The 2022 NFL season has been a shocker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After Thursday night’s loss, the Bucs slipped to 3-5, their worst start since getting Tom Brady in 2020.
The misfortune of the Bucs brought out plenty of critics.
So what are NFL fans saying about this shocking 3-5 start to the Bucs’ 2022 NFL season?
Twitter Gives Interesting Range Of Reactions
While many saw the NFC East as a dumpster fire each year, it seems the NFC South is taking that title.
Chris Rosvoglou points this out, as he shows every NFC South team is currently under .500
Falcons 3-4
Bucs 3-5
Panthers 2-5
Saints 2-5Someone has to win the NFC South. I just have no clue who it'll be.

While someone has to win, it seems no team in the NFC South wants to win.
One fan makes some comparisons to Patrick Mahomes, saying Brady has no excuses for the 3-5 record.
In 2018, in his first season as a starter, Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to OT in the AFC Championship with the 24th ranked defense.
In 2019, Patrick led the Chiefs to Super Bowl victory with the 23rd ranked rush offense.

However, Brady’s divorce was brought up by one user when talking about the Bucs 3-5 record.
You may think you're taking an L today, but Tom Brady gave up his marriage to Gisele to lead the Bucs to a 3-5 opening to the season.

While some fans weren’t as harsh, others were brutal with how they felt about the 3-5 record.

While the Bucs have lost their way, it seems Brady is the key component of the issues on offense.
However, as the leader, he needs to put aside all the distractions from his life when he goes on the field.
It’s those off-field distractions, along with some mistakes by teammates, that’s hurting the team this season.
If someone doesn’t step up, the Buccaneers’ season might be lost.
While there’s a chance to turn things around, it all starts with the team’s offensive unit.
