Unhappy Brady. There's nothing quite as eye-roll-inducing in sports as a protracted discussion of a player's "body language." That said, it didn't take a Ph.D. to see that Brady was not happy in the first half on Sunday, expressing his disgust on the field and then launching a Microsoft Surface Pro on the sideline. Let's put all the off-field gossip talk to the side for now. We've seen "Salty Brady" before, and it typically comes out when his offense is shooting itself in the foot. That happened time and time again in the first half. At halftime, the Buccaneers ran their streak of not scoring a point against the Saints' defense to six quarters and went 23 straight drives versus New Orleans' defense without a touchdown. It was still a 3-0 deficit at the break, just as it was in the Saints' 9-0 victory in Tampa last December. But Brady and the Bucs found a way, breaking out offensively with three major inactives (Julio Jones, Donovan Smith and Chris Godwin), Evans in the locker room and little run-game production to speak of. Brady also was wearing an oversized wrap on his hand, which seemed to bother him early in the game. He might not be quite as dangerous as he was at his peak, but Brady is one of the better win-without-your-best-stuff passers of all time.
