So, what did Belichick do vs Tampa?

Indianapolis absolutely has to be entering that game with the identical mindset they had against Buffalo. I don’t know how Ballard or Irsay could possibly look themselves in the mirror, assuming they actually care, if they lose that game.

I know that I am probably in the minority here, but I don't mind seeing Belichick succeed without Brady nearly as much as I mind seeing Brady succeed without Belichick. In my rat's ass of an opinion, Brady is not as great of a quarterback as were Dan Marino and Peyton Manning were, in spite of the fact that he has been the starting quarterback for 10 conference championship teams and 7 world championship teams.

One of the best gauges of a player's value is to see what the team does without him. In 2008, the Patriots went 11-5 when Tom Brady missed the entire season with an injury ...... in 2011, the Colts went 2-14 when Peyton Manning missed the entire season with an injury.


I think that Brady is overrated, which is not to say that he is not an all-time great. I think that Brady is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time ...... I just don't think that he is necessarily THE greatest quarterback of all time, which is why he is (in my rat's ass of an opinion) overrated.
