Bruce Arians’ Harsh Critique of Tom Brady Goes Far Deeper Than What Meets the Eye

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers lost three in a row into Week 9. But Tampa Tom has bounced back from the worst start to a season in his 23-year career. However, despite the win over the Seahawks in Munich, some still think Brady deserves more blame for the losses earlier in the season.

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians recently spoke about the franchise’s comeback win in an interview with JoeBucsFan.com. According to Arians, it was the coaching staff that deserved the applause and not Tom Brady.

Tom Brady has been bad according to Arians

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Seahawks 21-16 in a historic encounter in Munich’s Allianz Arena, marking the first international fixture in Germany. TB12 threw with 75% pass accuracy over 258 yards with 1 touchdown in his name. However, former Super Bowl-winning HC Bruce Arians thinks that HC Todd Bowles and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich deserve the credit for keeping their composure after dropping to 3-5. Especially when “Brady was playing bad.”

This received some criticism from former player and NFL analyst Jim ‘Mad Dog’ Mandich. “First off, he is not John Wooden. When he left UCLA with 10 trophies. He won one title, oh my god. Bruce thinks he has to give the state of the Bucs address,” Mad Dog said. However, Stephen A. came to Arians’ defense and thought the former HC deserved to speak his mind since “he is a champion with the vast majority of players on this squad. So not only does he know the team, he knows the players.”

Leftwich had expressed concern about his job after three back-to-back losses to the Steelers, the Panthers, and the Ravens. Mad Dog thinks Bruce Arians is saving the OC and “trying to make sure that we take the wolves off Leftwich.”

TB12 is not the problem with the Bucs

5-5 Tampa Bay has struggled with multiple injury problems to crucial players this NFL season. Chris Godwin had 1 touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks after a long recovery from knee injuries. WR Julio Jones has also been inconsistent with his game time. According to Buccaneers QB coach, Clyde Christensen, The 5x Super Bowl MVP is finding it hard to work with the Tampa receivers at full speed. And this is affecting end-zone conversions.
