Favorite Brady, Belichick, and Patriots Stats and Records

This must be some kind of terrific football team that played an outstanding SB with a great QB.

That's right it is, was, will always be
the best for me anyway.

Some outstanding statistics.

What a team.

• The Patriots’ offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, prepared a game-winning plan that included pre-snap shifts and motions, to quickly decipher pressures points and man-coverage, and align Brady with slot receivers, tight ends and running backs. Using the width of the field to spread out Seattle’s defense, Brady skillfully moved these chess pieces into play, and delivered an assortment of quick, perfectly timed throws. Though he committed two interceptions, Brady completed 37 of his 50 passes (74 percent completion rate) for a total of 328 yards and four passing touchdowns. This was the first time all season that the Seattle defense allowed four passing touchdowns in a single game and surrendered over 300 passing yards from an opposing team.

This is ridiculous and we got so lucky. We need every tall WR in the draft and just throw bombs on every play. That's the only way to win football games. Don't people get that?

You think outside, vertical-threat receivers are overrated?

There are many who believe that large, fast receivers are over-compensated and are not necessary for an effective offense. They site the fact that most superbowl winners lack the prototypical large, fast, outside receiver.

For this offense, yes. People still masterbate at every next Randy Moss comparison. We got a once-in-generation guy at the right moment. It most likely won't happen again.

We have the best TE and the best slot receiver in the NFL and some great complimentary pieces. Bombs away happened in 2007. That was 8 years ago. Get over it people.

I know the Pats already have a lot of good weapons on offense, but I think a deep-threat receiver could go a long way in stretching the field even further; not to mention it would be an utter nightmare for defenses to try to cover slot receivers, tight ends, pass-catching running backs, AND outside wideouts. That would be insane!!

I think Belichick might have already found a solution to the price tag question: Draft good talent, and develop them in-camp. We still have Aaron Dobson and Brian Tyms under rookie contracts. Granted, I don't expect Randy Moss numbers from them, but we'll see if they're made of the right stuff next season. Can't wait.

The Patriots are 4-1 in playoff games when Brady passes the ball 50+ times. There are 30 other instances of this happening. Those teams are 3-27.

And yet there was still a very loud and very vocal minority here that wanted the Pats to run the ball more... against excellent defensive fronts no less.

I don't think there's anyone who doesn't think that an elite outside receiver isn't beneficial to an offense. I think that the argument is that they are generally over compensated for what they bring to the table. Elite WR tend to be more beneficial for selling tickets and PSLs than for winning superbowls.

Finding one for short money is a goal of every GM. Given the high degree of difficulty for receivers to get on Brady's page, it's probably difficult for BB to justify spending too much cap space or draft capital on an elite receiver that isn't proven in the system. Hopefully one of the noobs will pan out.

I definately miss that. Problem is there are no Randy Moss-esque guys out there. Also, I'd like it if people would stop underestimating Brandon Lafell. He has a full year under his belt with Tom after grabbing 74 receptions, 953 yards and 7 TD's last year and he turns 29 in November with a contract that makes him a steal at this point.

We HAVE a solid outside WR who's proven to be productive. Bill kicked the tires on Hartline and Johnson. So what? There's only 1 football on the field. You can't (shouldn't)throw the ball to outside WR's on every down when you have the best slot receiver and the best TE in the NFL and the misdirection need of screens to the RB's along with a good running game to keep the opposing defense off-balance and guessing.

Since the AFL-NFL merger, playoff victories:

1. Cowboy QBs, 33
2. Steelers QBs, 33
3. 49ers QBs, 30
4. Raiders QBs, 22
5. Tom Brady, 21

same basic info from a different angle:

Tom Brady has more playoff wins than do 27 NFL franchises, over the entire Super Bowl era.

Four SB titles trumps everything, but I'll repeat my favorite stat ever for the Brady-Belichick era:

Since Dec. 24, 2000, the Patriots have been still in contention for a championship at the start of every game they've played.

That is the most amazing statistic I have ever seen.

I looked back at 2002 when they went 9-7 and finished an awful season beset by injuries, and they won their last regular season game against the Dolphins to go 9-7 but were knocked out of the playoffs hours later when the Jets won to also go 9-7 and win the AFC East on a tiebreaker. Just amazing.

We are the luckiest fans in the NFL.

The more I look into Super XLIX, the more I begin to believe, that no one else could've won this game the way the Patriots did:

• Only ten times in Super Bowl history has the winning team thrown the most passes. In Super Bowl XLIX, Brady set the record for the most passing attempts by a winning Super Bowl quarterback with 50. Jim Kelly (twice), Donovan McNabb, and Dan Marino had all thrown 50 passes in losing efforts.
• Super Bowl XLIX was also unusual as Brady’s passes were unusually short for a winning team. There have been 88 quarterbacks to play in the Super Bowl. Only six of those had a shorter mark than Brady’s 8.86 yards per completion. All of those quarterbacks lost—including Peyton Manning.

There goes Brady again, always playing on the edge of history

Hey guys, you'll love this one

Just an incredible stat. Incredible. Brady has a .750 record throwing 50 times in a playoff game, and the rest of the QBs have a .125 record, insane !

10 game post season winning streak. that is just absurd.

I like this but in regards to the 2 HOF teammates doesn't that consider more thought. Most of Brady's teammates aren't eligible for the HOF yet. I cant think of at least 5 especially if you start to include a one and done like Revis.

Clarification is needed on the 10-game playoff winning streak, the Patriots post-season winning streak is three.

He's 21-8 now in the playoffs. Joe Montana's playoff record is 16-7.

One more SB run would put him at 24-8. Should we have to go a WC run to win it that would be 25-8.

One more title run will squash any conversation. One for the thumb Tommy and any controversy is over.

He'll be the greatest PERIOD. There will be no deliberation.
