The performance of Brady and his team has drawn criticism.

Rex Ryan, who played Brady multiple times while serving as the head coach described the Buccaneers as being slow and dated on ESPN's Get Up.

Brady isn't the only one to blame for Tampa Bay's problems.

The Buccaneers of 2022 don't resemble either the squad from the previous year or the Super Bowl-winning squad from 2020.

This season, the squad is also without receiver Antonio Brown and tight end Rob Gronkowski.
