Tompa Bay likely to have the easiest matchup, @ NYG/DAL/ or WFT.
Talk about lucky, but I suppose Brady does not want to face the NYG on a playoff game ever again.
He seemed really pissed - more than usual - during the game about that failed challenge.
I don't see why he needs to aggravate himself for the next 3-4 years until Patriots are a decent team again, and that's assuming they won't make any more hire/trade/draft blunders. He probably made some decent money during the golden years, could just go out on top. Unless Bucs get to the Super Bowl, now that would probably light him on fire.
In my opinion this is key, this is for the most part an ego thing, for years casual fans have wondered who was the biggest factor on the NE dynasty, was it Brady? Was it Belichick? Obviously common sense says it was both but casual fans are not happy with that, they want to know the answer to that question, and if Belichick were to retire now we will remember his last season without Brady being a completely disaster on the offensive side of the ball while Brady is doing well at TB, he is not elite but I will put him in the Top 10 QBs on the NFL and most likely he will win a playoff game when facing whoever wins the NFC East, which will switch public opinion on his favour and Belichick does not want that.
