The NFL season is not fitting in for Tom Brady. The Buccaneers have hit 3-3 this season and are coming off a loss. For Tampa Bay, it is a tough spot as they aim for another Lombardi lift. This year has not been so fruitful for TB12, who is hemmed in with a lot of troubles. However, former NFL QB turned analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick thinks he would bounce back.

The NFL’s journeyman QB appeared guest on The Rich Eisen Show. He discusses why the Bills are the favored team in the AFC, as well as Tom Brady and the Buccaneers’ faltering offense. Ryan Fitzpatrick called the laser-focused QB looks disinterested, but he could pull a comeback.

 

Ryan Fitzpatrick mentioned, “I think they’ll be fine… The Bucs, to me, are just a team. I mean, he seems a little disinterested this season. It’s been interesting to watch because his thing has always been how focused he is. He is laser focused all the time, whether it’s an inferior opponent or a big Sunday, Monday night game, he just always seems to be on it and there’s just something that feels a little off, that’s just missing this year.”

“I compared it to 2019, which was his last year with New England. The thing is, same thing where it’s just something fell off of that offense and he was exasperated all the time and just not really happy with the way things were going,” He added.

Fitzpatrick also stated Todd Bowles’ defense is aggressive and effective. They haven’t been performing as effectively, but they’ll sleepwalk to ten and seven. He then hopes that everything works out in the playoffs.

The TNF analyst felt TB12 had zero respect for him as he did not shake hands.
