Anyone else stoked for the matchup against Brady and the Bucs?

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

The thing is, we all do root for the laundry. Some of us just don't understand why so many people have turned on Brady.

 

[ashley]

The teams were similar in talent, and play in the same division. That's a split.

I think Miami had more talent.

I understand, tough to see the reality here in Boston all the way from Florida.

Russell
Orr
Williams
Bird
Benedict Arnold Brady (for the time being, he'll probably drop)

Very primitive take here.

Bill Russell hated Boston and would have been gone in ten seconds if free agency existed. Since retiring, he loves to point how much the city and fans sucked (and I’d feel the same way if I’d been in his shoes.).

Larry Bird couldn’t wait to get back to Indiana.

Ted Williams wouldn’t even talk to the press.

Bobby Orr left as soon as he became a free agent.

Tom Brady played in New England for much longer than any of these guys and took less money. I guess you’re really mad he refused to retire rather than continuing to play out his dream in another city, that isn’t even a rival to the Patriots, while he continues to talk about how much he appreciates and respects Boston and its fans.

I don’t think you know what reality is anymore. Soon, you’ll be scrubbing the inside of a hot oven.

Better yet:
Russell
Williams
Orr
Bird
Moss
Hannah
Benedict Arnold Brady (for the time being, he'll probably drop)

No, what is absurd is that can't see it.

The Packers game was 21-10 at the half, because they (The Bucs offense) scored TDs on 3 of 5 drives. And the SB was 21-6 at half, with the offense scoring 3TDs and having one drive stopped at the 1 yard line.


To say that those wins were just because of the defense is absurd.

Soon they will be calling Brady a system qb

 

[Kontradiction]

i have no idea what this means but i still laughed at it because you said it and i think thats a good testament of how funny you are

You’ll get a good idea of it when he responds.

 

[Deus Irae]

why should they have split with the Dolphins, they were the better team, same with the Texans....Just curious, if the Pats are playing in a week where Tampa is playing at the same time and you can watch only one game, which team do you watch?

Wait, because I want to make sure I'm reading this correctly. You're saying that the 2020 Texans were a better team than the 2020 Patriots?

Umm, he wisely took less money because he wanted to have full, complete teams to be able to win. Stop acting like Giselle and his millions makes him some kind of a martyr. It's embarrassing. Numerous QBs have taken something under what they could truly get because they were happy where they play.

Tom Brady became the highest paid player in NFL history in 2010. That's a fact.

They scored over 30 points in every playoff game and won all three on the road. They scored over 30 points in the Super Bowl and probably could have hung north of 40 on them if they didn’t exchange points for draining the time off the clock.

Brady was horrible in the 2nd half of the Packer game and in all honesty didn't need to do anything in the Super Bowl because their defense was so good. I don't want to come off like I'm knocking Brady because I'm not...I love him, the greatest Patriot ever, but he's not playing on my team anymore, so I have no skin in the game when he is playing other teams....just calling it the way I see it.

It might be a California thing. I've also never seen male adult family members kiss each other like this -

Damn that grosses me out.

No not a better team but more talented yes. Horribly coached.

 

[Deus Irae]

I think Miami had more talent.

If they did, it wasn't enough to mean that they "should" have swept the series.

You're not even trying to be neutral here.

Nice try at changing the original message by smuggling in the word "just".

Of course the Bucs won the NFCCG because of the contributions of their D. It was 21-10 at the half, and on the first possession of the 2nd half the D forces a fumble deep in GB territory setting up Brady and the O with a 1st and goal to make it an easy 28-10. And when Brady tried his best to give the game away in the 3rd and 4th quarter with 3 straight INTs, the D came up big by holding Rodgers and the Packers to three-and-out after the 2nd and 3rd INT when GB could've taken the lead with a TD.

This thread is picking up steam guys, let's keep up the good work!

 

[tom444]

My dad on January 8, 2020 from a 10 year battle with that and it tore our family up. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. That's pretty disgusting.

Kon's not too bright.

The thing is, we all do root for the laundry. Some of us just don't understand why so many people have turned on Brady.

It's not turning on Brady.

I didn't root for Curtis Martin when he went to the Jets.

Or for Coach Parcells when he left.

I didn't root for Roger Clemens when he left.

I actually did root a little for Brady last year... it was kind of the "rooting" version of feeling your leg still there after it's been amputated.

But time passes, "wounds" heal... and I root for the Patriots.

It's not turning on Brady.

He no longer wears the laundry.

I'll go back to the question that I asked before, if the Pats and Bucs were playing at the same time and you can watch only one game, which game do you watch, just curious?

Sure. But they’re the only team in NFL history to score 30 or more points in all four playoff wins. That’s not the defense. That’s the O.
