Brady was obv more then just a system QB at NE.
Yes those turnovers sure helped Tampa but in all honesty, he is one the greats... and thats coming from a Dolphins fan..

I would like to see Brady win it all, that would literally make the Patriots Org look pretty bad...

This would be absolutely hilarious.  I'm still not sure who I'm pulling for, I really don't despise any of these teams.  Brady winning it all would be the icing on the cake though.

LOL, I'm not a Ravens fan. My team sucks even more than Patriots, if that helps.

I will not be mad but I will have to explain myself, I am NE fan and obviously a Brady fan, but that may bring the question, if I am a Brady fan why I was rooting for the Saints to win? And that is because I am also a Football fan, I enjoy Football in general which is why I appreciate the greatness of other players and teams as well, and while I will be happy if Brady gets its 7th SB win, at the same time I wonder when will we see someone surpassing him? And the most likely answer is that I will not get to see it.

Before Brady came to the picture Montana was this unsurpassable wall for QBs, no matter how good they were they could not compare to his greatness, when Brady won its 4th SB we finally had someone that could rival him at the top, some will still put Montana at the top while some argued about Brady, but it did not matter, we were watching one of the greats and that is all what mattered, when Brady won its 5th SB, and even more importantly the way he did won that SB, people finally began to change their minds, so he is for the most part at the top of the list of the best QBs of all time.

But when he won his 6th SB this created a problem in my mind, Brady has been so dominant for so long that he is now even interfering with the legacies of the next generation of players, on his way to that SB win Brady beat Mahomes on the 2018 AFC championship, think about it Mahomes could most likely have already 2 SBs and could be aiming to get his third but not only Brady interfered with this but he enhanced his own legacy by adding a 6th SB win, if he wins his 7th SB what will the next generation of players have to do just to get in the same level? Win 3 or 4 SBs in a row? Get one or two undefeated seasons and win the SB? The requirements to be on the same conversation are getting more and more ridiculous as we speak, so while I appreciate the greatness of Brady he is leaving the bar so high that if this continues I am afraid we will not see anyone coming close for the foreseeable future.

Really? I thought you just enjoyed Football in general and did not support any team, which team do you root for?

They were just too dominant all the time and people hate (kind of envy) that. It's the same in every sport and no reason to worry or be mad about it, the hate/dislike will be gone when the Pats are back to normal. Another thing is, that haters are way more active in (publicly) expressing their opinion than fans doing public praise. So there will always be this disbalance, also because this is a very black/white matter, there is no middle and you have more haters than fans naturally, because the percentage of Pats fans in comparison to football fans/fans of other teams is pretty low like for all teams.

What added to that hate is all this little cheating and pushing the boundaries on top of playing in a super weak division all those years. People thought that NE somehow didn't deserve to be this good, but though I disliked their dominance/success, I always thought it's well deserved, because they were masterclass in a lot of areas and this should get rewarded.

If the Giants ever started such a reign, I wouldn't be too happy about (I think !), because I find it boring in general. It's way more fun to not know, if you will win any particular game or if you will win your division year after year, reach the Conference Championship for the gazillionth time in a row etc.; adds more spice and adrenaline.

Here are the odds for Sunday:

I like the Bills But you will get them above 3 inplay I think.

Looks like this year's Super Bowl will be disputed between the NFC's Old Man Quarterback and the AFC's Young Whippersnapper Quarterback.  Kind of a funny thing I noticed while reviewing the games from this past weekend, the average age of the quarterbacks from the two conferences; the AFC favors the younger generation, while the AFC favors experienced journeymen.

I also notice that as the post season winds down the average age of AFC QBs has gone down, while in the NFC the average age has gone up.

Do you still like the Bills knowing Mahomes is starting tomorrow? I dunno man. It sounds like there's a chance he may not run as much due to a toe injury, but even still, I just don't see the Bills winning here, even given the fact they have been pretty on fire.

I'm leaning toward putting in a bet on Tampa Bay; probably will go with +2.5 or +3 to play it safe. Rodgers is gonna be hungry for one more Super Bowl, but so is Tom, and Tom is just a devastating force when crunchtime rolls around. Antonio Brown playing would certainly bolster their case but I've heard conflicting reports about that... last I heard he was Questionable.

Absolutely amazing set of games today.  Placed on Chiefs vs Bills @ -3.  Deciding on Green Bay vs Bucs @ -3.5.  Wondering if there’s any chance that spread moves to -4 or -3 by game time.
