Tony Romo is so bad. He cannot possibly ever hide his bias. Not sure why he hates the Pats, but he sure does.

Man, Pats fans have nothing to complain about ever. The most blessed fans in sports. I'm happy to be a bandwagon fan.

Jared Goff kind of looks like Ryan Gosling.

Jared Goff kind of looks like Ryan Gosling. I bet the Pats get a -7 point spread. This is an easy SB opponent. I'm mad it's not the Eagles again because they easily could have been there with a tiny bit of injury luck. Hell, they just beat the Rams with a crapload of injuries. |

Brady is great and I didn’t want to say this last night and be a buzz kill, but the Patriots dominated over half of that game and the reason the Chiefs were in it was because he wasn’t playing great. He played great in the 4th and OT which is what he does and why he is the best that ever played the game but that game should have been a blow out the way the defense was playing and the way they moved the ball on the ground. Also, if Dee Ford wasn’t lined up offsides we’d be talking about the Brady pick to end the game that was a “deflection” but really just a bad throw.
This isn’t a Brady hate rant; it’s just reality of what went down. It’s why him and Belichick are a great team. Brady our played Maholmes last night and our coaches out coached them; it’s why we continue to make teams with more talent look inferior.
And I can’t stress enough how great, outside the throw to Gronk, that Brady was when it was all on the line. Even the runs he gets credit for reading the defense. He was at his HOF best.

Yeah I don't think they're easy IF Gurley is anywhere near healthy. If he is healthy they flat out can go blow by blow. |

The league is bad. There really isn't any other conclusion to reach when you have one team with this kind of sustained success. The people tasked with beating them are woefully inadequate. No way you would see this in the old days. There might have been only a few teams the had a real chance, but they wouldn't have allowed this to happen.

Well to be fair, Brady could have read that Dee Ford was offsides in the first place and decided to chuck it with a free play. I thought Brady was as good as ever. Edelman was the guy that almost screwed everything up imo, which is surprising to me. |

No way you would see this in the old days. There might have been only a few teams the had a real chance, but they wouldn't have allowed this to happen. So, you think the Patriots would've had a harder time if you eliminate the salary cap and have less teams? Belichick would get to groom players for their entire careers while not worrying about maintaining the culture with the constant roster turnover, and wouldn't have to worry about getting his best players poached for top dollar. This team would get Akiem Hicks, Cooks, Chandler Jones, etc. No team gets more talent poached than the Patriots. It was so much easier to sustain success in the NFL during the 70s-90s. The Patriots didn't win a single title between the 04-05 and 2014-2015 seasons, so it seems like things were fairly competitive for a while, right? Or is the league only bad when the Patriots win? As far as the "people tasked with beating them", there's Peyton Manning, who did beat them three times in the AFCCG. If not for Tom Brady and the Patriots it's a lock that Peyton Manning would currently be viewed as the GOAT. Ben Roethlisberger has routinely been tasked with beating them, and while he's a notch or two below Peyton he's a two time SB winner and a clear HOF talent. Moving on, the Patriots have lost three SB's and have been in one possession contests every single time, which is hard to do without strong competition. For perspective, the Red Sox have been in four World Series recently and have lost 3 games total in those best of seven contests. Were the Red Sox just that good, or has the NL simply produced woefully inadequate teams? If you're going to argue the Patriots dominance is a product of an inferior league you'd by default believe the Red Sox dominant WS wins are just a product of inadequate NL competition. Back in the old days there surely would've been an 86 Mets or 75 Reds that would've beat the 2013 or 07 team, right? The only conclusion to reach is Bill Belichick's the most valuable person in sports. The amount of time he's invested in this operation has created a nearly perfectly run team. Despite that, most years, the NFL finds a team that actually can beat them somehow, and even then it's by the thinnest of margins with very few exceptions. Trying to discredit this Patriots run in any way is like trying to discredit the intelligence of Einstein, or the musical acumen of Beethoven, or the wealth of Bezos. |

Totally because the Cowboys of the Landry era, or the Steelers in the 70s or the Niners of the 80s and 90s didn’t dominate for insanely long stretches.... go back and look at Cowboys under Landry.... the “league is bad” argument is really a “Patriots are insanely good and impressive” comment. The league is set up to NOT do this. All those teams i mentioned are pre-salary cap and some pre-free agency teams. To do this with a salary cap is ridiculous. |

Even a covered one? Possible but suspect. |
