Tom is the goat, but this week he is the enemy and he must be destroyed.
 
Some context on how the decline at the offensive skill positions forced Brady to look elsewhere. The decision to let these positions decline were strange to say the least.

Cook as the versatile deep threat would have been WR1. Cook had already shown that he is a top 15 WR1 on the same level of Mike Evans. They let him walk and kept Dorsett who was really a WR4 in the Scottie Miller mold. So no WR1.

Amendola was a good compliment to Edelman. A WR2B to Edelman's 2A. No reason to let him walk as he was affordable. Hogan was a good Wr3 but he wasn't a replacement for Amendola/Edelman.

No TE help for Gronk as he was being overused and beat up. Especially being double teamed and facing the best defenders. They kept on bringing in scrubs.

Then the drafts were just odd. Backup Sony Michel over his teammate starter Nick Chubb? NKEAL Harry- his film and draft analysis reviews were awful for a 1st rounder. The analysis that he couldn't separate was spot on, thus, highlight reels of jump balls against collegiate players. Even if he could win jump balls against NFL players, how often does Brady throw jump balls? 1 per game on average. Nkeal was not the right fit for Brady and possibly any other QB for that matter.
 
If Wynn can't go, our tackles would be Durant & Herron? Good lord.
You could basically pencil this in as Tampas best game of the year for sacks. Wouldn't be a better line to tee up on and get momentum for that defense.

Yikes.
 
Gronk DNP for the Bucs today.
 
Vegas did not set the line high enough…wow. I was thinking it should be 7.5. It started at 5.5. However, I think the Patriots will definitely cover and have a good shot to win.

 
'The decision to let these positions decline'

3 SB in a row.
10 SB in 20 years

It has been so automatic
that it seems reasonable to assume
BB decides to not win.

MAC AND CHEEZ:

Regarding pass catchers
The accepted minimum standard for designated pass catchers is
they catch the ball

Proven by the 300 or so who caught TB passes
Proven wrong by high priced divas, across the league
And that 300, or so, were required

A problem in the head. not the hands
So they trend as head cases
A chicken/egg problem.

Possible SOLUTION:
Kraft Cheeze:
Cash For Catches

Complain about attempts?
Benched.
Clunkers get Bus Trip HOME

Mac and CheeZ
For the Win.

Some extra Motivation, esp for the broke new kids
MOE LARRY> THE CHEESE <
 
Brady leads all QBs in fantasy football points. Told you guys he wants to break every record. Lmao
 
This pretty much sums up how I was feeling on Sunday after seeing Brady with that look on his face we have all become too familiar with when
he knew was gonna lose to the Rams.
