And just like that, the New England Patriots’ Bill Belichick-Tom Brady dynasty was no more. Brady’s recent signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers brings an era in New England to an end. It also begins what could be an exciting chapter in Tampa.

Brady is the owner of six Super Bowl rings. Remember, those are given to winners. Is it possible that Brady can guide the Buccaneers to Super Bowl LV? Anything is possible.

Remember the 49ers?

In 2018, San Francisco finished the regular season 4-12. A year later, they went 13-3, won the NFC West Division title for the first time since 2012, and played in the Super Bowl. The Bucs went a respectable 7-9 in head coach Bruce Arians first season in Tampa.

Kyle Shanahan is now 0-2 in the Super Bowl. That’s not unheard of. Heck, the Bills lost 4 Super Bowls in a row! But to lose two times in only what can be described as collapses…it makes it feel like more than just 2 losses. Teams losing the Super Bowl have not had great success the following season. Ironically the Falcons have never been the same after their historic collapse to the Patriots. The Panthers haven’t recovered from losing against Denver. The Rams didn’t even make the playoffs this past year after making the Super Bowl the previous season.
