Tom Brady is facing the inevitable after suffering the ultimate embarrassment in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defeat against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Brady and the Buccaneers offense were poor throughout as the Bucs were kicked out of the Play-Offs.
Brady, 45, has managed to stave off Father Time for years now, having continuously battled against suggestions he should retire. But on Monday night, he had no answer for the Cowboys and was unable to produce one last hurrah. Brady's first half shutout was his first in a Play-Off game since his first post-season appearance in 2001.
The Cowboys, and in particular Micah Parsons, were too strong for him, and his Buccaneers offence was simply too weak and impotent, and despite his best efforts, Brady was unable to conjure up the magic required to take the Bucs to the Divisional round.
