“Brady has everything. He has everything right now. We sat here when Brady returned from his absence, and I saw him on I said ‘guys I’m worried about this. This does not look like the Tom that we’re used to seeing’…. If he says let’s go right now, nobody’s going right now because he doesn’t even believe it, and we see that on the football field.”

“Tampa Bay right now is as good as they’re going to get. And they’re going through these problems. That’s why I’m more concerned with that loss.

Buccaneers suffer as Tom Brady’s family woes continue

6 weeks into the season and most of the fans’ fear are coming true. Tom Brady’s personal life is under duress, and it seems that is making its way onto the field. Last Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers showcased an array of problems with the Bucs squad. When Brady tore into his offensive linemen during the game, fans quickly pointed out his absence from Saturday’s meeting. Many believe that his superstar status is giving him “preferential treatment”.

Week 7, however, poses a unique challenge for Brady and the Bucs. As they prepare to face divisional opponents, the Carolina Panthers, Brady will be under severe pressure to up his performance. While a win may not count for much, a loss against the Panthers would be devastating. It could seal their fate as a team not in contention for the championship. Will the Bucs be able to make a comeback this season?
