That the Buccaneers were unable to hopscotch from a 27-3 deficit to a 27-27 tie to a 33-27 or 30-27 victory is truly crushing only if you’re a Bucs fan. (And, please, hold off with the boohooing about Pats fans being spoiled, their team had already won four Super Bowls this century up to that point, etc.)įor an hour or two Sunday against the Rams, Brady looked like he was re-creating his Super Bowl LI miracle comeback against the Falcons. Had it been the Falcons who prevailed in overtime in Super Bowl LI, this after New England had turned a 28-3 deficit into a 28-28 deadlock, it would have been a crushing blow for Pats fans. And true, at the end of the day, Brady is a Buccaneer. True, a divisional-round playoff game isn’t the same as the Super Bowl. And 28-3 was such a thrilling, heart-pounding comeback that the only real bummer for those who enjoyed the outcome is that they went to bed that night knowing they’d never see anything like it again. Yes, all Pats fans, deep down, whether they’d admit it not, were rooting for Brady to lead Bucs to victory, if only because 27-3 allowed them to live 28-3 all over again. Jessup? Yes, here it is: “You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties …” That’s why all Pats fans, and I mean all Pats fans … wait, what’s that line from “A Few Good Men” spoken by Jack Nicholson’s Col. It was the biggest comeback victory in all of sports history, at least in North America.Īnd any rational Pats fan, or casual fan, or friend of that casual fan, or the person who dropped off linen at the Gaard Motel, will forever be happy to revisit that magical day. This is because the Patriots’ second-half demolition of the Atlanta Falcons five years ago in Super Bowl LI wasn’t just the biggest comeback victory in Boston sports history. Even if you’re just a casual Patriots fan, even if you’re merely the friend of a casual Patriots fan, even if the closest you’ve ever been to the Patriots is that you once drove past Gillette Stadium while dropping off fresh linen at the Gaard Motel on Route 1, you’re familiar with 28-3. If you’re a Patriots fan, 27-3 is too close to 28-3 not to see the similarities. had tied it up? While it’s true the Rams did plenty wrong to allow the Bucs back into the game, the choice narrative is to go with Brady turning a 27-3 deficit into a 27-27 tie, right? This is based on a survey that was decidedly unscientific: I spoke with a bunch of Pats fans who wanted to see Brady win, and I spoke to a bunch of Pats fans who wanted to see him lose - and to lose horribly and embarrassingly, with a slight limp and a pained expression as he left the field.īut what are Pats fans to make of what happened Sunday night at Raymond James Stadium, with the Bucs suffering an excruciating 30-27 divisional-round loss to the Los Angeles Rams just seconds after Brady & Co.
