The Patriots are on nearly every week nation wide so unfortunately I get to see them plenty.
I have known you by your postings for years any I understand you are so consumed by your jealousy of NE that you can't enjoy the Jets or the NFL but facts are facts. Brady has been pressured constantly this season. His tackles, usually the strong spot on the line are terrible, the fact is the Jets O line has been better in pass protection this season but Brady , as much as you hate him, as do I and most NFL fans, is one of , if not the best QBs of all time and your quote that any QB would win behind that O Line is just wrong.
By the way,Scarnecchia has been their O line coach since 82 with the exception of the time he was the Colt's o line coach, 2 seasons and 2 years of Retirement. I bet the Pats O line was never ranked first.
As far as last year's Superbowl , poor coaching by the falcons in the second half , abandon the run and 3 n out repeatedly gassed the Falcons D , coupled with Brady's release, there was nothing the Falcons D could do.
I know that they are a division rival , and your going to stomp your feet and take your ball and go home, but they are the best team in the league with the best coach and QB by far. Quite possibly of all time.
The good news is that Brady and Belichick don't have many seasons left in the league. I hope once they retire , you will be able to enjoy football again , or will you look for another team to make you misrable ?
Nope I can't enjoy the Jets. But that's because there is nothing enjoyable about them. Look at this season. We were built to get the number 1 pick and we can't even do that right.
I'm not jealous of the cheatahs. I do not like them. Yes, they are by far better than anyone else and will win every superbowl until belichick leaves. But they are proven cheaters and because of this they get the big * for everything. When belichick declined the Jets job, if you listened to his speech like I did , I said to myself, "Man this guy is a wheenie and I'm glad he's not our coach and as much as the Jets suck at least whatever team he coaches will suck worse. Well, turns out 2 years later he picks up a dozen former Jet players brings them to the cheatahs and wins 18 straight superbowls and counting...
When I watch a cheatahs game, if I were a commentator and the cheatahs were on offense the only thing I would need to say is "plenty of time... wide open" if you watch the games then you know that to be true. Again, you are talking this season, not the previous 17...and this season is young. In a few weeks no one will be anywhere near brady.
As for my statement "anyone can play qb on that team" We can speculate for the most part but We can also look at the limited time without brady. When Cassel played the season, if memory serves they were 10-6? Cassel was thrown into the season unexpectedly and still brought them within 1 Jet loss of being in the playoffs and probably winning the superbowl. Cassel has done nothing since. Last season brady was out 4 games. cheatahs were 3-1 the lone loss was by the 3rd string qb and he was injured... and didn't that 3rd string qb win the game before. Now that 3rd string qb has replaced another great qb. How's he doing on that team?
Lets speculate now. If brady were drafted by the Jets , Where would he be now. If Peyton Manning played for belichick and brady had played for the Colts, how many superbowls do you think Manning would have won. My speculation says , more than brady. What if brady and Luck switched places a few years back? Wouldn't luck have a bunch of superbowls.
3 backups combined for a 13-7 record on the cheatahs. None of them having played before. What do you think Eli, Ben, Rodgers, Rivers, Alex Smith, Brees... would have done on a cheatahs team with the other teams playbooks to back them up?
How about this? Belichick has no problem cheating rigtht? You can't deny that as he's been caught before right? Since he loves to give the finger to the NFL and it's rules, what makes you think he has stopped doing any of the things he was caught doing?. I'm willing to bet that he still tapes everything he can. Heck, they didn't even make him throw all the tapes away when he was caught. Why would he stop? Last year, if you remember, the Falcons playbook went missing for half a day and a drone was seen flying over the Falcons last practice before the superbowl. Coincidence? I'd bet...NO..., based on history
without the cheating would the cheatahs still win a lot? probably yes. Would they win every superbowl? probably no. Lets assume that cheating wins them 2 games a year. 2 games is the difference between homefield advantage and playing on the road
Did anyone get near brady during the superbowl comeback? I didn't watch, but I would bet... NO
Did you watch them play the Falcons a few weeks back? Brady gets hit while throwing an int in the endzone. It was a hit that most every qb takes every week with no flag. what happens? roughing the passer. no int. cheatahs get 15 yard penalty and a sure touchdown. I turned it off there . game over
Can anyone who's not a cheatah fan enjoy football right now? You're right that I can't. Who is going to win the superbowl this year? There is no competition. For the next few years even. Noone is even close
I'll give brady credit for one thing. He can definately ignite a fire under his team. The few times that he has ever been hit (excluding Giants games) he rips into his team andf after that it's "plenty of time, wide open" for the rest of the game.
you are right. they are the best team by far. and they will win many more superbowls and own every record there is in football. Heck, I say, they'll get an undefeated superbowl winning season. Looking at stats like you do, supposedly their defense stinks right? Did they stink against Atlanta a few weeks back? essentially a shut out right? They'll probably get the first superbowl shutout some day too. Why not?
But they haven't proven anything until they can put on Jet uniforms and win a superbowl. and that is the one thing that will never happen
I will take football seriously again when belichick is gone. Until then, it's a fiasco. If it were up to me, I'd give belichick a win for every game until he dies and let everyone else play for second place. At least then there would be some competition
