Weak is an understatement. They are the worst in the nfl.
If Dunlap and Adams can get pressure on Brady then it'll help out their CBs a lot.

Would anyone take the Brees/Payton combo over mahomes/Reid?????
The Saints have had ONE complete game this year and that was yesterday. Everything else was pretty average, handed to them by incompetent opponents (e.g. Bears or the first game against the Bucs) or a loss. Payton/Brees are not even close to being the best QB/coach duo in the league.
Really the only silver lining here is that the new playoff format makes the result a little less devastating. Sure, the Saints or Bucs had a chance at the #1 seed, but chances are they’re both playing wild card weekend and needing to win 4 playoff games. Add in the limited HFA with Covid and you’re not talking about the same type of monumental disadvantage as last year. But the Bucs are going nowhere.
My guess is they fire Arians and hire McDaniels next season. Not that I think Josh is a great coach, but I just expect this to happen.
They’re exactly what we thought they’d be, only more talented (league leading DVOA by a wide margin.) They’re a typical Arians boom-or-bust team. Look no further than their results against Green Bay and New Orleans. To have three absolute blowouts when facing other strong teams isn’t a fluke but the quintessential Bruce Arians experience.

Isn’t it 3 games? Just win 3 and get to the super bowl. The bye team just have to win 2. If the Bucs don’t win a playoff game it will be a failure of a season and i can see coaches getting canned.
Reid may find a way to bumble his way out of the postseason most years but Mahomes the gap between Mahomes and Brees is miles long.Would anyone take the Brees/Payton combo over mahomes/Reid?

Did they really? That's nuts.Just an FYI. Good Morning America led with this sports story today. ABC not missing a chance to pile on Tom Brady. National news during a pandemic and election. They took significant time to highlight Drew Brees's *** whopping of Tom Brady.
There are 7 playoff teams this year, which means the 2 seed doesn't get a bye and has to play on wild card weekend. So every team other than the 1 seed has to win 4 playoff games.

That's the risk you take with signing with TB after a stellar career in NE...you subject yourself to criticism if you don't win. He could have avoided all this, but he (and Gisele) wanted to stick it to Belichick for treating him like Johnny Foxboro...
Any reason why you’re not switching Wirfs to left tackle? Jesus, Donovan Smith sucks.
That dude isn't just bad, he's Marshall Newhouse level. Brady went from Newhouse to Smith as his LT and the transition is seamless.Where was most of the pressure coming from? Any inside pressure? I been saying that about smith. He stinks. Did the right side with wirfs give up pressure?
That's not the argument. Of course not every player Brady doesn't take a liking to is a superstar.Lol yeah all those superstars that were being held back by Brady are really flourishing now.

I'd say at this stage in his career he favors reliable and dependability. He gave meyers, Harry and the dud tight ends a chance. He favored Edelman because he was the only sure fire pass catcher on the team that knows how to do his job. Even Sanu got a lions share of the work last year. Last night he seemed to be forcing it to his old faithful players, but part of it was panic being down by such a large margin trying to make magic when his line couldn't pass protect.Yeah, but that's not the argument. Of course not every player Brady doesn't take a liking to is a superstar.
The argument is that his fixation and liking of certain players, and his seeming willingness to freeze out those he doesn't trust, could lead to lost production if open players are missed, and/or if covered players are forced.
I'm not sure if that narrative is actually true because I simply haven't looked at the data (the film), but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility based on Brady's previous comments and some film others have shown.
And just to be clear, before I get jumped all over, Brady is the GOAT and there's no QB I'd rather have.
