Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers met a rough end to their season. And questions hang around Brady’s future after the 31-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs. However, the holes in the wall were there for quite some time. Besides, recent footage proves just how difficult the season was for Brady and Co.
The Buccaneers released never seen before Mic’D Up footage from their Week 14 clash with Brady’s favorite childhood team, the San Francisco 49ers. However, the homecoming footage made an entire generation’s hearts break. And fans want Brady to move on.
Tom Brady couldn’t do much with his pep talk

The Niners beat the Buccaneers 35-7 in blowout fashion. And Tom Brady’s offense crumbled in front of rookie Brock Purdy, who won in his first official NFL start against the GOAT. The seven-time Super Bowl champion only had a single touchdown pass in the game for Russell Gage. TB12 also had 2 interceptions in his 253 yards of passing in 34-of-55 attempts.
Tom screamed to get the comeback drive from his teammates, who seemed to have completely given up. “Let’s go boys, it’s time to go in and answer them. That’s why we’re f—-ing here,” Brady said after Deebo Samuel ran along the sideline mark for a 49ers touchdown.
No cap the patriots were blessed to have him, but the bucs were luckyyyyyy to have him hate to see him like this but Father Time doesn’t care who you are.

Seems like all those guys won that one superbowl and said in their minds “mission accomplished”. I’m sure it’s extremely hard to win multiple so they all kinda just gave up on consistently putting in that much effort.

That Super Bowl spoiled a lot of them guys. I hope they know Tom is the only person that’s going into the HOF when it’s time. Not the entire team that won the Super Bowl that year. 🥴.

But don’t good mics do this? Focus in on the vocals, kinda noise cancel everything around it to make it clear? When he’s talking to the team on the sidelines you can hear the guys responding it’s just muffled, likely due to the microphone’s ability to do exactly that?

Doesn’t help that Todd Bowles shows this much emotion in 20 years of coaching. pic.twitter.com/cT4f6PPTrJ

Brady is still a top tier QB. It sounds far fetched but it’s facts. Tampa was a nice stop, he gave them all he could. Get him to Dallas, SF or dare I say it, the Jets. See what happens. $

Their moral was down because yet again BRADY AND COMPANY sucked ass.
Stop trying to make Brady look good and the team look bad when Brady had a shit season and was direct at fault for the playoff loss.

Fans felt Brady’s pangs. “Let’s go boys, come on! You want it? You got it, it’s right f—-ing here. If you love football, this is where you f—-ing wanna be,” Brady shouted as the words fell on deaf Buccaneers’ ears.
Brady’s been dropping the F-bomb quite a lot
After the Niners game was well out of reach, Tom Brady asked backup QB Blaine Gabbert to take the “stupid” microphone out of his back. However, fans were surprised the Bucs put the heartbreaking portion in the mic’d-up video.
However, Brady’s frustrations seem to have carried forward to his off-season, which started way earlier than most predicted.

In the most recent episode of the Let’s Go Podcast with Jim Gray, Tampa Tom vehemently refused to answer questions about his future. And he did so with some avoidable F-bombs. “If I knew what I was gonna f—-ing do, I would have already f——ing done it,” Brady said to some awkward silence from Jim Gray.
