Buccaneers were the beneficiary of 27 PI calls this 2020 season, Kansas City received 4.
No other team had more than 19 (Miami/Pittsburgh) and 28 teams had less than 15.
Buccaneers were the beneficiary of 12 PI last year with Winston throwing for over 5000 yards...
Brady's Bucs received 15 more PI calls than the same team did last season...and set an NFL record.
Brady had 12 more PI calls than 28 other teams....16 more than 21 teams. He was essentially getting twice the PI calls of nearly every other franchise...and 7 times the amount as Mahomes.
25 teams had 11 or less...
Numbers dont lie...only the media about Brady's "greatness"
Chiefs were called for 2 PIs in one quarter of the SB...they only had their opponents flagged 4 times all year. [Reply]
The worst part is most people will still tell you it's all your head.
Anyone who thinks 27 PI penalties, especially when called at just the right time, cannot completely change an entire season for a player and team is completely kidding themselves.
Look, you can lay these numbers out till the cows come home. The Brady Ballwashers don't care. I mean seriously, you could probably go through every season he's played in and especially the SB seasons, and find that he is the "amazingly lucky benificiary" of a ton of calls, balls bouncing his way etc.
The conclusions are these:
1) He just gets favorable calls, and always has, it's a matter of chance and chance just smiles on him all the time for some reason
2) He's just the smartest and most cunning of any football player in the history of the universe, and it's not luck, he just skillfully get's people to commit fouls at the right time
The worst part is most people will still tell you it's all your head.

Just makes me so god damn sick.
This. I hate Patriot fans and Brady fans because that is their line all the time. No objectivity. You can show them video and they just laugh and call you a sore loser. [Reply]
