40Year Pack Fan

Sounds like they're encouraging people to opt out, knowing full well they won't allow full capacity at the stadium anyway....

Considering the players are equally capable of spreading the virus, fans or no fans is really inconsequential..... A bubble and endless testing, perhaps being the remedy?....

The Packers have already canceled fan participation at the stadium for the first two home games....

New England seemed as well to be on the precipice of rebuilding last year...Brady was getting up in age, Gronkowski had retired and the team was lacking a deep threat receiver(so they brought in Antonio Brown)....Edelman being his most trusted receiver, while some of the others not quite so much....I think Brady was reading the tea leaves and realizing he didn't want to be around for a rebuild....This and he wanted to be paid after years of sacrificing for the team in order to bring in quality free agents....

My hypothesis was tongue in cheek....My apologies, but I believe the rivalry between BB and TB is driven externally by those with this idea rolling around in their noggins...

Could Miami not have made a play for Brady before drafting Tua?....Darnold is close to being a bust in NY....I mean what's he really done?...Of the three you mentioned from the division, Buffalo was the best set....

Another thing I find intriguing is, if there is this big axe to grind between Brady and Belichick, than why didn't TB try and stay in the same division?....I mean the way Favre tried to get back at GB.....TB and BB facing off twice a year....I mean the narrative writes itself.....

But to read your post, you make it sound like friction was the cause and effect that lead to Brady's departure....

It was a symbiotic relationship that however worked quite well....Perhaps the so-called friction was the fuel that primed the motor.....

Your thoughts are in line with somebody watching from the sidelines, and not in the know.....I don't believe TB or BB have openly stated they would like (or need) to prove they can be successful without the other.....In fact seems to me they have been respectful towards one another, and acknowledged the influence the other one has had in their successes in NE....I think it's far more benign than you make it....They may both for personal reason like prove to themselves they can continue to succeed w/o the other, but it's not like they have an axe to grind when it comes to doing so....Nothing personal, but there is nothing in Missouri that I can currently use....

Your point is mute if neither wins another championship, and all it would prove is that one can go on and be successful without the assistance of the other....Besides all BB has to do is pass Don Shula in wins and his legacy will "grow exponentially"...

Further add, would like to see Denver, Atlanta and New England go back to their retro helmets....Call me sentimental....

Charger's "powder" blue uniforms are timeless....The Panther's should be higher than 25th....Cardinals are in need of an overhaul...

Yeah, he doesn't have the virus, but was put on the reserve list... https://www.yahoo.com/sports/matthew-staffords-false-positive-covid-19-test-is-just-the-tip-of-an-imperfect-nfl-season-000903778.html
