Tom Brady threw a perfect deep ball to a wide-open Mike Evans on the third play of the game that wouldve been a 64-yard touchdown pa s if the star receiver hadnt dropped it.No problem? Not this year.Evans miscue set the tone for Tampa Bays to the woeful Carolina Panthers on Sunday. No one player is the sole reason you lose, but that was definitely the biggest reason, Evans said. Id seen the life go out of us and it took me a while to get back playing. We were taught just to play the next play, but it was tough. Wide open, one of the best in the game, Ive got to catch that. Ive got to get that. Its what I wanted, a wide-open look.Aaron Rodgers could relate to Bradys misery.When rookie receiver Romeo Doubs dropped a low pa s that wouldve extended a drive for Green Bay, Rodgers was visibly frustrated and Mike Montgomery Jersey  cursed on his way to the sideline. The Packers only trailed by a field goal and there was plenty of time to rally. Instead, inferior Washington held on for a .I think it takes everybody. It takes everybody around him, Packers coach Matt LaFleur said about getting Rodgers back to his two-time reigning MVP form. Youve got to have the protection in front of you to be able to hold up. Youve got to have the guys making plays, too.Dropped pa ses are part of football. Brady and Rodgers have overcome many mistakes, including plenty of  Kerry Wood Jersey their own, on their way to winning 434 games combined in the regular season and playoffs.But the superstar quarterbacks havent found their magic touch in 2022.Both are off to 3-4 starts. Their combined 6-8 record is the worst for the duo since Rodgers became a starting QB in 2008.The main i sue for Brady and Rodgers is lack of help from teammates and coaches. Injuries have depleted Tampa Bay's offensive line, the Buccaneers have the worst rushing offense in the league and tight end Rob Gronkowski isnt around to help Brady when he needs him most.Predictable playcalling from offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich also has been troubling. Carolinas defense seemed  Steve Cishek Jersey to know what was coming quite often.Theres no doubt the Bucs mi s Bruce Arians leadership.I would not consider a change in coaching but we need to change some of the things were doing, Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said when asked about Leftwichs status. We definitely need to change some of the things were doing and weve been discu sing that. It cant happen overnight, but weve got to do a lot better in what weve been doing as a whole.Brady has a losing record through seven games for the first time since 2002, which was his first full season as a starter and the year after he led New England to the first of his seven Super Bowl titles.Critics are questioning the 45-year-old Bradys commitment because he took 11 days off during training camp and mi sed a walkthrough practice ahead of last weeks  Addison Russell Jersey lo s to Pittsburgh after going to Robert Krafts wedding.Brady misfired on some of his pa ses against the Panthers and wasnt in sync with his receivers. Still, the teams struggles arent his fault.I think executing in practice and doing well builds confidence, Brady said. Then ultimately when youre out in the game, you got to make difficult decisions under pre sure. Were plenty capable of making plays. Were just not making them consistently enough to score points. "Make a big play. Make a bad play. Make a big play. Make a bad play. In football, its just not good enough. You cant play like that. You've got to string enough good plays together to get the ball into the red area and score points. Just havent done that.The Packers have been plagued by injuries and inconsistency  Jose Quintana Jersey on the offensive line. They also havent been able to replace All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams. Outside of (wide receivers Sammy Watkins and Allen Lazard), theres too many mental mistakes, the 38-year-old Rodgers said. I talked about simplification last week. I dont really know where to go when it comes to that. It has to be something inside, but it has the accountability for our performance. "Were just having way too many detailed mistakes. Its just not winning football. It could be the total wrong route. It could be the wrong stem, it could be the release. Were just not good enough to overcome some of those things right now. We have talent on our team for sure, but it has to consistently show up.It's clear Brady and Rodgers cant just show up and win alone. ___ Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter at robmaaddi___More AP NFL coverage: hub/nfl and AP_NFL    in this topic
