khaosoy Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Something to keep in mind is that even though he threw for 500 yards, he only threw for 3 TDs and when the game was on the line he fumbled. Foles threw for fewer yards and the same amount of TDs and made key throws at the end that gave the Eagles the win. It was sort of a reverse scenario with Foles doing what Brady has often done in these types of games. Of all of their SBs, I believe this is the first time that Brady didn't lead the team to a score when in a similar situation and made a mistake that closed the curtain on them winning. GOAT is a definitive title and its situations like this that can continue to cement legacies and if he does drive down the field and score and they close out the game, it just makes the argument even more concrete. But now, there is fuel for the other side to say that football is a team sport and NE's success boils down to organization/team/consistency/execution and not just one man. If the defense plays better maybe they win and those 3 TDs are good enough and the fumble doesn't matter, yada, yada, yada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuckRule Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 How much does Brady actually care about trying to help his franchise win the most superbowls ever (7) or at least tie with the Steelers (6)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I don't think it really changed much. It was definitely one of the best games of his career and goes against the narrative that Brady was in part carried by his defenses but that narrative died a long time anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He straight up gives you the best chance to win a game and there is no such thing as a safe lead against him. You win and lose as a team, so he has to accept this lose as much as he takes credit for the ones they win. It does look bad when you look at as a win percentage but at the end of the day I rather 5 Super Bowls trophies and 3 loses than 4 Lombardis and no defeats. I’d rather have 5 Lombardis and 3 losses than 5 Lombardis and 2 losses. The later just means that you were less competent and ended up losing earlier to an easier team. Losing to Jacksonville or Tennessee the weeks before should not make you look better than you are as a Super Bowl loser. 5 Lombardis and 3 losses is waaaaaaay better than 4 Lombardis and no losses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverine_Joe Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 GOOD VS. BAD for brady's playoff run GOOD 1 more SB appearance 2 more playoff wins added 1132 playoff yards added 8tds 0ints first player to have 10k+ playoff yards most yard ever in the SB and in the entire post season history 3 straight 100+ QB rating in the playoffs BAD 1 SB loss didn't shake foles' hands i'll take the good.

Shady Slim Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 well it's a superbowl loss and his only fault was he couldn't catch (though in the grand scheme that was huge) so it shouldn't hurt him - i am a firm believer in crediting a team for getting to the big dance rather than vomiting all over them for losing it so this season was successful for brady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised you feel that way, Wolverine. As a Buckeye fan I think his fumble, dropped pass and his hail mary pass that was off the mark by several millimeters lost it for his team and now he shouldn't make the HOF. Honestly, no one will really remember this one, they will remember last years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The accuracy that we have seen from him in the past just wasn't there. Even then most of his great throws were to wide open receivers being poorly covered. Having said that this doesn't effect him in a major negative way. It does more for the Eagles and Foles. He also completed some throws that weren't exactly accurate. As great as he was I think they left more points/yards on the board. Also, not to disparage Brady at all but do Patriot receivers literally catch everything that they can get two hands on?

The only thing he can do at this point is jack up the amount of rings he's won to make him even less chaseable in the future. This one would have helped, but his legacy is already the GOAT and losing in the Super Bowl doesn't change that. Even if he pulls an Eli Manning next year in terms of performance, he's still the GOAT. Declining in the twilight of your career shouldn't affect your legacy at all. Also, people that point to rings without context as to determining career success are idiots. Completely agree. I've watched them all for 65 years and Brady is the goat and I am no NE fan. Nobody comes close IMO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Only increases his resume, which already was the greatest for a QB in the modern era. Doesn't mean he's the greatest quarterback to play the position in terms of ability though. For some reason people equate list of accomplishments to ability of playing the position. Those are two different things. I still think Marino or Rodgers are the best to play position. Maybe Steve Young too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 @khaosoy You’re really going to pin the strip sack on Brady..? Graham got his hand on the ball as Brady was just starting the throwing process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x0x Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 505 Yards, 3 TDs with no picks and 33 Points in a loss. That's arguably GOAT performance in a loss ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
