Same reason Colts fans would. I am a fan of the game. If I perceive teams to be cheating, I dislike them. I stopped watching the NBA because it seemed that some games were rigged.

 

I have rooted against Brady since the Tuck Rule game. It did not seem like a fair rule. 

 

Colts fans disliked him way before there were any signs of "cheating". 

 

Brady was being lauded as one of the best when he really was not playing like the best. The narrative was a travesty; it really is not anymore. 

 

And, of course, because of the crushing losses to the Pats. 

 

Pats vs Falcons Super Bowl is when I truly stopped hating Brady. 

 

The deflated footballs are not a big deal. He paid for it and he is still good without alleged deflated footballs. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Quick throws guys.. good lord

[Gramz]

Battle of the Defense

[Tsarquise]

This game is wild. Brady now throwing picks, and Tampa's D has now awakened. So weird.

You asked me why would a Vikings fan dislike Brady. I answered the question.

Can't block that defensive line that brady plays DE for..

If the Bucs do win, Brady will get defensive player of the game according to the media 

[holeymoley99]

No holding ? We saw 2 on the screen at same time....but its all innocent mistakes.....even announcers arent holding back...good

[NFLfan]

I like this game because the officials are not stopping the game every few minutes to announce a penalty. 

[GoColts8818]

Packers need to stop trying to get it on one play.  I’ve watched enough Brady games to know this is where the knock out punch comes.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Do either of these teams have a running game or short passing game. It all no risk it no biscuit. Lol

[Chrisaaron1023]

Maybe the Packers can get good FP on a turnover?

They need to throw flags if there are penalties otherwise why are they there?

 

Not blaming them for the score the Packers have had their chances.

[SR711]

How many quarterbacks have the “luxury” of throwing three picks in a half of a playoff game, and have their D force 3 and outs on two of those?

 

This why I get tired if the undisputed GOAT narrative surrounding Brady: the media lauds because he just wins without delving into those factors that aid in those victories.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Gotta sack brady..

You answered with "the same reason a Colts fan would". And then mentioned "cheating" as if that is the sole reason a Colts fan would. Maybe I mistook it.

As long as they are calling it the same on both sides I think it’s fine. Let them play.

 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Good lord.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Gronk lol. This is where Brady is going to end it.

Idk how many but Manning had that luxury against the Chiefs in the 06 wild card. 

 

Brady also got steam rolled against the Ravens in the Wildcard in the 09 wildcard after throwing numerous picks. 

 

Also, all picks are not equal. Brady's picks have been deep in Packers territory. 

[GoColts8818]

The Packers offensive game plan has been awful today.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Brady has been the luckiest QB Ever. Two easy games to get to this one. That Tampa defense is so good.

[ColtStrong2013]

I’ve seen more ignored calls on big Bucs plays to know where this is heading.

 

ignored hands to the face from a bucs defender on the same play they ignored the defensive holding to force 4th down. Just ignored a blatant block in the back right in front of the official, on the defender that would have made the stop. 
 

really poor officiating tonight, and it’s unfortunate 

[GoColts8818]

And that’s why you don’t go for two early in the game.

It’s been very bad. Now that two point attempt might bite them.

[Chrisaaron1023]

Good Kicker.. well dang

[GoColts8818]

Okay pack you don’t have to get it all in one play

It's obvious, no one can honestly deny it at this point

[Chrisaaron1023]

Sack sack sack

[Fluke_33]

Last I'll make, refs alter outcomes with blown calls and that one was obvious and changed game.....we can go back to the 1972 Olympics basketball...if U.S.A. played better defense on each of the added time restarts they win....both restarts were asinine...Russia got Gold...U.S. refused silver.....team A sometimes needs all it can muster to beat team B..ALL they can muster. Than bad call changes result and they dont deserve to win......that argument cant ever ever be allowed to go unchecked......

1972 Olympics? 

[GoColts8818]

Hey you don’t try to throw a TD on first down and you don’t get sacked and get a good play.  Who knew?

They just gotta make sure they tie..

And he won the game and next one against Baltimore, but as I felt at the time those were probably the two of the worst playoff games Manning had under center in the playoffs with Indy.

 

Again, this is why it is extremely nonsensical IMO to base judgements of individual greatness solely on team accomplishments.
