Tom Brady Sr. shows support to Tom Brady amid on-field and off-field struggles
Tom Brady suffered a third straight loss for the first time in two decades against the Baltimore Ravens. Fans remained disappointed with Brady's performance and his decision to unretire. Some think this is the worst Brady has played yet, claiming that he is nowhere close to the player he was.
However, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a 27-22 loss against the Ravens, Tom Brady Sr. was there to support his son.
Respect.

As per reports, Brady's father was present at the Raymond James Stadium. He was shown on the Amazon Prime broadcast, watching from a suite at the stadium.
Despite the loss, his father's could mean a lot to the Buccaneers quarterback.
No sarcasm: Tom Brady Sr. showing to support his son, at 45-yrs-old, mid-divorce, is peak "Your parents will always have your back no matter what."
If you're lucky enough to have mom and dad still around, call them and let them know you love them.
No support like a parent's 🙏
This season has been particularly difficult for Brady, especially with the Buccaneers struggling. Brady has lost three in a row for the first time in 20 years, only proving why this season is not working well for the NFL star.
Off the field, reports are hinting at Brady and Gisele Bundchen divorce. The couple have been together for over a decade. Though Brady is yet to address his marital woes directly, sources close to the pair have claimed their relationship is over as long as he continues to play.
Furthermore, reports state that Bundchen has given Brady an ultimatum. He either retires, or they move on from their marriage.
Is Tom Brady washed? Some fans expressed delight as Bucs went 3-5
The last time Brady missed the playoffs, it was 2008.
Considering the recent games the Buccaneers have played and lost, Tampa Bay might not make it this year. They've struggled against every team, with Brady two games under .500 for the first time in his entire NFL career.
Furthermore, the Buccaneers lost in almost every category against the Ravens. The latter had more total yards (453 to 349) and more plays (74 to 62).
Naturally, fans want to see more out of Brady. Some just want him retired.
Recently, even analyst Mike Florio stated that Brady should retire. This was during the Pro Football Talk, where they discussed the game being too violent for the 45-year-old star.
"The sport is too dangerous. The game is too violent. The players are too big, strong and fast. And Tom Brady's too frickin' old at this point. To view it as quitting, no one's going to call a guy who played past his 45th birthday a quitter."
Brady, however, seems to be looking at anything but retirement.
"No retirement in my future." 😁

As the 2022 season progresses, one will have to see if the Buccaneers eventually perform better.
