“Bucs head coach Bruce Arians said Tom Brady might be getting confused by coverages, resulting in interceptions.
Brady threw two picks against the Rams on Monday night, including a back breaker on Tampa's final drive. Arians has been less than subtle in his criticism of Brady this year. When asked about Brady's final interception against LA, Arians said, "Best to talk to him about it, I guess." Saying Brady is being confused by opposing defenses is quite the stat.” [Reply]
If you follow trends, the Bucs and Brady tend to bounce back pretty effectively after a loss so we'll likely get a better version of them on Sunday, [Reply]

Yeah I wish they would’ve won last night. However, we have the better QB (currently) and the better coach. If our defense shows up at all, we should win this game. [Reply]

I do like how Max Kellerman qualifies his QB comparisons.
Tom Brady has obviously done more and has more hardware because he’s been playing since 2001. He’s the most accomplished.
Is he better than Mahomes, though? No, he’s not. We have the better QB. Period. No currently qualifier necessary. [Reply]

I thought about that briefly as well. Upon further pondering, I'm glad they lost yesterday. It will give us a tougher matchup and prepare us better for big playoff games. Let the Buccaneers and Brady be desperate. I want us to face every team's best shot. Same with the Saints. I hope Brees is back to face us. We even played Carolina the one game they actually had McCaffrey.
Meanwhile, let the Steelers play against the stalwarts in the NFC East. That won't help prepare them for playoff games. Remember, they're still untested with this current roster come playoff time. [Reply]

Also the league needs Brady in the playoffs. They lost and are now needing a win. We are fighting and up hill battle in this one. The flags will be flying for Tom. [Reply]

Why do they need a 43-year-old has been when the NFL is loaded with young dynamic QBs/
If we hold our own in the trenches we win. If we are overpowered in the trenches, like with the Raiders, then we have trouble.
Tampa's Dline is good, strong ... reminds me of the Raiders Front 7. They stunt a lot. They are very strong and usually have a lot of guys at the LOS. Maybe they won't do that against Mahomes though. Fisher is probably going to struggle some against their power. Tampa is great against the run but not great against the pass, which is good for our main weapon Mahomes. [Reply]

and have one of the dirtiest players in the NFL, Suh, in their DL [Reply]
Gonna be great this week for Mahomes and the boys to play on the field they will be winning the superbowl on a few weeks early. Take in the sights, get a good feel for the playing surface, etc.
Rubbing dirt in Brady's eye is just a little bonus. [Reply]
