It’s obvious: he’s the Superstar headed for GOAT status possibly permanently, at least for 30 years or more.

You notice, parenthetically of course, that no commentator who ever mentions Brady or his wife when they discuss his “perfect” life, that she was with Leonardo DiCaprio for over five years before Tommy. Just saying....

And yes, that’s petty, but so was that POS Brady when he left the field a loser without congratulating Foles and the Eagles 🦅 for their magnificent win a few years ago.

Because the rules are slanted pretty bad for offenses today. Yeah Brady could be in the top 15 of QBs. There's no way in hell he would survive in the games years ago. I mean today a defense has to be careful anywhere near a QB.

They are defeating themselves with all their penalties.
And you can't blame it on the referees.
Holding penalties and personal fouls?

They get paid millions of dollars and they're playing like junior high school kids.

That said,. They have come back in the past during the second half to win.

Fingers crossed!

That kind of corrupt calls screws with a teams mind. Don't need any excuses. I think it's about being consistent. The Green Bay game is example.

It can happen in a basketball game. Refs could call fouls on a team for playing tough defense, but the other team swipes at the ball and fouls the hell out of the player doesn't get any calls.

Once the refs put the mind set in a team like that it's tough to get out of it because they know the refs will just do the same thing again.

That first half the refs were corrupt. They were like that in the Green Bay game.

If you are sloppy and then let your emotions get out of control, the refs will watch you more closely. Stop making mistakes and get emotions under control. Coaching was a major factor.

Bucs were determined to not allow Tyreek Hill to go off on them like the first time they played this season. Guess Reid and staff forgot they had other amazing weapons at their disposal to make plays; Hellaire-Smith, Kelce, Sammy Watkins and of course Pat Mahomes

Bad coaching is what's to blame, period

The Sporting News- "The Buccaneers quarterback sidestepped the topic on Monday when a reporter asked if Brady had gotten a pass for his support of Trump because he is a white athlete." Brady pulled a trump response, "I'm not sure how to respond to (a) hypothetical like that," answered Brady."

Such as the Chiefs player tripping and barely touched the receiver...who then sells it like a Futbol (soccer) player who got slightly touched and acts like he had collision with a train.

This is why I prefer hockey.
