And the playoffs will still be interesting without the Patriots. With a possible Brees vs Rodgers NFC championship, and Mahomes vs Jackson on the AFC side. I see those two possibilities more interesting than the super bowl itself!

Henry (RB) was a beast! On one scoring drive he accounted for all 75 (or so) yards, including a catch. Still, the Pats' defense only allowed 14 points with the other 6 points coming off that INT. Pats' defense did their job. |

If Brady were to leave NE it would have to be to a team with a great O line.
The thing that seems to go unnoticed is that he rarely gets touched and has lots of time to throw the ball. This has been the case for years. Whether it’s the talent, player development or scheme, the line play at NE would make an average QB look good. New England fans may not agree, but watch some tape.

You can claim not to be a Patriots hater all you want, but your past posts say otherwise. Good for you that it seems like you’re finally going to get to enjoy a NFL post season. |

OTOH, if McDaniels leaves to be a head coach, I have trouble seeing Brady getting started with a new coordinator. Unless it's someone already in the organization who keeps the system pretty much intact. Or if Belicheck plays that role more actively for another couple years. -Ray

Yes because all it takes to be a great QB is to throw the ball. Brady has always been a pocket passer, he couldn’t run even when he was young. He is great because of his pre-snap wits, and his ability to carry an average team all the way. It’s been quite a few years where the Pats are less than great, yet they’re always super bowl contenders. That’s the Brady-Belichick magic right there. You don’t make it to the Super bowl 3 years in a row and win two if your QB is just “average” unless he’s well protected by his o-line. |

A lot of people think Brady isn't great and it's all the system. That is complete nonsense. If you watch him over the years, his decision making, pocket presence, accurate throws, and performance under pressure is absolutely elite in any system. Now, the question is has he really lost something, or was it just not having confidence in his receivers that caused him to be a little off. I honestly think it was more of the latter. When the receivers uncovered and where they were supposed to be, he was hitting them consistently all year. It just didn't happen much. He probably has lost a little bit though due to age too.

Exciting Saints-Viking game with Vikings practically shutting the Saints down in their own house for first three quarters. Saints showed no semblance of their typical offensive game until the 4th quarter but they couldn’t bring home the bacon for the 3rd year in a row. The Brees fumble when they were on the Vikings 20 yard line with less than 5 minutes to play hurt! I really believed this was going to be their year. Sigh......

I chuckled during yesterday’s game watching Belichicks reaction. The irony...eludes.

Jeez, the Eagles were a long shot anyway. With Wentz out with what sounds like a concussion, fergetaboutit. Oh well...
My villain teams (Cowboys, Patriots, Saints) are all off playing golf now, so I’ll be cool with just watching some good football and being happy for whoever wins. I pretty much like every team left in it... -Ray

Must’ve been frustrating for him that even Edelman was dropping passes. And Sanu has shown great potential but I can tell that Brady has yet to truly trust him. He needs another Gronk that’s for sure. The whole team was off, it’s not fair to put it all on Brady. But that’s how it is, the QB takes most of the glory, but also takes most of the blame when things don’t go well. |
