That last pick was so unlike Brady. That was really just an "eff it" throw.
We really only saw throws like that in games where he was getting pummeled into the ground he was just tired of it, mostly Giants; Ravens, Broncos, etc. For him to do that with the game on the line with plenty of time remaining and only needing a FG for OT was just...weird.

I feel like KC game could be inflection point for Tampa. Another ugly performance that rolls into their Week 13 bye and you could have some trouble in paradise.

9 picks thru 11 games for Brady. 14 is his career high. Could get interesting.

He’s now at 25 TD : 9 INT vs 24 : 8 last year. So.

And it seems like most of the INTs are the "what was he thinking" variety and not some kind of WR screw up or bad tipped pass luck. If I'm playing the Bucs, I'm 100% sending constant pressure on Brady all game. He can be had now.

Especially because the Bucs OL isn't that good (we knew going into the year that it was maybe their biggest weakness), and because Arians insists on sending Brady back on 5-7 step drops instead of letting him just get rid of the ball in less than 2 seconds.

Yup. And with AB you have even more reason to use the short passing game. It was quite effective last night. Brady should be peppering AB/Godwin while taking the occasional big play shot with Evans/Gronk. The RB passing game wasn’t there last night either although part of that was on Fournette.

Fournette had three drops, but on two of those, if he had caught it, he'd have been stopped right in his tracks for about a 1-2 yard gain at most. Those plays were going nowhere anyway.

Evans, Goodwin & AB may be better WRs than Edelman & the Remainders, but the Bucs' RBs are not White & Burkhead in the passing game, either.

Yup. Brady should have pushed for a White trade. Fournette is trash. Glad we didn’t sign him. Harris is much better.

Jones obviously has pure running talent but it seems like he's good for at least a couple of dumb plays per game. Last night he went to the wrong side on a play action fake and messed the whole play up. He was immediately subbed out and didn't play much the rest of the game.

Fournette caught 74 balls last year. Is he as good as James White? No. He's a capable receiver, but he doesn't have any elusiveness once he catches the ball. At least one of his drops last night was a terrible ball from TB. I'm willing to bet it was Brady who wanted to bring him on board.
