Patriots are already out of the playoffs even with Cam Newton, and somehow the Bucks are still in and looking to proceed from today. The Buccaneers were horrible at the beginning of the season. Looks like the success of the Patriots was more QB than coaching.

No, they were great because of the combination. A lot of players opted out this year for New England especially on defense.

Have you considered all the players that opted out from teh Patriots? If this was a NORMAL season it might have been a fair comparison. However when the Patriots lost a lot of their best to players not wanting to take the risk and the Bucs loading up it's not even a fair comparison.

He handpicked the team with the best pass offense in 2019, the team was already loaded and added Gronkowski. It was the defense that improved from 29nd to 8th in points allowed.

Nope.
That's a pretty loaded team without Brady. #6 defense in the league. #1 vs. the run. The O-line is #4 in sacks allowed. You've got Mike Evans. Antonio Brown, Gronk, Fournette, Jones, McCoy etc.
They nearly made the playoffs last year with Winston throwing two picks a game.
