If I was Brady I would retire after this season or make next year his last season. His legacy is secure for the next 100-200 years. After that all current NFL football players will probably be mostly forgotten.
Without Antonio Brown, Chris Godwin, Perriman, Grayson which are arguably his best, 3rd best, 4th and 5th best receivers and without Wirfs, it seems weird that the Bucs are favored right now. Evans is still a legit #1 receiver but after him, the Bucs by far have the weakest receivers left in the playoffs. Gronk/Brate are good tight ends but even Gronk seems past his days of thriving when defenses focus on him.
Very good chance Brady and Tampa lose today and I don't think this would be that awful of a way for Brady to go out even if he does lousy. Better to lose today than to his childhood team the Niners and Jimmy G in the NFC championship game.
If Tampa wins today, I would think a low scoring game...something like 20-17 or even 17-13.
If I was a Chiefs fan, I would root hard against Tampa Bay today. They are a team if Wirfs and some of those backup receivers get healthy that are built to beat KC. Fast linebackers and a good pass rush.
