Well that was an interesting weekend! Bummed out about the GB game; the defense still needs a ton of work. On a related note: the refs need plenty of seasoning too. I did enjoy Al Michaels' open contempt for them, though.

I would argue that the close games were decided by Brady since their defense wasn't that great. Trust me, I don't like Brady either, but I have to admit that he's a great QB. I great QB that I laughed at when he lost the Super Bowl that year. |
Was the argument that he isn't a great quarterback? I didn't go that far back in their discussion, but if so then I misunderstood. Brady is a great quarterback. I just don't think he's as much of a cornerstone on his team as Peyton Manning was (is?) on his, i.e. even without Brady the Pats would still be pretty damned good, albeit less good than they are now. I give a lot of credit for that to Darth Hoody, dark lord of all that is NFL.

I'll give him his due, he certainly didn't look like a rookie out there, and the team as a whole looked much better than I thought it would. Between them looking like this and the Eagles looking like...that....my predictions for the NFC East are threatened week one!
| Mendicate Bias said: The only close games were the Ravens and the Giants in the regular season. Everything else was a blowout or close to one. I admit that we were lucky to beat the Ravens and the only reason we did was because the coaches called a horrible timeout. The Giants though was all Tom Brady throwing incredible deep passes and bringing the team back from being down. The only superstar brady has ever had at reciever was Moss and he only came to the team late in his career. Everyone else has been no names that Brady made good with his amazing passes. Stop acting like Brady had nothing to do with the Patriots success. |
Don't go getting your panties in a bunch, buddy. Brady's good, and apologies if I didn't make that clear enough earlier. I just give more credit for the team's success to the guys off the field than you do.
