Random thought, everyone whined about Brady's easy path, particularly in the AFCE. How he always seemed to have an easy path in the playoffs. This year he goes through 2 HOF QBs and the 2nd and 1st seed both on the road. And what will happen next year?
Saints have their QB retire and are now in cap hell, looking to rebuild. Rodgers may well be moving out of the NFC all together. Meanwhile, in the AFCE the Bills have become the 2nd best team in the AFC the year Brady leaves. What the heck? Is it just me, or is there something about Brady that just crushes the will of teams and players around him?
Imagine if Rodgers actually does leave GB. Stafford may well leave too. if Watson stays in the AFC, which he might, then the NFC will suddenly see a talent drop the year after Brady enters. I think part of it is luck, but part is also just the effect Brady has on other teams.
It could well be next year the top QBs in the NFC are Brady, Wilson and then...... Matty 'choke on ice water' Ryan, Cousins, Murray and??? Ummm who? So it will basically come down to the Seahawks vs Bucs, assuming the Seahawks don't trip over themselves like they have in past years.
