Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are once again playing a primetime game and once again they are struggling to play anything that comes close to resembling good football.
Brady and the Bucs went into halftime tied with the Arizona Cardinals at 6-6, which tells you everything you need to know about how the Bucs are playing.
The GOAT has thrown for just 91 yards in a little over two quarters. He has no TDs and one interception. That’s not great at all, especially with the Bucs fighting for their playoff lives against a Cardinals team that is beat up and has a QB, Trace McSorley, who is making his first NFL start.
After one bad play by Brady, NBC’s Cris Collinsworth was at a loss for words while trying to figure out what the heck was going on with No. 12:
Cris Collinsworth not sure what he's seeing out of Tom Brady: "I got nothing. I mean, this is a layup. This is like watching LeBron James miss a layup right here…I don't know what I'm watching." pic.twitter.com/xve9cTSteY

Brady could very well pull a Brady down the stretch and lead the Bucs to a win but it’s been an ugly performance so far.
UPDATE: Brady pulled a Brady and led the Bucs to a 19-16 overtime win. Because of course.
NFL fans had reactions to Collinsworth’s take on Brady, as well on just how poorly Brady and the Bucs are playing.
Shoulda quit hahaha https://t.co/KxP94lwPwH

Never pulled for any team he played for but he’s a GOAT. Played one year too long. He’s not the first…won’t be the last.
