The standard of SB or bust seems to have been a Brady standard. The new Pats standard now is just make the playoff or bust.

Yeah.

Players are the main reason I follow the NFL. Brady is about 50% of it. Gronk/Edelman was maybe 25%. Other favorite players are exciting veterans with HOF potential Evans, Suh, AB. Not many players left to keep me hooked as a fan of the NFL.

Pats are just not as exciting to follow right now. They don't have many players with distinguished resumes or rookies with all world talent.

I don’t know about you but i find Harry super entertaining when he’s on the field

Also Matt Patricia makes me want to rip my hair out.

Odd way to be a fan of the ultimate team game, but to each his own.

Perry's NFL QB tiers: Where does Mac Jones rank entering Year 2?

Where is Mac Jones’ rightful place in the NFL quarterback hierarchy? Our Phil Perry set out to answer that question by placing all 32 signal-callers into his official “QB tiers” for the 2022 season.

www.nbcsports.com

Brady is ranked "elite" but he's better than those other guys on that tier so I think he should get his own tier. Best QB in football and barring injury I think he's got a great shot at MVP.

Mac is ranked "good". Based on the criteria they're using of a guy who can take a decent supporting cast to postseason contention that's fair. He did that last year. We just don't know yet if that's all he is or if he can be better. I think he can but time will tell.

Funny how he kept both Watson and Mayfield out of his rankings.

Wow Edelman went OFF on a podcast about Jimmy bailing out on those two games back in 2016. Echoing exactly what Martellus Bennet said.

Yeah he said it's understandable why Bennett felt that way. I remember hearing on WEEI a report the team was really unhappy about JG backing out of week 4 close to gameday. Brissett had no business starting that day with his injury.

I think we can also put to rest the idea of his comeback it's not happening.

People still question the Brady effect. Lol

From page two of the petition filed on Monday: “It is now known that in many of Watson’s multiple massage interactions, more than massage therapy occurred — indeed, with at least thirty different women, the ‘more’ that occurred included unwanted sexual advances and outright sexual assault by Watson. Each of those thirty plus women, most of which are complete strangers to one another, experienced strikingly similar conduct from Watson.”

Based on the lawsuit filed on Monday, at least six more lawsuits against Watson are possible.

Edelman also said “You also have to look, hey, [Garoppolo] got paid $30 million,” said Edelman. “So maybe I’m the dumb guy who didn’t make as much money to sacrifice for that team. I guess I played for the memories, not the money.”
JG knew he'd be traded and was just protecting his body for a big pay day. I can't blame him, but Brady on the other hand,..

Tom Brady sacrificed $100 million in exchange for more Super Bowls than Peyton Manning and other rivals

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has all the qualities that some of the NFL's best players possessed before him. Aside from on-field skills, the difference between...

At age 45 he is still in the elite tier with a young buck like Mahomes. That is really amazing when you think about it. The write up also said he was the best Qb in football last year at age 44. Mind boggling.

“It’s a ‘What do you think?’ job,” Arians said, via JoeBucsFan.com. “Everybody asks me what do I think and they know they’re getting a brutally honest answer, whether it be [owner] Joel Glazer, [G.M.] Jason Licht, [head coach] Todd Bowles or [offensive coordinator] Byron Leftwich. It’s been fun going to practice, watching and learning some more, watching us change, looking at the new guys. Man, that draft class is going to be a home run. Looking forward to getting to camp.”

Bruce, how is life treating you after getting fired by Tom Brady? "Great!" he said. "Everyone is asking me what I think. Except Tom, of course."

Bruce Arians is the oldest HC to win a SB at 68 years. No HC has won a SB after 70 yo. I expect he'll hold on to that record for a while.

It was 1963, five years before the Super Bowl started. Still an NFL title (the AFL was in its third year and not yet viable).
