“I Can Live With a Drop”: Tom Brady Throws Shade at Aaron Rodgers While Reflecting on His Receivers’ Dropped Catches During Bucs vs Rams

Tom Brady was in an ecstatic mood after the Bucs beat the Rams this Sunday in a really tight game. However, the Bucs were literally out of the game with just a few seconds left on the clock. However, Brady used his experience and threw a one-yard pass to the rookie tight end, Cade Otton, for a touchdown and a win.

Despite the win, the Bucs players missed a lot of catches in the game. Even in the game against the Panthers, Mike Evans dropped an easy catch, and people criticized him massively. However, Brady was not very critical of his receivers, as he recently talked about what bothers him the most.

Did Tom Brady take a dig at Aaron Rodgers?

During his weekly podcast, ‘Let’s Go’, host Jim Gray asked Brady about his earlier statement about not getting bothered by dropped catches. In reply, TB12 said, “I know there’s a lot more people that probably play golf than play football, but, you know, if you hit a bad shot, you hit a bad shot.”

“I think the problem comes when you… you make the wrong decision before the club’s in your hand. So, if you make the wrong decision before you even step up to the play, you don’t even give yourself a chance. So that’s where I have a problem if you don’t know what to do, or we don’t know how to do it, both those are problems.” 

“I can live with the physical mistake, I can live with a drop, I can live with a missed block. If I throw a bad pass, and I miss my mark, I know the receiver can live with that. I think the problem is if we are doing the wrong thing from a communication standpoint, whether that’s me communicating poorly or the backs or the line. And you have unblocked people and things just don’t go right… Really an unforced error, that’s what we need to eliminate,” he further said.

During the offseason, the Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was really critical of his receivers. According to reports, he called a meeting where he gave a speech to some of the young receivers, including Samori Toure, Romeo Doubs, and others. After not going for any wide receivers at the trade deadline, Rodgers talked about trusting their existing team.

In a recent interview with Pat McAfee, Rodgers praised both Toure and Doubs and their contribution to the team. However, he felt disheartened by a lot of injuries, as he talked about not getting a healthy team from the start of the season.

On the other hand, the Bucs have finally ended their 3-match losing streak after beating the Rams this Sunday. It will be interesting to see if they can continue this winning momentum. Currently, they have a 4-5 win-loss record; despite that, they are sitting at the top of the table in the NFC South division.
