The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7) still have a one-game lead over the Atlanta Falcons (5-8) and Carolina Panthers (5-8) in the NFC South, but if the Panthers win in their last four games, they win the division and beat Tampa and make the playoffs on a tie-break
Tom Brady has an NFL-record seven Super Bowl wins in his incredible two-decade career, but in 14 weeks of the 2022 season, he and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have suffered as many losses as the 45-year-old quarterback has rings.
The Bucks won the Super Bowl in Brady’s first season with the team in 2020, finishing the regular season 11–5, and last season’s 13–4 record took them to the divisional round of the playoffs before they lost to eventual champions Los Angeles. . Angeles Rams.
Discussing what went wrong for the team in 2022, NFL writer Miles Simmons said on Monday. Football talk (Sky Sports NFL, weekdays, 6 pm) that the team still has enough talent left over from the last two campaigns to do better.
“I don’t know what’s with Bucs?” he said. “Yes, Tom Brady is older, and there is something else going on, I think; you can point to the attacking line – they had injuries of both.
“But are we going to act like the Buccaneers are not talented? Will we act like the core of this team is different this year? I do not think so”.

PFT host Mike Florio added: “You’re preaching to the choir. I keep thinking that at some point they will wake up, that there will come a moment when Brady will turn into a superhero.
“We saw it on the last two discs. [in the win over the New Orleans Saints] on Monday night [in Week 13]. They didn’t have a chance to do it. [against the 49ers] because they were blown off the field.
“Put him in a place where he gets that aura, the years just melt away.
“I still think this is the team most likely to win [NFC South] division and the team is likely to create some chaos in the playoffs… but they are dancing dangerously close to the line to blow it up.”
