It’s a bit of a conundrum that’s for sure.

I think the Bucs have been too inconsistent to rest starters. Regardless of the winning record stuff.

 

[Guts]

Lions are win and they’re in.

So yeah Packers are getting in.

Where does Seattle fall in all of this? They have the same record as GB

 

[Deus Irae]

BACK. TO. BACK. The @Buccaneers are the CHAMPS of the NFC South!

Being the king of a hill of garbage is still a king.

 

[Tottie]

And having Julio Jones front and center is kind of an insult to the team full of scubs.

 

[Deus Irae]

Mike Evans is the first player in franchise history to record to touchdown receptions of 50-plus yards in the same game.

 

[Deus Irae]

Brady's apparently got another record:

Tom Brady (32 of 42, 418 yards, 3 TDs) is the first player in NFL history to complete at least 30 passes in five consecutive games, per #Bucs

Brady's apparently got another record:

If only all of them were wins.

Tom Brady was asked how he'd feel if Bucs asked him to sit next week, and he said it would bother him because he has worked hard not to miss games, so he doesn't want to. Not saying he'll finish the game next week, but I'd fully expect him to start against Atlanta.

 

[NFL Mystique]

In Brady's "worst" season record wise, at 45, he will finish with at least 24 TD's, and nearly 4700k passing yards.

Brady at his very worst is still better than certain QB's at their best.

The fact he will likely get a winning record with the clown coaching and injuries, is very impressive.

First vintage Brady game in awhile

The other 3 dramatic comeback wins don't count? Brady has saved the Bucs' season by repeatedly engineering improbable comebacks. Call me crazy but he deserves MVP consideration for overcoming the deficits and his own head coach working against him.

Bucs finally got a rushing TD today... from TOM BRADY!

Whatever the right decision is, Bowles will do the opposite. Don't worry.

No they were against trash teams.
You are crazy if you think he deserves MVP lol

This game wasn't coached any better either and it won't change with this staff. To win with this style, and I've said this since 2020, you must have excellent execution. Both sides of the ball. They started scoring once they stopped even trying to run and they need that to be the formula from the start in 2 weeks.

Is there another team in the NFL more screwed without their quarterback constantly saving their ass?

 

[crawhammer]

As much as I want Brady to closeout another winning regular season, if they're resting a ton of players who need the rest because they're less than 100%, then Brady can NOT play. So of course Bowles will start him.

 

[Deus Irae]

Tom Brady's 432 passing yards today matches the fifth-most in his NFL career and his high with the Bucs. His quarterback rating of 127.3 is his fifth-best with the Bucs and his best this season.

 

[Deus Irae]

Tom Brady's longest touchdown pass all season entering today was 31 yards, and he had three just to Mike Evans today for 63, 57 and 30 yards. Definitely helps the old yards per attempt.

 

[Deus Irae]

Not only did Brady connect well with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin today, he barely missed -- Evans had 10 catches for 207 on 12 targets, and Godwin had nine catches for 120 on nine targets. 19-of-21 for 327 to two receivers will get it done most days.

Brady went 4-for-8 on throws to Otton and 30-for-34 on throws to everyone else today. And Otton still made a great catch late, and recovered Carolina's onsides kick.
