Lol, they just lost to the Steelers and Panthers in back to back weeks.

They're done.

The dude lost 3-34 against the Saints his first year in TB and threw a worse interception than Tebow or Palko EVER did. I stood sentry as Mahomes guided him to retirement when Hill got 269 yards in that season while we laughed at Romo saying that TB "finally figured it out" in garbage time after falling to like, 6-5 or whatever they were.

No. I will not count out what super HGH, a blood seance, and help from the refs could still do for Tom at this stage. I mean, how many threads have we made here in the last ten years dancing on Tom's NFL grave and saying he is finally done.

It is not over for this guy until it is OVER.

Still convinced that he didn’t need the preseason? ROFL You idiots that were acting like he could just coast with his “superior talent” and didn’t need training camp are looking pretty dumb now. Anyone who understands how much work goes into each game knew this was coming. If Brady thinks he’s good enough to coast to the playoffs without putting in the effort he used to put in, he’ll continue to get owned by XFL level QB’s.

Right. But he still has the easiest schedule known to mankind and are still winning their division. If he shows up for work and puts in a Peter Gibbons level effort he’s still going to the playoffs and will then show up for work in a real way.

Yeah, they look solid thus far, but only one team can win that division and that team will likely take the #1 seed. The others will be fighting for the #5 and #6 seeds.

Plus the Cowboys have played the Bucs twice in the last two years, with a healthy Dak, and have not been able to beat them. Maybe next time will be different, but I won't hold my breath.

Guy's played in 3 seasons worth of postseason games and his defenses have only given up more than 30 points 5 times.

The Tuck Rule, 28-3, coin flip in the AFCCG @ KC, Malcolm Butler's goal line INT, Jared Cook's fumble in the 2020 Divisional , defense only gives up 3 points vs the Rams in the 2018 SB, Chiefs entire OL dies before the 2020 SB, Cam Akers trying to fumble the game away in the 2021 Divisional.

He's rarely been on the losing side of lucky postseason plays. Only ones I can think of are whenever he plays against Eli and the Brandon Graham FF in the 2017 SB.

Dallas Defense is legit.. They get ****ing sacks. Offense shouldn't of let Amari go tho.

Dallas defense is really good, I agree. Their team is solid.

I'm not sure about the Giants yet. I think I've read that all of their wins are by one score. That sort of luck is likely to run out at some point.
