My unpopular opinion is that the offensive limitations last year were almost as much Brady than the WR corps and O-Line. He really started to look his age last year and not just in the second half. He is a 'chip on the shoulder' type of player, so there's a legit chance he'll have one last great...
I see him as very similar to Fran Tarkenton actually, maybe a half-notch better because he did win a superbowl. but Win-Loss wise, and stats compared to his contemporaneous peers.
I would say the 2016 team was better balanced in general and so could better handle injuries as they came up and also could more easily adjust their entire style of game when they ran into a wall in another style.
Honestly, I am completely apathetic toward the Jets. I don't even consider the Jets the Pats divisional rival. They're kinda like the Blue Jays to the Red Sox. They're the 3rd tier of rival in the division. I see Miami as the "Traditional" rival of the Red Sox (ala the Yankees for the Red Sox) —...
Ok, so I looked at the list there and basically what I read is, if you're a #1 seed you have a HUGE statistical advantage of winning a superbowl. More than 20 of the last 30 superbowls were won by #1 seeds. NFC having a wide advantage there, but regardless, #1 is a gigantic advantage in first...
Re: cassel......to the vikings?
That is the most important part of this article. That sort of talk makes him even MORE attractive to every single team in the NFL. It raises his value to the patriots, and helps ensure that they get maximum return for him in the case they DO trade him. AND if...
There is no real difference between republicans and democrats. None (and i realize this isn't the board to offer a 29 page diatribe on the one-party system so I won't). They are, without exception, corrupt, moronic, and pathetic. It is not at all shocking that Specter is doing this hideous...
Re: WOODY PAGE GETTIN BRADY's BACK!
Tiger Woods IS a more dominant athlete at this point. Though it's really hard to quantify in terms of numbers. I don't think it's a one to one correspondence with majors to superbowls. BUT... Where Tiger is at this point in his career vs. where Brady is...
That Dolphins team was NOT crap. they were 12-4 and won the division. They were a very good team with a very good QB that did a very good job against their great defense.
What this really says, i think, is that even a great team can slip up against a quality opponent. Of course, the bears...
Perhaps i'm missing something deeply technical, but here are a couple of things i keep thinking:
a) If special teams doesn't maul the kicker, Jacksonville doesn't get the second touchdown.
b) If BB doesn't have to fish for 20-min in his sock for a red flag, they dont' get their first...
this article really gives a feel for just how driven players on the patriots are to win. It seems to me that BB isn't only looking for great players, with great talent and great smarts -- this makes it seem like his ideal player also has to want to win just as much as he does.
The list of...
Absolutely. It's a possibility EVERY week. I was doing a little math, and i think it's VERY telling. If you have an amazing team, and every week, no matter how good the opponent, you have a .70% chance of winning. That would still mean that your chances of winning 19 in a row are 1 in a 1000...
