However, PJ Walker made sure that he clinches a second win for the side, improving their record, posting 21 in the game. Fans were quite unhappy with Brady’s performance, especially after incurring consecutive losses in the early season.
“This loss stings… Seriously, our inability to score touchdowns is concerning” one of the fans reacted to Brady’s post-game press conference. Meanwhile, another fan pointed out the Evans’ missed pass in the first quarter.
“Tom Brady threw a lot of poor passes today and was fortunate not to have 2-3 Ints – His best pass was dropped by Evans for a sure TD,” said the fan. “Forget about the drops from the receivers, they’re at times not even running the right routes….. If they can’t create lanes for our backs to run it’s going to make it hard,” pointed out another fan.
However, some of the fans pointed out the coaching responsibilities. They claimed BA was better compared to Bowles. “It’s all the coaching here folks! Ba is winner todd is not,” said the user. “The #1 area of improvement should be the offensive line,” another fan said. Indeed, the most important reason for Brady being sacked several times this season.

The QB connected for 32 of 49 passes for 290 yards, with WR Mike Evans leading the receiver corps. However, the first-quarter catch drop by the veteran, despite being wide open, changed the momentum of the game. Had it been executed perfectly, the squad could have eventually progressed. But it was a disappointment in the end.
“We just have not played well. It doesn’t matter. You know, if you don’t execute your job, well, then it doesn’t matter who’s on the other side.” Brady said when asked about how he felt losing against the Panthers.

The Ravens and the Rams are next on the line for Brady and Co. An immediate introspection is necessary, otherwise, the situation could get much worse.
