During the first half of Super Bowl LII, the Patriots ran a trick play that included Danny Amendola throwing a pass to Tom Brady. While the 40-year old quarterback was wide open, he couldn’t manage to pull in the well-thrown pass from Amendola.

As expected, the internet laid into Tom Brady for fucking up a routine pass. Here are some of the best responses to The GOAT’s butterfingers moment:

Of course, things only got worse when the Eagles ran a trick play on 4th down that included Foles catching a touchdown pass.

That’s how you catch the ball Brady

Nick Foles – 1 catch for a touchdown
Tom Brady – 1 very dramatic drop— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) February 5, 2018
And because it’s not the end of the world… Skip Bayless tweeted some real bullshit:
Nick Foles caught his pass because it hit him right in the hands. Brady didn't catch his because it was an overthrow.

Tom Brady being outplayed as a wide receiver by Nick Foles, just as we all expected for Super Bowl LII.
