Peyton Manning has always had a knack for mocking and saying things that get fans riled up. The Sheriff has recently gone on to indirectly mock his ex-rival, Tom Brady. The retired quarterback went on to tweet a very controversial opinion about the format of the game during the postseason.

Manning spoke about the possibility of there not being a playoff series for the NFC south. While it might not be the most polite thing to say, Manning was very clear on what the state of the NFC playoffs would be. However, Manning’s words have gotten fans to react in very varied ways.

One fan just assumed that Manning was jealous of the rings that Brady has won.

Furthermore, a fan mentions how horrid the competition has been up until now.

Users also compared Manning to Brady.

Some users thought that Manning was getting a big head.

However, some fans shared their alternate opinion on the subject.

Furthermore, a user mentioned the protection the league gives Tom Brady.

Finally, there was a user who thought that no one in the division should play in the playoffs.

All in all, the narrative of the teams remains the same. In Tom Brady’s case, the Buccaneers have been at the top of their table with a losing record. Therefore, Manning’s words aren’t completely false. The Bucs have not been performing to their level.

Bucs’ dwindling performance

Despite being led by one of the greatest quarterbacks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in a huge rut. They have been going on a 2 game-loss week and 8 losses. After their recent losses, the Bucs have fallen to 0.429. However, they still remain at the top of their table. In moments such as this, the point made by Manning starts to resonate.

While Manning might have been mocking the old quarterback, it makes one wonder why the quarterback is still playing. With a pathetic record, the Bucs need to buck up if they want to play postseason. However, how much effort can help a team this late into the season?
