Brady is consistently great, but all of his SB games were down to the wire. Montana was a master when the competition was the toughest. He was at his best in all the SB games. His QB rating supports this. Brady's average SB rating is 95 and Montana is 127. To be the best you have to dominate the best and that's exactly what Montana did. I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion, but this is the way I see it.

During the interview after the Miami/Jets game Farve said that he heard Brady had torn his ACL and that he felt bad for him.

I remember the Mercury Morris fumble and will never forget my anger at the refs call. As stated previously, he was in mid-air when the ball came out. The fumble was more than confirmed by the instant replay. I think that may have been the Miami unbeaten season in 1972 (24 to 23 loss)which would make that even more difficult to swallow. It was so long ago, it's hard to remember. Back then I was only around 10 years old, but my father used to tell me that Shula had the refs in his pocket because he was the head of the NFL competition comittee which the refs reported to. This made sense because during those years, Miami always had a huge edge over the rest of the league in total penalties. Most analysts claimed that Shula just had a better disciplined team. Maybe. The seeds of my hatred toward the dolphins had been planted with the Morris play and reinforced with other controversial calls during the 70's. Does anyone remember when Roland Hooks caught a low pass from Ferguson against Miami when we were driving for a late go ahead score. I can't remember the year, but I think it was around 75. A replay was shown on MNF halftime highlights showing the critical call. That was another gem. It always seemed that we would get a flag on critical plays. My feeling of conspiracy theories has lessened a lot since then, but you have to wonder about the call on Reed and the no call on Clements against the Steelers.

I'm not sure of the exact rule, but I thought that contact between a receiver and defensive player was allowed within 5 yards of the line of scrimage. When they showed the replay, I thought Reed was within 5 yards of the line when he made contact with the defender. I feel that this was the turning point of the game.
