In a low-scoring thriller on Sunday, the Tom Brady-led Buccaneers had to taste defeat by the hands of the Packers at home. Both teams lacked enough threshold to pull the trigger in the offensive unit. A fragile O-line made all the difference for Brady; however, his long-time fan and famous media personality Skip Bayless wasn’t ready to accept the defeat and called out his teammates responsible for the loss.

Whether you win or lose, it’s always a collective effort in the NFL. There is no place for excuses, especially when a player like Brady loses in the regular season. Although it happens rarely, the NFL Sunday witnessed the Seven-time Super Bowl champion losing 14-10 to the Packers.

However, in the recent episode of ‘UNDISPUTED’, Brady supporter Skip Bayless believes that his quarterback was deprived of the weapons, which led to his loss. WR Scott Miller, who is one of the exceptional talents, was clueless, and the newcomer, Cole Beasley, failed to meet the expectations.

“Little Scotty Miller just looks more lost than ever and breaking through in five balls. He caught one for four yards just today because he can’t run routes except for go routes.” Bayless said on the show, arguing Sharpe’s comments for the loss.

“It was like shocking and Brady threw him a couple of balls that weren’t catchable footballs. And he just couldn’t go up and get them because he’s not really a receiver. He’s a sprinter,” Bayless added to his explanation. To some extent, his analysis happens to be true.

Miller was the same athlete who catalyzed Brady’s admission into the Super Bowl last year. It was the NFC championship game, and the wideout was the go-to man for Brady to add six on the scoreboard despite having an option to convert with a field goal. But this time, things didn’t go as per plan.

“Our job is to go out there and score points. We’re not going to do that with poor execution.” Brady said per Scott Smith of the Buccaneers. Well, the quarterback has one more chance to reinstate his confidence as he will face Patrick Mahomes next week.
