Even though several of his teammates had already left for the night, Tom Brady was still dressed in full uniform.
With his arms folded and his face flushed, Brady still very much wore the sting of the Bucs' 27-22 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, which dropped him to 3-5 as a starter for the first time in his illustrious career.
Gabbert sat next to him and gave him words of comfort, while fellow quarterback Ryan Griffin and his coach patted him on the back.
"I'm pretty sure he's really hard on himself," the right tackle said. It's really hard on us. We're going to do everything we can to get this fixed.
Evans said nobody was pointing the finger at Brady. It's a group of people. There is a game. Team game. It isn't just one person. It hasn't been.
The podium was taken by Brady.
He doesn't think you can erase what happened in the last eight weeks. We have to dig deep, see what we are all about, come to work, try to improve, and give ourselves a better chance to win.
This could be his last season in the National Football League, having already retired once for 40 days in the off-season. It's a reality that his teammates are aware of and that makes the losses in 2022 devastating.
He hopes he plays as long as possible. I would love to play with him for the rest of my life. I am a huge fan of Tom. If it is the last year for him, I would like everything to be perfect for him. It's frustrating when things aren't working and you don't know what to do.
Evans said that he was the best to ever do it. He doesn't like to lose. We have to turn it around and get back to being a winning team.
They haven't been able to put points on the board. They scored on the opening drive for the first time all year, and took a 10-3 lead in the first quarter. They didn't score again until 53 seconds remained in the game, when Brady found Jones for an 8-yard touchdown. It was the first touchdown of the season for the pair, with Jones missing the past three games with a knee injury.
According to sources, the team fears that the season will be over for top outside linebackers after he was injured in the second half. After that, the offense couldn't keep up.
Lavonte David has lost games with Brady. He had won a lot of things over his career. The type of guy he is, the type of man he is, the type of football player, the type of leader he is, it's definitely hard. We all feel the same emotions. We have to try to turn this around because we have the men to do it. It needs to come from someplace.
The team is going to have a long weekend to think about changes.
We are going to discuss everything this weekend. Everything is on the table for us when you aren't playing well.
