This was always true.
I don't know how anyone could have watched this postseason and come to the conclusion that Brady carried this team. They barely beat a bad Washington team with a QB starting off the street, offense didn't lead a TD drive of longer than 40 yards against the Saints (bolstered by 4 turnovers caused by the defense), and Brady threw 3 second-half INTs against the Packers while the Bucs D held them to only 6 points off said turnovers.
Then add in last night where their defense held our offense to just 9 points total. Brady literally made one good throw all night and that was the TD to Gronk. He faced the least amount of pressure a QB has ever faced in the Super Bowl. He was not impressive, but their defense absolutely was.
