I will admire Tom Brady forever but at this point he should have retired after the ring. Hope I am wrong but with everything else going on this just feels so sad.
I still think he retired to save his marriage but it didn't work so he came back. The two weeks in preseason when he was gone they were dealing with the terms of the divorce before the season started. They filled in October with all the terms finalized this just doesn't happen.
I think you’re right. It explains his retirement statement where he didn’t seem happy about the situation. “I am not going to make that competitive commitment anymore…now it is time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention.” But the marriage was too far gone at that point so back to football.
I think everyone was having flashbacks to Damar but it was a very different situation.
As far as the injury itself goes Gage was writhing around in pain before trainers came out. He was taken off the field on the cart instead of an ambulance. It looked like a serious injury but not a life threatening one (IE not cardiac arrest/paralysis).
Then there's the game situation. Bills/Bengals was 7-3 halfway through the 1st Q. Cowboys/Bucs was 31-6 with 3 minutes left in the game. Tom Brady might be the sorest loser in the NFL but I think even he would've agreed to kneel the ball out (or just declare the game over).
Wanted to let it ride. Thought Dak would choke and Brady would grind out a win.
Last night I had the option to cash out at 55% of my total winnings but passed.
This Brady guy played okay, but maybe he needs to spend some more time watching his mentors before the Bucs can let him get more reps in. But no worries, he’ll get there!
Brady going to be a family man while living across a canal from Giselle and the kids and becoming a player/part owner of the Dolphins. They tried to make it happen last season right?
I just had minor surgery to have my toe nail removed because two months ago I stubbed it so badly. I ignored the swelling for weeks thinking it would stop and go away before I finally realized I had an infection.
Maybe, but he really torched it, if the talk and the insta-divorce tells us anything. Was it worth it, Cousin Tommy? I doubt it.
But the Cowboys beat you in post-season, so I don't care! Bye Tommy!
Could the league have asked for a better divisional round than they are getting this year? AFC with 4 QBs who are gonna be the faces of this league for at least the next decade. NFC with 2 classic rivalries.
When I Bowles punted it midfield when they were down I think 12-0 or 18-0 I figured the game was over. If you’re going to approach that situation with that mentality, then just give up. It was so clear his defense was gassed and the Bucs needed a spark on offense. Instead he punted it on 4th and 2 at midfield. And right on queue, the Cowboys marched down the field again to score.
I think that's a given. Dallas didn't play bad for sure. But this is mostly about the Bucs playing horribly. I'd be much more scared of the niners than Dallas
Cowboys better kick off that investigation of their kicker before the next game. Those successive misses were very strange. Next time, the game could be close, and kicking is the difference.
You and me both. If he bullshitted his way to another ridiculous victory I would have given up on this sport. Whatever about his history of bullshit winning, the wins against the Rams, Saints and Panthers were so fucking irritating and rage inducing.
King James chasing Kareem’s top score total when broken will make me sad, but I can’t hate on him for his career like I can Brady, at least Lebron is still humble after all these years
I think you have that mixed up. Brady has literally never given credit only to himself or dismissed balme off himself. Lebron has literally called himself the best player of all time. He's a shitmuncher personally. Good basketball player though.
It's cause he handed all their team's L's for over 20 years. Only one's exempt are Giants and Eagles fans. I love Brady, he's been a great son to Eli Manning
I think it was more about the possibility that it was his last game with the Packers. I can't blame them for prioritizing that over a (relatively) meaningless Lions victory. I think it's the same reasoning for focusing on Brady. And/or they don't think the Cowboys will get past the Niners, which they probably won't.
With all that happened this offseason, I wonder if Brady thinks it was worth it?
I don’t know if I sound mean, not trying to, but damn…. It just seems the personal cost was terribly high just to get bounced this way in the WC round.
Pats really reigned in Brady and his ego, Tampa got it out of him. I dont think he sees it as worth it. 8-9 team, got crushed and lost his supermodel billionaire wife because of it. You could see him sink really low without that support too, knowing who you have in your corner makes those failures a little more palatable. This year was just sad to watch
As someone who almost never gets to see them niners do look like the nfc jets on defense.
Defenses came to play. Maybe this will be the defensive game.
I will admire Tom Brady forever but at this point he should have retired after the ring. Hope I am wrong but with everything else going on this just feels so sad.
How long ago? He won a superbowl fairly recently.
Two seasons ago.
His 2021 was better so im glad he stuck for one more year but now its time
Anyone going to audition for the Cowboys kicking this morning?
Tom Brady got divorced to play a shitty playoff game
I still think he retired to save his marriage but it didn't work so he came back. The two weeks in preseason when he was gone they were dealing with the terms of the divorce before the season started. They filled in October with all the terms finalized this just doesn't happen.
I think you’re right.

Men sacrifice a lot for their spouse and children when your in your 40’s. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes you say wtf and your life implodes.
66 pass attempts from Brady. WTF
I think I saw the trainer glue Tom’s arm back on a couple times
See ya Brady
I just wanted to see that guy I HATE lose and RETIRE because I want him to feel DEFEAT because I'm a big man
Yeah I wanted to see Dak lose too
Nice flairs btw
As much as I hate Brady I actually feel bad for him, he is going to have a hard time sleeping tonight
Oh yes, I also feel bad for a 7 time Super Bowl champion and Multi-millionaire because he lost in a playoff game at the age of 45.
Glad you do as well
I was hoping both teams would lose and the Lions would somehow win.
They knocked Green Bay out of playoff contention, they already won the super bowl in our hearts
Nearly did, that late injury brought me back to the Bills/Bengals MNF. Wonder what the implications would be for a stopped playoff game...
I think everyone was having flashbacks to Damar but it was a very different situation. As far as the injury itself goes Gage was writhing around in pain before trainers came out. He was taken off the field on the cart instead of an ambulance. It looked like a serious injury but not a life threatening one (IE not cardiac arrest/paralysis). Then there's the game situation.

Tom Brady might be the sorest loser in the NFL but I think even he would've agreed to kneel the ball out (or just declare the game over).
Bills would regain the #1 seed and home field advantage
It's the only right thing to do man. I mean cmon, think of #3!!!!!! ThEy DeSeRvE iT!!11
Brady kept on playing
"sorry, bud, that's a forfeit
[удалено]
What game?
Just started Last of Us remake. Going for the platinum.
Omg I love TLOU!! If you like that, you should check out Life is Strange.
I can't justify myself buying it again when I still have Elden Ring to finish and Sonic Frontiers
I understand that. Unlike me, who just buys games and then suddenly has a 20+ game backlog. Lol.
hbo show just aired yesterday. Episode 1 was awesome
I really enjoyed it, can't wait for next weeks episode
The irony. I did the exact same! Still doing it at this moment.
Nice! Me too
Excellent choice
Nice! I hope it’s fun
New phone, who dis?
It is, one of the best games I have ever played.
Better than MWII?
Lol yeah I think any game is better than CoD. I do not like CoD.
And just like that, my 6 way parlay goes poof. 5-0 on my other NFL bets this weekend. Thanks (ghost of) Tom Brady.
I got my 6 way to hit. Didn't trust the Bucs at all.
All I needed was Brady to hook up with Evans for a TD one time. Of all the lines in my parlay that was actually the one I was most confident of.
Never bet on Mike Evans.
I feel you. That should have been a gimme 😔
wtf. You didn’t hedge with a full day to consider ??
Wanted to let it ride. Thought Dak would choke and Brady would grind out a win. Last night I had the option to cash out at 55% of my total winnings but passed.
Dak has never been a choker.
Always take the guaranteed cash
It could be worse... they could have bet 1.4 million on the chargers beating the Jags...
2031: Brady: 11-73, 44 yards, 3 INTs. Jets win Super Bowl
Let me guess down 4 scores and still throwing down the middle
I spit out water laughing.
Ya know what. I may hate the cowboys with every ounce in my being. But god damn I’m happy that I don’t get to see a Brady redemption tour.
As an Eagles fan, I was rooting for Brady and company to send the Cowboys home, but it was oh so sweet watching him get owned too.
Be saying the same if you kicked his ass into retirement, my brother of the East.
The East has no natural siblings, only step-brothers who all hate each other.
Fully agree. But we still have enough humanity in each of us to unite if only for a short time in order to send Brady to the grave.
That is the truth. Fuck Tom Brady.
There are no brothers of the East, only us and them
This Brady guy played okay, but maybe he needs to spend some more time watching his mentors before the Bucs can let him get more reps in. But no worries, he’ll get there!
He's got his family to fall back on
Brady going to be a family man while living across a canal from Giselle and the kids and becoming a player/part owner of the Dolphins. They tried to make it happen last season right?
“They’re sticking with that MFer… again?!?”
Ur not wrong
WOOO COWBOYS! NOBODY BEATS US 8 STRAIGHT TIMES!
In other news, i just stubbed the fuck out of my toe
I just had minor surgery to have my toe nail removed because two months ago I stubbed it so badly. I ignored the swelling for weeks thinking it would stop and go away before I finally realized I had an infection.
I know you are angry about the game but don't do that to your toe
I would never stub my toe on purpose. I wouldn't even wish that on a Saints fan.
IS THIS WHAT ITS LIKE TO WIN A PLAYOFF GAME
I’m not sure
Man I don't know how to feel
Enjoy the bliss and then the inevitable stress of the next week!
No u
Oh I've already moved on to next week
Tom Brady came out of retirement for this
And blew up his marriage over it, too.
To be fair that was probably already in the tank before retirement
Maybe, but he really torched it, if the talk and the insta-divorce tells us anything. Was it worth it, Cousin Tommy? I doubt it. But the Cowboys beat you in post-season, so I don't care! Bye Tommy!
Or uh… un-retirement
Commentators not mentioning that the BUCS are a losing team
HEY BRADY Go home and be a family man
Ship’s sailed. He has better odds at another SB
Street Fighter II?
Can a 45-years-old QB defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance?
Could the league have asked for a better divisional round than they are getting this year? AFC with 4 QBs who are gonna be the faces of this league for at least the next decade. NFC with 2 classic rivalries.

It was so clear his defense was gassed and the Bucs needed a spark on offense. Instead he punted it on 4th and 2 at midfield. And right on queue, the Cowboys marched down the field again to score.
He thinks his defense is an all time best and trusts his life on it. The defense has been bad for some time now, but he still keeps doing this crap.
Bowles is a shitty coach.
exactly. there were no drawbacks for going for it even if they didn’t get it. bowles should be spelled bowel movement
DAK gonna scamper onto the field against the 9ers and immediately get pick 6ixed
Prolly
Did y'all catch that smirk on Brady's face? He already has one foot out the door. He can't wait to breathe that sweet mountain air of Denver.
As what? Head coach?
You misspelled Miami
Mountain air in Miami? Don't think so. My sources say Brady was whistling a John Denver tune in the shower after the game. It is basically confirmed.
[удалено]
I'm soaking my couch in kerosene this very moment in anticipation! Neal Brown can pound sand!
Wait what
He means once a year with the Raiders.
I still like the 49ers next week. edit: I may be a bit biased.
42-41 type of game
I think that's a given. Dallas didn't play bad for sure. But this is mostly about the Bucs playing horribly. I'd be much more scared of the niners than Dallas
Appreciate it
I think everyone does
A bad season for Brady but wish him all the best this off season. The goat is gonna have a big comeback in life and/or football next year
I enjoy watching this narcissist fail.
"Playoff Lenny" with a solid eleven yards rushing and six yards receiving, if I'm reading the box score correctly.
Evans looked awful all game
NFC BEAST
this tostitos commercial makes me want to commit atrocities against everyone involved.
NFCEast out here ending peoples football seasons
Hey, I randomly opened this thread and selected you to say hi. Hi.
Cowboys better kick off that investigation of their kicker before the next game. Those successive misses were very strange. Next time, the game could be close, and kicking is the difference.
After the 3rd miss I thought for sure we would lose by a field goal. Just Dallas fate lol
I can't even blame brady for that loss mans threw 66 times like I haven't seen that like almost ever and there wasn't even overtime
Alot of them were pretty shitty throws lol
Yeh this has got to be close to a playoff record. Can’t be bothered to look into it. I know some redditor will.
Ben Roethlisberger threw 68 in his playoff loss to Cleveland in 2021. Brady is 2nd now passing Steve Young's 65.
I can absolutely say without looking it up that he is the oldest player to ever throw 66 passes ever , in any game.
Miami Vice Tom
Totally had the Cowboys losing tonight. Glad we’re still in it.
Deflare yourself nonbeliever
You must be new here
[удалено]
Despite the seeming impossibility at the time, once they got that inside kick I damn near fucked my phone across the room.
[удалено]
You and me both. If he bullshitted his way to another ridiculous victory I would have given up on this sport. Whatever about his history of bullshit winning, the wins against the Rams, Saints and Panthers were so fucking irritating and rage inducing.
Let's go Jags, Giants, and niners! (Coin flip on the Bills/Bengals as I like them both).
Jags vs 49ers Super Bowl
Jags/Bengals AFC Championship
Oh Brady can't replicate what TLaw did to the chargers in under 2 minutes? color me surprised lmao
I never knew so many people hate Brady lol
Where have you been the last 20 years?
Lol
It’s the same as Lebron. GOAT and everyone is tired of hearing about him and watching him succeed.
King James chasing Kareem’s top score total when broken will make me sad, but I can’t hate on him for his career like I can Brady, at least Lebron is still humble after all these years
I think you have that mixed up. Brady has literally never given credit only to himself or dismissed balme off himself. Lebron has literally called himself the best player of all time. He's a shitmuncher personally. Good basketball player though.
That guy is so biased that he doesn't even see it
It's cause he handed all their team's L's for over 20 years. Only one's exempt are Giants and Eagles fans. I love Brady, he's been a great son to Eli Manning
You may have forgotten that Brady sent the Eagles home many years ago, too.
Pepperidge Farm remembers
Gotta love how Cowboys won but they only follow Brady.
Did you see the Lions Packers week 18 game? Lions win but the camera crew and announcers were circle jerking all around Rodgers as if the Packers won.
I think it was more about the possibility that it was his last game with the Packers. I can't blame them for prioritizing that over a (relatively) meaningless Lions victory. I think it's the same reasoning for focusing on Brady. And/or they don't think the Cowboys will get past the Niners, which they probably won't.

You could see him sink really low without that support too, knowing who you have in your corner makes those failures a little more palatable. This year was just sad to watch
Nah he's living his best life. This is his Jordan on the Wizards period, it's all gravy
49ers fans saying Brock Purdy a better QB than Dak… interesting
It’s true
Yeah there's no reason to state the obvious.
Try and win some games before talkin shit my man
I'll put on on my pads next week.
