By completely restructuring it and then landing a QB that's elite.

In other words, this will take at least 5 years, probably longer. And by then Kelce is retired and Hill over the hill. But in the next 5 years, little to no chance.

Yep. I'd agree with that. I'd always trust BB to coach up a tough game, but what can he actually do with this current roster and QB situation?

Taking Buffalo as an example, it took them years to find their Allen. Would you say Drew Bled was a franchise QB for them? That was 15 years ago. If it was Jim Kelly, that was 24 years ago. For us, Alex Smith was good enough, but before him it was 2005 when Trent Green stopped being good. It's brutal if you don't have a QB.

One thing people didn't realize yet: Tom Brady runs BA's offense when he's in the middle of the field. And most likely he'll target receivers outside the numbers for his big plays attempts to avoid returns. Once he gets there the no risk it no biscuit activates and he'll take his chances. You can check the highlights and lowlights. Outside of him making bad reads or not being in sync with the receiver or the receiver just dropping, almost all of his INTs an a lot of his 'big plays' TDs came from that area where he's not giving up TDs or FGs < 50yds and if he gets intercepted there's a good chance wont be any return, so that works like a punt.

That's why people criticizing Rodgers for not taking advantage of TBs turnovers didn't make much sense. His average initial position in the drives after TBs turnovers was at the 18y line.

Now, he'll probably have to take chances in the redzone as well. Can't beat KC kicking FGs. He'll need some  luck when he tries to risk it to tighter windows in order to get the TD but it's better than playing cautious and losing by 18.

43 Years Old.

First year in a new system.

Limited pre season activity.

47 Touchdowns. 15 Picks.

3 straight road playoff wins.

I mean... what is there even to discuss?

Brady isn't the first QB to win three playoff games on the road. Big Ben did it in 2005, and Tony Eason (of all people) did it in 1985.

Aaron Rodgers 2010

Didn't Eli Manning do this in '07?

51 touchdowns, he had three rushing in regular season and 1 against the Saints in the divisional.

He didn’t say he was the first.

No. Nope. Nu uh. Pretty sure football was just cancelled that year. And in 08 too, now I think about it.

Yes, he did (and 5 of 6 in his 2 SB runs)

Eli had 5 road playoff wins

Flacco had 7

  • 10 TDs and no picks in the last 4, even if the first 3 were heavily reliant on his D

Brady has 7 now as well.

  • Everyone is free to give him partial credit for 20% crowds due to COVID if they want for the last 3

 

Random Impressive Trivia

Ray Lewis won 10 road playoff games (The 2000 SB run had 2, and in Miami in 2001 + the Flacco games)

Nope, don't see where he claimed Tom was the first.

 

See Jon, this is what there is to even discuss. People find ways or invent things.

That’s nice. Now name the ones who did it there first year on a new team and went through at least two teams with HOF QB’s
