After Stafford fumbled and they had to use their last timeout, I thought they might take a knee.

To steal a line from Jack Buck, I don’t believe what I just saw.

At home
Brady leads his team on a last minute TD drive, and the D can't stop the opponent from driving to a win. Seems as though I might have seen that a few times before.

Kupp getting out of bounds was like when Troy Brown got out of bounds in the Super Bowl.

Also converting on second down was big. If it went to third down I bet McVay runs the clock out to avoid having to punt.

Right. I don't get why everyone is shitting on them for *that.* It was the game-deciding 4th and 1.
And then McVay pulled a Belichick and let the Bucs score quickly? Or at least gambled either on preventing a first, or let them score?

Since with a first down from the 8, no way you are stopping them. So buy yourself some extra time, and let them tie.

Brady should be considered the GOAT strictly based on winning a super bowl on an Arians coached team

They played for an inside run or sneak, and the Bucs caught them on an outside run where Fournette had one much smaller defender to work through.

You can’t clamp on everything in those fourth and short situations

This has been the best divisional weekend in a long time with 3 games decided by game winning FGs

Wow, what I game. I tuned in to cheer for Brady and Gronk, maybe for one last time, and I was disappointed through 3 quarters. That 4th quarter, though, man that was nuts.

This was also my first time watching a classic Brady come back as a unbiased spectator. I'm glad to see him orchestrate that comeback but not really upset they lost it in the end. Interesting feeling.
