I have never rooted for any player to be hurt and I never will.

 

That's taking sports to a different, borderline sick, level, in my opinion.

 

It's a ***** game.

Especially when we're talking one of, if not thee greatest football player in the history of the sport. Removing Brady is like removing the last boss on a video game you played forever to reach.  Beating Tom Brady on the grid iron for the whole world to see is how I expect to see Mahomes become a world champion.The passing of the torch onto the next generation of greats the way it should be done in my humble opinion.

 

Let me 2nd that

 

Its a game folks.

i would be thrilled to bits to watch Mahomes outduel Brady in a great display of elite QB domination on Sunday

were you old enough to remember them gushing over Vince Lombardi?

 

Belichick has tripled the accomplishments and then some of Lombardi.

 

 

I am old enough to remember reading a book, Bart Starr as a school assignment in grade school.

Just because you are "great" doesn't mean you should be a dick

? - Lombardi won five championships as head coach, just like Belichick has. He also won a championship as OC of the Giants and would have won a second if not for Alan Ameche's score in OT in "the greatest game ever played." Bear in mind that he also died way too young, from cancer, at age 57.

Yeah, I remember some very hard-hitting, tell it like it is biographies of sports figures in the grade school library. In fact, there are probably a few of these kinds of books about Brady in school libraries now.

I never wish injury on any player, but I get where people are coming from with Brady.

 

My dream scenario is this: KC beats them soundly and then this supposedly massive east coast winter storm hits and delays the Patriots flight back to Boston so they have to sit in KC and stew with their loss for an extra day or two.

so many in a row that Bill Simmons admitted he has forgotten the count, 7, 8, 9???

 

For those of us who need consoling after reading that, the Bills are still the only team to ever have WON 3 afccgs in a row, to say nothing of 4.

 

(Cue the but I’ll take just 1 of his SB rings in exchange in 3...2...1) :(

This is one of the Unsolved Mysteries of our time.

 

There is no question that Brady*** is a great NFL QB.  One of the greatest.

Belicheck*** is a great NFL HC.  One of the greatest.

 

I believe there is substantial evidence that they cheated at times, and skirted the rules very close to cheating at others.

I also believe they could have won most of the above without cheating

 

Which leaves the unsolved mystery - why?

 

...very interesting assessment bud.....I'm guessing the "other 31" were snickering about some of their mischief as in "stupid enough to get caught"......jumping down to Augie's response in the thread, he cites arrogance and greed...."greed" as in financial doesn't fit because him and wifey have a boatload.....BUT...arrogance as in "I'm above the law" sure fits because of his accolades a/k/a walks on water daily....like a size 15 7/8 fedora to fit the swelled head.....face that type daily and like a runaway roach, they need to be stepped on.....

People hate them because they win so much.

I hate them because they cheat so much. I still think Brady is a great player, it's just that almost everything he has done is tainted. Tom Brady would be as loved as MIchael Jordan if he didn't have all of this Shady crap following him around all the time.

A lot about the rivalry of Starr and Unitas

 

60 cents for a book.  Those were the days

A year ago I would have wanted Brady to have an injury, but I have since softened on that. I'd love to see KC pummel him around a great deal tomorrow and beat the Pats convincingly, but without any real injuries in the process. The tide will turn eventually and their dynasty will fall, but other teams have to earn the top spot by wresting it away from them. It seems that the more I despise the Patriots, the better they do... so I just have to let it go.

....I'm on THAT band wagon quite frankly....same for the Rams over the Saints.......move over oldies....young guns matchup of Mahomes vs Goff in an "Air Coryell last man standing" is MY choice......

No injury. If he walks away on his own or because of injury, HE WINS. You never see him lose it on the field and just fail. I don't believe he's got much left in the tank, but who the hell knows with him. I certainly expect the temperature tomorrow to affect a 41 year old more than a 24 year old. Could be a real changing of the guard.

I want Brady’s demise to come at the hands of the Bills in Orchard Park, ala Joe Montana.

My dream is to sweep them in his last season, win the division and then blow them out to knock them out of the playoffs.

 

Just having them fade away quietly won’t help erase the demons.

He's probably the GOAT so there's that. Funny that anywhere else than on a playing field he can seem like such a goof at times. Roger Maris was more my kinda guy. He was born surly. Stengel once said if you asked him a question he would stare at you for a week before answering. But I digress.

Really looking forward to tomorrow's game. Could be a landmark, historic event.

Every time i watch a PAts game i ask myself why don't they just hit him hard after the play and take the 15 yards. Everyone knows he doesn't want to be hit and isn't the same player when you hit him. Then i just sit there, not getting touched, and watch him carve the d up with short passes over and over and realize why i hate him so much!

 

Do you hold yourself back from stealing purses off 75 year old ladies in the dairy aisle at the grocery store too?

Is anyone to the point where you hope Brady goes down with just enough of a minor injury to force him out of the game? I hate hate that team and am so sick of them. Last year every time Jacksonville laid a hit on Brady we were yelling Hit him harder! The Super Bowl was awesome last year! I am a huge KC fan this weekend!

I actually dont care if his injury is career ending.

Brady seems like a jerk.

But he also seems be the most competitive guy on the field every game he plays. He never shuts it down.  He knows his offense inside and out.  He knows when to speed up the pace of play to exploit mismatches. He gets the ball away quick, and he throws an accurate ball. Pretty impressive for a jerk.

I find it interesting that the most brilliant mind in football with brilliant assistants has a fruitless Coaching tree.  Most great coaches have assistants that go on greatness on their own.  Tom Landry had Dan Reeves and Mike Ditka as assistants.  Andy Reid had Doug Pederson As an assistant.  Bill Walsh had Mike Holmgren. Mike Holmgren had Gruden and Andy Reid.

 

Bill Belly ache has non one. Probably the best is Kelly in Houston who has managed to win a week division a few times but no playoff wins. Charlie Weiss stunk at ND.Mang ini washed out. McDaniel sucked in Denver and got busted for illegal video taping like his Daddy.  So far Patricia is carrying on the family tradition.

 

I wonder why that is?

You’re too gentle hearted. I want to see his helmet come off on the field with his head still inside.

I’d rather have Brady play the entire game and still get blown out by Mahomes and the Chiefs just to show the Patriots and their obnoxious fans that the glory days are over.

How'd that work out for you?

Not so well!     ; )

 

That's just life as a Bills' fan in the Age of Brady.  The sun is setting in New England though.  Maybe next year, maybe the one after that.  Who knows?  I've been waiting 20 years for the Bills to be on top again, I can wait one or two more.  I think we finally have our QB. 

 

I'll still never root for any player to get injured, even Brady.  I've worked the last 23 years in one of the busiest emergency departments in my state, and I see people busted up every single day at work.  I won't wish that on anyone.  As I recall, wishing an injury on Brady was the theme of the OP.  

 

Patriot fans are spoiled and a lot of them are simply jerks.  Instead of being chill about it and acting like they have been there before, and remembering what it was like during the lean years for their franchise, they feel the need to rub everyone else's nose in their team's success.  They act like they are out there winning the championship themselves.  So while I will never wish injury on another human being, I will enjoy watching the wheel turn and seeing the 2-14, and 4-12, and 5-11 Patriots struggling, and listening to the cries and lamentations of their obnoxious fans. 

 

Just ask the Six Fingered Man....karma is a B*tch

Minor injury? I'm pulling for leg getting twisted to the point that it is just hanging by a tendon. Suh is just the kind of player that can make this a reality.

I want the Patriots to just stop winning all the time.   

 

HOWEVER, I for one was mesmerized last night by the level of excellence that that team has achieved.  They have a coach who is smart enough to think of everything and be prepared for everything, and they have a quarterback smart enough to understand and implement everything the coach thinks of.   We've never seen this level of excellence in the NFL before, and we probably never will again.  It's truly magnificent what they do.  

 

Belichick does it by taking ordinary athletes (by NFL standards) and teaching them.   The one thing that isn't ordinary about them is their personal commitment to perfection.  They know their jobs and they do their jobs on every play.   They do the basics - blocking and tackling, better than anyone in the league.  They never give up on a play.  

 

It is, by the way, what McBeane are trying to build, and when they do we'll know how the Patriots fans feel.
