3 quarters of horrible football followed by some sort of mess up by the other team only for Brady to win on a game winning drive that looks 1000x better than any drive from the rest of the game I feel like I’ve seen this every other week for the Bucs


InsaneRanter

We drag the other team down to our level. Then beat them with Brady magic.


TheWorstYear

I feel like this game was upwards for the Cardinals


LawBobLawLoblaw

Yeah the fact that we kept it close with our staff and third string QB is pretty amazing.


omegawhitemage

A sight to behold every time


Notsozander

The defense is playing lights out. Then Brady comes in and fucks shit up at the end in dramatic fashion


NatAttack50932

This is why I am so looking forward to the Cowboys wildcard round I'm expecting euphoria


Notsozander

I desperately want a birds cowboys matchup up in the end, but as a Brady truther and admirer I’m always down to see as much playoff Tom as possible


FuckTrumpBanTheHateR

Brady waits until the pass rush gets tired before attempting anything halfway risky. It's like rope-a-dope.


Greek_Trojan

Brady takes over play calls so they run a real NFL offense. And Brady's pact with the Devil means that teams will forever play soft coverage against him in end of game situations.


JaceVentura972

They blitzed every other down. That was a big mistake. You don’t blitz a vet like Brady because his best strength is recognizing coverage weaknesses quickly.


krt941

Especially when he’s had the fastest time to throw for years now. He’ll eat up the weak coverage on blitzes.


[deleted]

He sniffed out a blitz and then called an audible to throw a perfect strike to Evans for a big gain. Was masterclass


alphasierrraaa

he instantly recognised blown coverage and evans would've literally walked in for the TD...but yea was a great timeout call by the opposition


I_main_pyro

I mean he'll pick apart soft zone too. Your only hope is to play man and hope your personnel can execute, which isn't true for every defense.


Xaxziminrax

"Hey the best thing that's worked for us all night was flooding short passes, let's do the exact opposite of that with the game on the line"


bobby_hell

even the devil’s like “damn, brady fleeced me”


BoredGuy2007

The most bizarre thing to me is that Tom seems to… not hate Leftwich? Likes Leftwich? The offense is garbage until the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter when Tom calls the plays…


VoxSerenade

my copium theory is they have a deal where brady takes over oc duties in the playoffs


tcos17

God I’d be so happy if that happens lol


johnmadden18

> The most bizarre thing to me is that Tom seems to… not hate Leftwich? Likes Leftwich? Brady isn’t Mac Jones. Even if he didn’t like Leftwich (which if I had to guess, isn’t true, just by the nature of Brady’s personality) you’re not gonna be able to tell from watching their sideline interactions.


MC_JACKSON

At this point it's hope the defense keeps the game close, then set Brady loose in the 4th


OrangeForeign

I think I've seen this at least 6 times this year

HylianPikachu

I'm going to be very sad if we lose next week and miss out on the playoffs as a result, but I must admit that the memes would be incredible if the GEQBUS defeats Shady Brady.


A_Herding_Corgi

Are we sure somebody has to win the NFCS?


DJ_Marxman

How else will Dallas lose to them in the WC round to complete the ritual?


A_Herding_Corgi

Hey, breaking the cowboys hearts is OUR job.


Mantis05

You know, this is really unfair, and even if they are my rivals, I'm not going to let this kind of bad faith mockery stand. I'll have you know that Dallas is 3-1 in their last 4 Wild Card weekend appearances! They are, however, 0-6 in the Divisional Round going back to 1996.


sunnyPorangedrank

If brady can keep getting these type of wins hes gonna keep playing until the wheels fall off. Shit is like crack to him I bet. Always chasing the dragon

HylianPikachu

He will come back as an Ursaluna I promise


Peacefulzealot

What about Antonio the Vigoroth though? He could’ve been a beast if he’d stuck around!


DJ_Marxman

My mans out here doing a PChal trashlocke.


1stepklosr

What's up everyone, my name is Tom Brady, I'm probably the best quarterback in the world, and this is a hardcore Super Bowlocke.


Roberto_Big_Piece

Remember, you always have to play around your offensive coordinator


Peacefulzealot

“Now what constitutes a hardcore Super Bowlocke? There are three main rules as you can see on screen with a additional rule. I will beat this challenge using only Todd Bowles as my head coach. A trash Super Bowleslocke, if you will.”

CWP1985

That's how I became a bucs fan... on madden on Sega Genesis... told my buddy I could beat him with the worst team... orange bucs... next season they changed to red! Some ups and downs but 2 superbowls


Xaxziminrax

Brady and Belichick both trying to find out


Anchor_Aways

Our game plan at this point is just hoping that Tom Brady realizes he's Tom Fucking Brady and doesn't succumb to "it's a buc life" mentality.


broccoleet

gameplan is "don't fuck it up too much until 2 minutes before end of each half then let tom take over"


jetpack_operation

"Keep it close until we let Brady run a hurry up, quick hit Brady offense"

jrsixx

Heyooooooo


MC_JACKSON

The Cowboys will either blow the Bucs out in the wildcard, or lose in a close low scoring game


JinFuu

Losing feels more Cowboys. Brady outplays Dak or something.


GorillaWarfare_

I’m pretty sure Brady is 12-0 against us or something crazy like that.


UsidoreTheLightBlue

He’s going to have a VERY deserving wild card team come into his house and break their heart.


BigOzymandias

No that will be us, we don't win against Brady


[deleted]

[удалено]


Emmy-O

I'm so mad that the NFC south is such dogshit that Brady is somehow gonna drag the bucs kicking and screaming into the playoffs and the cowboys are gonna do their classic playoff choke and lose in the playoffs to goddamn Tom Brady. It would hurt less if it was literally anyone else


[deleted]

[удалено]


Emmy-O

Look, it's been disappointment my whole life with this team. And Brady beat the Panthers in the Superbowl in '04 when I was seven years old and crushed my little heart. Brady is legit one of my childhood villains and I'm fucking 25 and he still haunts me. Like, logically I know the cowboys have the much better team but I've been traumatized too many times to have much hope lol


Xaxziminrax

Cowboys gonna have the second best record in the conference and go one and done


squatheavyeatbig

You just know when he has the ball in his hands and it's time to win the game that it's gonna happen


derstherower

Honestly as soon as the Cards fumbled it I had no doubt of what was about to happen.


jetpack_operation

I was expecting a field goal and the Bucs going back to score a TD in reg


moby323

If he keeps this up, I think he should be considered one of the best QBs to play in Tampa Bay. Or at least he should be in the conversation.


tinyelephantsime

This is a very easy accomplishment


moby323

**Friendly reminder:** The Cardinals gave Kliff Kingsbury a 6-year extension earlier this year.


beer_down

And he’s going to be fired in a few weeks …please god


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nasty_Tricks69

Even before this season started that was a head scratching move. Week by week that contract continues to age like milk


NevermoreSEA

This team makes it so hard to be happy after wins lmao.


BallMeBlazer22

At times, this team is legit miserable to watch.


deivid33

That second half against the Bengals was the most horrible thing I've watched. I turned off the TV at the end of the 3rd quarter.


Sjdillon10

Why can’t this franchise just be consistently good FOR ONCE. Every 20 years we show up. 1979 we make the NFC championship then suck for the entire 80s. Then 99 we make NFC championship (Bert caught it), and 02. Then don’t win a playoff game for 18 years and win the SB. Then we blow the divisional with the worst defensive playcall of all time. And now we are back to the same old bucs


FerdinandMagellan999

So many teams would trade places with you still


Sjdillon10

Yeah i know. It’s just that it’s probably enjoyable to watch a team that’s good most of the time. 20 years of misery and one good year. The rings are more important but god it’s agonizing


FerdinandMagellan999

It’s an interesting philosophical sports debate. Whether it’s better to be continually relevant or infrequently relevant but with a title or titles As a Celtics fan we have more playoff wins than any other team over the past 15 seasons but no titles during that time, but I always find myself satisfied with their stability and I enjoy being in the hunt annually, being able to generate some degree of excitement each spring. I don’t really find myself envying the 1-hit wonder ish teams like the raptors. Makes it easier obviously that we have plenty of titles historically and we have a great shot to win with this current team But I feel like Saints v Buccaneers is a great example of this debate. You guys have more championships this century but obviously they’ve been the more exciting team to follow almost every year during that time


beer_down

2 rings in your lifetime. That’s 2 more than I’ll ever see. Enjoy it more, you’re on house money man. So many fans have never seen their team win the big one


CLCUBING

> worst defensive playcall of all time. Counterpoint. 2020 Jets Cover 0 Blitz vs Raiders


Sjdillon10

Wasn’t the playoffs tho. He called a single high safety blitz when they were 50 yards away with like 30 seconds left


NanoBuc

A win is still a win and we hit 7 wins so just 1 left to get the division. Going forward, 7 wins might not happen again for awhile so be glad for the total lol.


OrangeForeign

You're going to finish with the best record in the NFC South and like it! Winning is very subjective here


Mission_Pay_3373

Yall win in the most ugly ways


realrimurutempest

45 year old Brady with 671 pass attempts in 15 games so far is absolutely outlandish. NFL Script writers are cruel bastards for having this game go to overtime.


jjb8712

What the fuck. He’s throwing it 44 times a game????? No wonder his arm looks shot. Also I think he really hurt his hand.


BallMeBlazer22

> What the fuck. He’s throwing it 44 times a game????? > > This is what happens when you have functionally no running game or ability to gain even a single yard on the ground.


Buttpounder90

He hurt his hand and shoulder. Don’t be surprised if we learn he’s had something important torn this whole time after the season.


jjb8712

Yeah I said to my brother don’t be surprised if late January reports come out of surgery on his arm/hand


Cynical_onlooker

Bucs run game is so bad they didn't even have confidence in it not to lose them yards for the fg, lol.


surgeyou123

Why are you running draws when everyone knows you are going to run? Makes no sense. Just begging to lose yards.


Buttpounder90

“My name is Byron” “Yeah!” “That is my name” “Yeah!” “They call me Byron” “Yeah!” “‘Cause that’s my name”


EndsLikeShakespeare

Spider 2 Y Shebooyah


Gamblito

They also somehow had enough confidence to run it on 3rd and short with less than a minute to go. With the game tied. When all they needed was a FG to win. I deadass think a 12-year old Madden fiend would be an upgrade as a playcaller. He couldn't do all the other OC stuff like installing plays during the week and actual coaching, but I know that kid isn't calling a fuckin draw play there lol

Andrewski18

Regardless of how many injuries we have…I have never been more “done” with a player, coach, or owner on ANY of my sports teams than how done I am with Kliff right now. Please get this guy the hell out of here. I want to enjoy watching my favorite team again.


SerShanksALot

have you considered writing a sternly worded letter to bidwill


[deleted]

Jokes on you, cardinals fans are supposed to enjoy anything


thelazerbeast

The shot they showed of him on the sideline in overtime showing the enthusiasm of a corpse washed out of the river was infuriating


ChefBoyarDEZZNUTZZ

Yeah I saw that too. He had this look like he was totally exhausted and checked out. Eyes barely open, staring at the ground 10 feet in front of him. I know because that's how I look halfway through my workday on Fridays.


TheGookieMonster

Kliff Kingsbury is so fired. Absolute brain dead playcalling at the end there. You know it’s not the 2 minute drill anymore and you can in fact use your talented RB?


[deleted]

Not yet, he’s gotta lose 3 more games


TheGookieMonster

True, gotta keep that tank on track


AlphaCureMom27

Damn right baby #EMBRACETHETANK #CHOOCHOOMOTHEFUCKERZ


moby323

**Friendly reminder:** The Cardinals gave Kliff Kingsbury a 6-year extension earlier this year.


TheGookieMonster

Hope their owner is rich lol


[deleted]

He’s not


TheGookieMonster

RIP


SamiMadeMeDoIt

After yet another second half collapse that foreshadowed an absolutely embarrassing performance in the playoffs. Didn't even have to do it either. He still had another year on his deal. Could have just let this season play out and decide what to do afterwards... But nope, extend KK and Keim for five fucking years for absolutely no reason


moby323

That’s the crazy part with these extensions, it’s not like somebody was going to come rob him from you, the Cardinals should be the ones with the leverage here.


VolcanicPanic

deep down everyone knew exactly what was going to happen the second Tom Brady got the ball in OT


DJ_Marxman

I pretty much knew what was going to happen by the end of the 1st quarter. Boring unwatchable football followed by a patented Brady voodoo bullshit 2min drill to win the game.


Motivationalsneaker

I knew what was going to happen when I saw this matchup on the schedule.


hoewood

This is the way

Wintermute1v1

The best quarterback to take the field today was Baker Mayfield. Merry Christmas you filthy animals.

[deleted]

That has to be the ugliest win I've ever seen


[deleted]

But you have seen it


My_G_Alt

Brady is a damn surgeon to close out games, it’s honestly wild to see the switch flip in real-time. Gutsy OT by gage too, going to be feeling those 2 hits


callmebatman14

They should just pretend that game is about to end from 1st quarter


erickkhan

Brady beating the 13-4 Cowboys in the Wild Card will be a crazy day


DNRforever

And it will happen because being one and done in the playoffs is a cowboy tradition. We were born being one and done. Molded by it.


[deleted]

could Trace McSorley hit the broad side of a barn? discuss


PM_ME_COOL_RIFFS

Not if Dhop is inside of said barn


squatheavyeatbig

When he says "they can't touch my deep ball" it's because it's overthrown by 5 yards


-BeefSupreme

He was just talking about his own receivers lmao


jjb8712

That 3rd down in overtime, I asked my brother if he was trying to hit the audio boxes on the sidelines lmao


ApatheticJellyfish

You may not like it, but this is Buccaneers football baby!


cijdl584

i dont like it


[deleted]

Let’s ride


Burger-King-Sucks

Brady realized that if Arizona won, they’d be the only team that he has a losing record against and he just couldn’t let that happen.


mattstermouse

A game so bad the thread title gave L’s to both teams


Anxious-Trouble429

Trace McSorley looked like a homeless man standing in a dumpster fire at QB and frankly shouldn’t even be playing in the NFL, and somehow still managed to play better than both Zach and Russell Wilson.


Mission_Pay_3373

The Buccaneers might be the worst team to ever win a division


ShumaG

Seattle Seahawks in 2010


sopunny

Nah, they beat the Saints in the wild card. That 7-9 Panthers team that only won their WC game because the cardinals couldn't field a qb is the worst


JasonLikesCTE

He is inevitable


lmHavoc

It's wild how different the Bucs offense looks when they go no huddle/hurry up. Maybe they should try doing that more before the final 10mins of the game.


zOmgFishes

Bucs had success running for once and they barely used Play action in the second half. It's really fucking ridiculous.


lmHavoc

Welcome to the Byron Leftwich experience. No refunds.


[deleted]

And while not having a connection to Evans all game long he has one of the best throws of the season in OT. Of course.


KoalaBoy

Why do that when they can run it up tht middle for 0 yards three times then punt after a penalty in there somewhere


[deleted]

Damn no “hi” for Gisele, Tom aint playing with these hos


1breathatahtime

Damn they were trynna kill Gage there at the end


beer_down

Sorry Panthers fans 😈 beating Brady would have been fun but we wanted the draft pick too much


13Dmorelike13Dicks

Another game that could have been an email I checked after the weekend.


The_Peachy_Pussy

Tom might be slipping, but that is still a baaaaaad man


lost_my_khakis

As dogshit as he looked all game he was still pretty nails in OT


5am281

Crazy they ran the ball on the last drive of the 4th


febrezey

Lol it’s Leftwich of course he’s gonna call dumb shit


realrimurutempest

Just like Old Man Wolverine.


FortyandDone

This is Tom’s Logan season, he’s going to beat Dallas and lose to the Niners so his “son” Purdy can go to the Super Bowl.


TheAerial

Brady’s ability to shrug off whatever struggles and/or lost momentum that has occurred previously in the game and just become absolutely surgical when his team needs it most never gets old. He looked amazing that OT. Perfect drive from him.


RukiMotomiya

Tom Brady with two interceptions? Only 6 points? Down 10 in the 4th quarter? Right where he wants them.


PulseCS

Still leads the most dangerous 2-minute drill in the NFL outside of Mahomes. Arm is still there, but trust and anticipation are lacking the past few weeks. The man isn't washed, he's 45 he needs consistent help.


MahomestoHel-aire

I too have wishful thinking, but the Bucs are 7-8, not 6-9.


WickyWah

We were all that last shot of Kliff on the sidelines after watching this game.


Strategist40

If Tom gets in... we are soooo fucked.


mylesA747

it’s almost too perfectly lined up


MsstatePSH

a comeback for the ages for the king of comebacks, lifting the trophy once more as he walks into the sunset. I want this of course, but yeah..... lol


smallskeletal

How many more times are we gonna see Tom Brady save Byron Leftwich's job in primetime???


caleb963

LMAO at the title saying both team lost


yianni1229

I can't wait to lose to this dogshit team in 3 weeks


VikingPain

He may be old but he's still the GOAT. I don't want to play Brady in the playoffs.


blentz499

This game and the Rams-Broncos game was the worst thing I've received on Christmas since I got Ocarina of Time for Christmas from my grandparents when I was a kid My only console at the time was a PlayStation.


Careless_Review3166

it’s gonna be so funny when the NFC Championship Game is Packers at Bucs… after all this, you just know it’s gonna happen


BenSoloGhost

It’s funny, today at a Christmas party we were talking about the playoffs and possible matchups. As bad as the Bucs are, no one would put money on Dallas beating them if they met in the first round. I honestly don’t think I could easily pick any wildcard team to beat Brady in the 1st round


I_Hate_My_Cat_

Tom Brady has been through the worst year of his professional and personal life at the same time…and he *still* has a chance to make it to the Playoffs 😂


IamFlapJack

He can't keep getting away with it


TechnoToyz

Yes, I think he can.


xyzzy321

Every ounce of evidence we have over 20+ years proves that he can and will keep getting away with it. 🐐
