Default One constant in the Not For Long league: Brady-Belichick

Bill has been a little more talkative than usual this week. Great stuff. I love that neither will comment on whether they are friends...their jobs preclude thinking, let alone aloud, in those terms, until their time as a Coach and QB duo for the ages is over. 171 games and counting tomorrow. Would have bested the championshipless Marino-Shula duo already if not for the ACL. Will achieve that milestone next season. Have already won more games together than any duo. And have been oh so close on championships.

Being a long time Patriots fan, it has been like winning the lottery. We are so lucky to have these two. Here's to many more years to come!

I always wondered if Tom ever resented Bill's poor defense since the Super Bowl winning years.

It's entirely reasonable for him to think his own personal efforts deserve an extra ring or three

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.

But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.

I'm as big of a Brady fanboy as there is, but if Tom resents Bill for not having a good defense since 2004, he's a real hypocrite, considering the rings he did win were greatly aided by stellar defensive play.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had his private moments. But he's too smart to dwell on them. That 2007 defense was still good enough to win with. Just made a couple of mistakes or missed a couple of opportunities after holding Eli at bay all night. I think Asante was already daydreaming about all the love he was going to get as a FA in Honalulu. And a couple of vets were already dreaming of the new ring being the frosting on Junior's retirement cake. The offense also had it's uncharacteristic struggles throughout in both of those losses though and I doubt Brady wasn't at least as focused on that disappointment as any other. He gets it's a complimentary team game. Has been since the day he arrived. He's never been asked for or done it all on his own. Heck, Bingo and Adam did as much playing on ST as anyone in 2001. And Tom's OL and WR's performances and lack of a functional let alone significant ground game did as much to cost us the Giants games.

Brady has three Superbowl rings and millions upon millions if dollars. I'm sure he's doing okay.

Can anyone of us imagine TB ever playing for another team like Peyton Manning at Denver? I would say no but in the NFL you never know. If, say, in three years time a 'Luck-like' QB was available would BB take the plunge and 'retire' TB?

Lets hope we never have to find out and that the duo can end it all with at least four rings.

We're the reigning SB champions now if Brady throws a better pass to Welker.

Not to mention in the two SB losses we allowed a total of 38 points - 19 a game.

You should find something more legitimate to wonder about.

He'd be a fool not to.

I doubt it. TB has been very good over the years. BB has been very good over the years. Neither has been without errors. My suspicion is both men look at their errors (when they do look back at their errors) and wish they would have done something different. I doubt either of them look outside those errors and believe 'if X just would have done Y, I would have had more success'. That just isn't a mark of a champion. Champions don't look around for others to blame -- they look inward. I suspect BB could have won the SB on 2007 and still on occasion thought to himself 'I should have done this better'. I suspect TB the same thing. IMHO this character trait is what helps these two men be the frequent winners that they are....
