Tom Brady is the GOAT, but this game doesn’t really do anything for that legacy in my opinion.

You put hIm behind that depleted KC offensive line and make him run for his life (which he could not have done like Mahomes did) and he doesn’t win this game.  

He is the no-brainer best to do it, but he will get far too much credit for THIS game

It was official a long time ago.

After calming down a bit, I'm OK with the win. I told myself at the beginning of the season I don't think I would mind seeing Brady win a Super Bowl with the Bucs since they're historically a terrible franchise, but I quickly found myself (again) cursing his name several times over the course of the night. How does he do it?

The whole team looked amazing from start to finish, though. Knocking out Brees and Rodgers to get to this point is amazing, too.

KC and the zebras gave them plenty of help too.

I was quite pissed at the refs on the Bucs' final TD drive of the first half, but it's not like there were any bad calls or no-calls that halted promising drives when the Chiefs were on offense. Bucs were still the better team tonight.

You cannot I’ve anyone the title of GOAT.  Brady is playing in a different time when QBs are given more protection.  Do you really think he would still be playing with the rules for Johnny U., Len Dawson, Don Meredith, etc.  You can’t hit low ; you can’t high; you can’t hit above the shoulders; you can’t fall on him when you tackle him.  It is not justBrady.  Games evolve.  As a result, you cannot compare across eras.

That is probably fair. It gets closer to 7 on 7 rules for the quarterback every year. I don’t recall Brady facing one of these but could be wrong. 

If he did, yellow handkerchiefs would fly and someone would be sitting out the rest of the game waiting on a fine and possible suspension.

Feel like that would not be a flag today either. Hit him in the back, that is still open season.

But Brady’s played in a couple of different eras.  That’s got to count for something.😛😄

Led with the helmet/face mask and launched toward the head and neck area. He also landed on him with his full body weight. No way that isn’t a penalty today.

      What is this program missing?

      Right but if we hadn't done anything since the 60s, we wouldn't have a football program today. We were one vote away from dropping football 20 something years ago. Our adminstration basically told the Athletic Department that if the next guy didn't turn things around, that was it. The next guy that was hired was Art Briles.

      I hate to help you out in any way, but Houston had some pretty signature wins back in the 60's that got them noticed. They beat #3 Michigan State 37-7 in 1967, in 68 they tied #4 Texas and #7 Georgia, and beat Tulsa a NCAA record 100-6. Those were the days of Warren McVea and the veer.

      We can hate on him but I do think he makes solid points. It is somewhat helpful to have an outside perspective that isn’t drinking the green kool-aid. (Although it crosses a line if that person starts kicking us while we’re down-which I don’t think he’s done in this post). So this offseason/next year looks like the following: -give morris another year to see what he can build -hire a new defensive coordinator -hopefully hang on to Chandler Morris and Sheffield -pray for a healthy RB room Anything I’m missing? This year: Still think a bowl win gives the program some momentum going into next year. Maybe my expectations grew too large after that 5-1 start, but man there was a glaring need defensively that was not addressed. The offense has also just fallen off a cliff.
