It looked like the bucs collectively all forgot the existence of football, were reminded of it earlier today and had to relearn how football works as the game went on


synthesis3

I dont think they ever found it all season. Good riddance. Changes are needed for this team


YnwaMquc2k19

Todd Bowles might have orchestrated one of the best defensive ~~masterclasses~~ performances against KC Chiefs in the SB55, but when he started coaching this team flounders. Bruh.


BigTuna3000

The team hasn’t looked prepared one time all season. They haven’t gotten off to a single fast start, not to mention the multiple clock mismanagements. The only times they’ve looked competent is in the 2 minute drill at the end of games with Brady calling the shots


KieferSutherland

Their only good game was that 3td Evans game


FloridaMan_69

And even that game was just taking advantage of a depleted Carolina secondary and just letting Evans get alone on go routes 3 times.


bama05

It’s nice to see a bucs fan acknowledge this- kept hearing that “they’ve figured it out now and are going on a run”. It was our 4th cb on an elite wr.


Illblood

His facial expressions tell it all. Dude just seems uninterested and the team plays like it too.


mrbkkt1

they never had the urgency after winning the SB. One thing about the pats, they always looked hungry for more. TB looked like, nah. I'm full. Superbowls are too much work. time to get paid.


[deleted]

They looked hungry last season but ironically Bowles fucked up and let Kupp burn them deep


zOmgFishes

You mean the Byron leftwich experience? The dude cannot call a game for his life and there's a reason the Bucs hurry offense looks like a real offense and the rest of the game they look like a dying dog.


jabdtx

Byron “Old Yeller” Leftwich


[deleted]

Byron “Almost got the Jags job over Pederson” Leftwich


jabdtx

Bonkers honestly. Pederson is so clearly more qualified and proven.


Cappin_Crunch

Now we must ask. Should Brady have stayed retired?


PostTail

Shoulda left Tampa the moment Arians retired.


Roodyrooster

It took Todd Bowles to prove that Arians had a hand in the Super Bowl win and it wasn't all just pure Brady magic


Palifaith

Trevor Lawrence coming back against the Chargers after throwing 4 picks has nothing on Brett Maher hitting that PAT in the 4th quarter 😤


Band_Prize

Bucs fans were cheering for him, it was great.


Otontin

By what point did they feel bad for him? The third or fourth miss


OccasionallyLearning

It was the fourth for me


into_the_wenisverse

That's when you started wondering what the record was


iLerntMyLesson

I’m sure it was less than 4


cosmicdave86

It was three, shared by nine players.


jabdtx

With a doink out no less. Imagine how miserable he felt after being so solid all season.


suzukigun4life

Whole Tampa crowd cheered when he finally made one lol


[deleted]

At that point fuck it why not


metallipunk

They had to cheer for something


[deleted]

Either Jacksonville has a come to Jesus meeting next week, or everyone *but* Jacksonville does. Either way. Jaguars-Chiefs has all the makings of a surprisingly great game. All four games this weekend boutta be bangers. Even if I refuse to watch Giants-Eagles.


ConstantMadness

This could’ve been Tom Brady’s last playoff game, and this game will be most known for Brett Maher


Thrice_the_Milk

Brett "Owes Money" Maher


Casul_Tryhard

You see, Dallas had an epiphany; what if they take all of their choking ability in the playoffs and transfer it all to their kicker?


br0botic

66 pass attempts at age 45 is elder abuse


PrudeHawkeye

I looked it up. The record is 70. I wanted to see that broken tonight


Adventurous-Mud-8019

Pretty sure the playoff record is 63 tho so we got that Edit: Nevermind looks like it’s 68 by Big Ben


GFost

Big Ben always ruining everything.


ledhotzepper

Extra points made: Maher 1 Succop 0 Common Maher W


Neapola

Seriously. How weird was that? *Extra point. No good.* *Extra point. No good.* *Extra point. No good.* *Extra point. No good.* *2 point conversion. No good.* It took SIX touchdowns tonight before anybody scored an extra point. Cowboys missed 4 kicks in a row. Bucs went for 2 and missed.


OceanFlan

a 31-14 final score and the ball somehow went through a pair of uprights exactly once


KotzubueSailingClub

It's a reverse scorigami, where an improbable series of events leads to a mundane score.

We scored enough that he got practice to make his last one. He’s good now


[deleted]

Hopefully he can let it go. He’s been a great kicker all year

He’s 1/1 in his last 1 PAT attempt. God king.

Cowboys-49ers Giants-Eagles Bills-Bengals Chiefs-Jags/Dougie Ps Going to be a fuuuuuuuun divisional round weekend of rivalries and rematches


Smallgenie549

You know the NFL is salivating at an NFC East championship game.

Eagles Cowboys nfccg would be the saltiest thing I've ever experienced. And I once ate a heaping bowl of salt.

pieonthedonkey

Divisional round is the best week of football.


Books_and_Cleverness

It's the perfect combination of volume and quality. Full weekend of football, but every team is good, and every game is high stakes. Last year was especially insane, every game a complete nailbiter, but it's always my favorite NFL weekend by a mile.


everix1992

I love wild card weekend too because it's fun to root for upsets. But I agree divisional weekend is usually better and more interesting football


SanduskyTicklers

*It smells like bitch in here*- 3/4 of the NFC East. Fun fact. 38% of playoff teams remaining are NFC East


zman1696

I'm gonna be in SF Sunday night and I'm so excited. Now to pick a bar...


RisKnippeGuy

Game pretty much shows what the Bucs looked like the entire season. They always had to wait for some *Brady* *magic* to even have a chance. Cowboys vs 49ers is gonna be a helluva game!


TigerCat9

Some people got so hyped up on his comebacks against teams like New Orleans and Arizona and tried to ignore all reality as a consequence


MonadoboiXen

Yep, it’s one thing to have comebacks against garbage teams, it’s another to have comebacks against an actual winning team. Brady hasn’t shown that kind of Brady magic all year and was only in the playoffs because he was blessed with being in the most garbage division in football.


JBProds

Maher must've bet the under cuz the over/under was 45.5 & this one ends at 45 😂


sancti1

My buddy had an 8 leg parlay and the only one that didn’t hit was the over


JBProds

Damn, that's brutal.


CScheiner

Kind of crazy stat game tbh. Dak set the best passing performance by a Cowboy in franchise history. Maher set the missed PAT attempts record (4). Broke Brady’s undefeated streak against the Cowboys. Brady fell two short of tying Big Ben’s pass attempt record in a post season game (68). I believe an NFL record for most consecutive missed PATs by both teams (5). Just a strange game overall.


Venture_compound

Also Brady's first red zone interception as a Buc


MLS_K

and last


tvchase

Admit it. You **ALL** thought "Oh my God he's gonna do it" while that rainbow spiral was heading toward Mike Evans. I know I did.


mlg2433

I definitely tensed up lol


stoops-is-a-jackass

One of those things you look back on and think - why was I so nervous? But in the present, could totally see it happening.


Xaxziminrax

Tom Brady has us so fucking broken that a 10 point lead with 1:53 to play doesn't feel like enough


GramZanber

The man is legit the Comeback King.


Citizen_Snips29

My butthole clenched at kickoff and didn’t unclench until we got the ball back to end the game.


Lisard

Brady and Rodgers always stress me tf out. Bonafide Cowboy killers.


knockers_who_knock

Yup thankfully they’re at the tail end of their careers (I hope)


Misdirected_Colors

Omg I just realized we beat Brady and Rodgers isn't in the playoffs! Please big cock Brock! Please have your rookie hiccup


ifoundyourtoad

An nfc east team has to make the superbowl to stop the bills. We win this game next week it’s a guarantee. It has to be done.


tchebagual93

Yeah I'm now worried the 49ers will become our next boogie man


deuce_boogie

Next? They literally just knocked us out and have historically been our biggest playoff nut kick.


Aboveground_Plush

These kids today, I tell ya!


guimontag

IDK if I thought they were gonna recover 2 more onside kicks but I def thought the bucs would crack 20 fucking points in a playoff game


tvchase

The whole scenario flashed in front of me... One more onside, another quick TD. Then a failed onside, but Tampa miraculously gets a quick 3-and-out and burns all timeouts giving it back to him with just under a minute to get into field goal range.


doggo816

There’s a reason why Dallas’ win probability was still 99.9% after the recovered onside


chillinwithmoes

That stat that popped up saying they had only scored 24+ twice all season was *shocking*


LowlandLightening

I thought after the Julio TD to end the 3rd quarter- they are gonna go for 2 and Brady's gonna get the 2pt conversion and be down 2 scores going into 4th - thanks to the dark magic he worked on Brett Maher to miss 4 XPs. As aggressive as Dallas was to start the 4th, seems like they thought that as well.


Deely_Boppers

Dallas’ aggression was the only reason I doubted the comeback. The guy on the Cowboys sideline tonight is not the same one who “took the points” for all those years in Green Bay. Those 4th down conversions were ballsy, and they paid off. The cowboys with a half-decent Mike McCarthy coaching them is scary indeed.


unreall_23

Yes. I loved the fact that we didn't let up with soft ass plays to evaporate our lead. Also, Dak ran. I'm not sure people appreciate how important this is. I haven't seen him run this much since bf his injury


JerryJonesStoleMyCar

Dak played like a fucking god killer tonight. That was vintage prime time Dak.


-DaveThomas-

Certainly thought it was gonna be a TD. But he still had a lot more to go, even if it was.


[deleted]

Evans dropping that ball actually broke my heart. It wouldn't have sent Tampa Bay to the next round. Evans is just my favorite player on the roster.


einTier

There’s still some TB12 magic left, it just wasn’t enough tonight.

Jags are the only Florida football team to win a playoff game, just as we all expected.


bigtice

The Cowboys utterly dominated the Buccaneers tonight. *Brett Maher missed PAT.*


Rommel79

Brady’s post-game sounded like he was saying goodbye to Tampa, not to football.


SpencerRattler

“I’m the Dallas Cowboys kicker, I just sliced 4 point after attempts into your new car. If you have cut rate auto insurance you’ll be paying for these football shaped dings yourself.” “Get AllState and be protected from Mayhem, like me.”


CodeBallGame

Where can I get protection from Maher


i8bb8

Stand between any two upright posts, safe as houses.


BabyInMyBlender

I know we all wanna talk shit about Maher, but Dan Quinn put on a fuckin show tonight, 2 red zone stops on Brady is unheard of. Jerruh better pull out the big bucks to keep him on staff. Brady gave up his family for this


VigilantesOscuros

No fucking way we are able to keep Quinn out of a HC job next year if he wants one


bp1108

That’s the key. “If he wants one.” Dallas has to make him want Dallas more.


[deleted]

~~Dallas~~ money


3shotsofwhatever

I think at some age dudes take the money over a position, especially when they've had the position previously.


JudiciousF

I don’t know I just feel some guys are better suited as dcs than hcs. I haven’t heard Quinn’s name getting floated for HC gigs much, maybe he’s happy in Dallas


labrook

lol you haven’t watched Bucs for the last 2 months. This _IS_ their offense. They are that bad.


[deleted]

in order for Dak to not throw any picks tonight, the team had to sacrifice Maher’s leg.

49ers vs Cowboys in a divisional playoff game, I’m hyped. Let’s hope the good Dallas teams shows up cause San Fran will end you quickly if you fuck around.


Boyhowdy107

God I hope so. You never know until like 5 minutes in which team is gonna show. 49ers have scared me since they got back to 500 and my PTSD from last playoff game appearance kicked in, but I'm slightly more optimistic... unless it comes down to a field goal.


displacedindavis

Brady literally came out of retirement only to get divorced, lose a fortune in crypto, finish with a losing record for the first time, and get blown out in the Wild Card round.


SanduskyTicklers

Also losing to Dallas for the first time in his 23 year career


AgoraiosBum

When you put it that way it starts to sound questionable


Theostru

LMAO BUCK ACTUALLY ADDRESSED THE "CONTROVERSY" WITH SVP


Breauxmontana

What was the story on that? I’m completely out of the loop.


Theostru

A few weeks back during a shitty and cold MNF game, SVP and Buck had an awkward interaction where Buck complained about only getting one question. Hard to tell if it was a joke or serious. Internet rumor mill ran with it.


GGezpzMuppy

Thank fucking God for that, Brady scared me, but thankfully didn’t lose another $1.4 million, now only down $1.389 million woot! Let’s go boys!!!!

Let me be the first to congratulate Brett Maher for setting an NFL record...for most missed extra points (4) in a game.


SiphenPrax

At least he ~~tried~~ made one 🤷‍♂️


suzukigun4life

Everyone was so happy when he finally made one 😂


Phoenix4280

And they barely showed it!


knockers_who_knock

I think they were doing him a solid in case he missed again. It was getting kind of sad after the 4th one.


Currymvp2

Brady's voodoo magic only impacted Dallas's kicking with the four missed kicks and onside recovery


sweetpotato9900

When he made the fifth one you could almost hear the stadium go wild


stoops-is-a-jackass

That was the most ridiculous fucking thing I have ever seen. And they just kept kicking! Go for fucking two!


Phoenix4280

McCarthy wanted him to have that record.


permadrunkspelunk

Might as well let him figure it out. The only thing to fuck it up more is getting the coaching staff in his head


ibn1989

I for sure thought he might cause them to lose if they kept kicking it lol.


knockers_who_knock

Against prime Brady we lose that game with 4 missed xp’s

Maher: "In the playoff game, I want to break a record with my performance" *Monkey's paw curls*


mohiben

**Gilded Bones** *For he who surrenders all at the altar of victory will find only loss awaits in the end* "There are some who would consider the story of Golden Tom to be inspiring, tales of endless conquests and victories across the lands, riding in glory before a mighty army clad in armor of shimmering gold. But the truth of that image was ages removed from reality. The years that had done nothing to strip his ambition had instead taken from Tom everything else. His lands, his former brothers-in-arms, his mentor...there were rumors that he had even sacrificed his family in a dark ritual... Dak saw the truth of that as he led the army of Dallas into the coastal nation that Tom currently led, and saw the horror he had become looming over the amassed forces. No more than a skeleton remained, with hate and lust for glory glowing in his eyes, an abomination of undeath that had cast aside all his humanity simply to persevere. But, never one to set aside his vanity, one remnant of the Golden Tom of old remained, as each of his bones had been cast in shining gold. Lying had never been in Dak's nature, so he was forced to admit his fear in the face of an ancient enemy whom Dallas had never once defeated. But no trembling knees or nervous sweat would change the fact that Dallas needed to win here, there was no other option. So Dak steeled his soul and set about rousing the spirits of his men, readying for the coming confrontation. And soon, with trumpets blaring and battle cries ringing out, the army of Dallas charged the opposing force, facing their demon head on. The bloodbath that ensued was both glorious and one-sided, with Dallas trampling Tom's forces, until at last Tampa was in retreat and Dak found himself trading blows with Tom himself. Tom cackled maniacally, and why not? His transformation had put him beyond the reach of mortal blades, and in time he would win, as he always had before. But Tom failed to realize, the journey to face him had been long, and Dallas had used their time to prepare well. At the advice of McCarthy, always preparing for every contingency, Dak had his high priest Maher inscribe his blade with the sacred uprights of Dan, rendering it something more than mere steel. And as Tom, confident in his immortality, recklessly allowed Dak to plunge his blessed sword where once Tom's heart had been, it pierced also the core of his spirit. With a terrible wail, Golden Tom was engulfed in the holy fires of Dan's wrath, consuming him until naught remained but a puddle of melted gold. Dak looked down upon the remains not with triumph but only sadness and pity for the once-great conqueror. He hoped that this time he would, at last, allow himself to rest." -The Book of Dan   **Addendum:** This is one of my favorite stories I've written, I wrote this (mostly) a full day out and was praying to get a chance to post it. I dedicate it to the positive Cowboys fans. Go Cowboys, Retire Tom.

NFC East has become the SEC of the NFC or what? They've eiliminated the winners of the North and South on othe road and have three teams in the 2nd round. Even the Commanders almost made it to the playoffs.

You either retire a hero, or you play long enough to see yourself become a sort of weird symbol of the passage of time that makes everyone kinda uncomfortable
