Then listening to Brady blame ____________ for the loss.

What are the odds he would blame modern medicine?

Then listening to Brady blame ____________ for the loss.

Does Brady have a history of blaming others for losses? Video of him postgame in a loss makes him come off as a sore loser, but I don't recall there being a narrative of him throwing people under the bus (other than maybe himself) for losses. Maybe I just don't pay enough attention.

Got some links? I don't recall him saying "BB fucked it up today" or "Not sure why the fuck Julian's bitch-ass dropped that pass". Searching "Tom Brady Excuses for Losses" didn't come up with anything along those lines, but I didn't click too deep.

Bruce Arians has been tossed under the bus for every Brady poor performance this season

Sorry I dont save links. Dont really care enough to go hunt them dont to prove anything either. But if you are gonna go look. You shouldnt have to go all the way back to the Pats. You could probably stick with just this year. just look when he hasnt done well.
if he plays well & loses everyone else blames whomever for him. he doesnt have to play the blame game.

By Brady?

Seriously asking... I can't think of a Brady presser or soundbite where I thought he was making excuses, but I don't pay too much attention to him/them/Pats, so I could easily be wrong. I do recall a presser/sound-bite from Arians more or less throwing Brady under the bus earlier this year (probably rightly, but maybe shouldn't do stuff like that publicly).

"Everyone else" is not Brady

"Everyone else" is not Brady

right. when "he" doesnt play well & loses is when he blames OL coaches scheme whatever.
When he does play well but loses he doesnt blame others. Since it obviously wasnt his fault.

I really don't want to white-knight for Brady, and we're going in circles here, but does "he" really do that? Again... don't think I've ever seen that sort of thing directly from Brady.

no he doesnt
now fans do this for all their heros but if a player did this nobody would want to play with him

Its pretty crazy that while a lot of people are penciling in the Bills into the AFC Championship Game you see that their 2-7 matchup is against a Colts team that might actually give a pretty good ball game. Colts are one of the teams that has feasted on weaker competition which is why it probably lost every single tie breaker but they're also a team that does nothing poorly and if one phase of the Bills' game is off then they'll take advantage.

I do expect the Bills to win but I wouldn't be shocked if it was a one score game. Rivers tends to shell up in playoff games and does a lot of low risk stuff. Past 4 playoff games he has 6 Tds and 1 Int. Colts defense is competent. I think they'll try to keep the score low. Bills probably want to make this a high scoring game and could easily do so. If the Bills get to 27 or so then I don't see the Colts keeping up so this is kind of a Josh Allen showcase game. He wants to be in the top tier of QBs then this is where you start.
