AP Photo/Mark LoMoglio This is a nightmare scenario for Patriots fans who wanted the team to at least be “meh” this season while also watching Tom Brady succeed in Tampa. Unfortunately, the Pats are worse than “meh” and with an ugly 27-24 home loss on Monday Night Football against the Rams, it’s see to wonder if Brady might be one-and-done in the playoffs for the second straight season. Luckily for…

AP Photo Another week, another win that wasn’t pretty for Brady and the Bucs. As we’ve all learned over the years though, they don’t ask how, just how many. Right now, Brady and his Buccaneers are a seven-win team and just barely behind Green Bay (7-2) and New Orleans (7-2) for the top spot in the NFC playoff standings. “It’s not a game of perfect,” Brady said following the win….

A week after barely escaping a horrific Monday night performance against the Giants with a win, the Buccaneers had a golden opportunity to get things right on Sunday night. The Saints visited for what was billed as an epic Brady and Brees matchup. Instead, it turned into a nightmare scenario for Bruce Arians, Brady and the Bucs. Brees and the Saints punched the Buccaneers in the mouth and they never…

Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports Tom 6, Bill 2. It’s obviously not that simple, but as it stands after Monday night’s 25-23 win for the Buccaneers, Brady is winning the first round of the “was it the coach or quarterback?” argument that will last for decades. Brady technically needed a non-pass interference call to get to 6-2 on the year, but the Bucs are now second in the NFC, just behind…

AP Photo/David Becker This looked familiar. If you were smart enough to flip over to Red Zone or find the Buccaneers-Raiders game during the abysmal Patriots game on Sunday, then you saw Tom Brady looking as good as ever with a vintage performance. The Bucs moved to 5-2 with a dominant 45-20 win and it appears like things are truly starting to click this time. Penalties have been down, the…

The roller coaster that is the 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season was back up on Sunday. After reaching arguably its lowest point of the season following an ugly Thursday night loss to the Bears, the Bucs continued their up-and-down year with an impressive 38-10 win over the previously unbeaten Packers. This one was more about the Tampa defense forcing Green Bay to flat out quit more than anything Brady or…

What a difference three days makes, huh? This past Tuesday in our weekly Tampa Bay Tuesday piece I closed by saying it appeared this Buccaneers team was starting to gel and become a formidable opponent. Well, with an ugly 20-19 loss to the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football, I could not have been more wrong. The game ended with Tom Brady giving us his best Brian Hoyer impression, forgetting…

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports It still doesn’t look right, but Tom Brady and the Buccaneers are 2-1. Brady went in to what is usually a house of horrors for him and had a good day to help get the Bucs a 28-10 win over the Broncos. We all know how it’s usually looked when he went to Denver in his career, so this was probably a nice little mental hurdle…
