  • um, or impressed by the Bucks or disappointed by the Saints?

  • Well, I was disappointed by the Saints because I was disappointed in the performance and Drew Brees.

  • Drew Brees obviously has had more spectacular performances throughout his career.

  • That, clearly was not the case yesterday.

  • Threw three interceptions, Onley through for about 134 yards.

  • That's the future we're talking about Drew Brees here particularly considering the fact that this was potentially his last game.

  • I was also relatively disappointed in Sean Sean Payton.

  • We all know what a genius he is, particularly coaching on that offensive side of the ball, even though he's your head coaches in a brilliant play caller and what have you.

  • I thought that Alvin Camara's number should have been called more not predicted Tampa Bay was gonna win this game.

  • I wasn't high.

  • Wasn't strong on that opinion.

  • I just didn't wanna jump on the bandwagon.

  • So I'm not gonna be hypocritical here, Molly.

  • But what I would tell you is that I found it very, very difficult to believe that Tom Brady is that goat that Tom Brady is.

  • That elite quarterback Tom Brady is that six time super Bowl champion who's been the non Super Bowls in his illustrious career.

  • And you shall lack him not once but twice during the regular season, and we were going to get more of the same in a divisional playoff game.

  • I just found that incredibly hard to believe that him having three shots at the Apple to go up against somebody, that he was gonna wet the bed.

  • And sure enough, he did not know.

  • He was a spectacular yesterday, but he got it done.

  • 199 yards, 18 for 33 pass and I get it.

  • But the defense Todd Bowles arguably deserves the game ball because that defense pretty much held New Orleans in a little bit of check.

  • And as a result of that, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are moving on.

  • They're gonna Lambeau Field for an NFC championship game and the New Orleans Saints.

  • We're going home and I think it's because we expected more from breezing and get it.

  • We expected Mawr from Sean Payton and we didn't get it and we expected more from Alvin Kamara and it was no fault of his own that we didn't get it because he should have gotten the ball more.

  • I was more impressed by Tom Brady and the Bucks and let me start by saying, Yes, I'm the cliff, the cliff, the cliff, the cliff.

  • That's right And he proved me wrong.

  • But there's something else that he's proving right now.

  • He left Bill Belichick, Tom Brady did with the cupboard there, and he put himself in a great position.

  • Nevertheless, he then had to go out and get it done.

  • Not easy in a covert year when you're on a new team and you have to figure everything out on the fly, he did it.

  • And Molly, you said it off the top.

  • Like, right now, Brady looks really good.

  • He's in the championship game in a conference championship without Belichick, Belichick, seven and nine and sitting at home.

  • But you pointed out why Mali?

  • He didn't make mistakes and Drew Brees did.

  • Was Tom Brady spectacular?

  • No, he's 43 years old, but in the moment of truth, I tweeted out before the fourth quarter.

  • Okay, here we are.

  • Tie game.

  • Drew Brees has a chance here.

  • He has one championship in his career.

  • Tom Brady has six A nen or mus reason.

  • Tom Brady has six, not just Belichick.

  • Tom Brady's decision making is better than everyone else's.

  • That's really why he's the goat.

  • And in these situations, much more often than not, he comes through.

  • At the very least, he doesn't hand to the other team as usual.

  • Tom Brady didn't make mistakes, and the other quarterback did.

  • But it was more than just Brady.

  • The offensive line, which had an injury.

  • And then the backup got hurt in the whole thing.

  • The offensive line protected Brady very well.

  • The States, really We're not bothering him with pressure for most of that game.

  • That's what it is.

  • The defense was getting after it.

  • So the Bucks were really better, in fact, on both sides of the ball by the end of the game, and their quarterback in the moment of truth, came through, at least by not messing it up.

  • And the Saints quarterback didn't.

  • But you know what?

  • Ah, lot of quarterbacks messed that up.

  • Who has the decision making of Tom Brady?

  • It's why he's the goat.

  • I was impressed.

  • Well, let's be clear about something here, too.

  • We can't let Jared cook off the hook.

  • Hey, had, You know, Drew Brees connected with him over a beautiful pass over the middle, and he got stripped.

  • And obviously, that ended up being a turnover.

  • One of Drew Brees interceptions.

  • He hit Jared Cook right in the shoulder, right in the left shoulder.

  • It bounced off of his shoulder.

  • Obviously, his his vision was impaired to some degree because there was a defender right in front of him.

  • But the ball hit him, went through his hands, hit him in the shoulder and caromed off for him into the arms of a Tampa Bay defender.

  • And so we gotta look at him.

  • He didn't have the greatest game as well.

  • He was clearly frustrated, cared a lot, obviously was incredibly frustrated because he knew that was on him.

  • So you gotta take those things into consideration as well.

  • Everything wasn't on.

  • Drew Brees is just the at the end.

  • In the end, when there's so much expectations has been placed on the shoulders of this future Hall of Famer who was arguably playing in his very last game as an NFL star quarterback.

  • And then you look at Sean Payton and his genius and you looking Alvin Kamara, 18 carries, 85 yards.

  • How effective he was whenever he touched the ball.

  • Why in God's name would you not get the ball to him?

  • Or I understand the Tar Balls defense, you know, was doing their thing.

  • But still in all, Alvin Kamara has that explosive kind of play attached to him.

  • You got to get him the ball a little bit more.

  • He didn't touch the ball nearly as much as he should.

  • As far as I'm concerned, I thought he should have touched the ball at least 25 times yesterday.

  • Look, you're right about Drew Brees.

  • He hits a tight end and he get and the tight end gets stripped.

  • That's not on Drew Brees.

  • And heading into the fourth quarter, however they got there because especially early in the game is like the Saints should be up by a lot right now.

  • They're not because of a couple key plays, and one of them was really not the Saints fault.

  • But heading into the fourth quarter, whatever had happened had happened already.

  • Now what, you're gonna dio, what are you going to do about it?

  • And it's not so much just that Drew Brees messed up.

  • But Tom Brady didn't one thing I felt very comfortable about the reason my focus was on.

  • Okay, Breeze, what are you gonna dio is because I had a lot of confidence that, at the very least, Brady wouldn't screw it up.

  • It's not that he's infallible.

  • He's made bad decisions in huge moments before because he's been in so many of them.

  • But much more often than not, he doesn't beat himself.

  • He doesn't force it.

  • He's not the reason you lost even in the Eagle Super Bowl right through for a billion yards.

  • He wasn't the reason they lost that game.

  • He did it again.

  • He did it again.

  • His offensive line came through.

  • His defense is peaking at just the right time.

  • That was a very impressive performance by the Bucks on the road against a team that has beaten them twice in obviously a must win game for them, but also ah, big game in a certain respect for Brady's legacy, just in the sense that okay, Tom Brady, you're not in a division with the weakest quarterbacks ever over a 20 year period, so you have a free pass to the A F C championship game.

  • You're now in a division with another great quarterback and he's beating you twice.

  • What you gonna do?

  • Are you gonna get to the championship game again?

  • The answer was yes.

  • It was impressive by Tom Brady in the Bucks.
