2020 NFL Playoffs NFL

Two turnovers result in touchdowns for the Buccaneers. Costly.

This game could still go either way and it might come down to the defenses making big plays as both offenses don't look like they can shift the ball

 

[Birdman]

I'm only watching this because it is still close and it is painful - neither QB looking anthing other than old.

To be honest, Brees and Brady are probably the two worst QBs that featued this weekend.

 

[Steve]

If the Saints do win, at this rate Brees' arm will probably fall off in the cold in Green Bay!

 

[Birdman]

The Buccaneers take the lead by 3 and I'm going to bed because I'm starting to fall asleep. Gamepass means I can watch the 4th quarter later on today.

 

[Steve]

Brees intercepted again.

I think I can go to bed too now.

Edit

Tom Brady QB sneak for the touchdown.

All 3 Saints turnovers have resulted in touchdowns for the Buccaneers. Game over.

 

[Steve]

Wow. Looking at the stats Brees must have been picked again after I went to bed. Sad way for him to bow out but he definitely looks done.

Can't see the Buccaneers causing too many problems for the Packers next week but they did beat them during the season when their defense gave Aaron Rodgers a difficult very time.

 

[Birdman]

Shame to see Brees going out with so many turnovers but the Buccaneers defense was very good once it got going.

 

[Bandit]

Yeah I agree on Brees. He can no longer throw the ball deep, he is super accurate and an excellent reader of the defense but there is simply no deep threat whatsoever with him

From the second half, the Buccs went with a tight man to man coverage, crowding the line, meaning Brees hold it too long and taking away the run and they had no answers.

Essentially daring them to go deep. So difficult to go on 12 - 15 play drives over and over again against a good defense.

Brady isn't much better but at least they still take deep shots although usually not completing them, they are at least keeping the defense honest. With the Saints they need to bring in the backup if they want to throw deep.

 

[Birdman]

Packers and Chiefs to make it through to the Super Bowl for me.

 

[Birdman]

Beautiful touch on that pass. Great start for the Buccaneers
