Mike Tanier - The Decline of Tom Brady, Part XIV: This Time It's Really Happening

Recommended Posts

The only thing I don't like is that NE has beaten lots of playoffs teams already this year.....they beat Houston...beat KC.....beat Chicago....beat the Colts ( if they make it )......beat Minny ( if they make it )......looks like Pitt is cooked....the only loss came vs Tennessee...all they have to do is win at home after a week off to go to the Championship game.....they don't lose often at home with 2 weeks to heal and rest....no matter who the opponent is....

Good point. I thought about it before posting but not sure that Lamar at this stage in his career can go against Belly. Agree it could happen. For sure Ravens D would have a shot at shutting Tom down. All things considered I see NO as Brady's Waterloo this year, if worse comes to worse.

If NE* has to come to KC, I can see KC winning at home. I'm not sold on NE"s defense and KC can score.

Im not sold on their D either. I think Drew Brees annihilates them. Haven't checked the injury reports but KC was short starters on D when they lost to NE. If they are back healthy then NE would have its hands full with KC and PM.

I agree with you about NO. They are the favorites in my opinion as well. I'm really hoping to see KC vs NO in the superbowl. That would be a fun high scoring game.

Lol, Brady will be 42 next year. 42!!!!

 

I don't see NE* doing anything in the playoffs. Brady is showing his age and he will be playing a good team. Not the Jets.

I think Baltimore would beat them.

Patriots at home have beaten everyone at home.  That includes KC, Indy, Texans. Now if they lose imo be in the AFC Championship game in KC.. 

 

ravens O doesn’t scare me. Lamar will be forced to throw to win and that’s assuming the hold on to beat the Browns and Pitt doesn’t wake up lol

They are super tough at home. Almost unbeatable. But this years team, especially the defensive side of the ball are not as good as previous Patriots teams of the past decade.

If you're a Buffalo Bills fan then the New England Patriots total domination over the New York Jets today was THE worst NFL game you saw all season.

 

Bodes bad for the future of the Bills, Jets, and Dolphins.  But mostly the Bills.

 

:thumbdown:

 

The cheaters won't be facing the rookie quarterbacks in the playoffs.  And the decline continues.

KC could be getting healthy and rolling at the right time

 

We shall see... NE doesn't have the weapons they had before and their D is just ok

 

I don't know what the reports are but I expect them to get Sammy, the ultimate decoy, back. And that should help them a lot.

The Bottom Line:  Tom Brady knows how to win football games.  Bill Belichick knows how to win football seasons.They have ben doing this for nearly two decades.  I expect the New England Patriots to win the AFC East for at least the next two seasons.  Bills, Jets, Dolphins are light years behind.  Worse, Sean McDermott is not a winner and never will be a winner.

 

:oops:

At least the next two seasons?! That is a very depressing thought....

 

The Bills, Jets, and Dolphins have been absolutely pathetic throughout the 21st century. Here are their performances vs. the Patriots from 2001 - 2018:

 

Dolphins vs. Pats: 12-24

Jets vs. Pats: 8-28 (1-1 in playoffs)

Bills vs. Pats: 4-32 ?

right...

 

Anyway, they did better than face a rookie QB.  They got Rivers, who they have owned for the past 10 years.  Another slam dunk on Marmalard....

Yeah I'm never buying into this again.

 

The NE dynasty is never going to end and they will win Super Bowl #6 and their obnoxious fans will be rubbing it into the faces of all of us "haterZ"

 

I'll bet this super bowl title is going to feel better  for then than any one but the first and maybe Atlanta

What's funny is that I feel like quite a few Bills fans will be rooting for the Patriots this weekend.

 

Not only do I want the Chiefs to win, I expect them to win. NE is 3-5 on the road this season and has looked very different away from Foxborough. This is Andy's year.

Its a lose lose.  If Pats win, we will all hate it.  If Chiefs win, this board will be impossible to be around the entire off season.  

 

GO NFC!!!!

The Chargers walked into it badly.

 

They did the very worst thing they could possibly do: let NE run the ball down their throats and give Brady the cheap throws. That's the literal opposite of what every team that beat NE this season did.

 

7 DBs all game long against a run-first team? Brutal

He looked like crap yesterday. Chargers didn’t play the run. It’s just the opposite now to beat the Pats.

play the run, jam receivers at the line and play everything tight within 8 yards. I’m not a DC but anyone worth his salt should see how to stop the Pats O. Brady has lost accuracy when trying to throw with velocity. Brady also can not throw the deep ball anymore. Not sure the Chiefs have the D to expose him. I think Mahomes will out score him. Pats getting crushed this weekend.

And with all those DB’s, you would have thought that the WR’s wouldn’t all be wide open as well...

He had a couple of 15-20 yarders spot on and on a rope yesterday.....I expect NE to lose in KC but IMO, no one is getting crushed.....Belichick, McDaniels and Brady are too savvy for that to happen in the playoffs.....I remember only 1 game in 18 years where they got crushed in the playoffs......vs Baltimore....what a glorious day....

Stupid soft zone garbage.

 

NE doesn't have a WR that can reliably beat man coverage, so naturally it makes sense to play zone all game

If the Chargers would have changed their defense to fewer DBs BB would have altered the offense to take advantage of it. I'm sure the Chargers didn't believe that the Pats OL could have so easily handled their DL. The Pats won at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball in this game. I've seen the Pats play less than stellar on both sides of the line this season. When the playoffs start their coaching usually outshines the opposition coaching.

I didn’t see any 15-20 yard ropes. If you say they happened I will believe you.

The Bills built up the perfect secondary to beat the NE of 2 years ago, lots of quality coverage safeties and a lanky coverage linebacker who can shadow those tight ends.... then they go and run over us with their running game.

 

It's like they watch film and figure out what your team sucks at.

That's precisely what they do, and it's exactly what the Chargers didn't do.

 

Brady isn't the Brady that he was even 2 years ago, but he can still pick you apart if you give him the easy short stuff. Make him throw the ball over your head.

Hopefully KC runs man.  They dont need to blitz Brady as most teams do.  They have the ability to out score them.

Ha. I can walk and chew gum at the same time. I enjoy watching Mahomes play yet don't hold it against the Bills for passing on him. I don't think they were prepared to make that kind of decision. It's unfortunate, (IMO), but it is what it is. Also a fan of Reid living in Delaware(30 minutes from Philly) during many of his Eagles' years. He's dealt with a lot of stuff(death of his son) and I just feel like he deserves it. Hell of a coach. 

 

If Allen develops into an above average to elite quarterback, the Mahomes thing will lose a lot of steam.

 

Either way, I'll be rooting for the Chiefs and against the Pats.

Yeah I will certainly be rooting for Chiefs too, but not in the SB Ha.  Rams are my 2nd team and I’ve always been a big fan of Brees too.  So I am all NFC this year.  

 

Although I have nothing against KC at all, enjoy watching them and was always a fan of Sammy, but some people I fear will make this board unbearable if they win lol.

This is my take, when NE is winning at the LOS and running over your defensive front, teams like the Bills end up having to commit their linebackers and safeties to stopping the run, which opens up play action and the dinks and dunks to their TE's or receivers out of the slot or running drag routes behind them.

 

Playing zone or just putting 7 DBs out there wont get it done, you absolutely have to win the LOS battle and have solid linebackers or you are not going to get them off the field.

I don't know why any Bills fan would be rooting for the Pats* other than to wallow in their own self-loathing. That said, I'd like to think that KC will win this game but betting against Bill Belichick and with Andy Reid in a big game is a fool's errand. If the Chiefs win it, it will be because of a herculean effort by Mahomes and despite Reid's best efforts to bumble it away. I'll believe that the Pats* are done when someone drives a stake thru their cold, black hearts.

Some people hate Mahomes more than they hate the Patriots IMO.
