Now that is just silly, you cant work from the end back to the start. He shouldnt have won the first 2.
Maybe Tom Brady just showed he was human.
To expect him to continuously perform the way he has been for the last 8 weeks with a relatively young squad is unrealistic.
I think you misunderstood the intent of my post. I'm saying it is crazy for people to think that every playoff loss is a lombardi they should have gotten but was taken out of their hands. Only one of those losses could be described as such, because there was nobody else left to play after the Giants. In every other case you'd have to somehow imagine that they would have automatically played better in the following games, which is way too much of leap in logic.
If the insane metric is that every playoff loss is another ring they lost out on, than Brady has three rings to five "no ring" playoff appearances. Which means he isn't very good, but he also happens to be the least suckiest QB in the league because he has succeed only two times fewer than he has failed.
The above paragraph is how it seems a lot of people think about this stuff when they write these articles. If not for SB42, he'd have as many rings as playoff losses. The last two playoff losses have come down to the fact that the Patriots were not as complete a team as they used to be. As the stats show, trying to ride the QB position to victory for the entire season just doesn't pan out all that much.
