NFL 2020 Season

[Moranis]

Man, people are so fickle when it comes to player evaluation. One week they can be an MVP candidate, the next they are washed up. Brady had a terrible game, no doubt, but it was just one game. People are so ready to jump down players' throats. Are Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Russell Wilson washed up too? Because they've all had at least one nightmare game this season. Of course, idiots who still use "muh cliff theory" unironically will jump at anytime when Brady plays poorly, but I don't think it's fair.

Brady has been deteriorating for years.  And the 2nd half of last season he was pretty bad. Even in the playoffs he hasn't been an uber elite QB since the 2018 playoff run (culminating in the loss to the Eagles - though Brady was very good in the game).  I mean the Superbowl win over the Rams he didn't throw a TD, had an INT and fumbled.  The Rams were just more inept.  The great games from Brady are more the aberration than the bad ones at this point in his career.  Which is all to be expected.  He is old with a ton of miles on that arm.  The more he uses it the more it wears down. 

The Bucs will make the playoffs, but they aren't going to be in the Superbowl. Collectively their coach, QB, and team just aren't good enough.

This is awful news.

MRI revealed more damage than anticipated: Bengals’ QB Joe Burrow tore his ACL, MCL, and suffered other structural issues in his knee as well, per
@Ben_Baby
 and me.

Yuck. Terrible.

Brady has thrown for 23 TDs and 7 INTs. If he throws for 300 yds tonight he will be leading the league in passing yards. He is one of the toughest guys to sack in the league. His advanced QB ratings have him just outside the top ten and could go higher depending on how he plays tonight.

The idea that Brady isn't playing well enough to win a SB this year is kinda ludicrous given how he has been playing.

Hate seeing great QB talent cut down by bad o-lines. Awful.

[PhoSita]

Yikes, that sounds like a radical knee repair needed for Burrow.  Gonna be a long road back.

[SparzWizard]

Forget about the awful New England Patriots, what is wrong down in Tampa tonight.

Maybe Brady is cooked. Bruce Arians should be fired. That defense looks atrocious.

[RPGenerate]

Brady's pass got battered by a DT, he caught it, and then threw it to a receiver that ended up catching it? Has anyone ever see that happen? 

[SparzWizard]

Rams finally beat Tom Brady. Wowww

The way the Bucs have been playing this year...for sure lose next week at home against Patrick Mahomes lol.

Brady has been absolutely under fire in the media from Arians...something that Bill never did to him, slag him off in public for being bad. Criticizing him for missing receivers, missing routes, overthrowing, not picking up coverages...I guess there's some power struggle going on, Arians wasn't happy that Tom got his way on a number of things, like bringing back Gronk and AB, and then the results have been mediocre. So he's letting him know about it. Something's gotta give. Either it will galvanize him and the team to prove Arians wrong, or his ego will get in the way and the team will self destruct.

Im a Bengal fan since 1980..us fans knew it was going to happen with this bad o-line..and Burrow looks like the real deal..if I’m the Bengals, I would tell Burrow don’t even think bout playing 21-22 season..just sign a vet like Fitzpatrick for next season

Broncos are playing today without a QB as all three of the QBs on their roster were deemed ineligible to play due to exposure to Covid.

Saints will probably kill them in this game but it might be fun to watch just to see what Denver does. Unfortunately, that game won't be televised in my area

Stupid question on the Pat's game. What was the reason for the replay review when time expired at the half? Only scoring plays are reviewed, and since the ruling was the runner was short, then it can't be reviewed automatically. If the Arizona coach asked for a replay, doesn't there need to be time on the clock (timeout issue)?

Can't officials just choose to review any play after the 2 minute warning? Or is that only in the second half
