And you don't get slowly, marginally worse over time as an elite athlete. You tend to fall off quickly and dramatically.
January 17th, 2023 at 9:41 PM ^
To quote Hemingway about going bankrupt: “Gradually, then suddenly.”
January 16th, 2023 at 10:22 PM ^
Going back to the previous Dallas game, a 26-6 loss to Washington, the Dallas kicker has now missed 5 XP in a row.
Like Hawk Harrelson always said, "He Gone"!
January 16th, 2023 at 10:25 PM ^
Can't stand Cowboys, but feel bad for this guy. Hard to hold a job as a kicker in the NFL and looking at his career history, it seems like he's struggled to have a job consistently so this certainly won't hurt.
Then again, looks like he had a $965,000 salary this year and >$2M in career earnings entering this season so if he manages money properly he should be okay.
January 16th, 2023 at 10:28 PM ^
Can they find another kicker for next weekend and cut him or are they stuck with him for the rest of the playoffs?
January 16th, 2023 at 10:27 PM ^
I'm only still watching because it may be Brady's last game. Will he at least go out with one more touchdown?
January 16th, 2023 at 10:35 PM ^
Yes, he will. But will he get (at least) 2 more?
January 16th, 2023 at 10:35 PM ^
Affirmative!
January 16th, 2023 at 10:36 PM ^
3 straight 2 point conversions was a very tall order, but with that first one failing, it seems nearly impossible for them to come back as it remains a 3 score game. Will they even get 3 more possessions?
January 16th, 2023 at 10:36 PM ^
5 touchdowns and no extra points scored. HAHA!
January 16th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
On the bright side for Tom, his numbers look better than Marino’s last game.
January 16th, 2023 at 10:40 PM ^
But this might not be his last game.
And how do you score 62 points going 12/20 passing?
January 16th, 2023 at 11:20 PM ^
The other team turns it over seven times?
January 16th, 2023 at 11:21 PM ^
I think Miami fumbled or gave the ball away a ridiculous amount of times.
As a kid Phins and Marino fan that was a sad game.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:35 AM ^
You have national champion Chris Howard in the backfield. That’s how
January 16th, 2023 at 10:45 PM ^
TD.....do they kick the XP here?
January 16th, 2023 at 10:46 PM ^
The extra point is GOOD!!
January 16th, 2023 at 10:46 PM ^
Tampa is ass. I have rarely seen a team regress as hard as they did this year,
The Glazers need to fire that entire staff tomorrow morning. Atrocious playcalling all season.
January 16th, 2023 at 10:48 PM ^
I don't advocate for changing the division winner automatically goes to playoffs rule, but I think the Lions beat Tampa if given the chance.
January 16th, 2023 at 10:53 PM ^
Tampa is so bad its crazy. They are a shell of themselves only 2 years after winning it all, despite a ton of the same guys being there still.
Lions at the end of the season win 10/10 matchups on them easily.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:16 AM ^
Has Detroit ever won a playoff game (since that one time in ‘22)?
Next year is the Lions year! Lol
January 17th, 2023 at 12:22 AM ^
^^^^^^^
Broken record.......
January 17th, 2023 at 2:15 AM ^
You should try to be more original or I guess that's your lowbrow schtick
January 17th, 2023 at 6:46 AM ^
The rams were worse
January 16th, 2023 at 10:48 PM ^
Moody is making money just watching TV.
January 16th, 2023 at 10:48 PM ^
Who here thinks Brady will be in Vegas in 2 months?
Or Detroit - just so the entire state of Michigan can bust a nut at the GOAT being a Lion.
January 16th, 2023 at 10:52 PM ^
This game has the feel of Brady's last game in New England. Playoff loss to Tennessee. Offense looked out of sync. Defense could not get off the field when they had to. I have to believe history will repeat itself and he is elsewhere next year.
January 16th, 2023 at 10:57 PM ^
I think he is in Vegas (or maybeeeee maybeee maybeeee Detroit next season if they wanna deal Stafford)
January 17th, 2023 at 12:18 AM ^
Wait, what?! Didn’t Detroit already deal Stafford?! Lol
January 16th, 2023 at 10:58 PM ^
I find it really unlikely he's in Tampa next year. I think he almost has to play next year after all the stuff in his personal life, but Tampa has a lot of issues and I don't think they'll fix them for him.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:00 PM ^
Tampa is a losing situation for him. Retire or go elsewhere, but get out of there as fast as possible.
January 16th, 2023 at 10:58 PM ^
Lions lost at Dallas 24-6 five turnovers including two in the red zone.(10-6 early in 4th) I have to believe that now the Lions would fare much better vs the Cowboys. Don’t know if they’d win, but they would be much more worth adversary than Tampa.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:00 PM ^
Keep in mind that game was in also in Dallas and Detroit was much worse on the road, especially that part of the season. I can't fathom the Lions would've put up a worse fight, especially now, especially at home.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:20 AM ^
When is the last time the lions won a playoff game? Delusional.
January 17th, 2023 at 6:49 AM ^
You’re still using “sol” lions logic. That stuffs past it’s expiration date
January 17th, 2023 at 11:22 AM ^
LOL. Must be a young Lions' fan with tons of self-delusional abilities available. The Lions were 9-8 this year. Can't just say forget the first half of the season. These SOLs have been here before, you are just too young, or too delusional, to acknowledge it. Incredibly lucky second half of the season against weak opposition. Maybe wait until they actually win something. Remember Carolina smashed them to pieces.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:18 PM ^
It looks like Brady does not want to go back out there.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:21 PM ^
After that, you can make a hell of a case for TB to quit while he's ahead. You're 45, you've still got everything together. Get gone while the getting is good.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:22 PM ^
Who is still tuned in to MNF?
The Tampa Bay Bucs hanging on for dear life, recovering their onside kick trailing by 17, 2 minutes left ..
January 16th, 2023 at 11:25 PM ^
I'm in it until the end, just in case this is it for the GOAT.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:31 PM ^
Same.
One last Tom Brady TD.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:24 PM ^
Tom Brady matched a career high with 65 pass attempts. The NFL record is 70 for those keeping track.
EDIT: And he'll end with 66.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:30 PM ^
Penn State does put a lot of top players in the NFL.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:36 PM ^
Brady gave up his family for this? Yikes.
Should've retired on top Tom. Idk where you’ll go that’s better next year. Niners are set at QB.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:41 PM ^
Don't see him going there, but are they really?
They've got 3 guys that are roughly all about the same, but I'm not thrilled with any of them. Purdy looks good, but I wonder if he's actually that good. Jimmy G is okay, but they tried to get rid of him. Lance has basically never played.
When your team is essentially no worse off going from #1 to #2 and then from #2 to #3 that suggests none of your QBs are that great and your team is essentially built to not need a QB.
With that said, they're an outstanding team and that's who I'm rooting for to win the SB.
January 17th, 2023 at 12:22 AM ^
Dumb take. You have no idea what happened.
January 16th, 2023 at 11:57 PM ^
Was hoping some Brady magic would get them back in it but alas too difficult against this Dallas defense. A lot of teams REALLY missed out on not drafting Micah Parsons
January 17th, 2023 at 8:24 AM ^
Worse I've seen Tom play in a long time. He's got to hang it up now.
That said, he did make Tampa relevant. Before Tom, Tampa hadn't made the playoffs since 2006/2007 ish. He immediately took them TO the playoffs and won a SB. TB, after one of the longest playoff drought in the league, made the playoffs 3 straight times.
Thank you Tom but it's time to fade out.
January 17th, 2023 at 8:41 AM ^
Brady could have retired and should have retired as SB Champion. Would far rather have that memory than what we saw last night. Like a great heavyweight champion I guess he thought he had one more fight in him.
