’t have a possible playoffs spot to motivate them.

Hence why I said Doubtful. Also after seeing the context of Brady's comments I don't think it's a guarantee he won't retire after this year.

Seems like he was more commenting to speculations he could retire before the season is up and was refuting that notion

Ironically Giselle has given us fans new hope that another Brady season is in play.

Clown

You're literally putting a video on a Pats forum of Whitlock one of the most notorious Patriots hater to push your anti-Brady agenda.

Brady isn't a Patriot, IF you had actually LISTENED you would have noted that Whitlock observes that Brady has CHANGED. Your Welcome.

 

[patsfan13]

TB was trending on Twitter and the reason being now military folks are upset at him lmao TMZ actually made a story about it.

Brady has beclowned himself, sad to see. Pathetic that people still knob wash him no matter what.

Whitlock is an anti semite, mysognist, and racist who is heavy into Black Israelite/Hotep conspiracy shi.t (if you’ve never heard of these things oh man it’s a rabbit hole or craziness) and is a useful idiot to people like Glenn Beck’s website solely because he’s black so I couldn’t give one crap about anything he has to say about another human being.

1st play on Sunday, a run.

Great pick up for San Fran.

Fire sale in Carolina?

1st play on Sunday, a run.

Bucs are last in the NFL in Y/A at 3.1.

Here are their 1st down rushes vs Pittsburgh in the second half...

0 yards (Fournette)
3 yards (Fournette)
2 yards (Fournette)
8 yards (Fournette)
-2 yards (Fournette)
0 yards (White)
4 yards (White)
3 yards (Fournette)
2 yards (Fournette)

That's 2.2 Y/A.

Here are all of their rushes vs Pittsburgh in the red zone...

1 yard (Fournette)
2 yards (Fournette)
-3 yards (Fournette)
2 yards (Fournette)
-2 yards (Fournette)

That's 0 Y/A.

Fournette is 44th in the NFL in rushing yards before contact per rushing attempt at 1.9. He hasn't been very good after contact either with 1.7 rushing yards after contact per rush which is 30th in the NFL.

Maybe it's the o-line's fault but there's consistently nothing there with their running game. There's way more potential with their passing game, including due to pass protection where Brady has been pressured on only 12.5% of his dropbacks. Brady also leads the NFL in percentage of on-target throws per pass attempt at 81.6% which is why he also leads the NFL in INT percentage at 0.4% (which is on pace for a single season record). They need to be throwing the ball more on 1st downs for sure.

People think poor early-down runs have set up third-and-longer for the Bucs this year. Last year, their average third down needed 6.2 yards. This year, 6.3. Yet the Bucs have gone from 2nd in third-down conversions to 22nd. We break down the numbers here:

 

[Deus Irae]

Two years ago, Bucs led the NFL with 33 plays of 30+ yards. Last year? 27. But this year, the Bucs have four, total. Only the Rams have fewer. Bucs have one TD pass longer than 13 yards, after 11 last season. Why they're missing the downfield passing game:

 

[Deus Irae]

Bucs have the league's worst run game, but it's much worse in the red zone: 18 carries, 12 yards. Short yardage? Leonard Fournette is 3-for-9 this year in third- or fourth-and-1, matching the lowest conversion rate in the league. More hard truths in here:

 

[Deus Irae]

As Patriots fans, we've seen this act before. This is 2013 and, even more, this is 2019. The difference here is that this Bucs team has the chance to turn things around and become a SB-level team, whereas 2019 became 2019 over the course of the season, rather than at the start.

Also, this Bucs team is just 3-3, and is floundering. But, even with that, it's 2 Russell Gage blown plays from probably being 5-1.

 

[Deus Irae]

Bucs practice in an hour. Lots of injury concerns still — would seem like Akiem Hicks, Cam Brate, Sean Murphy-Bunting would be ruled out today. Julio Jones and Carlton Davis are question marks, Mike Edwards and Shaq Mason more likely to go.

Friday practice! Seems like good progress today for Shaq Mason, Carlton Davis, Mike Edwards, all practicing. Still no Hicks, Brate, Murphy-Bunting.

The league is down, everyone is hurt,

Helps that game in 2 weeks.
