Opinion: Tonight will be Tom Brady's final game

[Cowboys1966]

Dolphins are a better team but are 10 million over the cap and had to forfeit their first round pick do to how they handled the Tua concussion situation.

Dolphins are the better immediate situation, but Oakland isn't exactly far behind. 3 picks in the top 70 (one of which top 8), a coach Brady likes/trust, and with restructures + the signing of Tom should still have about 30 million in space.

LOL, they didn’t lose their first round draft pick over Tua… It was tampering with Brady.

$10 million over the cap? On overthecap.com by just restructuring 3 players, Hill, Chub, Armstead, I got them to 36 million under the cap. The cap is so fluid nowadays that it is relatively easy to do whatever you want.

This is his final game against the Cowboys, and will run his record to 8 and 0.

Yeah your right, I actually forgot about that. They tampered with both Brady and Sean Payton when both were still under contract

 

[FanofJerry]

Doesnt he have options? He still looks quality to me.

Are Niners still needing a QB or have they bought in on JImmy? Are the Raiders good on both sides of the ball but just need a QB?

Tampa is injury riddled...but do they come back healthy next year?

 

[MikeB80]

I can’t see him going to a crap team like that. Tom will go where he can win NOW. With Tuas concussion, Tom can go to Miami and have a real chance that same season

They have among the best players at their position at RB, WR and TE.

 

[DallasEast]

Tom Brady? As a Dolphin? Facing off against Bill Belichick twice in the regular season? That would be rich.

 

[DFWJC]

I think we had this thread a couple of time already this past week.

Maybe someone can do a poll?

 

[deerhunter11]

I call tonights game the Brady bowl let’s send Brady home a loser tonight for a change

 

[Bing]

Yes this will be his last game in a Bucs uniform. I expect him in a Dolphins uniform next year.

 

[Mr_437]

Raiders?

It would certainly be the worst defesive team he's ever played for.
Brady, for most of his career, has not had great weapons (in NE). But he's almost always had good defenses and o-lines.

 

[FVSTONE]

I think he knows it, too. I think the real factor in tonight's game will be the reality that father time is setting in.
The Buccaneers don't expect to win a Super Bowl. They know they only made the playoffs because their division was so bad. Tom Brady knows that another season will only take him away from his kids more after a painful divorce. And one bad hit could put him recovering through the off season.
The NFL most assuredly wants a Cowboys/ 49'ers rematch after using the Cowboys/Buccaneers to drive ratings up for the opening round of the playoffs. That's why this game was the last one, and prime time on Monday night.
Brady will lose to the Cowboys for the first time, driving ratings even higher for the 49'ers rematch.
Cowboys 33, Buccaneers 14.

If Brady wins a SB then yes, this is it for him. If not, then he will be back for another season with possibly another team.

 

[leeblair]

I think Brady wants to play again, and he might even try, but I think reality is closing in on him. If he keeps playing his kids will be grown and he will have missed out on them.
But Tampa doesn't think they will win tonight, and in the third quarter I think reality will set in on all of them.

 

[USArmyVet]

...and Dak Prescott will be 44 of 56 and 379 yards passing for three touchdowns, while Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard will rush for 89 yards combined and no TDs.

Charlie Brown's brain will literally explode.

LOL....and if my aunt had nuts she would be my uncle.

that is right send him home total loser...lost his marriage and final game cause he just had to play one more year

 

[GORICO]

This is his final game against the Cowboys, and will run his record to 8 and 0.

hey Joe----you have cowboys losing....can you just say...my name is Joe Realist and i am not really a cowboy fan....as soon as it gets a little bumpy i jump off?????

 

[leeblair]

that is right send him home total loser...lost his marriage and final game cause he just had to play one more year

That's not my intention, but it sure could play out that way in his mind.

 

[kevm3]

Nearly every time we have these surefire win predictions, we end up losing.

The cowboys have a tough time against tough defenses and have had a tough time against the Bucs defense when we've played them, so I'm not sure what will be so different this time. Our defense has also been taking a late season slide, so perfect opportunity for Brady to light us up.

I'd love to see the Cowboys come out fired up, but the trend the past few games doesn't look great.

 

[CowboyRoy]

are we supposed to pick our team to lose?

Brady being his last game,

 

[Portnoy1]

Next week will be his last game ever in San Francisco and we all know it. They will put foots in him and the Bucs like we are supposed to do tonight but probably won’t. I’ll happily come out and eat crow if we win though. I really hope I’m wrong.
