Meh. Jimmy G had a lot of success when brady was sidelined. Cam has lots of ability, but has either less brains or still too much immaturity. Brady was a key piece, no doubt, but not irreplaceable. I think NE has other missing pieces this year as well.

Still a funny meme, just because Bill is such a curmudgeon.

Bucs vs Chiefs in the SB. Brady can't throw 3 picks and still win that one, so he better be ready.

I heard the commentator mention the bills stayed in the locker room for the national anthem. Glad they lost.

Eagles fans, over 40 years, have had to watch either NFCE rivals or Pittsburgh(“yinzers”, you may know the type) win the Super Bowl 15 times. Now it’s likely back to back for a former head coach. Brutal.

So congrats Bucs and Chiefs fans(Bart, I think). Both have great QBs who lead the right way.

Two weird calls by LaFleur. The decision to go for two earlier in the half and the decision to kick a FG trailing by eight with two minutes remaining.


Rodgers twice had a chance to tuck it and run on that final drive and he didn’t. He would’ve made in on the 3rd down play, but didn’t have it in him to go for it. Easy to see why he only has 1 ring.

He had nothing but daylight to run it twice. The 2nd time was even more open than @t-gator ’s Mom.

The Patriots have been up against the cap the last 3 year, next year. they will have the second most money under the cap.

I deserve that and more......... Throwing 3 interceptions should earn you a loss in a playoff game but the Buc's showed amazing resolve and determination, the Brady affect!

Go Buc's!

Two of his INTs were basically punts. They were third and long, he was under pressure, and so he tried for something deep. The only bad INT was near the goal line when the ball sailed about three inches too high. I'm surprised Evans didn't catch it though. He's made tougher grabs.

Overall, not Brady's best game, but he played better than the stats suggest. He and the Bucs played aggressive, much more than GB obviously, and the rewards outweighed the risks.

I watched the replay on one of those this morning. He had nothing but daylight ahead of him and at the last split second slung it across his body for an incompletion. Rodgers probably wishes he could have that play over.

Don't see where Tom Brady inherited a "good" Bucs team?
W-L records:
2017 ... 5-11
2018 ... 5-11
2019 ... 7-9
No contender there.
Brady-led 2020 to 11-5 to qualify for these playoffs. There, against the stiff competition, the Bucs are 2-0 and going. Just maybe Brady will play "lights-out" going forward and maybe he just had a bad game vs the Bills? Individual matchups on the lines or at WR may determine what's what, but for Tampa Bay so far Tom Brady has determined what's what.

It’s a trajectory thing, Rog. The Bucs won four of their last six to close out 2019.

Also switched quarterback who had 40 turnovers by himself to a qb who usually doesn't turn the ball over that much.

GB lost the game when instead of going for the touchdown they settled for the field goal late in the fourth.

Yeah, I’d say 2020 turned into a de facto Jameis referendum even if it did involve the GOAT.
