Tom Brady
With Tom Brady falling below .500 win rate for the first time in two decades, many question have been raised over whether Tampa Bay Buccaneers have hit their worst period? Why would one feel so – this team just lost to a Carolina Panthers side who lost 12 of their last 13 games. The same team were playing with a third-string Quarterback under an interim coach.
After not being able to build upon their positive start in the 2022-23 season, the Bucs were abysmal right from the word, GO! From Mike Evans dropping a sitter in the very first driver to being scoreless in the first three quarters and being humiliated on the defensive end, Tom Brady saw his team play bad to worse as the game went along.
To those who missed the live action, let me bring everyone on the same page- Tom Brady was 32-of-49 passing for 290 yards. One of those incompletions came (on an above-mentioned play) when a wide-open Mike Evans dropped what would have been a 64-yard touchdown on the third play of the game. Which seemingly lowered the confidence of the entire team.
For those who are unaware about the stats of the 7xSuper Bowl Champ – Brady hasn’t had a losing record this far into a season since the 2002 New England Patriots dropped four straight games to fall to 3-4. Brady has never been under .500 after eight games, but this time around it seems like the footballing Gods are testing him to his deepest. Given that this team is finding new problems to tackle in every game, NFL Fans were quick to roast their main-man and the entire team after such a sub-standard display.
This win is only an indication for Tom Brady and his men to pull up their socks, if they are wanting to make a run for the playoffs. Will the Bucs be making a dynamic move to acquire a last-stitch weapon before the trade deadline. Surely, the need for it looks more than ever at this time.
