Bing Bong Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I don't think so unless they change offseason rules.. I don't like that Brady takes a pay cut. Every player should be paid what they are worth. That makes a huge difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes a huge difference you mean you don't like how he's conning the system Kraft pays how much to TB12 for the players to get "treatment"?

It's even better if everyone is against you and you get to watch them whine and cry every year. Must be fun. It'll be over in 10-15 years when Brady retires though.

row_33 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Maybe or maybe not. The Habs/Isles/Oil dynasties have left me not caring at all about multiple SC winners on star resumes since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 If someone can stop them this season the damage might be limited. SF got 5 in their run so as long as the "next best thing" comes along and STAYS FREAKING HEALTHY everyone will move on to endlessly fawning over that QB/team and forget about the Patriots, who hopefully by then will be perennial losers again. I worry about them getting a 6th. It needs to end this Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) I can’t possibly imagine another NFL team will dominate like the Pats ever again, but I felt that dynasties were finished in the NFL before they showed up Edited January 19, 2018 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 On 1/16/2018 at 4:53 PM, TheFunPolice said: In sports, when 1 team or individual (in a sport like golf or tennis, for example) wins so many titles, does it sort of lessen the future champs? And if the Patriots win 6, does that lessen future SB winners? In the future, is it always going to be a "yeah but" thing? We can already hear it in fans: we hope Brady and Belichick retire so someone else can win. But are SB winners in a league where you don't have to worry about NE not as impressive? Suddenly all the also-rans can compete for the trophy because the big boys got bored of winning and retired? 5 rings for NE is already pushing it, but the 49ers got 5 rings in their dynasty run (Montana's 4 plus the 1 Young got), so it's happened before. However, 6 rings with two spurts of 3 in 4 years separated by almost 20 years is insane. Will the shadow of Brady and Belichick's accomplishments stand there and say to all future SB winners "look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair?" Where are all the up and coming stars? To me, it really hurts the league when nobody is up to it and the same team wins all the time. Montana's career ended on the frozen turf in Buffalo in a crushing loss. There was a passing of the torch type moment in that. At the end he was just very good, but no longer what he once was. IF Brady retires and a different team wins next year will part of the narrative be that it's because Brady is finally out of the picture? If so, that sucks for that team because it takes away from what they accomplished and it hurts the league's ability to build new stars. No. But a Super Bowl won by Blake Bortles and Doug Marrone certainly would diminish the value of a Super Bowl title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 On 1/16/2018 at 5:05 PM, TheFunPolice said: Those (aside from the 49ers) were more spread out though. Especially the Steelers. It drives me nuts that the level of competition is so pathetic. The Titans and Jaguars are all that stood in front of Brady getting to another Super Bowl, where he will be up against Case Keenum or Nick Foles... In another world he could have faced Smith and Big Ben in the playoffs and Brees in the SB at least. But he is going to get ring #6 playing against backups and journeymen. It sucks. The competition is so pathetic? Didn't an absolutely stacked Steelers team lose to Blake Bortles? Didn't a juggernaut of a Saints team just lose to Case Keenum? Didn't last year's MVP and NFC champ lose to Nick Foles? How can you say the competition sucks when these teams are advancing through the playoffs? Doesn't it indicate that "competition" is better than it has been in years? Did you not watch last weekend's games? That's a really bizarre take.

The fact that Buffalo went to 4 Super Bowls in the Era that they did it in is extremely impressive. The players were ripping each other's heads off and spilling guts out on the field. Those Pats teams would never be able to run this pick and run offense because their WR's and TE's would be getting killed. The NFL grew a vagina and the Patriots took advantage of every single rule change that benefited the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I would love to see myth busters do a whole show on the real advantage of letting the air out of footballs. When you look at Ben Jarvis Greens carries to fumble ratio through his career you see that his fumbles spike in College then are completely gone with the Patriots then spike again with the Bengals with 5 in two years. I give the Patriots zero credit and don't acknowledge any of their accomplishments. Way too much shady behavior with everything that they have been caught doing.
