Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sealed a memorable 2nd-ever Super Bowl title earlier this month. They made their way to a comfortable 9-31 win over Kansas City Chiefs on February 7th, 2020, at the Raymond James Stadium. Brady connected with former teammates Rob Gronkowski, and Antonio Brown to win his 7th Championship ring.

This was Bruce Arians’ first Super Bowl title win as a coach. Tampa Bay Buccaneers deserved credit for putting together a stunning squad in the build-up to the 2020 season.

Popular podcast show host Jason McIntyre made an appearance on ESPN’s First Take earlier today. While applauding the Buccaneers’ display last season, McIntyre raised some serious doubts regarding their title credentials in 2021.

He said, “I got issues with this team. First of all, this is a crazy stat that I saw. It’s mind-boggling. Every player who scored a touchdown for the Bucs in the Super Bowl is up as a free agent…we don’t know about Antonio Brown.

“We don’t know about Leonard Fournette and then you look at the bigger picture guys. Chris Godwin is going to command top dollar…

“Lavonte David’s a free agent. I mean Shaq Barrett, who dominated the postseason, he’s a free agent. So the Bucs have a lot to do,” McIntyre said on the show.
