This is so crazy ain't it?

Wow...I’m embarrassed by this post as a Pats fan.

Maybe OP is unaware of the meaning of “mail it in” which is To deliver a performance without commitment or effort, with lackluster results..

Perhaps you meant maintain current level?

I think he used that quote incorrectly, otherwise it makes no sense.

Fans want to speculate, listen to sportstalk mediots, worry.. right now I will enjoy this really, really great ride and witness the excellence on the field..

The only concern that I have is who will be left standing when it is "Tournament Time"??

at this point Brady has been playing quarterback longer than any other quarterback in the league, he is the most experienced...

He has been playing QB in the NFL longer than most guys have been playing football including pee wee. A lot of guys in the league were too young to remember Brady's first Super Bowl win. That's funny and crazy. These guys were in elementary school when Brady was already famous.

Can someone please insert a “cool your jets” meme here. I’m too tired and drunk and old.

How about a "scare your jets into seeing ghosts" gif?

Pretty sure that's what he meant.

This year was the first time Tom played against a previous opponent's son.

Belichick and Brady know the answers to the test. The only way they stop winning is if their bodies break down or they get bored.

well at this point even if Brady leaves or breaks down, Belichick should have the answers for the test.

yeah. But Brady is his sharpened pencil.

Bill Barnwell has some comps about the Pats’ defense so far, showing things things like how they’re statistically making every QB they play as bad as that Buffalo QB from a couple years ago, and how this defense is a bigger outlier so far than the Pats’ offense the first half of 2007. Pretty cool.

The average NFL career is about 3.5 years, a very short shelf life.. Brady's longevity is historical.

There was a DB from the Redskins who played for many years, but I can't think of his name right now. There haven't been many long careers though.

Or you’d think they’ve lived through an 18-0 team losing the Super Bowl in the worst imaginable heartbreak and realize you should capitalize on every advantage possible, no matter how strong the team appears to be overall. Many don’t agree about “mailing it in”and being guaranteed the best year of the dynasty in 2019...that’s a combination of naive and arrogant, and this thread topic/opinion is idiotic.

Clearly the OP used the wrong words there, get over it.

They’ve won 6 SBs and lost 3 in 18 years. I’ll take that any day of the week. Stop looking for perfection in today’s NFL, it doesn’t and due to the salary cap, free agent system etc. can’t exist. That team almost went 19-0 barring a fluke catch, but either way a perfect team they were not. I’d like to know what else they could have done that year oh mighty one.

Let BB handle things alright, he’s shown he is more than capable of doing that.

Looks like we already cooled the Jets? Especially that Yards per Pass stat

That's what I'm saying this is one of those years of healthy could be our best yet.

Man we haven't been healthy yet. I hope some new blood and the bye will help, but it just shows how far ahead we are than the rest of the league. Winning with terrible OT play and just mediocre O-Line play in general. Praying Wynn comes back and stays healthy.

 

[Soliel]

Brady should never play for another team.

 

[Tony2046]

I'll tell you something else that's crazy. My son has two interceptions so far at half time during a playoff game. Tight game though.
