Split the Sticks

All I can say is, what a tough question. Brady is still playing, too. But it is hard to say no matter where Tom ends up at retirement. People tend to go for "the world of what's happening now" so that gives Brady and edge. But I don't know, and I'm a huge Brady/Patriot fan

In 2002, the patriots had their playoff destiny in their own hands in week 17 v. Jets @new england. The long and short of it is,,, Chad Pennington was better than Tom Brady. Exit Patriots.

Being a Patriot authority here, let me explain. The 2020 Patriots did not repeat because the NFL has RuLZe. Yeah. When you suck, you don't make it to the dance floor. That's life.

Not necessarily, Johnny. Scarnecchia is retired for the second time, as per @Trojan above. The first time he retired (for one year) the pats oline sucked. They made it to the AFCC game v. Denver and lost by 2 points in a close one but Brady got TOASTED. The next year, BB begged Scar to come back, and he did. Not sure about the guy we have now but there was only one Scarnecchia, IMO. But it's Fooooooooooooooooootball. So we get to see. ☺️

Lawrence Taylor, of course. Best LB, EV-ah

Sounds like a plan...? ya, but, we heard this about the 2021 season and they came out of it smelling like a rose. Good job, Chiefs. (IMO)

I think you have a good read on the situation, @lancerman It takes time to get the players to gel.

Point. And Terry Bradshaw would have been dumped before the first season was over. I mean he really sucked

just a not of curiosity... the two times the Steelers won the championship, they did not face the patriots. That is NOT true for Ravens. Also, the team that stopped the Patriots dead in their tracks... Broncos. The pats never faced the Broncos and won the championship.

Thank you, Bay Raider. Couldn't agree more. I think the Bucs have been unjustly trivialized and the blame laid on injuries. Bull. The Bucs defense was well coached and well prepared. Chiefs fans, I get it. You think you have the best team, best QB (you do), and therefor, the fact the Chiefs lost is no fault of their own. Sounds like me in 2007, undefeated and heavy favorite Patriots w/ Tom freekin' Brady... How can it ever be!? Simple. Watch the Giants play defense. That's how. 😞

Let's not all forget DENVER/CAROLINA The regular season MVP sorely disappointed 🤔

I must be missing the boat here somewhere. Dak Prescott signed a 4 year, $160,000,000 contract with the Dallas Cowboys, including a $66,000,000 signing bonus, $126,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $40,000,000. And yet this has yet to be entered into a thread in the NFLNews section, or NFLGeneral, for that matter. $126M guaranteed?? Cow-a-bunga, dude.

Trade JimmyG to the Patriots for a 9th rounder and a Popeye's chicken sandwich. I think BB will go for that, 😁

Wes Welker: 12 seasons, 903 receptions, 9,924 yards, 50 TDs: Postseason: 13 games, 88 receptions, 866 yards, 5 TDs: 5 pro bowls, 2-time 1st team all NFL 45% more yards than Edelman, same 12 year career. Wes Welker, a former Patriot, does not have a chance at HoF, either.

😁 I like how you think
