I couldn’t remember why I stopped watching the NFL.  Those two flags reminded me why. I’m going to read

Football is the ultimate team game.  Moreso than any sport imo.  Brady getting all the credit for team accomplishments does make me hate him, yes.  He's had amazing coaching, defenses full of All Pros, special teams that most teams are jealous of, great free agency transactions, drafts, etc.

But Brady gets all the credit.  

True—even without Brady the Patriots were great this ye... wait wuh?!?

Really?  Let's just go back to their last game.  Brady had 3 interceptions.  He wasn't the reason they won the game, he's the reason they damn near lost it.  The Bucs defense was destructive that day.

But who gets all the praise for the last two weeks?  Tom Brady.  What?!  It's happened for years.

He also threw three first half touchdowns to give them the 21-10 lead in the first place, including a dime with like 5 seconds left in the half. The best player on the team is going to get the credit when they win. It’s like that in every sport. I don’t think Brady’s teammates mind.

Has Brady ever not had a top 10 defense?

Hilarious. Only Brady gets these kinds of breaks in a Super Bowl. 

[Stuhoo 75,778]

According to David, when the Buccaneers were celebrating their NFC Championship win over the Green Bay Packers a couple of weeks ago, some players became emotional, and Brady brought them back down to earth real quick. 

"When I realized that it was real -- when I realized that it was like, all the other stuff don't really matter unless it was the Super Bowl was after we won the NFC Championship," said David. "You know me, I'm all happy and s--- it was my first one, I'm geeked up. But then, I guess someone was crying, and I heard (Brady) just like, 'What the f--- you crying for, we not done yet!' 

"He was right. I had two little tears too so I wiped my s---."

Let's be honest.  The greatest of all time is Jim Thorpe.  Dude played offense, defense, kicked, and punted.  These qbs have to rely on a defense for half the game

Man this one sided officiating...are these Kohl Center refs?

[Brass Cannon 24,068]

Well I caved and turned it back on. And what do I see. An iffy call benefitting Brady.  You seriously can’t make this up. It’s about as legit as wrestling 

[Stuhoo 75,778]

This is just like an IU b-ball game thread!

Certain posters are “put-upon.”

Speaking of wrestling, that’s what the corner did to Evans on the pass. I have no idea how that was an iffy call.

You thought Brady went to Tampa by himself? Gronk was just a loud piece of camouflage.

Slightly grazing a hip on an uncatchable ball is hardly a wrestling move. 

[Stuhoo 75,778]

Jim Thorpe woulda made that last td throw.

And in a leather helmet dammit.

[Brass Cannon 24,068]

Now they are penalizing KC for being upset about getting hosed 

[Josh 12,380]

Wait...Brady ran up to Mathieu and yelled at him...penalty on Mathieu?

Jeez this is bad

[Hovadipo 52,982]

Hey I’ll put a hand up...some not great calls on that possession. 
 

Willing to bet the Chiefs have something for the Bucs after The Weeknd serenades us, though.
