I don't think there is enough time left in Bradys career to have him even come close to Montana in terms of playoff performances.

At best Brady will be 2nd best in history but the others like Aikman and Bradshaw are closing the gap.

I think your suffering from selective memory. Montana had a stretch in the middle of his career where he was god awful in the playoffs, I looked it up once and passer ratings were 40-60's. Worse than Brady's current stretch

I'm not asking to win on defence alone. I'm asking to not have to win on offense alone. Look at the defences that played today. The two best defences in the league are going to the Superbowl, no accident. No accident that they have elite QB's too. My point is that we need more than an elite QB because sometimes, especially this time of year, you have to win a game 20-17.

Montana also had 3 straight one and out's before winning back to back in '89 and '90.

To me, it seems like the pats have not made halftime adjustments the last few years the way they used to when crennel and weis were here. Nowadays, it seems like if they are off, they are off for the entire game. Didn't used to be like that

The huge Snot-Bomb was like watching Tom Brady give birth to another Antonio Cromartie, but with a higher IQ.

The giant Snot-Bomb is really the answer to this thread. If you go frame-by-frame, sorta like the Zapruder film, what you see is part of Tom Brady's brain exiting his nostril and hitting the card on his forearm with all the good plays on it.

Brady spent the entire game calling plays like "Zebra-Left-38-Snot-Bomb-On-One." Confused, everybody just went long and Brady got sacked. Bummer.

Maybe next year, they'll get him a hankie.
