The end of the Patriots will be when Tom Brady either falls apart or retires, whichever comes first. And the fact that he's still going strong at 42 years old tells you that it's likely the latter rather than the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And happen to play in the worst division in the entire NFL. We were talking about it at work the other day, how they are pretty much handed 5 or 6 victories every year because of that division. They just need to basically prep themselves for the playoffs going into every year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 It says something about a team when you’ve been so dominant that your division opponents don’t even try. But I highly doubt that the level of competition from within their division would matter much. Brady’s win percentage against his division is 80%. His win percentage against the rest of the AFC is 75%. And his win percentage against the NFC is 77%. And that’s with playing a 1st place schedule for 17 of his 19 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady is brilliant no doubt and without question the GOAT. But it must be nice being a fan of the Patriots and not having competition from your division rivals for two decades. Even with the Pats domination, those other teams have been poor. Look at the NFC North, 3 of 4 teams are consistently fighting for playoff spots every year. That isn’t the case for the Dolphins, Jets and Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 11, 2019 Author Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) But I don’t think it would make a difference if those teams were competitive. The Patriots dominate those teams too.

Would have been interesting to see Manning vs Brady twice per year for a decade plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another week of laughable officiating in the NFL. i was so confused watching that. that's a clear DPI and i don't even see how it is debatable. he has a hold of tate's arm before tate even jumps and keeps holding on so tight that it spins tate's body around. tate never even had a chance to get a hand on the ball (it just hits him in the shoulder) despite the defender making no play on the ball. how much more obvious does it have to be to warrant getting overturned? does the receiver have to get clotheslined in the air? would that even warrant it getting overturned? and what irks me even more is that we had a TD taken back because the review booth GAVE us an OPI call when it wasn't called on the field, even though that call was waaaaay less obvious than the video above. like if the standard is that they stick with what was called on the field (or not) 95% of the time then why would they call OPI in hindsight, especially when it was such a wishy-washy call. in the packers-eagles game, philly got a touchdown but ertz was flagged for OPI - blocking downfield. while the flag should have taken the TD away, it was still a TD so they reviewed the play and decided to pick up the flag, giving the eagles a TD. ertz starting his block near the LOS but clearly blocked like five yards downfield.

No. Packers have head-to-head tiebreaker against us currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchezim Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Man, nice to see that 49ers are beating up on the Rams. Similar to what I said last week, it could be a bigger deal in the NFC than any one has let on. Edited October 13, 2019 by Torchezim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
