he's
been a Trailblazer at the position for a long time. I'm
thankful to be in the conversation, with
some all-time greats in this generation
are like, I'm in that conversation, and it's been
been a lot of fun compete against time over the years,
and it's always nice coming out on top, because it hasn't
happened at many times.
Aaron Rodgers, one goat takes down another goat 11:46.
I would have expected that to be the score at the end of one
quarter. But both of these offenses anemic especially
the Buccaneers, I mean you got cold Beasley signed last week,
prepared aggressively.
It's why Tom Brady worked last ones, that's what's so funny.
Sunday Splash Report Week to Tom Brady's, going to take
everyone's day off for the rest of the year. The first
Wednesday, after that report, he's working. Why to get cold
Beasley
To go. Because Mike Evans was suspended, Chris Godwin, injured
Julio Jones injured.
You're down two guys that are just walking through the door
literally.
But I still,
you know, we've seen Tom, Brady, kind of will his team
to Victory but it is so weird to see three points as
the Buccaneers total score in the second half of football games,
but that's where we are this year.
They averaged 30 points per game last year, miles all
season long, This year through three weeks, they are averaging
17 points per game.
Now, they haven't scored more than 20 points in a game yet,
and that's not something we expect to see from a Tom, Brady
lead offense. But when you have the changes that they've had on
the offensive line, the injuries that they've had on
the offensive line,
we were just going through the injuries that they've had at
receiver. That's part of why we start to see these results that
they're getting. And it just everything seems disjointed
right now for
I almost said Patriots offense for the Buccaneers off at how
am I still doing that? We're three years into this with Tom,
Brady in that uniform and in that particular team. But when
you still see Tom Brady and things aren't going right with
the offense. You're like, man what in the world is going
on here but I think it's a combination of everything that is
new for them right now. Along with just they're playing some
good defense has to that. That Packers defense is pretty good.
So that's part of it.
And maybe when they're not playing units that are not so
great. Then we'll see something different but it it's just one
of those things right now where nothing seems to be just smooth
and fluid for that Buccaneers offense.
Hey I had a moment last year miles where the Patriots were
getting ready to play somebody that the Buccaneers had already
played and it just wasn't a quick like flash through
the synapses.
I was adamant that the Patriots had already played that team
like what?
What am I seeing here? The Patriots have already played
this team. They've already played them Tom, Brady already.
Oh, oh, wait, never mind.
Yeah,
I don't think that's ever going to go away as long as Tom
Brady's with the Buccaneers and who knows how much longer it's
going to be yesterday's game. Did not work out. It came down
to
a two-point conversion
that would have could have maybe should have forced overtime.
The clock ran all the way down to zero delay. A game
on a two-point. Version are you kidding? Me is Nathaniel
Hackett coaching the Buccaneers now, what's going on here? So
it's a very different play from the seven verses the to
and It ultimately did not work out for the Tampa Bay.
Buccaneers basically 4th and goal from the seven to force
overtime and there it goes and there go the Box. Here's Tom.
Brady
talking about the delay of game penalty that pushed back that
try and also the overall poor performance of his team's
offense.
Yeah, I just looked up and we had a
just about execution.
It's really what it is.
The more did you try to check the run at that point?
Yeah it's just there's a lot to it. So bad execution on offense
at a time where we need a good execution and we didn't get it.
And there's a lot of the times. We are a lot of other bad
execution, and
I think the reality is, when you do that, you don't
have the opportunity to score points. So,
it was a too many places where we are on the sticks and not
good on third down, and
Penalties turnovers missed opportunities, and
defense play great.
We got to play better on offense. We had to do a lot
better job. We haven't scored many points all season. So,
three games, we got to get a lot better.
I do have to make a very important football observation
here. Can we bring up a still frame of Tom Brady from Justin?
I have some advice for anyone out there just basic human,
self awareness,
especially when we consider the irony of his t-shirt that says
Forever. Young gentleman. I generally discourage
dying your hair.
Because everybody knows you think they don't,
they know, they can tell. Now I benefit from favorable lighting
conditions, especially in this studio
because I got a hell of a lot of gray,
and I ain't doing anything to try to hide it, I accept it.
But if you are, if you are going to
choose to exercise your constitutional prerogative to
put shoe polish in your hair, I would just advise this miles
Simmons.
Pick a shade lighter than or equal to the natural color of
your hair, don't dye your hair
darker than its normal color. That's my only advice for
today.
Take it. If you are so inclined.
Tom Brady or anyone else?
Yeah, well hopefully, I won't need that advice for a while.
I don't know. I don't not that. I have that much hair on my head
but I don't want it. But look at his
head. His hair was never that color.
Don't you don't die it darker than it was.
Diet the same color
or lighter, but even then I maybe his attitude is screw it.
Everybody's going to know. Anyway,
everybody's gonna know
what the hell. I'll look like Johnny Cash, who cares?
Well, if you don't like something about it change it
you know you don't feel like you're the way your hair looks,
you just change it. It's fine. I know
the funny thing here, my clothes, my face Bruce
Springsteen.
I just
I'm sorry to detour into something that's so irrelevant,
but I mean,
come on, man.
I'm seriously, gonna come on, come on. Tom is, how is there?
No one around Tom and maybe that's what this all comes down
to
everyone. Tiptoes on eggshells around Tom. No one is willing
to say, hey Tom, that looks a little ridiculous. I'll say it.
Hey Tom that looks more than a little ridiculous. That just
looks more than a little ridiculous. I'm sorry, but it's
true.
Are you done? Can I can, I don't know what I was. I feel better.
Yeah,
glad so glad you do Arc. I'm acting like a New Yorker. You
got to tell it like it is, if you want to be in New York
baby.
Okay. I don't know. Chris Jones says something to Tom Brady
when they play next week about his hair
but he'll probably get flagged if he does. Yeah
well yeah, that's gonna be the thing that ruins the next
chance to
Chris Jones saying Tom Brady, you look old
Yd. How dare you say that to the goat of all goats Tom?
Brady. Yeah. Well, the funny thing about that clip though is
he was gonna say something honest. But speaking of, you
know, Patriots quarterback, Tom, Brady,
he just revert. It was like Bill, Belichick flashed in
front of his eyes and then all of a sudden he just went to bed
execution. That's all it was. It was just bad execution.
Like, okay,
you were going to tell us what happened there, but then you're
just now going to call it bad execution, there's more R to it
than that,
you can be a little less robotic, Tom Brady in a press
conference. If you want to be, what do you got to lose man?
You're 45 years old. Let's go tell it. Tell us we all want to
know
bad execution, that's when he goes to
the good news. Is he didn't execute any tablets yesterday
that we know of he ended up breaking to the week before and
I didn't get around to write this yesterday. But apparently,
Jay Glazer said, on the fox pregame show that the NFL has
advised teams to
be a little more careful with the league issued equipment.
Those things aren't free.
And and I don't know that it's the kind of product placement,
Microsoft bargained for when they did that surface
sponsorship deal.
But hey, we were talking about
the Microsoft tablet. A hell of a lot more last week than ever
before
in a week. When Apple,
Microsoft stop, competitor has begun the process of
encroaching on the NFL Turf. So Microsoft should be happy about
the developments and should encourage the
Abuse and destruction
of their signature product. All right,
Aaron Rodgers, by the way,
now, two and three all-time against Tom. Brady,
including playoffs,
not a great day for him, but good enough finding his Groove,
offensively, Romeo Dobbs, rookie receiver, eight catches
73 yards in a touchdown. So there's trust there. There was
already trust with Allen Lazard 4:45
and a touchdown.
It wasn't great.
It's a work in progress,
but if you're the Packers
And you go into that game one and one fully expecting to lose
the Buccaneers. You have to say we'll take it. However we get
it will take it and moved it, two and one.
Alright, fully expecting to lose to the Buccaneers. I don't
know that they should be first up. Well, I think I mean I got,
I fully expected them to, but what the hell do I know?
Well, okay, yeah, I know, but they really, they should have
scored touchdowns on their first three drives and if not
for v2, Vella dropping back in coverage and then running up
and blowing up
Aaron Jones at the goal line
that they Would have. So there are some encouraging elements
I think to that performance from the Green Bay standpoint but
when you don't score more than 14 points and you've got Aaron
Rodgers at QB,
I know they're going up against a really good defense with Todd
Bowles there and whatever he does with Tampa Bay. But you're
like,
you want a little bit more out of that. You get the W though
and that's what's important.
