2021 NFL Season Thread Football • Page 42

luckily have avoided seeing such nonsense, but I do wonder how teams approach KC now. Teams have a blueprint for at least making life very difficult for KC - have two good safeties, always double Hill, and build a defensive line to generate pressure without blitzing. Not gonna always work and that’s easier said than done, but before yesterday there was maybe the first half of the AFC title game against New England to watch to try and figure Mahomes and the offense out.

 

this tweet sums up well my opinions

 

That’s what I mean by “relative parity”. It seems like the rotation of competitive teams has been better since 1970 for the most part... and they all eventually fell apart or had their weakness exploited... except for Tom Brady being in like 37 of 39 superbowls (exaggerating lol)

 

49ers lasted 15 years with 10+ wins. Once they fell off, the Patriots stepped right in, like some Sith level shit. So, in a sense there's always been one fairly dominant team; and then you can cycle through the Cowboys/Colts/Seahawks/etc for secondary level dynasties in the 2000s.

But the NFL has enough parity that you believe any playoff team can win it; and there's at least like 10 competitive teams year to year with a real shot, unlike say, the NBA.

 

It’s whatever. Just don’t wanna keep seeing other elite QBs go to the playoffs just to get assassinated by Brady hahaha.

It’s just pitiful at this point that guys put up ridiculous 5000+ yard seasons and make 20 plays that Brady couldn’t ever dream of making. And you think “wow this guy might be next in line to revolutionize the game!” But then in the playoffs 40+ year old Tom Brady beats that player just straight up chilling and calling audibles, handing the ball off, and throwing to Gronk for four quarters, because no one is as consistent as he is hahaha

 

I wanted Russell Wilson to beat Brady so bad. I wanted Patrick Mahomes to beat Brady so bad. I wanted Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, Donovan McNabb, Kurt Warner, Jake Delhomme even! I wanted anybody else who looked really good that year to be the underdog. But somehow he only loses to boring QBs I don’t give a fuck about like Nick Foles and Eli Manning LOL

 

Always two there are. Never more, never less. A master, and an apprentice. One to embody power, the other to crave it.

 

am I supposed to read this in Yoda’s voice? This is a Star Wars quote isn’t it?

 

Haha yes. It’s the rules of the bad guys.

 

I still don’t understand how that Eagles team was playing so well together and then just became dog shit. That SB team was just clicking and no one was stopping them. Didn’t matter if it was Wentz, Foles, or Tebow.

 

Man Andy Reid lost to Tom Brady TWICE. At least he snuck a superbowl in there last year before Brady came back on top.

 

The iggles superbowl was maybe the most fluke run there’s ever been imo

 

Its funny the Patriots almost lost to another fluke ass playoff run the week before that lol

I was cocky at the time but realistically that shit wasn’t sustainable. We had like 7 or 8 defensive touchdowns that year and over 30 turnovers lmfao no way were we gonna keep that up

 

You know, I’m gonna say 8.

#MylesJackWasntDown

 

I see it as more bizarre than that. They weren’t really clicking except for the Super Bowl itself and most of the NFCCG.

foles and the team looked awful against the Raiders (I think) on Christmas, they barely beat the Falcons and until the pick six against the Vikings that game looked like it was headed to be 14-0 Vikings. Really was lightning in a bottle for about 7 quarters in the playoffs and maybe one regular season game (or half of it).

 

only because we got cheated out of our win

 

When is randall getting his myles jack wasn’t down tattoo?

 

The day before I get my “your offense had the most predictable game plan ever” tattoo.

 

In an alternate reality if Coughlin and co. didnt fuck so many things up, I wonder if Brady goes to Jacksonville instead of Tampa this year. If the defense has even 2/3 of the pieces it had in 2017 that’s gotta look tempting. Offensively not as many weapons as Tampa, but they could have quickly fixed that if Tom would have been coming to town.

 

So I went grocery shopping earlier but ended up getting a lot of stuff and Ubering back.

Just went to pick up my bike from the grocery store and rode back in 24 degree weather.

let’s say I won’t forget my gloves next time lol ouch my fingers

 

having a local favorite tonight

 

Man, watching Tom go to Jacksonville instead of Tampa, and seeing Matt and Randall turn about face with a quickness would have been something haha

 

is this an instacart ad

 

This one fascinates me the most; if Peyton beats Brady in those early playoff games and wins the Super Bowl, we're almost certainly talking about him as the GOAT because he was undeniably the best QB in the league almost every year for the better part of a decade. Say 2003/2004 they win, we're talking 3 in 4 years and maybe Randy Moss begs to go to IND in 2007 instead...

And then the Colts get another elite franchise QB and the Patriots absolutely ruin his world in the playoffs too
