Skip Bayless is Sick After the Bucs Lost to the Rams
By Liam McKeone
Sunday afternoon gave us the best playoff game of the NFL postseason so far when Tom Brady led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to an insane 24-point comeback against the Los Angeles Rams. But the Rams managed to emerge victorious, largely due to an all-out blitz by the Bucs with less than 30 seconds left that allowed Matthew Stafford to hit Cooper Kupp way down the field and set up the game-winning field goal.
Skip Bayless, who had a very bad time this time last week watching the Cowboys completely botch the ending of their own playoff matchup against the Niners, did not enjoy the ending to this game, either. The noted Brady fan freaked out on Twitter after Stafford hit Kupp for their game-winning completion, hammering the Bucs' defense for letting down Brady again and wondering why on earth anybody let Kupp get that open.
Here is the tweet that was sent right after the completion.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bayless then got into the specifics and bemoaned the fact that Brady couldn't play defense, sounding a whole lot like Giselle after the quarterback's Super Bowl loss to the Giants in 2011.
HOW DO YOU LET THE NFL'S MOST PRODUCTIVE RECEIVER, THE NFL'S RECEIVING TRIPLE-CROWN WINNER, BEAT YOU WITH TWO HUGE LAST-SECOND CATCHES INCLUDING A BOMB OVER ANTOINE WINFIELD JR THAT SET UP THE WALK-OFF FIELD GOAL? NOT ODELL. NOT HIGBEE OR JEFFERSON. COOPER BLEEPIN' KUPP??????????

THE BUCS DEFENSE NEVER WAS ABLE TO MEASURE UP TO BRADY ALL SEASON LONG. AND JUST WHEN HE HAD ALL-TIMED A COMEBACK FROM 27-3 DOWN TO 27-ALL, THE BUCS D LET HIM DOWN ONCE MORE. TOTAL LAST-SECOND COLLAPSE.

MATT STAFFORD VERY NEARLY FUMBLED THE BALL AWAY ON FIRST DOWN, THEN THE BUCS DB FELL DOWN AND LET KUPP GET OPEN ON 2ND, THEN A SLOT BLITZ LEFT PRO BOWLER WINFIELD ON KUPP, WHO RAN RIGHT BY HIM FOR THE GAME-WINNER. SUCH AN UN-BRADY COLLAPSE BY HIS D - SHADES OF COUNTERFEIT BILL.

BRADY HAD A HOME NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND VERY POSSIBLY AN 8TH SUPER BOWL RIGHT IN HIS GRASP ... AND HIS DEFENSE WRECKED THE FAIRYTALE. JUST SOUL-CRUSHING.

IF ONLY BRADY COULD PLAY DEFENSE.

THE GOAT'S DEFENSE TURNED INTO THE OLD-SCHOOL DEFINITION OF goat of a game - the reason a team lost, the scapegoat.

Belichick's defense cost Brady the first Eli Super Bowl and the Nick Foles Super Bowl - and now the Bucs defense has robbed Brady of yet another all-time great comeback. Just gut-wrenching.

Gut-wrenching indeed. Unless you are one of the millions of people who are sick of seeing Brady win. Then it was a very good day!
