For the most part, everything that went wrong at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has nothing to do with Tom Brady. This does not make viewing easier.
When Tom Brady suddenly announced his retirement on February 1, it felt like football fans had been robbed.
Robbed of a glimpse on the bosom of victory. He was robbed of knowing what his final landing might be.
Take away the chance to say goodbye.
Forty days later, NFL fans got the chance to watch Brady for what many expect to be his final season in the NFL. At the age of forty-five, Brady was doing what no one else could have dreamed of.
It’s still high performance (sorry, the above and Mayor Lucas). Still throwing rainbows, hitting the breadbasket in the corner of the end zone to Prishad Berryman. He still gets it, but the tragic thing is that the Bucs don’t have it. At least not yet.
What Bucs suffer is relentless injuries that damage them week after week. Unnecessary penalties as players of the second and third series decide their Chemistry. Expensive transformations, like the one that was gift-wrapped to land the Chiefs in the first 46 seconds of their game in Week 4. And just because Mike Evans, Julio Jones and Chris Goodwin are back doesn’t mean it’s time for that Give up running game.
In his third season with the team, the problems that plagued Tampa Bay in 2020 are back to haunt the Brady Buccaneers. And it’s frustrating to see, because in theory, this team has the tools to win it all in 2022.
Tom Brady and the Buccaneers deserve better than 2022
For anyone who truly believes that the best team should win, it’s frustrating to see a unit with great potential go 2-2 instead of 4-0.
Losing three of their wide receivers was an obvious sore point in their Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers, but so was the training camp injury to starting center Ryan Jensen. A penalty delay cost the Bucs to take it into overtime, and while many blame Brady for taking the count down, it’s not uncommon for quarterbacks to do so. What was unusual is long pause Taken by Robert Heinse to catch the ball.
“There is a lot to that. Bad execution on attack at a time when we needed a good one,” Brady said after the match. “Penalties, turnovers, missed chances…” Brady continued, hammering out a list of the errors that occurred.
That moment sums up what hackers are doing right now. This doesn’t knock every player working so hard to give it their all each week, but it does seem to be a revolving door among novice players making it difficult for the team to implement. To put it casual, the Bucs just fell Cole Beasley off his couch because they’re exhausted at the receiver. And it’s not even that this is a new story for the team, because they booked Seven points for wide receivers In their list of 53 men because this happened in 2021.
Aside from the staff, there is the fact that late modifications to Bucs cost them games. In Week 3, the Bucs shut down the Packers completely in the second half. Zero points. Bock’s offense who scored only a field goal in the first half scored nine goals per second. As impressive as the halftime break was, it was too little, too late.
In Week 4, the Bucs head to the locker room facing the 28-17 teams. The Chiefs scored a total of 13 points in the next two quarters, while the Bucs scored 14 points. It’s a more even game, but it’s not enough to end with a win.
The Bucs are not a bad team, but a shaky one that still needs to find a foothold. Part of that is being able to count on talented beginners, especially in attack. The Bucs just brought back Donovan Smith to complete Chuck Mason and Tristan Wirves, and Brady passed for 385 yards as a result. Fortunately, the Bucs’ defense is fairly healthy, and they’ve proven their dominance with the right game plan.
It takes time to figure it all out, which the Bucs demonstrated in 2020 when the Wild Card team defied expectations and went on to win the Super Bowl. If anyone can do it again, they are, led by the quarterback who has defied the odds more than anyone in NFL history.
But they have to be at their best, and soon, because this isn’t just Tom Brady’s winning run. This might be the last chance the Bucs see this kind of success for a while, so it’s time to make it count.
