“I think we've struggled pretty much everything” - Tom Brady concedes on-field issues after Buccaneers' Week 8 defeat to Ravens

For the first time in his career, Tom Brady is two games behind a .500 record. This came into existence after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Baltimore Ravens. Last night, the Buccaneers lost their third straight game and their fourth overall game of the season. The Ravens defeated them 27-22, and Lamar Jackson was the star of the show.

Tom Brady once again had a sub-par game, as he threw 26/44 passes for 325 yards and had a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. The Buccaneers' offense played slightly better, yet they were unable to come away with a win. Following the loss, Brady had some words to say about where the team stands now. Here's what he said:

"I think we've struggled pretty much everything. You know, we're just struggling right areas to win third down. Straw and run game. Two point plays. short yardage, backed up."

He continued:

"I don't think anyone feels good. You know, we're lost four or five. So not where we want to be. But you know, we haven't earned it. And, you know, we gotta go, we gotta go earn it. You know, you gotta go earn it. You got to fight hard. And you gotta go, you know, figure out how to win games."

Tom Brady ended his post-game press conference on a positive note. He said that he and his team will be super locked in to turn things around in their favor going forward:

"I think we're going to try to figure out everything, you know, I think we're gonna try to evaluate, we have a little extra time to see kind of exactly what we're doing and how we can do better moving forward."

Things don't get any easier for Tom Brady and the Bucs, as they will face the Los Angeles Rams in their next game. However, they do have a 10-day break until then, and that gives them a huge opportunity to fix their woes.

Things are not looking good for Tom Brady

Baltimore Ravens v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

If Tampa Bay don't improve quickly, it looks like this season will be the last one for Tom Brady. The 7x Super Bowl champion is regularly putting up empty yards and is not having an influence on the game like he used to.

A large part of it has been due to the injuries suffered by the Buccaneers players, but Brady has looked like a shell of himself as well. With his rumored ongoing rift with wife Gisele Bundchen, Brady needs to make a decision regarding his future quickly.
