Todd...exit stage left.

Bruce....enter stage right.

Tom...Gisselle was right.

0 points 27 minutes into the game, and remember, folks, that Tom Brady is playing as good as ever.

Yes that perfectly placed deep ball that Mike Evans bobbled into the first row was all his fault.

What about the rest of the game?

Probably his weakest game of the year but he played fine. Did you watch any of it or are you just trolling? I don’t see how anybody could watch that game and walk away thinking Tom was the problem.

-Correct me if I'm wrong but they lost a starting OG to retirement and Alex Cappa left for Cinci, plus Jensen has been absent all season with injury
Starting LG-C-RG are different than what they had in '20 and '21. Now they did bring in Shaq from the Patriots but they still seem weak up the middle and cannot push the pile or run the football right now, not sure what role Fournette is playing in the ground game being so weak.

I'd like to get your thoughts on what they need to get the ship steered back around, the NFC is weak and they still are 1st in South at 3-4, they likely will make the Playoffs but dropping to 3-5 vs the Ravens would be ugly. I think they can pass the football successfully vs a weak secondary if they try hard.

The Bucs have many problems, but your position really is that the QB played fine in a game in which his offense scored 3 points? This is a strange hill to die on. It's not awful to acknowledge that age is starting to catch up to Brady (which is clear with both the eye test and the numbers game), but if you want to cling to your "he is better than ever" narrative, have at it.

Replace the LG with Nick Leverett and replace Lenny with White. He looks way more explosive and decisive with the ball. Get the ball to Otton more in the seam. Brady likes throwing it there and without Gronk hasn’t had many options to do so.

Other than that they are what they are at this point.
