I am sorry Brady put his daughter in a video and posted it on social media. Did he not expect some kinda of remarks given how much everyone LOVES him. Sorry dude don't posts videos of your daughter
count on Buffalo to defend talking sh*t about a 5 year old girl

no, its just an inferiority complex people need to build to make themselves feel better and avoid the real truth that your team is not good enough to win and you cant accept it

I'm more talking about how " clutch " Brady has been in the playoffs...from the 2001 last minute drive to put their kicker in position to beat the Rams ....all the way to last year's SB where he made history....
I guess the way I look at it is if you needed to pick a QB being down by 4 with 2 minutes left.....Brady would clearly be my choice.....over Brees....over anyone actually....
take it a step further, Brady has led 4 Super Bowl winning drives.
2001
2003
2014
2016
He also led one in 2007, scoring a go ahead TD with 2 minutes left, the defense let him down.
Brees maybe pulls off 1 or 2 of those drives, but definitely not all 4.

so is Blake Bortles.....

True. I should’ve worded that differently.
You don’t believe that the calls had an affect on our play in the 2nd half. I disagree. It can take a toll on a team when they know they aren’t just playing the opposition, but the refs too. I’ve played in games like that and it definitely had an affect on my play. After years and years of the same bs over and over. It would be nice to see us play on an even field for once vs that team instead of having to beat 2 teams. It’s obvious. Do you not see how egregious this is?
Now now if I read this correctly. After a td, the refereees on the field look at the iPad and see if the call needs further review. If it does then they call the headquarters and ask for them to take over. If the refs on the field don’t think the td needs a review, the play stands....... but in this case, Riveron called the field himself and told them to overturn it. The 4h and 1 they showed that they have no idea what the rules are (no, they know the rules, they just choose to ignore them). Then the PI on Hyde vs cooks was a joke. Ball wasn’t catchable and cooks initiated all the contact and held him. That play shouldn’t even have occurred because the drive should’ve been over on 4th. 11 point swing (kB td, td drive due to missed 4th down call). The game was much closer than the final score. Give us 11 points in the 4th and anything can happen. Not a definite win, but it would’ve given us a fighters chance. As it was, we didn’t have a chance. We aren’t going to outmatch that team. When we score a td, it needs to be a td. Not a fg due to a bad call. When we stop them on 4th, we need the ball. Not to give them the ball with another chance to score. That 4th down call kept our team on the field longer and tired them out, we were gassed. Part of the reason we were gassed was due to a bad call.
The refs called the game with the patriots winning in mind. It was obvious for all to see. I’d just like for our guys to get a fair go at it with the season on the line. We did not.
and the complete lack of mental toughness that describes is EXACTLY why you are looking at an 18 year playoff drought.
Guess what? Not everything goes your way in a game, and if you fold like a cheap suit instead of fighting through it you get The Bills since 1999

I agree, but if it was between him or Brady. I want Brady retiring a Patriot. I rather search for the successor than have the greatest WB in Pats history traded to make some sort of point.
i will say this, they will be drafting a QB early this year to mold behind Brady.
it wouldn't be about making a point, it would have been Bill keeping the same mindset he always had.
The Patriot Way is you trade an aging guy 1-3 years early to make way for the young up and coming replacement...see Wilfork, Milloy, Law, Welker, Vrabel, Harrison, Vinatieri, Mankins, Light, etc. For some reason he did the opposite with Brady and Jimmy.
I personally would've traded Brady after this year and given Jimmy the reins. Same way SF traded Joe Montana to go with Young, Indy moved on from Peyton to get Luck and how Green Bay stuck with Rodgers when Favre changed his mind.
I have a bad feeling us Patriots fans are going to look back on this trade as a what could've been. You aren't going to find a better heir to the throne before Brady is gone than Jimmy.

Kind of like Phil Jackson's championship success with teams with Jordan & Pippen and Shaq & Kobe. He never built a team. Then with the Knicks in a different role as GM he was not successful and started doing and saying crazy things to get himself fired.
Red Auerbach.
Built the 60s Celtics dynasty and coached them to 9 championships in 11 years.
Also builds the 70s and 80s Celtics, winning another 7 championships as GM/President.

It may have been established earlier in the thread, but can anyone answer this question?
Do we remember the Oakland(?) game where Tyrod ran a sneak at the goal line and basically jumped into the pile, extended his arms, broke the plane, and then had the ball swatted out of his hands, but it was ruled a TD?
What is the difference between Tyrod breaking the plane on an extension and the play immediately being dead, and Jesse James breaking the plane here and the play not being dead? Is it because TT was a runner, and James was not yet considered a runner because he hadn't completed "the process of a catch" whatever that means?
exactly.
Look, 'process of the catch' isnt hard to quantify in this case. He dove for the pass, and the bobble happened when he hit the ground from that same dive. The entire dive is considered part of the catch. You need to make a separate football move beyond the catch to become a runner.
For example...if he had dove, caught it, got back up to his knees, then dove for the endzone and bobbled when hitting it would've been a touchdown.
Hate the rule all you want (I do), but it was called correctly according to it.
and frankly, this one was way less of a "screw job" than Dez Bryant in the playoffs. On that one he made a separate move by landing, turning, then reaching out

Biggest b.s rule. The NFL literally made that up on the spot, and then officially made it a rule the next year to justify that horrible call lol
be more wrong.
funny how people forget the same call went against the Pats vs the Jets that very season. bad rule, yes...but the call was made to the letter of the law. deal with it.
its hilarious how much you all are a bunch of pathetic cry babies. especially with all the "someone please take out Brady" talk you were spouting off before the game.
-
oh the irony in the reactions here is amazing.
didnt half of you just spend a week asking someone to "just take the 15 yards" and intentionally injure Brady?? the second someone takes the exact shot you were calling for you start tripping over yourselves crying and complaining about the "audacity" and "respect"

Okay-dokey........ Of course I already knew quarterbacking statistics don't count re Tyrod, but apparently this post-modern development has now spread to his peers.
I'm curious, tho : You've (of course) proved the numbers mean nothing, and I congratulate you. But let me know what your sense is : Did Edelman's absence affect Brady's performance or not?
I await the benefit of your wisdom.......
not yet. He's throwing for 44 more yards per game and 1% better completion % and an identical 112 rating to last year
-
Touche. So Brady relied on Edelman as a (rhetorical overkill alert) "crutch" thru enough season to tally up 248 td passes, but doesn't any more.
Doesn't make the slightest difference to my point, does it? Because the people I'm responding-to insist receiver quality doesn't impact quarterback play.
And it's amazing how often they bring up Brady as "proving" their point.......
since becoming the player he is now, Edelman only has 20 TD over 4 seasons...6, 4, 7, and 3.
Edelman is the 'move the chains' crutch.
However, Edelman is not the only receiver Brady throws open, throws to spots expecting him there, etc. He does that with ALL receivers. It's why not everyone fits in with NE because as a receiver you need to read defenses like a QB to know where to be and when to meet the ball.

Well, let's do this again :
With a decent (not great) set of NFL-level targets, Taylor has performed well - with a good completion percentage, exceptionally good yardage per attempt, and an exceptional touchdown to interception ratio. The numbers proving this have been posted on this board so many times I don't think it's necessary to do so again, but will if prompted.
Every attempt to claim Taylor is intrinsically incapable of playing quarterback because of (insert one of the hysterically overstated fanboy "flaws" here) runs into the problem of those numbers : Give Taylor decent (not great) talent and he performs better than the average quarterback. Please note the numbers don't prove Taylor is one of the best quarterbacks in the game, nor has anyone claimed they do.
factually incorrect.
21st in YPA and 19th in YPC last year and 19th in completion %. TD/INT ratio is a garbage stat because of the point of this thread. his INT is artificially low because he refuses to make any throws except the most basic and obviously open ones. Never leads receivers and never throws anyone open. He has no ability to make decisions based on pre-snap reads and how the D is set up. The good QBs know who will be open, when and where before the snap
-
The problem with this assessment of Taylors play is the averages are caused by the lowest passing attempts in the league something of which is determined by the OC 's in the Bills run heavy O.
Is the information accurate, sure, but the Bills also led the league in total rushing and average per attempt. ( previous season )
the non volume driven stats arent any better.
2016 season he ranked:
19th in completion %
21st in yards per attempt
19th in yards per completion
18th in QB rating
25th in 4th quarter comebacks
27th in game winning drives

Just a question that's bugged me in recent years. Why are NFL rosters so restricted? Teams basically are allowed no depth and you can't even keep guys in the building to train in your system. Sometimes they have to cut guys they like to make room somewhere else because of injuries. Wouldn't league quality improve as a whole if teams could keep and develop more of their own players? I'd love to have this explained please.
ummm, they arent.
22 starters, 53 total players on the roster
for comparison:
Baseball only has 5 bench players for 8 position players, there's 12 pitchers but they all have roles and are used.
Hockey carries 1 bench player (2 if you count the back up goalie)
-
The problem is we don't build around the QB, we tend to do the opposite. Which has been proven to be an ineffective way to build an NFL team. The only way to get a solid 1st rd Qb is to tank, cause else we will get somebody who is either a 'work in progress' or another e.j manuel.
false.
Brady - 6th round
Carr - 2nd round
Rodgers - 24th OA
Wilson - 3rd round
Prescott - 4th round
Big Ben - 11th OA
Brees - 2nd round
Cousins - 4th round
-
outsider's choice here.
Fred Jackson, easily
-
its both, lack of good coaching and a lack of talent.
Hate to break it to the Buffalo fans that severly overrate the talent on the team, but the Bills havent had good talent across the board in ages. Talent = throughout the roster, not just a couple big name players. That is why they fail to make the playoffs.
You need talent at spots 2, 3, 4 on the depth chart of each position because of the nature of injuries in the NFL. Having a shiny toy at #1 doesn't help you win consistently.

Marino by a HUGE gap.
Jim Kelly is overrated, sorry but true. He's the 90s version of Eli Manning.
21 TD to 28 INT in the playoffs
average year is 3,500 yds, 23 TD, 17 INT.
Marino: 61,361 yds, 420 TD
Kelly: 35,467 yds, 237 TD

Cincy and Tampa look the best by far.
Best looking of the teams that dont normally use black...the Chiefs. Red and Yellow look great on a black background.
-
That was his second preseason game with his third new OC in not even three full seasons yet. I don't know if anyone could be successful with that much turnover.
I dont care if he was out there with a bunch of kids from the Special Olympics, there's no excuse for any starting QB to have 2 picks and 50 yards in a pre-season game...period.
-
lol because the offense scored a whopping 6 points when he was on the field, against backups. With this logic, start Yates because he scored the only TD.
So Luck is a bust? TT is no Luck, but the point is you need a complete team.
Luck is also 43-27 as a starter, has 3 11-5 seasons, been to a AFCCG.
has 19,000 yards, 132 TD in 70 games...272 ypg for his career (70 more than TT).
Luck's career low in passing yards for 1 year is 3,822...Taylor's career high is 3,035. Luck's worst year was 800 yards better than TT's best
Luck's career low in TD for 1 year is 23... Taylor's career high is 20. Luck's worst year is 3 TD more than TT's best
And in case youre gonna say "but but, Taylor runs" so does Luck. 1,500 career rushing yards and 14 TD

Even Brady has had a very good O line throughout his career.
not really. he's had a good one most of the time, but its more his efficiency and quickness getting the ball out makes the line look better.
big difference between having to block for only 1-2 seconds vs 5 seconds
-
I won't make any assessment of Tyrod in the new offense until the starting OL is intact and he has a full complement of weapons.
Good QBs make their OL and weapons look good.
When you need the OL and weapons to make a QB look good, you have a QB problem and are going nowhere fast

the career totals are skewed because of the gaudy numbers today's no touch league allows guys to rack up, but looking at top 10 finishes shows how good he was
7x Top 10 in yards: 1,2,3,3,4,6,6,8
7x Top 10 in TD: 3,3,4,7,8,10,10
9x Top 10 in completions: 1,1,2,3,6,7,8,8,8
8x Top 10 in game winning drives: 1,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,5
16th all time in yards
21st all time in TD
13th all time in completions
stay classy...?
